In this video, I take on among my most significant woodworking tasks yet– developing a massive, custom-made walnut bed. I'm stepping it up from the normal 3/4 inch material, working with thick walnut boards that'll check the limitations of my tools (and muscles). This bed is not simply functional– it's going to be the anchor of the room.

Ive been watching since the basement workshop days. I really miss the humor/comedy that used to be in all your videos, that was the main reason I watched your videos.
Agree! His comedy was fun.
He’s trying to redefine himself and grow into what he always wanted to become. An artist who works with wood. That being said, I was thinking the exact same thing this morning. I find myself tempted away from the video by shorts because the humor isn’t there. Also, shorts weren’t at the bottom years ago to tempt me. And i think I’ve been reprogrammed a bit by the urge to scroll and binge.
Love the build. So many double entendres, small head, thick and beefy, just like your mother 😄
Really love your work David 🔥👏
Thanks for REMembering to include the sanding song.
Dave, I am really enjoying your new format. But, quite frankly, I also enjoyed your original style. Question: while drilling the lone hole through the board sides, could you not have drilled the forstner hole first then the smaller hole. Is there a benefit to using/building jigs for this?
I have missed sand in the place where you live! It brought a huge smile to my face. Oh. The bed looks great too.
I made a bed years ago. I didn’t put in a central support. I made the slats (3/4 pine) into T sections by attaching a vertical strip to each slat about 1 inch deep. I works perfectly. It’s withstood twenty five years of hard use with no issues.
24 years of ” hard use”. What a brag!
I’ve seen a lot of bed builds lately on YouTube. And yours arguably is the best. I like how you share your feelings about being angry. Because we have all been there. I can’t remember a single project where there is some flaw that I have made. It’s what I think about when I look at the piece. But nobody else sees. Keep up the great work man! And thanks for all the videos.
“I can’t make one thing without a mistake!” God, this statement coming from you gives me so much validity. That one phrase has been uttered so many times throughout my projects, it basically lives rent free in my head.
Damn can I relate 🤣😂🤣!!!
I can relate to so much in this video. The bed looks great, with the tapered legs adding a subtle bit of visual interest. Can’t wait to see what you do with the headboard. As for your back catalog having something for everybody, I must be everybody, because I’ve been enjoying the ride for a long time. Thanks for all of it.
Beautiful work on making that bed David. Looking forward to that headboard build. Making mistakes is what makes us better woodworkers in the long run! No harm, no foul! 👍👍🔨🔨
Sand! Woohoo!
I feel the anger here before the ad. I’ve been there and also been blind because of it. Solidarity ✊
This was a fun video! The hard work pays off once you can stand back and see it
I try my hardest to subscribe to Bob Ross’ “Happy little accidents” philosophy, but I have to admit that I’m also more of a “I can’t have one project without a mistake?🤬” kind of person too
Thanks for highlighting The Creative Act. I did end up getting it I honestly needed this book it’s almost therapeutic.
“4 or 5 people, maybe more..” 😂😂😂 great vid!
And here I was, yelling at the TV, “David, dude, all you have to do is flip that piece instead of re-drilling those holes.”
Beautiful bed! When I built my solid hickory bathroom vanity I broke over ten screws trying to add the bottom (the only part I was screwing together incase of water damage but obviously there are much better ways to add a bottom 🤦🏻♀️). Hickory is so dense, very difficult to tool but man is it gorgeous (the more character, knot holes, defects, grain striations the better) but that hickory broke off drill bits and screws galore. Use stainless steal only, use wax and go very slow!!!
Don’t beat yourself up on the hardware flip, I think we’ve all done that at some point. Excellent build, none the less!
Good on you for the sponsor, David. As a therapist full time & weekend woodworker, i’m here for it.
Also yeah, bed builds are so big. When i made my last one, i ended up having to relearn a lot of hand tool skills because i was beyond the capacity of most of my power tools.
I like that you make mistakes. Makes it real. Honest. Cool.
