Thanks. Admittedly overbuilt. Stacked ply is beastly strong

I could stand to lose 20 pounds. I'm 6'5" and barrel chested. even at my peak I'm a bear. It's not the weight that counts. It's how hard your thrusting that determines your needs. Its diy laminated ply. The outer rails have a 2x6 core to provide better bite for the accessories mounts.

Was at a rental. We bought our first house 2 months after that photo. The break down design made moving it a breeze

Total out of pocket was 790-ish. Good luck finding a bed that will outlast you at rooms to go for the same or less. As for "extra usefullness" I've been over it a few times so look through the archives like other anon said.

>So build it higher. Problem solving capabilities, anon, you seem to lack them.

Indeed. I chose this specific height for fun time with the misses, butvthere is nothing stopping a taller version.

The supports double as mounting points for various hardware.

Not even a single flex pop. All the sliding joints are waxed to hell so they are buttery smooth.

>real furniture makers utilize less is more
Why is everyone determined to do the bare minimum? If it were for profit I could maybe partially agree, but I built this for me, so why not have fun with it and throw in a bit extra?

Headboard is included, just haven't finished it. Yea home depot ply is shitty and over priced for what it is, but that's been my only option until recently. And learning what I did, I'm glad I used sub par wood on the first one, so I know what to look forward to with the good stuff. I dont feel like I got ripped off, simply because the frame is massive. There's more heft there then realistically required by a bed frame, but it was my choice to overbuild. Also, remember that a lot of the added cost came from being selective with my cutting to largely avoid knots in the pine, and to line up some decent grain on the outside faces of the beams. Even further, I should note that the budget includes 122 threaded inserts, 15 feet of nylon ridged tubing, and all the electrical components for the headboard. The materials might not have been ideal, but for a first try, I feel like I'm getting way more bed than I would have were I to shop rooms to go or something.

Proly gonna end up just south of a grand. But that includes all the material I have left for the headboard and other accessories, along with all the hidden hardware for the fun bits.

Not sure I understand what your saying. This isn't a table.

Anyway. Just finished the frame. Here's a shot of the inserts before I put them in
