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

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

Awesome to hear! Hope you liked it!

Facts

[@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 😂

[@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

[@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

[@syence_nird]

Thing I love about this channel is you show all the mistakes you make, and some are not minor. I used to get so frustrated in my own projects when I make mistakes because you rarely see content creators making them. I also find it very useful to figure out different ways to fix these mistakes, I think it makes you a much better woodworker!

[@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. ☺️

[@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

[@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!

[@SmoothAlf]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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!

[@woodworkingandepoxy643]

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

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Ha. I hate the click bait titles too. Feels like such a teenager thing to do. We’re grown adults. Ha.

[@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

[@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.

[@OldWhitebelly]

Nothing worse than finding out just how good your glue jobs are!

[@AlvaroSuarezIsaza]

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

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Haha thanks!

[@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

[@terrancemurphy2745]

Tamar, I’m 72 and have been doing this for quite some time. But I must say that I thoroughly enjoy your energy and creativity in your projects. You are doing extremely well. Thanks for sharing this piece of your life with us. Murf

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Glad you enjoy ☺️

[@michaelsilva7236]

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

[@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

[@alancook1380]

Every child should be so fortunate. Nicely done.

[@SanSan-lb9iv]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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!

[@busomite]

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

[@ianwood6864]

Hi, I think you did a good on your sons bed, I wish you and your family all the best for the weekend. Love Ianwood 🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️💋

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks! Enjoy the weekend!

[@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".

[@pedrosilveirafontana9626]

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

[@eggpassion]

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

[@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! 💪

[@eamonstynes440]

Those who have never made a mistake, never made anything. When I did my apprenticeship, one of my tutors taught me ‘it’s not a mistake, until you can’t fix it’. We always try to do things right, but sometimes we need to employ a work around to make it right. Adding domino’s was the extra step, possibly not needed, but got yo to where you were happy with the build quality.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Couldn’t agree more!

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@mirzamajid5798]

It is a treat to watch watch the final result always tempting..... Love the content

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks so much!

[@todds4101]

Sure is great to see good carpenters out there. I don't comment nearly as much as I should, so I'm going to try to do a better job. Keep up the great work! Always a pleasure!

[@Cyberdern]

8:16 NOOOOOOOOOOOOO😁🤣. lovely build. Thank you once again Tamar for this wonderful lecture on woodworking. Grace for more!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Haha! Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed

[@mikewillis2934]

Excellent video. Good to show the unexpected mistakes and how you recovered - just like real life!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Hated that it happened... but happy that I was able to show that is does in fact happen to use all! ha

[@JackKirbyFan]

Absolutely beautiful. If it helps, every single mistake you made -> I've done several times over. Especially wood on the planer. You're in the zone and you're tired and of course everything falls off !

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Haha! It’s happened way more than I’d like to admit too

[@mohammadabuelnaga9103]

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

[@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

[@daspec]

Perfect wife and great bed design, I am going to built mine soon and this was a great inspiration

[@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

[@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. 👍

[@barry.w.christie]

As with others, I love that you show your mistakes ... we have all been there and feel your pain ... another amazing build 👍

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks! It’s so frustrating when stuff like this happens, at least I was able to recover!

[@danmacmillan5114]

[@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.

[@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!

[@owenparker6651]

I'll try to remember not to feel like such a dolt when I make a mistake now that I've seen my favorite DIY woodworker do the same. Wow. Another home run with this design and over the top deployment! Thanks so very much for sharing!

[@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.

[@aaronhuntington5798]

Looks great! You’re so humble and real. It’s good to see you struggle through some things because I struggle with them too.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Haha I have yet to build a project without some sort of struggle. 😂

[@scottmorris4914]

Got a bunch for you here. First of all, welcome back, miss your videos. No pressure. You confirmed what I have tried to explained to people. That fiished with color added do not soak into the wood like stains/dyes. And in regard to dyes, I think they work so much better than stains. I don’t see any lighting under that floating frame? He didn’t want any LEDs? LOL In regards to poplar, I have had great success with using stain on it. Every says to only paint it. All the woodwork and doors in our house are poplar, and it is all stained. Looks great. Bed look really nice. And the walnut shelves add a nice touch.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks so much! I'm focused on these bigger projects now, so I am aiming for 1 video a month.... And no LEDs... Ha. They would be cool, but just not my thing.

[@jameswebb9738]

No matter how long we have been woodworking and I’m still a beginner with only 4 years experience , I haven’t seen you make many mistakes but I commend you for not editing that out! most times you laugh at yourself , and I know you learn from those mistakes as we all do, or should but I have made the same mistake on similar projects numerous times. Nice job!!

[@JerryQuison]

Hello there I have an interesting offer you might find interesting and very profitable

[@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!

What a beautiful build!!! My daughter has been begging me for a floating bed too! ❤❤❤

[@3x3CustomTamar]

[@3x3CustomTamar]

[@mandyleeson1]

That's great Tamar. So many steps! Simpatico for your mistake, but great solution found. I normally have to go for a walk when I do stuff like that. Well done!

[@TheTiffanyAching]

Terrific bed! Your son is one lucky fellow!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks so much! He’s really happy with it

[@AB-nu5we]

Another really nice looking design. One of the many reasons to watch here. Nice recovery on the dado mistake. Those Domino's... . Whole bed came together nicely!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks so much! Was so happy I could recover!

[@patrickschardt7724]

So much to say but I’ll try to keep it short. I’m glad there’s a new video. You work is outstanding. Your videos are entertaining and educational. Even your mistake solution is simple yet effective… remove the dato sections and make new ones instead of removing the whole piece

[@m.rei85]

I love the floating design and the overall look of the bed, with massive headboard and walnut shelves. Combined with the dark stain, and the overall finish, it looks like an expensive designer piece. Showing and explaining the whole process, including the mistakes, is great and helps a lot in staying motivated. It can be quite difficult to learn to think in 3D, turning und flipping forms in your head. My skills in that area slowly improove, but seeing even big KZbinrs making mistakes is kind of comforting. Have you ever had issues with screwing down the slats when the wood expands and contracts or there's movement on the bed?

[@ilookafterthewater601]

Three things. Fist, I love the face at or about 28:11 - I think that says it all 🤣 Second, I love to watch problem-solvers adapt and overcome. And Tamar seems especially gifted in relation to this - more so, I would think, than at least 95% of people (and I have worked with a few in about 50 years in the trade) And third, hands up anybody who has never had a "Nooooooooooo!!" moment. I'd be a wealthy man by now if I had but a penny for each one that gripped my spirit in an icy grasp and squeezed! Anyhow, yet another instructive, informative enjotable and interesting video. Which is aways par for the course.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Haha so glad you liked it! While I feel really proud when I come up with these solutions, it is so disheartening when the mistakes happen. But they happen to all of us!

[@jameshodgins1937]

The new shop looks good. I love the glass garage door. The bed turned out fantastic. Keep up the good work.

[@robd.4319]

Wow Tamar I guess it's been a while since I've seen your videos. Your work shop is like wow. I remember seeing you telling us where stuff was going to go. So many new shop tools now maybe that's part of why it only took less than two weeks to build. Great job once again.

[@davidzapalac6977]

The color is awesome. I've always struggled to find the right stains when going for a very dark tone without it ending up looking just black. Great job!

[@atomictyler]

I've learned that wood glue sets far quicker than most people think. I had misaligned some stuff and 10 minutes after gluing it there was no taking it apart. It sucked at the time, but it's nice to know that I don't need to wait over night for glue to dry.
