I think that I hate this video as much as the other one. It has aggravating music, but she keeps talking, so I cannot just mute it. She uses doorstops as legs, which don't seem like they would hold, and they are not quite long enough. Instead of installing one or more slide bolts or drilling holes to slide bolts to secure the bed she cuts pieces of leather, except it clearly isn't leather, loops it, nails it to the underside, and uses that to secure the door stops.
It is not leather. It is not going to hold.
The nails could come out.
She supposedly based this on something she found, except allegedly she could only find one picture, without any information.
However, she did not share the picture, not directly, she shared a picture that she took, probably with her phone, which looked like garbage.
Here is the real one:
This is the post that I found about it:
Ikea hack! Side murphy bed / dog bed…again?!
They found
this $100 39x93 Ikea cabinet, for some reason marked down to $49, cut a piece of plywood, nailed trim to the front, attached it with a piano hinge, installed a slide bolt, and nobody worries about having a 24" top less than 36" above a mattress that is only 38" wide, probably because this is a bed for dogs.
This lady bought a twin frame off of Craigslist, turned it on its side, and did unspeakable things to it:
Lowe's made a video last year similar to one that Bob of I Like to Make Stuff made recently, but it wasn't a long ad for a Murphy bed hardware supplier [with free hardware provided by the company]. They screwed flange ends to the end of the frame, drilled holes in the frame, screwed in small sections of pipe, and then screwed caps onto the ends.
They cut pieces of trim to fit over the gap and secured it with velco.
My favorite part was when she said "You probably covered up an electrical outlet, which isn't code, so you need to create an access panel:
DIY Murphy bunk bed! I would try to figure out how to do this in the shed so my niece and nephews could sleep there, but the side walls are only about 50" tall.
I could make a twin Murphy bed that folds into the wall and another that folds into the ceiling.
I could put a Queen or full on one side and a twin as high as possible on the other.
We will see if my sister ever visits again, though.
This is the hardware they used:
They epoxied flange bearing into each pivot point and installed cap bolts with coupling nuts with thread locker.
