[@rajadhikari2302]

You are the best, Jon. You have been my guru to learn to build things of wood.

[@terrybristol6132]

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks Terry...glad you liked the format of this video

[@douglamp178]

Jon, your work is stellar whether wood or video, you're an inspiration to do more and at level I would love to attain.

[@Mystupidheart123]

Slow and very meticulous. Not so slow as to get you bored. Perfect channel for a beginner like me. 30 minutes of these videos everyday during lockdown and viola. Subscribed

[@mahdiramezani8690]

Fully of beauty and accuracy. Thanks dear Jon

[@betomusik]

You patience with explaining your process is greatly appreciated. I'm new to your channel and have very much enjoyed all of the projects I've seen so far. Thank you. Blessings

I like the long project videos. I know it's a lot of work, but it gives me confidence that I could build it too. Keep it up!

[@johnpetersen851]

Jon I have watched your video at least three times, not too long. I am starting my bed today, for my granddaughter. Need to pare it back to standard size, but very excited. Thank you for the quality work you put forth on a regular basis.

[@phillipsanders576]

I have learn so much from you….. you’re amazing.

[@tracybrislin]

Well you are unbelievable Jon! My son in law thinks Im a master carpenter because of you. I will tell him some day the truth about just doing what you do, is the reason for his beautiful Quilt chest I made! My daughter thinks I'm a genius anyway. You are making Dads across the world heroes buddy! Not to mention literally making the world a better place to live. Your videos are not too long, I could watch longer, thank you!

[@JonPetersArtHome]

[@sangmocolley3052]

Mike Caffery hello

[@ericdescant3263]

That is outstanding looking!!!

[@thakingpoo26]

No need to apologize for the long video Mr. Peters, I personally loved it. With longer videos you can really get into detail with everything, and it's a huge help for me. I've been looking forward to this video for a while now, and it was well worth the wait! Looks amazing and can't wait for more videos in the future! Thanks again!

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks Nick

[@bavarian11788]

Glad you finally found a plywood that you like. The bed looks great. The video length was the right length, long enough for the information but not so long that it hurt the video. Thank you.

[@JCHCREACIONES]

The way you explain everything is so great, you make it look so easy to do, thanks for sharing your works. you inspire me, your channel is the best

[@joshdunlap7766]

Great video. I like the longer format as well.

[@cudazi]

Great project Jon, really like the white/walnut combination. I appreciate the tips along the way and your advice on alternate materials / tools.

[@penasimon3699]

This is a superb wood working book I`ve ever read, *TopFineWoodworking. Com* . Both novice and some skilled woodworker can gain a lot of general info using this reading material. I`ve been very amazed how frequently I use this to look up woods at places like to restore and salvage spots.?

[@Lungemach]

I enjoy watching you build even if I'm not building that project or one like it. Thanks.

[@ShadaeMastersAstrology]

Your work is superb! Thank you for sharing with us:)

Beautiful project - I am a fan of the longer format.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thank you

[@ksportedrummerv]

I'm making a king bed frame right now and about half way through. This video makes me want to start over and do yours.

[@MarkK01]

Thank you for such a great video. You are such a great craftsman. Keep the great videos coming please.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

+Mark Kruining Thank you Mark, very nice to get a comment like this. I appreciate it

[@mycats7321]

It turned out very nice! Thank you for showing the process. One thing I would probably change would be to recess the drawer faces & have lower profile handles so whoever sleeps in the bed doesn't hit their shins/knees on the drawer faces or handles when they go to get into bed.

[@jmstrings]

Excellent video, been looking forward to this one from the teases on the past few.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks!

[@ianrose2823]

[@ArvindNarayan11]

Though I am an engineer ... with your well-guided videos I feel next time rather than buy a new bed from the market I should try to make it by myself...Now all I need some tools.... great job Jon...you got one subscriber from India.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

+Arvind Narayan thank you!

[@SSS-mp8th]

Very informative. I'm going to use this to build a base for some cubbies in a mudroom and top it with a Sapele bench. Betting I can do something similar as well for the top where the coats hang and a basket for gloves and hats.
