Great job with the bed! One thought i had for someone else attempthing this build: @ 3:47 when you were worried about lining the hinges up correctly, you could have actually drilled those holes before assembling the frame. Take the two end boards, gang them together and drill the holes completely through both boards at once like you did when you were lining up the holes for the nightstand. That way you have exactly the same positioning without having to measure at all. As Chris Schwarz said on the Woodwright's Shop "Measurement is the enemy of accuracy..."

Lol... I had just watched Glenn's build on my pc before dinner. I wanted to show my wife, so I went to look it up on my phone so I could cast it to our TV downstairs. I came across yours instead. I think between your video and Glenn's, I should have enough info to attempt this project. We've been wanting to do a murphy bed for some time, and I think these two videos are the best I've seen, and I've been looking around quite a bit!

Thank you for making this video. A large effort and you nailed it. I'm inspired to use a design similar to this in a motorhome we plan to buy and live in. Will probably have it designed and built by a carpenter shop or motorhome refitter but your video is a great concept piece to start from as well as a jump start for the carpenter we get to do it. All the best.

Hey Justin, nice build on the Murphy bed i also watched that video of Glens a while ago ad liked the build i have a couple of tip fo you too i was a professional Woodworker for over 20 years as well as it being a passion and my hobby so i saw a couple of things that i thought will make you life easier and perhaps safer if you built yourself 2 plywood boxes simple pocket screw construction to hold your mitre saw and table saw off the floor you can stand and use them instead of kneeling or leaning over them on the floor that not only makes it. Easier on your back but it gives you a way better position to “site” your cuts and or move out of the way for a kickback or some other harmful possibility it also keeps your face and mostly eyes in a much safer position one other thing that you would be amazed at is to replace your air hose with a silicone one from Home Depot. Or Amazon so that you aren’t constantly fighting the springing Of the coil hose those are excellent in the right application but. You will find its so much better having just a plain hose get one like a 50 footer and you could trim out a house or whatever without. Needing to move the compressor so much plus ive seen guys put so. Much tension on the coil ones they get the nail gun flying out of their hands oh and be extra careful when having the lumberyard or box store cutting your material because their saws are very often badly calibrated and /or the person doing the cutting just doesn’t give a crap i know we use the service to make it easier to haul or recut when we get it to our shop etc if you want to get fancy on your saw cabinets you could add doors and drawers and even add lockable casters to move them around ? The height is really up to whatever you feel comfortable and safe at 34 inches off the floor is a standard countertop height that the majority of kitchen counters and work stations are usually set at overall i was pretty impressed with your build most guys using pocket. Screw construction mess up a couple of parts in the first few builds or simply forget a side you look like you have a natural talent on seeing the project thru all of the steps one more tid bit is Woodworking i general is all about repetitive joinery and construction if you take the time to analyze your completed project and figure out what you can do the next time to possibly correct them or minimize at least you wi progress very quickly dont bash yourself and keep in mind you should be doing it as a hobby for enjoyment because you Ike it not very many people can sa they. Slept in a bed that they knew who built it so thats kind of cool I slept and my children slept in beds i made for all of us my son had a set of bunk beds that the top bunk had a electric garage door opener attached to it to open and close mine had enough storage under it to hide and store all my Holiday decorations And a 12 gauge shotgun ! That most people didnt realize was there but i could easily access my next design has hand gun storage !

Nice job! Pro Tip: When you're cutting through a board, don't support it on both sides of the cut. (1:27) The board will flex, pinching the blade. This causes burning of your stock and increases the likelihood of a kickback. For better and safer results, let the piece you're cutting off fall to the floor.
@donmiller4501
@donmiller4501 6 жыл бұрын
@themonkeydrunken Was wondering how you protect from the weight of the board cracking off before you get to the end of the cut if you don't support both sides.
@themonkeydrunken
@themonkeydrunken 6 жыл бұрын
Good question. If the piece is narrow enough to go on the miter saw, that's ideal. But if it's too wide, or the miter saw isn't handy, I'll usually hold that piece with my left hand while operating the saw with my right. (Make sure no fingers are in the path of the saw! Your hand should be about a foot away from the blade.) Holding it by hand allows you to support it just right - not too high so it binds, not to low so it cracks off. Really just taking a bit of the weight out of the equation. Practice on a couple of scrap boards, and I bet you'll get a feel for it right away.

I have height adjustable stands with a "L" that leans away a bit that the wood falls onto. Best way is to get the long side of the "L" (which is horizontal) level with the surface your stock is being clamped to, then it just kind of tips out. I am thinking of making this a permanent, fixed part of the bench but I have the stands and I a lazy ass.

Brad R, you're right, a miter saw does support both sides, but it works out because the board can't flex and pinch the blade.

Have to admit you did a great job and did it without any expensive tools and made it on a budget. The only thing I would do different is to put 2 supports or a longer piece to support the side that you cut that falls off. This prevents the wood cutoff piece from scarring when it falls off so you can save for another project possibly. Love the blooper clips. I usually measure 3 times and cut once. lol Other than that nice job!

I was taught old-school methods by my dad and spent a lot of time doing dowel joinery. I do have a small biscuit joiner, but haven’t used it much. It just doesn’t seem as sturdy as dowelled and glued construction.
