Published 2020-08-06
This week I’m building a Bedroom in a wall. This includes a Murphy bed, integrated bedside table, LED Lighting fixtures, USB outlets, and more. This was a challenging project, but well worth the effort. If you are looking to build a built-in there are a lot of tips and tricks in this video that'll help out!
Enjoy,
-Michael

Man, this REALLY gives me some appreciation for how much work a project like this takes. It looks so clean and simple when you're done, but DAMN that's some attention to detail!
-
I always used to think those types of beds looked horrible when upright. But that looks genuinely luxurious. Space-saving architecture is always so impressive.
-
My Dad was a Master Carpenter in England, and he used to call that piece of lumber that you used to hold up the soffit when you were working alone, "The Carpenter's Helper." Nice to see that quality craftsmanship is still around!
-
Michael- Hi again ! - A quick comment: The Narration overlay is PERFECT in that it helps to communicate planning, reasons for choices, and thoughts as the build progresses. Something like this really separates the amateurs from those who really understand the importance of communication to the success of those wanting to really understand their (your) work. Thanks ! - C.

I'm so glad this project looks complicated and difficult. Custom murphy beds are no joke.
-
You are a true craftsman. That’s awesome, well done.
-
Absolutely fantastic build. Anyone would be proud to have this in their spare room.
-
What a sense of accomplishment you must get after each job. Part mathematics, part artwork. I’m envious of your talent.
-
I can’t understand why would anyone dislike this video! It was well shot, the build was breathtaking and the end result beautiful. Well done man
-
Great to wake up, relax , have coffee and watch this beautiful bed build, instead of watching and reading all the bad news that’s going in the world. Thank you 😊
-
I’ve been looking at built ins like this for a long time. This is by far the best I have found! Very well done! Great idea cutting the main pieces out in your shop!
-
Quick suggestion: put the ceiling board up first, make it go to the frame, then cut the sides panels short and use them as a backup weight distribution system. As a contractor we always put up ceilings before walls.
-
Honestly. A solid video of craftsmanship, articulated clearly, and creative. Keep it up
-
Now I know why Murphy beds are so expensive. Impressive!
-
I have been looking for a good guest bedroom solution and watch tons of your other videos. This is perfect! Absolutely love everything you do. Thank you for walking the rest of the world through how to do what you do.
-
Great work. It's nice to see someone that takes pride in their work is detail oriented and doesn't just throw things together.
-
You, my friend are a true artisan .... I have never seen such perfection in a job, nor a more engaging vid and I have a very short attention span! .... as a DIY guy, totally inspirational ... well done!
-
I watched this at 3 am in the middle of a panic attack, it helped a lot. Thank you for the length and calming tone.
-
A perfect addition for either a guest bedroom from an office/study or a studio apartment. Thanks for your clear video and verbal description.
-
It's very relaxing to watch you work, I love that walnut wood. That would be a great idea to have in hotel bedrooms to change them to meeting rooms.
