Green chef is awsome since I am out in the field working on houses and my wife being a High School English teacher is worn out in a different way. Meals are well planned and come together quickly. For some reason I can't straight comment, but as usual you ROCK! Love all your videos! A thought....I kinda wish you to slow down and show use on tools etc such as domino but understan since this is a huge project and lengthy. Also waiting for new videos. Top fan.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

@@soulehawk yeah! It really is awesome! I’m still learning the domino, but I probably will do a more detailed video on it once I get better with it. I like to do separate videos with those sorts of details or this build projects get too lengthy

[@YesOoko]

WHY do some ppl like these DIY projects all the time when you can easily hire a workman at a small fee-saves time and money-no need to be greedy and not support trades men

[@yahyayassin5903]

[@0whitestone]

Holy cow, that was so complex compared to your other beds. It turned out AMAZING! I love that you tackled 3 completely different bed designs, too. You really go full send on each one, doing completely different designs and ideas. You don't just stick to what you know. Truly inspirational for up and coming wood workers ❤️

[@3x3CustomTamar]

My husband also noted that each bed matches each kid’s personality 😂

[@pretenda]

Always a good day when a new 3x3 video comes out!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Awesome to hear! Hope you liked it!

[@patrickschardt7724]

Facts

[@BBQ1953]

Tamar - your candid assessment of your work, along with your willingness to share the mistakes and near mistakes gives me hope in my own journey as a wood worker because: Your work is beautiful. Thank you for sharing your efforts with the rest of us.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Glad it all helps! We all have those days. Ha

[@campbelldaniel58]

I’ve watched you go from 10k subs to 750k subs and you deserve every bit of it. Wonderful work, great work ethic, and always an interesting project…. Not to mention that nearly every project is in service of you own home/family. Keep it up. 🙏

[@3x3CustomTamar]

It’s really cool that I get to have a job where I make furniture for my family. ☺️

[@Lumbeelegend]

I loved that you showed your mistakes and thought process to fix them. I don't feel so alone compared to these other woodworkers, lol. Beautiful design and execution. Hopefully I'll be as competent one day. Thank you!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

We all make mistakes… it’s all in how you fix them!

[@billhirth4487]

Thank you for leaving in your mistakes. Knowing that somebody as good as you makes the same type of mistakes that I make, makes me feel better about when I make those mistakes.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

We all make mistakes like that! As you get better you just learn how to fix them. Ha

[@cheeseheadfiddle]

I was once a young boy with a mom who was an ace with a table saw. Her shop wasn’t nearly as well fitted out as yours. But her mentorship with my interest in woodworking was so important for me. She taught me plenty about wood and tool use, and also taught me to not be an obnoxious male know-it-all when brilliant women can show me how much I have to learn. I wish you were my next door neighbor. I’d be looking over your shoulder all the time. You’d probably get tired of that. Great teaching.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

That’s awesome. My kids only like to help once all the pieces are prepared… maybe one day they’ll want to get involved in all the hard work that leads up to that point. Ha

[@MrKenetikdezine]

Absolutely fantastic! Everyday we become better then the day before. Love watching your videos!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks so much! Looking forward to what the future will bring!

[@GETCRUNK1318]

Tamar, you're our hero

[@3x3CustomTamar]

😊😊

[@busomite]

Another amazing build! Your son must love this, it’s beautiful and custom and functional.

[@ImolaS3]

great project and good to see you back on youtube recently

[@peterquailman2460]

For me, the best bed design. I super love floating beds. Just like toe kicks for cabinets, I feel more comfortable having not to worry about toes getting hit by furniture feet. And cleaning, yes! Vacuuming under the bed feels more satisfying without having to deal with unnecessary obstruction. Plus, it's way cleaner looking. Sooo love this build!. . .I think imma make one?. . .lol Keep it up, stay safe always, and God bless, Tamar!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Yeah! I am already loving the ease of vacuuming portion!

[@Codger2015]

Awesome woodworking techniques. Love watching you work. Just discovered your channel today, 4 November 2023. I am a past woodworker. Sold out my shop and moved out of America to retire in the Czech Republic. Over here I do not have the ability to have a shop, so watching woodworking is the next best thing, especially watching individuals who give a hoot about accuracy.

[@draginator6]

Glad to see youtube is finally recommending me your videos again after your break, time to catch up on the two I missed! One thing I took away from this build was how good the side tables looked next to the bed with the oversized headboard, they fit so well there like they were part of the bed without actually being attached. I've only ever thought of making headboards as wide as the bed so that detail is really expanding my thinking.

[@CodeBadger-xh6xg]

Really nice project and fantastic recovery with the dado mistake.

[@alancook1380]

Every child should be so fortunate. Nicely done.

[@codewithharris]

You're hardworking and smart 🤓.

[@KnottenWood]

Also, whatever meal you cooked, looked awesome!!

[@patrickjack2943]

Supergood one, thanks. Shop looks great, can see your work flow joy, much efficiency!

[@jackknows6509]

Tamar, I think you "dominoed" it all the ay around. Great design, awesome pre-assembly forethought ideas and as always, an excellent tutorial on the work it took to complete such a project. It looks great, love the color and the contrast with the walnut. It will be a high quality piece of furniture not only built with care ad precision, but with "Mom's Love".

[@AlvaroSuarezIsaza]

Wow...what a laborious job Tamar....You sweated to the cold drop...Congratulations!!!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Haha thanks!

[@Md0bR]

Great mom great carpenter great content creator. Keep up the good work 🎉

[@SmoothAlf]

You are awesome Tamar! Well done.

[@Swiley3362]

Looks like it was an interesting and yet challenging project. I appreciate your trying new techniques and sharing the process with us. I always say that a sign of a good carpenter is one that can resolve mistakes so others remain unaware (unless you tell them). Nice final project.

[@SanSan-lb9iv]

Absolutely awesome to have a mum who is a carpenter. So damn COOL!

[@bryandiel]

Amazing Build Tamar! 🙌🏽💪🏽👏🏽

[@josemoya991]

Great new video. You have inspired me with a design for my sons bed. I think a floating bed with a Nintendo switch head board would be a great combination

[@3x3CustomTamar]

That sounds cool!

[@jessec8562]

Finishing fun idea…..take your finished grey ash and pull a card scraper across the top basically exposing the high points of the grain. Color in the new exposed white wood with a orange/red-ish stain. Enjoy! Thanks for the video!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Could be interesting

[@chicago9458]

This is some pro work start to finish. A lot of wood but still Amazing

[@nyoiksbraks4925]

for sure you have invested on tools..plus your skills on top..ur genius ..much love from kenya

[@tommytexter4054]

The mom I never had!!!!❤ I am start to learn wood working now at age of 30. I really wish my parents would show me when I was young.

[@tcbridges]

I remember when you started and how to a new home and shop. I think you have just about every bell & whistle in the shop now. What a great layout and the best of every tool.the whole Festool line up. Keep up the great videos you worked very hard to get where your at. Con Grats. Please slow down in showing us how your working on your projects. TY i

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks! I still need a lathe.. ha.

[@wileymarm0t]

You are an awesome mom! I know that struggle with a large sheet of wood! Lastly, thank you for sharing the struggles of making a mistake. That wood glue is more strong than I thought!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

And it was only like 15 minutes after I put it on! I was shocked

[@EqDior]

wow this is beautiful. Amazing Job!

[@angelinaklineburgess5286]

Amazing bed ! Excellent video !

[@michaelsilva7236]

Greetings from PR Tamar, your work is beautiful. Very proud of her work, blessings to you and your family. Thanks for sharing knowledge.

[@barryward1365]

Another masterpiece Tamar, you never disappoint. Haven't caught you for a while as I have been busy, but so glad that I watched this - you have given me so much to think about for when my total house renovation is finished. 👍

[@alothaiqi]

Beautiful and elaborate work. Have you thought about dividing the long video into several episodes?

[@SmoothAlf]

Congrats on making the Woodworkers Source's newsletter with the bed build!

[@zakmiller9302]

Hell yeah, never seen a domino used like that! Great thinking on the spot

[@emersonassis7154]

Wow Tamar ...your level is so high (project and execution)...mistakes are part of life...I loved this project... It is amazing Congratulations from Brazil

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Mistakes happen to us all! It’s all in how we fix it

[@benjammin9833]

You're a great mom!

[@willemvanarkel]

Great to see you finally get back into action. Although there is a lot to be done in your new space, you find the time to complete this beautiful project. Love it.

[@anthonygrey9282]

Excellent use the domino to overcome the side rail problem. Good job 😊

[@Dionysius12]

You become better and better every time Tamar. I enjoy your videos and appreciate the fact that you don"t cover up mistakes. We all learn from that. Seems you look for a bigger challenge every time. All the best from the Netherlands.👌

[@3x3CustomTamar]

I try to challenge myself with each project! Always keep learning! 💪

[@pedrosilveirafontana9626]

No doubt, you're the coolest mom ever. Beautiful bed.

[@jasonpavelchik4652]

Beautiful bed and I love how detailed you are in giving the audience information of how and why you the steps and tricks you use to accomplish your pieces. Thank you for another excellent video and build!

[@craiggoodwin9704]

Tamar, it looks like your Son is going to be a "happy camper" with his new bedroom. Very impressive. Thanks for Sharing! 🙂❤

[@3x3CustomTamar]

I hope so! Thanks!

[@adamc3474]

I like the floating design. It looks awesome. I've been building gift boxes using the floating design. I'm jealous of all that shop space you have. I've got 1 bay of a 2 car garage, but that's not stopping me. I just have to be more creative in my layout. Stay awesome.

[@olimjonjalilov]

MashaAllah super

[@timothycolbrese8023]

This very well may be the absolute best build that I've ever seen on KZbin!! Wow!!!! That is AWESOME!!! I really enjoyed this!

[@eddents]

What a project. Nicely done & Whew! Always enjoy real world captures of fixing whoops a daisies on the fly. Efforts in removing the glued on ledger give a shining example of why so many old larger chisels you find at yard sales are often bent. Panic mode in a wood shop makes everything look like a crowbar!

[@aaronclewell1163]

Your problem solving is always inspiring. And, hey, it's helpful to be reminded how strong wood glue really is!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Yeah! I was surprised I couldn’t get it off so soon after I glued it

[@norbertcardenas1876]

Very clean- well thought out.

[@mohammadabuelnaga9103]

Wow. This is a really amazing project. This Grey color work definitely worth it.

[@kristianhorsager2968]

Im so glad you post relative titles for your videos and havent jumped on the clickbait titles. Makes it so much more enjoyable when i know what's being built

Beautiful bed that will be enjoyed for years to come. Great fix on the upside-down support.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Glad I was able to recover. Thanks!

[@josebarlatier]

I think what is easily missed about Tamar is her ability to teach. I think is easy to miss because we get blown away by her woodworking skills and design. There is never a time I walk away learning nothing when watching her videos, no matter what she is building

[@SpiderMax95]

the dust collection looks super efficient! at 5:30, there is NOTHING flying past the tool. the bed came out great too. super fancy

Great Job! Congratulations!

You are amazing so very talented I have picked up quite a few ideas from your video's Thank you Tamar

[@karlriley1314]

WOW, that is really a nice Floating Bed. Years, 1977, I built a bunk bed for my kids and I still have it. The grandson uses it now when the family comes to visit.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

That’s awesome

[@jorgneumann214]

Hi Tamar, You defo can be so proud of the outcome, it's awesome! Look at you planning, building and installing it - you really came a long way refining your skills, most impressive. And the dato screw-up only makes you more likable.

Thanks so much! It was a lot of experimenting, but really happy with the result!

[@jeffreyjennings1640]

Very nice build Tamar. Watching the final build was really nice the way all the joinery came together. I'm sure it was really satisfying for you since you did all the work!

[@pmdinaz]

It turned out soo nice!

[@chicago9458]

For me integrating wall outlets and the light switches (even better usbc chargers and built in led lights) would make this a complete project

[@alpaca6920]

Don't you just love that Festool mitre saw. I have had mine for about 2 months and it is so much more accurate than my old Makita.

im so glad i found this channel!!!! it's so nice to watch you work, i laughed when you realised you'd screwed it together upside down bc ive definitely been there with my work before. that feeling of realising is.... awfully funny, i can't wait to watch the rest of the video!!!! as a girl i wish i knew women like you i could learn woodworking from

[@noidnomis]

Really like the look of the finish, it looks amazing. It is nice that you left in the visions of your mistakes, as that is how we all learn to become better at what we love to do. Having something built by a family member is so much more satisfying as it also brings along years worth or memories. Leaving a message for your son was a great idea..! Some 40+ years ago now I built my parents a 2" thick solid white oak dining trestle table, that table has seen so many family meals, birthday's, family get togethers, quiet newspaper reading breakfasts with my Dad and long into the night conversations with my Mom.. 🥲 Looking forward to seeing your next project.🙂

[@3x3CustomTamar]

It really is the best feeling to build stuff we will actually use for years to come ☺️ thanks!
