In this video I share how I built a queen sized white oak bed frame. This was one of a couple of these bed frames I have made over the past few months. The dowel joinery has proven to be very strong and the metal hardware makes disassembly and moving this bed frame simple and easy. While not shown, this bed frame has a fifth foot in the middle of the bed (middle of the central support beam). I have also started adding 3mm felt on the side rails and central support to help cushion where the bed slats sit.

Thanks or watching!

    Great video, loved seeing your process and the results. Absolutely beautiful work!
  • What a beautiful bed. A lot of woodworkers who are picking up the hobby get disheartened by not owning a table saw. You showed them that although the work would be a lot easier. There are other ways to get things done. I respect that. I’m my experience I’ve had a head board split because of wood movement. I had used dominos instead of dowels but the same theory applies. I would suggest what I’ve done to fix that issue. Secure it using dados cut from router. Use dowels on the top plank only and left the middle and bottom plank float freely. But hey, if it works. It works. You might not even experience this. But it’s good to know a work around I guess
  • Good workmanship, good video quality, and good results. Cannot ask for anything else. I get the impression that you would enjoy working with more hand tools. Have your thought about adding some planes or spoke shaves to your tools in the future. A small lottery win should give you all you need. A good woodworker to check out on what you need would be Rob Cosman on which ones to start out with.
