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.

I read a comment once not long ago that suggests, even if you are a hobby woodworker, the high end tools are worth it. The reason being, if you are a hobby woodworker, mostly like is because you just have less time. If you have less time then the better more efficient tools makes the most of that limited time and you get a lot more pleasure during that time enjoying your hobby. I decided to get the cheapest tools to start to get a feel of things. I am leaning to agree with the idea that the better the tools you have the better time of it you will have. I feel I have got the full set of cheap tools at this point and from this point forward I will get the best I can get. Lovely build btw, your work is always evolving and wonderful.

Yeah. Totally makes sense, but to each their own. I started off with all ryobi tools and cheap Amazon finds… and as I progressed I got better tools.

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 🙂

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.

@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.

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.

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.

Beautiful build, and that dowel trick is genius! Woodworkers source is the bomb. I'm fortunate to live near one of their warehouses and the folks there are so nice and helpful. I understand both sides of the domino thing. I don't think the people who are disdainful of the tool are necessarily envious or anything. It's more about the fact that dominos are so effective at a lot of things that they take a lot of the problem solving out of woodworking. Dominos eliminate M&Ts, dowels, biscuits, and a myriad of other joinery tricks. This is great for productivity, but it does put some distance between yourself and your audience, because the folks at home are solving a host of other woodworking issues that you simply don't have. Similar thing with the Origin or with a CNC. There's nothing wrong with using them, but I learned a lot more watching Mike Farington's tricks for using a router and hand tools to cut dovetails by hand than I've learned watching other people use CNCs to make similar joints. Again, there's nothing wrong with the tools, rock what you got. In my opinion it makes the content a bit less entertaining/informative, but you've got enough other stuff going that I'll still be watching.
