Bed frame

>>1083931
We don't welcome unskilled and unresourced cunts who can't google their own shit and come here and expect us to teach you magic. Sleep on the floor so you don't have to worry about it breaking.

Futons work nicely, are comfy to fuck on, and avoid the whole stupid elevated bed frame thing.

You could sew or have sewn suitably weebish covers.

Matthias, your autistic uncle, has a video showing how to make a bomb-proof bed frame using dimensional lumber from the hardware store.

how fat are you and your girlfriend that you can't sleep in the same bed

4x4 posts connected with 2x6s, side supports from 2x2s, with 1x3 lats

not very complicated

Not fat, my bed is really more of a cot rn. Not enough space for two people unless you're literally on top of each other. Which is only a problem for actual sleep.

I figured as much, then i remembered the whole "weight distribution" stuff, n i was worried that would somehow apply to furniture.

I'm sorry, i thought people on here knew enough to explain the basics, or point me to a guide that explains the basic principles without saying "just build this". And while I'm sure there are, it's a shame you're not one of them.

constructed with the proper materials, it should not be a problem

We build frames all the time at work, basically two boards either side and a bunch of slats evenly spaced with an X underneath to help support weight.
honestly not extremely difficult since the apprentices do it.

Is there any type of wood or something i should NOT use? Or does basically any kind work? I think around where I live people mostly sell cedar, maybe pine? but there is a specialized woodworking lumber store that has everything, so i have lots of options. What would you recommend?

one that doesnt pitch resin through time, which will get sticky

i build my frame when i was 16 using walnut, still using it ~10years later

and i wouldnt make it closed to the ground, leave some vents for air circulation

We're sorry, we thought you'd know enough to use google.

The other anon who posted about Matthias' bed frame is right.

it's basic, it's cheap, and he shows you how to fucking put it together. Modify it to be more or less ornate to your tastes/capabilities/tools

depends on what you want to spend

pine is fine

Is walnut easy to work on? I know it's just wood, but a drill is basically the extent of my power tools.
The specialty store has pretty much every kind, and while mahogany is probably out of my price range, i would like to use some nice wood.

You need the tools to dimension the lumber or else it's going to look no better than if you just bought a bunch of 2x4s and nailed it together.

The minimum for this is a table saw, a jointer, and a planer. This typically entails thousands of dollars and a minimum of a 1-car garage worth of space.

>>1084638
Can i now just saw it by hand for the hours that would require?

Not sure how to deal with the lack of planner (i googled what it was), but I'm sure there's some kind of tool for that.

Not*
I can't spell.

>but I'm sure there's some kind of tool for that
there is, a planer

buy dimensional pine for most of the frame, if you want something better for the parts that will show, buy more dimensional whatever

the cost and effort of using rough sawn material would far exceed what it would cost to just go buy a pre-made frame

>However I'm worried I'll make a bed that won't be solid enough to hold 2 people.

Once i built a California king and was afraid of the support in the middle, insolved making 4 "tables", the strongest part of the bed was in the middle, super easy to disassemby, store and move.
