---------------------------- ABOUT THIS VIDEO ----------------------------
This is a really simple, modular headboard I made to complete the modular bed that I built for my son a few months ago. You could make this with some pretty basic woodworking tools and skills. The whole thing is made from plywood and you really don't need anything more than a table saw (or circular saw) and a drill to complete this project.

MUY buena calidad, el texto imagenes. kzbin.infoUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO Un manuel muy completo y trabajado. Resulta muy práctico. Para principiantes y profesionales. Lo recomiendo

[@itskagiso]

Seriously.... this guys vids. The production, narration, charisma, quality...... really really tops!!!!!!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Kage :)

[@DanielMiskowiec]

Clean, functional, beautiful. (Speaking, of course, to the project, the narration, and the video production.) I always walk away from watching your videos feeling uplifted, calmed, and encouraged that I too might be able to build these gorgeous pieces. You're like my own personal woodworking Oprah. Thank you.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

haha...you get a saw, you get a saw, you get a saw!!!!!!!!

[@TheJhowNM]

Here I am 3 years past this video. The year is 2020. And I came back here to get some ideas for a headboard I'm planning on building and still I find the same Chris I started watching even prior to this time. Same chilliness and attitude he keeps showing till these days. I just hope he's much closer to building the bigger room around that bed and fulfilling his dreams.

[@briancorkum7223]

Seriously.... I can't get enough of these videos. The style is unprecedented. Very calming and easy to get sucked in. The work is simple but outstanding. Has opened my eyes to what a 3/4" sheet could turn into... simply perfect. Keep up the great work and please keep these videos coming. Great work my friend... truly.

[@chronicmango]

Real talk though, squarespace is the only option for making a nice looking website without being a coding wizard. I made mine for my coffee company with it and get lots of compliments.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Nice! Yeah, it is remarkably easy and intuitive to use.

[@kaoru007]

You gave me an excellent idea to modify my home office project. It'll simplify things and the only modification is that I will probably use french cleat to hang stuff. Thanks for that!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Can't beach the Cleat :)

[@derekforestier1708]

Love the video Chris, love the humor. I wouldn't want to see the boxes get damaged either. Thanks for sharing

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

would be a damn shame :)

[@marcmeyers4156]

Chris Salomone those pesky kids can be so oblivious....

[@cameronanderson212]

U always build from the hear love your work man

[@cameronanderson212]

Heart

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

I hear what you're saying...sorry...heart what you're saying :)

[@masterofnone]

For me it's the little touches makes a good video into a great video. Like rounding over corners so it doesn't get damaged.

[@jjclark2819]

I am loving the podcast! Thanks for all you do for the community.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks JJ

[@dandavis2977]

I watch your videos all the time and this one inspired me to build my own. Just with a little twist to it.

[@ludwigbarnes3058]

Def digging the podcast!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Man :)

[@sebastienmissair6070]

Both your vids and your woodworking are so inspiring ! Thank you !

[@kellilandry3207]

Hi Chris. I've been subscribed for a little while but only just since listening to the podcast made my way here to sit and watch a full video. I love your style! There are so many out there that are fast and furious, trying to get it all in. I like that style too but yours struck me as very personal and simple. Thanks for the great video and inspiration!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Kelli. Glad you enjoyed!

[@FatGayandTired]

I am going to be making a full wall version of this with part of it being my headboard, but the entire wall being the slat shelves/boxes etc. Thanks for giving me the idea with this video!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Nice. I've been thinking about doing something like this on a fireplace wall in our house.

[@jimmypare6718]

This is like therapeutic. Great video!

[@BillSinWorkshop]

I like how you use simple materials like plywood and the design comes always awesome. Well made Chris

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Bill :)

[@wmwalkerco]

You're so damn, charismatic! I laughed pretty hard when you said you didn't want the edges of the box to suffer damage. Excellent build, and excellent way to handle a sponsored project.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks man. Luckily what I lack in charisma is made up for by my over abundant, outwardly-visible, confidence :)

[@dantan1249]

how does the headboard stand?

[@briancorkum7223]

I laughed as well. I seriously just started watching and I can't get enough.

[@teresameyer6502]

Cruel world of fried corkum! I

[@keifersimple6010]

Your vids are so calming ....... Best editing and narrating hands down.....

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

:)

[@MrPeterPay]

What an awesome dad you are! Love you videos, keep it up

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks :)

[@tomvanderhorst9943]

Loved the line about not wanting the boxes to get damaged. I'll have to use that with my shop students. I tell them that I don't want them to get any accidents in my shop, cause there's too much paperwork involved. Don't get blood on any equipment!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

:)

[@DavidBarr9476]

So, I think you've just inspired me to do a french cleat headboard, though that may be overkill, your method would certainly hold most of the things I can think of wanting over my bed.

[@nourdineohamo7926]

very good work

[@valkyr1985swe]

Wow just realized you got up to 84.000 subs! Congrats man! Keep up the great work!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks man...just gotta keep plugging away.

[@dustinjames4530]

Hello from the future. Hope this guy sees you now. 🤣 (2020 Sucks by the way)

[@jamesonneyman9714]

I'm new to the channel but your style is beautiful. The way you make your videos is so pleasing and informative while being entertaining and fun. Wonderful job and beautiful craftsmanship and cinematic style!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks!

[@queerkyra2684]

so peaceful ^^ boarder line ASMR quality very sooothing

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks...and you may be right...but it was purely accidental :)

[@Sjjones1977]

Love your work Chris. As always your videos are very inspiring. Please keep them coming.

[@JTWoodworks]

Excellent video Chris! Love the project, the cinematography, and the humor! Also, I absolutely love your podcast. I'm actually about to listen to yesterday's episode. Keep up the awesome work and thanks so much for sharing!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Nice...thanks man :)

[@ineedabeerandaliedwn]

Great idea man, very functional and refreshingly simplistic design!

[@BruceAUlrich]

Really nice build. Enjoyed the video and the bed turned out awesome!

[@yuyulimaster]

so far the best video diy headboard i saw here today.

[@arrudawakening]

I enjoyed this one and I'm hoping to build a bed for my son pretty soon as well. Thanks again for your awesome content.

[@oliverdelica2289]

Out of you, Mike Montgomery , and Ben Uyeda, you are the only person who uses pro tools.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

I bet Mike used Pro Tools when he was doing his music production classes. ...that's a music recording joke. He'd get it. :)

[@oliverdelica2289]

Chris I meant professional WOODWORKING tools. They only use Ryobi tools.

[@unfayzd]

Awesome! Really keen on doing something like this for my daughters toys.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Nice!

[@kreparAZ]

great video. super cool idea.

[@grouch314]

I'd love to do something like this. Great project

[@PreshKidd1887]

I was thinking about my dad a lot when watching this video. I loves building things and have always been encouraging me to to so as well. So far I've been mor eon the crafty and artsy side, but I'll send him you video and ask if we could build this together when we can see each other again.

[@danielburnett753]

Great work Chris. I really like this design. I'm also really digging the podcast. You Ben and Mark have a good thing going. Keep it up. I'll be tuning in every Thursday.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Daniel.

[@bulldogg187]

watched this video for the third time.. really wish i could give it 2 more thumbs up.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Appreciate it Ernest :)

[@ericbartha6313]

yes! very excited for you to have another video. okay, watching now.

[@steenfraosterbro3268]

Great idea and as always a great video. I personally would have worked around the visible nails.

[@hamdyxone]

fantastic work, I relay like all of your videos they are amazing , this one i will copy, Thanks

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Nice!

[@juliebirum]

This is gorgeous! Exactly what we're looking for. Thanks! Thinking we won't go quite down to the ground with the horizontal slats: probably just low enough to level the box right next to the mattress and leave a space below that. But I love this design because we might rotate our bed in the future and I didn't want to install a headboard into the studs. This one just sits where you want it, which is perfect.

[@AndreaArzensek]

I made similar headboard to this one and me and my wife love it!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Nice!

[@antonmessina5304]

Another awesome build!!!!!!

[@DentargPL]

Really nice desing. I can even accept the plywood edges this time ;)

[@theizabellamenezes]

a podcast with you, modern builts and home made modern? is this the real life? haha luv your videos!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Izabella. Hope you like the Podcast :)

[@tooljunkie555]

[@tooljunkie555]

Chris Salomone always bro!

[@annaodilia8473]

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Lana :-)

[@grouch314]

Lana Vergil I thought you said a one handed funny builder and I was like 'dang that's a good prosthetic'

[@madcapmonster]

yes it was my first time to the channel and I did subscribe :)

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Appreciate it MCM :)

[@skillstacking]

Dude!!!! Looking forward to the pod cast!!!!!!! There guys I am really interested in. Can't wait to give it a listen. Keep up the get work. Thanks bro.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

:) Hope you like it!

[@sreeramkoneru4841]

Chris, how about using 45 degrees for the slats, so that your boxes have 45 degrees to hang, would be sturdy i guess (french cleat type)

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

It could be done for sure.

[@JayfromTerra]

we have something similar-looking from IKEA (this is not an insult) but is a bit knocked up by now thanks for making me realize that I can build something better myself

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

no insult taken. I know a lot of people hate Ikea. I'm not one of them.

[@NirvanaWoodWorksbyJanie]

Love your creativity and design! Just EXCELLENT! This is definitely a headboard that we must have now lol. We were thinking about making one (with hidden storage/secret compartment features) here soon when we move in the next couple of months to our new home. I'll need to incorporate (this) your design somehow in it. I hope you don't mind! Again, excellent design, work and execution Chris!!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Janie. Don't mind at all. I love when people use the ideas for their own pieces.

[@derekcavan6000]

Brilliantly simple but effective design Chris! You remind me of another KZbinr I often listen to (Kirby Meets Audio). You're both very soft spoken and simple to the point dialogue makes it a pleasure to listen to and easy to follow, even without plans. I look forward to more of your videos and have subscribed. Thank you! :D

[@Raidvii]

this is my first time here and im going to hit that red button

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Appreciate it :-)

[@MyPhoenix62]

Wonderful speaking voice and your work!! Im so glad I stumbled onto your channel..Now..if I can just decide which one of your awesome platform beads to try!! Amazing work!!

[@JeronimoJGC]

Great Video, thanks for sharing!!

[@adiz7756]

i really falling in love withu r tools really amazing way is amazing and small details i just want to say plz make a video about framing easy project with minimum professional tools thanks

[@mrphilbert1]

Love the videos. I'd hate to think of all the damage my head has done to hard objects by bumping into them.

[@eHappie]

Another awesome video! Keep em coming!

[@mitchstanton7846]

Another great video. I always look forward to your videos. I also checked out the podcast a couple days ago, enjoying that as well. (something else to look forward too)

[@THEOuchyDathurts]

Simple but interesting. Another neato design! Keep the videos coming Chris :)

[@WatchMeDIYIt]

Pure coolness, dude!

[@levaisandoralex6829]

cool stuff!!!

[@Larsschmidt14]

Haha that comment Chris! 6:38. Had to replay it several times to ensure I head it right

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

you heard it right :-)

[@marry0680]

Great idea!

[@Larsschmidt14]

Funny to see this project pop -up. I've had a similar idea on the sketch blok for several monts based on the inspiration of the IKEA headboard called MANDAL

[@4evernz]

love to watch how u work. it completely satisfied! could u make DIY desktop case?

[@AlSabado-at-alsabado-com]

Amazing work! Congrats! I've been thinking about how to make one for my parents' bed. I like your idea of jagged edges and the detachable boxes that go with the headboard. I'll certainly review this video once I start on the project.

[@Oliver_Dexter]

Love these videos

[@markfelps2269]

Had you considered cutting the boards at a 45 degree angle on the top, essentially making it a french cleat system? You could just slide them in from the sides, and it would give nice holding strength. Great design, anyway.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Yeah. I've been thinking of doing a whole wall that functioned like that. Didn't want to do it on the headboard though.

[@Onli9Gaming]

videos are soo good. and peaceful. thanks for making them. :)

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks and no problem :)

[@claterpult]

Great looking headboard. Your right about the corners, it's really bad when they bleed on the work as well as ding the edges.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Yup...got the sticker up in my shop BTW. I'm sure it'll make a cameo sometime soon.

[@claterpult]

Chris Salomone awesome, thanks. BTW I'm two episodes into your podcast. It's great. I like the hypotheticals reminds me of the "would you rather" game

[@jargentieri11778]

Great simple design. Nice.

[@ashleyemanuela]

I love you!!! I love this video!!! You have a new subbie. I feel inspired to make my own headboard thank you for this great video

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Ashley...appreciate it!

[@aissambrahim958]

Acutely thinks to u Man U r genius

[@itcmikesworkshop1814]

Great video Chris! I love the smooth and subtle high level editing you do in pretty much all of your videos! Big fan : ]

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Mike :)

[@CHEKERBOY]

i like all your vids i fun to watch and inspiring...keep up the good work

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Victor...appreciate it!

[@ted6361]

Great work! Shouldnt the bed construction have holes for the mattress to breath? I learned in the trade school it could get moldy otherwise.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Probably...I've heard that too. I don't think the bed will even last long enough to grow mold...he'll be in a full size in no time :)

[@soulmaaan]

great work! as always.

[@user-ik1vz1hf5v]

Cool... 👍

[@oussamachabane4278]

modern design and diffrent to another bedside table

[@mrmrsrobinson4725]

I love that blue hat your wearing sir! Thanks for this Diy!

[@andrewv5104]

Chris great work i LOVE this design. Your videos are great and slowly your convincing me on this modern design thing. Keep it up. Advice on the photography. You can take your 35 1.8 and stitch images together and get a panorama. With software like Lightroom you aren't limited to linear lines you can shoot in a grid and it will work all the same. This doesn't work for video but with your style you could insert stills and people probably wouldn't be any wiser. Oh wait you already do ;).

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks! Yeah, I've used Photoshop to make some panaroma stuff before. Never really considered doing it with the furniture. Even still...the problems is more being able to get far away enough from the object. With the Panaroma there would be some distortion problems...that's why I've taken to 3D rendering some of the stuff.....SHHHH don't tell anyone ;)

[@philquinn73]

I'm gonna make one of those, thanks! !

[@CobusGreyling]

First time watching this and fastest I have subscribed to a channel; I can watch you work for hours man. Your voice overs and music are so incredibly soothing, very natural, unforced; it's just so nice. Man. Fuck.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

haha...thanks man. Cracking up at the "fuck" at the end. Me and my friend used to do a comedy routine with that as the punchline to ever line. :)

[@allanpaganini]

Hi Chris How are you? Your Project is easy,amazing and beautiful too. Congratulations

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Allan. I'm good. How are you?

[@frankingram3382]

Nice looking headboard and bed, thanks for sharing. Do you have a video of the bed build? God Bless my friend.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Yes sir. There is a card in the video that links to it. or just click through my channel.

[@patrickschless9992]

Videography is top notch, great job on that. I do wish that (in addition to the Amazon affiliate links) you'd provide written plans for anyone wanting to follow along.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

I plan on doing plans at some point. Just haven't had a chance yet.

[@derekcavan6000]

In fairness this build is very simple Patrick and will be specific to the bed size/wall size as to its dimensions. Just make the horizontals whatever length you want but keep the ply spacers for when you are fitting it together so you can keep the gaps just right for the modular storage compartments. Great build @ Chris Salomone! I will be building one for my daughter very soon as this idea would suit her perfectly with very limited space beside her bed for lockers/bedside tables. And obviously you could go higher if required to include more shelving above the bed. Thanks for sharing. ;)

[@theis7849]

Great smile😬 Guess the kids love moving the shelves back and forth.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks...I'm not sure if he has noticed yet, but once he does - yeah, you're probably right.

[@carlbowden4712]

GO CUBS!!!!!

[@handmadeisbetter]

Such a great build. I would like to build it for my own, maybe I have the opportunity to do it in the closer future. How about some head resting cushions (don't know the name for it in English) that you can attach the same way like the shelves and boxes? You could fit the height to your sons needs!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

You could do that...he's got a tone of pillows already though.

[@Xaviertattoo]

jenial

[@KeithandLisasgreatadventure]

nice

[@justinprewitt245]

Great build. I subbed to the podcast and will listen to them soon.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks man...hope you enjoy :)

[@justinprewitt245]

Chris Salomone I will. I throughly enjoy all 3 of your channels. I'm just starting out and trying to find my video style.

[@justinprewitt245]

Awesome podcast. Way above mediocre!

[@ravescience2000]

wow, very nice:)

[@BrunoCarrilho]

Hello! And thank you for making this sorld a better place! By the way...that is suposed to be fixed on the wall right?

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Ideally yes...though I attached mine to the bed itself...and it's jammed between the wall and bed. It's plenty sturdy like that. Thanks!

[@sheriking4041]

Beautiful!!!
