I weigh 500lbs and needed my own custom bed frame. I used all 2x4's, 12"OC with 9 legs that come down. I used OSB as the surface and wrapped it in black landscaping plastic to protect the bottom side of my mattress. I will always recommend someone build a bed frame/base if they have the capability. It's so nice knowing it's going to be strong for ever.

Jay, I love your channel! I have been watching you for years on Perkins Brother Builder’s and started watching you about 7-8 months ago. Your doing a great job explaining everything and showing how your doing all of the work that you are doing! You are killing it! Great job keep it up! Love you and Steph. ❤❤

When I still was living at home, I did worry that my bed was squeaking... Jay is running to his 40/50 and he is still worried about a squeaking bed. He did show off that the old bed was not up to the task more than only sleeping :-). But he overbuilt this time.

Great strong work bench Jay and it has storage. love your videos.

Seeing Jay doing his math for outside or inside resonated so much with any of my projects... so ... is it inside or outside here ... how much do I remove ? let me do the math AGAIN just to be sure

Belt sander investment

If you wanted the baskets to be 18x18 internal then you should have made the spaces about 20x18. Accounting for the width of the basket frames etc. Also, are you going to use soft close rails or are the baskets just being out on the floor? What about all the wasted space in the middle ? Could have been used for something probably.

cut holes in the ply or long strips out so mattress can beathe. unless you want mold.

Thats why God invented shims Jay.

re: Lexel @37:00 adhesion/waterproofing is *opposite* of what's important underneath a mattress. For healthy sustainable sleep, you'll need ventilation to prevent microbes/mold taking up residence in an "enclosed" space ---> use a hole saw drill bit to make large openings in your plywood at 1 ft intervals (same idea as holes on a cat carrier) to allow air to remove the respiration moisture from your bodies as you sleep!!!

@@Building_Jays_Way you'll not need to perforate the 8 niches on the left or right sides (for your basket-drawers) since that plywood can breath as its open to outside -- just the center area "boxed in" at sides by boards at top and bottom

Damn Jay I didn't know you were a plumber now. Laying too much pipe ended up breaking the bed.

Good going Jay, beds aren't precision so your 3/8" will be lost. I'm liking the walnut stain you've used it looks really good. I made my son a captain's bed, many years ago, with a closet at the head. There was a hidden compartment at the bottom of the closet so he could hide under the bed as all the sides were covered. Please wear a mask when you sand, I was like you, but then my lungs got diseased with Pulmonary Fibrosis and now I'm terminally ill, there is no treatment, no cure. Please just consider it, at the the end of the day it is up to you. Great post, thanks for sharing, keep safe and well 🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨
