Those dowels were seriously one of your best tips yet. In the past, I've solved similar problems by either using metal threaded inserts (and hardening the surrounding grain with thin CA), or going through the enormous effort of cutting in a bridle joint. This is so much simpler, just as effective, and can be done with a blind hole for an invisible result. Not only that, but they'd work well in a repair. Keep up the great work.

So glad you like it! I knew it needed to be solved when the feet on the center supper rail broke on the first bed I built…

I’ve been woodworking for over 40 years and once again I learned something from you Tamar: that dowel idea for screwing into cross grain instead of end grain is absolutely brilliant! Also, I have been loving how nice your trim router base is working for me. It has made my little colt router my favorite. You are awesome kiddo!

It’s a weird thing. It’s like watching a cooking show and the chef has a $10k oven and you think… I can’t make that bc I don’t have that oven… well… you do have AN oven… or a stove… or a grill… or a firepit outside… 😂😂😂 So yeah, I don’t get it either, but the comments definitely roll in as soon as I use it!

That is one of the nicest beds I have ever seen - I love all the angles you incorporated, and the genius way you spaced out the headboard slats to allow for expansion - brilliant. Congrats on the build and the new shop. I built a bed for my daughter out of mostly yellow birch last fall and used the same Rockler bed rail fasteners, and very happy with them. My favorite part of the video was you explaining why 0.5 mm matters. "You don't care but I care." Spoken like a true woodworker 🙂

@3x3CustomTamar Жыл бұрын

Thanks so much! This hardware is the best… Funny story, while assembling in his room I had that red triangle to make sure the side rails were square… he then took the square and started checking all the corners in our new house… he was shocked that they didn’t build our house perfectly square! That’s when I had to explain the difference between a woodworker and a carpenter 😂

Glad to see you using your Domino. I love mine and recently bought the trim stop, so I could use it for repetitive cuts in narrow pieces and it worked perfectly! It took me about three years to convince myself that I needed a Domino, having tried several other methods in the meantime with various degrees of success and failure. The cost was a big hurdle or so I thought, but in the end a dealer sold me a new one for less than used ones were selling on Ebay. It is a great machine and now something I use all the time.

I remember my woodshop teacher in 9th grade teaching us about using stop blocks on the tablesaw to avoid kickouts. (props to Mr. Rizor!) Of course someone proved this later in the year taking a big piece of plywood to the abdomen from a kickout.

I am a maker through and through- made my son's dresser while 8 months pregnant (do not recommend :) ) and it's been tough having less "making" time. So- thank you!

@3x3CustomTamar Жыл бұрын

It was so hard for me to find time when the kids were little, I only started taking this seriously when my youngest went to kindergarten… building a dresser 8 months pregnant is pretty badass 🤘

@lizcademy4809 Жыл бұрын

Late reply ... I had more Maker time when my first was a baby than when she was mobile ... but she started walking at 8 months, so my time was short. One thing you can do is switch between hobbies. Little kids do not belong in the wood shop, but they're safe around sewing, knitting, making chain mail, cosmetic formulation (not soap) ... these are some of the artisan crafts I rotated through. Or go in a different direction and learn CAD software or building web pages. Also, many home maintenance things can be done around kids. I painted my house with my 5 year old son "helping". [He's a very calm person.] I assembled Ikea furniture around them. I even bought Shaker chair kits to assemble, finish and weave seats. You can't stop a True Maker.

@davidnyeste7282 Жыл бұрын

This video is perfect for me as I'm in the design process of building my own bed. The free-floating shelves are a great idea (1 that I will be incorporating into my design as 1 side of the bed isn't big enough to have a bed side unit). The bed rail hardware looks like a great idea, here in the UK most wooden beds require assembly with long carriage style bolts through the end grain which puts a lot of pressure on the wood itself and using the dowel to drill into is a great little idea.

@mark2talk2u Жыл бұрын

Great video. One idea: I mark the inside rail every foot. The marks help ensure the slats remain parallel and at right angles to the stretchers. One more idea: IKEA sells bed slats for different mattress sizes. I think they are called Luroy and cost only $30. That’s cheaper than buying slat wood. The IKEA slats work very well. One spacer on each end (four in total) is all it takes to use these slats since they are attached with a semi-stretchy material.
