I built this unique metal and wood bed frame for a client and it was a nightmare. The headboard and footboard turned out great, but I made way to many mistakes. None the less it was a great build and I learned a lot.

One of the things I really like about your videos is at the end when you show where your project is going to live. Seeing it completed and in situ is so satisfying.

I absolutely love that table. It's amazing what professional equipment will do for ya in terms of efficiency and simplicity. Vitally important when you charge by the job instead of an hourly rate.

Thanks for your honesty. Although you didn't believe it, but you are an excellent presenter. That is what people want... honesty and truth. Somebody with your skill level and admitting mistakes... shows your great personality.

You should see my first work bench, my Dad laughed his butt off when he looked at it, I only moved it once and that was with his wrecker boom. After that I engraved each corner and cut it apart and reassembled with half of the metal and still needed a cherry picker to place it where I wanted it. I love your overkill. Great job Jimbo.

I love the frame. I go overkill on all the things I build so even though it may seem like "too much" I promise it's better than not enough. Nothing you build will fall apart like furniture from Walmart and that "overbuilt" quality is exactly what most people want from a hand made product. Keep doing great things Jimbo! P.S. I'm extremely jealous of your table.

Great job Jimbo iknow about those mistakes they happen i use to build proto type machines for a company but in fabercation it takes time and we can fix our mistakes. That is a realy nice bed

Here in my country we have a saying, "the only people who do not make mistakes are the ones who do nothing. All you have done is proved you are only human. I'm glad you left the parts were you made the mistakes as it not only shows your human but also gives other people knowledge that mistakes happen and they can be fixed. Another great project.

Because the majority of buyers today have no appreciation for quality. In a 'Rooms To Go' and Amazon world, people want a king sized bed for $200 and want it in two days. They also redecorate every couple years which makes sinking money into quality furniture counter-productive in their way of thinking.

@vladimirdivis9638 4 жыл бұрын

I was asked to make a bed frame couple days ago and I refused to do it just because I know the buyer would not appreciate my time spent on it welding cutting and fabricating. I sent him to supermarket to buy one for 100euros

1st of all, great looking bed. Loved your video. Had me a good couple of chuckles. This is a great tutorial on how to build and troubleshoot problems that arise. Great video.

@FamilyManMoving 4 жыл бұрын

Very nice build. An old furniture-maker's trick: use a paint scraper to pull off firmed-up glue on panels before the glue sets solid. That eliminates nearly all surface glue and saves the effort and cost of using a belt sander. The trick is to scrape when the glue is firm and pliable, but not overly wet. Too wet and it just scrapes the glue into the wood pores, which can mess up a finish. Saves a bunch of time and usually I can skip the belt sander altogether. Also, your shop is a masterpiece. Subscribed. Thank you.

Love the discussion - your words make it a REAL project. p.s. my father in law put together a bed for his daughter (my wife) and never contemplated it being taken apart. Built in the bedroom - had to saw it apart. Too bad, had nice drawers on the bottom....

@baileysavage8697 4 жыл бұрын

Jimbo, The final result came out great! Next time you need a "brushed" finish look try a backer pad and sandpaper discs on your grinder. That method is commonly used in the stainless steel industry with varying grits.

To aid in reassembly, you can use a numbered punch or even weld on a mark or dots (. . .. .. ... ... for example) and mark the pieces with their corresponding corner they slot into. Also, for your tab and slot setup, maybe next time try a more simple T and matching slot (looking down from above) with a bottom stop in the receiving part to set height. Great build and I really appreciate you showing all the mistakes, it's very refreshing to see!

Jimbo your an amzing fabricator. Love your work. Thats an awesome bed frame you built. As far as your scatch bright idea that was a good call. Eastwood makes a tool or sells one that makes the scotch bright grain look you wanted i can't remember the name right off but should look into it. Im sure someone here will tell you the name of the tool. But its more less scotch bright in form of a small roller. Again great job on the bed frame and i find you to be an inspiration for fabricating 👍

The reason for not sanding wood higher than 220 grit is for finish. The finer you sand, the more the pores of the wood close and wont take the stain or any finish. And general finishes is one of the absolute best companies for finish. Its all I use in my furniture shop. Good job on the build.
