What happens here

Construct the daybed frame using 2x4 lumber. Frame it out with additional 2x4 'cat' pieces underneath, secured with structural screws, to ensure it can hold significant weight. Wrap the perimeter of the bed with 7 1/4 inch composite 'Kaya boards' to create a finished edge. Use a pocket hole jig and pocket screws on the mitered joints to prevent the short points from opening up, and apply glue and accelerator for added strength.

Goal: Build a strong, lightweight frame for the hanging daybed, ready for suspension.

So here is the frame for the bed. This is what's gonna be hanging in the air And you can see we just build it with two by four framed it out and It's gonna be holding a lot of weight A lot of people might be sitting on this thing. So We put this cat underneath structural screws into each piece. So it's really nice and stiff now and I think it's gonna support this really well I'd sit on it lay on it both my whole family We hit a hundred thousand subscribers today what what what what yeah Did you get your plaque? No, not yet. When do you get it? I don't know Can I take a picture with it? Yeah, I'm so excited It's a lot of eyes. It's two hundred thousand eyes on us The reason why I wanted to pocket screw this I'm never too worried about my long points because Everybody puts that directional screw through the edge keep that tight I'm more worried about my short point opening up. So that's why I have those three pocket screws right there The hold that short one That's a nice spider. I don't know my glasses or some of that to say
