What happens here

Begin by building the base frame of the bed. Measure and cut two 2x4 studs to a length of 55 inches for the width of the frame. Then, measure and cut two more 2x4 studs to a length of 71 inches for the length of the frame. This length accounts for the thickness of the 55-inch pieces (74 inches total length - 2 * 1.5 inch thickness of 2x4s = 71 inches). These measurements will result in a frame that is 55 inches wide by 74 inches long.

Goal: Prepare the wooden components for the bed frame

Tools and materials

  • Miter Saw Ridgid — Cutting the 2x4 studs to length
  • Safety Glasses — Protecting eyes during cutting
  • Tape Measure — Measuring the length of the studs
  • 2x4 Studs — Forming the main bed frame structure

so we're starting this project off by just building the frame underneath and the frame is out of two by fours the one by eights go over the top that's our platform so we measured it out our frame is actually going to be 55 inches wide by 74 inches long so we're making those cuts and we're going to screw that together [Music] [Applause]
