Good morning 🌅, Honey 🍯 B, that was a very nice project, well done, France,

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Thanks

[@williambirdwell1633]

i think what you do is GREAT including the BED SERIES!

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Thanks!

[@jeanloreaud9282]

Ce lit est magnifique , j’adore la tête de lit, et il a été réalisé avec beaucoup de goût et de belles techniques de fabrication, vous pouvez être très fière de votre travail, bravo à bientôt salut Jeannot 🛠😉

I love your headboard design and the LED lights idea. Thank You. Paul

All of your content is appreciated by those with the good sense to watch. Graham Stuart

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

I appreciate that!

[@robertsare4833]

What I do whenever I see that there is a series of vidoes in a build, is to wait until all are posted. Then I can watch them all at the same time. Maybe other subscribers do the same and views will catch up. I hope so. You have become one of my favorite KZbinrs. I enjoy your builds and I especially like your workshop. When there's sawdust and scraps on the floor and the benches, it looks realistic; looks like there is some real work being done. Looks a bit like my shop but unfortunately with less work being done. I'm very glad that I came across your channel. From the east coast of Canada.

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Thanks, appreciate that.

[@AgCWby90CS]

Enjoy watching all your projects.

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Thanks

[@Gazman299]

It really turned out nice. You should be proud. At first I thought that it was getting a little overbuilt, but I was wrong. Every piece that you placed played an important roll. Thank you for pointing out the struggles, and warts that you had with the build. That makes it so much more relatable. It's not just me! :-) Take care.

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Thanks

[@normanbott]

Don't understand how such an interesting series can get few views. The results look stylish and that Douglas Fir will develop a nice patina over the years. So many useful techniques and buying a good bed frame is difficult. I enjoyed it anyway.

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Thanks! I am looking forward to that color getting a nice patina over the years.

[@grahamparsons6620]

Have to say I liked this build, loved the way you tied the legs into the frame and also the steamed slats in the headboard looked great too, I thought it was a good project for anyone to take on no matter their skill level, not sure way it would not have done well 🤷anyway what would I know 👌👌👌👍👍👍🇦🇺

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Thanks, still don't understand how KZbin works after all these years. This third part is doing much better. Thumbnails with myself in them seem to do better. Which is frustrating because you would assume the a photo of the finished piece would work best.

[@kiwdwks]

Always thinking outside the box...nicely done!

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Thanks

[@FODman51]

I personally enjoyed this project build and all of your projects to date. I really love the headboard.

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Thanks! I was happy with how that turned out.

[@KarlBunker]

Love the basket weave! Angling the headboard back is a great idea too.

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Yeah I'm happy I took the time to angel it, just looks better and functions better.

[@jeffmoe2660]

👍 Keep up the good work. Happy building. ☮️

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Thanks

[@patrickperson1252]

un superbe travail comme toujours Kathleen .j adore ce style félicitations patrick

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Thanks

[@pacojerte_ati]

Least popular? I can't believe. I've been looking forward to this project since you started it. I figured it would have been one of your most popular series.

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

I thought so too, still haven’t figured KZbin out after all these years.

[@feylezofriza]

It is beautiful. I built a similar low bed three years ago. I wish I had this video series as my guide back then. The finger joint jig is especially a great idea. It would have made my life 10 times easier. Instead, I used some specialized hardware, which was expensive and not as strong.

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Having helped people move/assemble beds quite a bit over the years that hardware never holds up. Especially, if it's moved multiple times.

[@henrysara7716]

Thank you HB.

[@danhunka6730]

Good afternoon H. B. Just wanted to say that regardless of how many people watched this particular project build, their are many, like myself who absolutely enjoyed this series. This is what I love about your channel, always something different than the norm. You just keep doing what you do. Next time when you’re out and about, stop at a thrift store and pick up a matching weaved basket to use as an accent piece to place some of your reading material in. Along with the Headboard it will look great. I thought the bed looked great in your room. Until next time, have fun in your shop and enjoy your weekend girl.

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

You have a nice weekend too.

[@1951DaveS]

I always learn from your design, creativity, technique and problem solving ideas. Enjoyed the bed series.

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Thanks

[@hefalump56]

Another good-looking project completed., thanks Caitlin. Not something that I will be building soon but you covered some more useful tips and methods that can be incorporated in to other projects.

[@michaelcima5772]

I think the finish looks great.

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Agreed. I really like that finish.

[@dennisfelix1507]

Appreciate this series. The bed frame looks awesome. I built a box joint jig modeled after the one you have the video on. My grandsons and I used it to make all of the drawers for a desk and a nightstand we built this spring/summer. It worked flawlessly. Thanks!

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Nice! Happy it worked out.

[@danieldurkton2942]

Looks great. Have a great weekend.!!!!

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

You have a great weekend too

[@tableshaper4076]

The back rest looks like it would be supper comfy.

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

I like it so far.

[@tableshaper4076]

@@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks How embarrassing...I just realized I wrote supper instead of super. 🥺

[@oilfinder]

Another design marvel, you are amazing at what you do, thank you for the video.

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Thanks

[@sethhamilton5824]

You used some really cool techniques on this build. Things I would not have considered but probably should. Thank you.

[@conniediperi4837]

Enjoyed the entire series.

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Thanks! Thanks for watching all of it.

[@woodamiright7373]

Looks great! Love the process!

[@danielhanawalt4998]

Unusual and beautiful head board. Bed itself looked so nice seems a shame to cover it with a mattress. Guess you need a place to sleep though right? lol. I like the name of the channel, Honey Badger WoodWorks. Big fan of those critters. Have to admire them, some of the toughest and fearless animals in the land. Nice work and good video.

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Thanks!

[@sandman2651]

To be honest i have really enjoyed the making of the bed its been very interesting to see your thought process as you made your way through the build

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Thanks!

[@georgewilmore7599]

I think you did great. Enjoyed the series. Interesting design and build techniques.

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Thanks

[@myhoneyshandmade1077]

Great build. Thanks for sharing.

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Thanks

[@rick91443]

Really came out nicely. Was imagining it all done in exotic wood but looked pretty cool in the last images. cheers...richard in Normandy

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

The price of lumber really dictated what species I used on this.

[@cabman86]

It's gorgeous! You did good!

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Appreciate that!

[@OpekiskaWood]

Your video has helped me a lot as I am building the same type of bed for our guest room. I've borrowed a few of you techniques and ideas too. Thanks for these videos!

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Nice

[@johnmenarek8062]

Nicely done, keep up the good work!

I’ve watched them all, and enjoyed them as usual!

Thanks for watching!

[@xoxo2008oxox]

Could have just left those boards outside last week with the heat-humidity here! Looks great! Also like using Osmo.

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

I know, it’s been brutal all summer.

[@69kaveman]

Nice job! Looks Great!

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Thanks!

[@jasonthomas1760]

Awesome build as always! Interesting headboard idea, not my cup of tea but it looks great. I don't know what I would do without my bookcase headboard lol.

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Bookcase headboard sounds cool.

[@jasonthomas1760]

@@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks love mine, my daughter wants me to make her one now

[@Tomhohenadel]

Interesting project, well worth the effort you put in. Bonus is it’s for your personal use. Doug Fir looks nice. Have never used Osmo oil. Not sure if it’s available in Canada. Thanks

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

The first time I used it was a few years ago, and it was a little difficult to source. Now it's all over Amazon and easy to get in various quantities and sheens.

[@troyqueen9503]

Osmos oil is available at Lee valley tools 🏝️🇨🇦

[@JayCWhiteCloud]

In this particular style of bed, I am puzzled as to why some may not find it appealing. Such a perspective seems nonsensical to me. Within this style, this video demonstrating the construction of the bed is arguably one of the best available. While it may not be as user-friendly for DIY enthusiasts in the more complex versions, it is easily adaptable and has been proven over centuries to be highly effective for various purposes, ranging from beds to entire structures. Congratulations on a job well executed!

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Thanks

[@timcottom8397]

H Hi HB, I enjoy all your builds. The way you execute your process I learn from. I thought this was a very inspiring project , you have me thinking about my own bed frame. Lol Timothy

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Thanks

[@jimmyjames3220]

Enjoyed this build and your bed looks great! I also have the same end tables in my place too :)

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Nice! They are back in fashion now.

[@michaeldelvoye6371]

Very nice looking bed frame, please post the plans. Thank you.

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Working on getting the plans done,

[@benjaqsonworkshop9974]

It's a shame it has low figures because there's so much I've learnt frim this series. Really enjoyed it and grateful for your suggestions and explanations. Let's hope it's a slow burner...

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

hahah I wish.

[@N..-]

Love the bed. But especially that the legs are inset. Almost broke a hip when in the middle of the night, half asleep I had to go to the bathroom and my foot caught on the leg of the bed. Good thing my bladder held, or it would be one more insult to my already bruised body!

[@dogwoodtales]

Nicely done! … there’s a penguin in your shop

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

that's shop security

[@Bytesplice]

HB - I really enjoyed this series, thank you! One question: All the two-by material I see at the big box store is labeled SPF - Spruce - Pine - Fir. How can you tell you have fir and not spruce or pine? I have seen 4 x 4 for sticks that are reddish brown, but the 2 x 4/6/8 don't have the same color. Thanks

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

It could be a regional thing. Mine are labeled Douglas Fir. But, I can tell them apart easily from the white pine they sell as well, even without the label.

[@FODman51]

Catilyn, I believe I have seen the entire build. I notice you unrolled the slates onto the bed. How did you space the slates and what material did you attach the slate with? Cloth strips?

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

They came attached like that already. Looks just like cloth staples on the back.

[@ltandrepants]

who dat!

[@FODman51]

Sorry I am not trying to be a pain. It looks like you are working in short sleeves. The garage doors are shut. Have you updated to a Heated and Air Condition shop?

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

I have heat, no AC. The cost to add AC is something I'm not willing to shell out especially considering this is not a permanent shop situation. And the heat doesn't really bother me.

[@ltandrepants]

like I said it was a pain

[@oliver299d]

honestly if its not a video lying to everyone that you'll get rich woodworking or farmhouse it's hard to get people to watch, I don't get why

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Yeah, I've noticed that over the years as well.

[@oliver299d]

@@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks what's been blowing my mind lately is how many people are pushing patreon pages when they don't know the first thing about woodworking, they con people into thinking that they know what they're doing and get them to pay them. It's sad
