Today on Modern Builds I'm going to show you How To Build a Modern Platform Bed completely out of 2x4 construction lumber. This project was a lot of work, but super worth it.

MODERN BUILDS

Hi, My name is Mike Montgomery and I'm a MAKER; a designer, builder, and full-time content creator. Accessibility is my focus with Modern Builds, not simply accessibility of designs, but accessibility in materials, information, and projects themselves. I've focused on creating furniture and DIY projects that are simple enough that any beginner maker can accomplish, yet interesting enough that any expert might be inspired. Building and making is becoming less and less of an exclusive hobby and profession. My goal is to reduce that separation even further.

So I ran the numbers....  35 2x4's at $7 costs $245 35 2x4's at $3.50 (normal price) costs $122,50 Double the normal price, but for $250 I'd say this bed is worth it!

The first half of the youtube.com/post/Ugkx3ICSK6nSknaL_45CU2NmFSoXjarGM… book is everything about wood: types, tools, finishes, setting up shop etc. The second half is all about doing projects for inside and outside of the home. The color pictures are helpful. After reading a dozen of these types of books, this is probably the best overall (layout, color photos, plans). Only detraction is that many of the projects use a table saw/router/planer, which are usually expensive and take up space, so the plans are less friendly to newcomers and the budget conscious. But I know I can use a drill, circular saw or a jigsaw to make the projects.

That’s a really great build. I used the same concept to do the front of my porch. Halfway into it, I began to question my choices. It seemed like I had to use way more lumber than I should have. And I began to regret it, especially when it came to painting it. Now, I know it was all worth it. I get tons of compliments and people say it looks very modern. Thanks for sharing!

I loveeee the 2x4 furniture concept/abstraction as well & love this bed sm! I use wood pallets I find… made a veggie/fruit garden along the wall of my home & couldn’t be happier with it! I’m looking to make an extra large sectional couch with wide chase lounges on each end that can be slept on & planning on sectional pieces that can convert into cots for guests & another part of it will be a bed for me!!! My kids are young adults & out of the house now so I’m downsizing to a studio but want to always have places for them to sleep they visit (& grandkids if that becomes a thing) 😊

I wanted a cheaper approach, so I made mine from gold bricks.

2x4 projects are awesome, i just made an outdoor sofa out of 2x4s :) you are an inspiration mike!

Super sturdy and worth $250, but an amazing deal once 2x4's drop back down to around $4/each. Keep up the great work as the goal is for us to continue to inspire others to build something awesome!

The slatted headboard going wider than the mattress opens up some interesting possibilities. You could build some movable shelves or drawers that slot into the slats.

Love it. My only note would be that it's impossible to move out of that room. Some modularity in the base might make it a little more "move" friendly. Perhaps have the base separate into thirds rather than a single piece.

Love the simplistic style (way beyond my ability) and the finished product was perfect.Thanks for the lesson. 100 %

Looks great! It might also look good by cutting a tapered edge on each of the headboard 2x4s, so the edge arcs out from the wall,

Love the design and I can appreciate the time and effort put into this project. I wish there was a simpler way to achieve this look. I love the headboard but so much work went into the base. 😩❤️

Looks like a piano bed! Switch up the color for pianists- even use contact paper for temporary look to surprise someone. I love it!

This is a really great design! I will be definitely using this method to build beds in the future for my family, but I'll also make some adjustments to the bed for the room that I would be working in, just to give it that design look. Great video, definitely subscribing
