I surprised my wife with a PALLET WOOD BEDROOM!

I made a pallet wood bedroom for my wife, and you’re welcome to follow along in the video. I made a herringbone headboard from pallet wood, a shelf from pallet wood and a side table from a cherry log.
The video i mention in the beginning about my epoxy resin mistakes is right here: • How I Turned a Rotten ...
Notes about the video:
I refer to my wife as “my boss” because my wife traditionally makes the most design decisions in our house. The new thing is me making stuff for the house and also having an opinion, but trust me, she’s still the boss if the thing is going into the house.
My wife was away most of the time I renovated the bedroom and was pretty (positively) surprised when she came back and saw it. She didn’t want to be a part of the video, so you’ll have to imagine her reaction. IRL it wasn't monday-friday in a row, but I dramatized the story a bit to fit into a video storyline. It was filmed during the summer in Denmark, and we are so high north we have daylight (and even sunlight) most of the 24 hours of each day. Yes, our nights are just 3-4 hours long during the summer.
I quote a few lines from a Coldplay song called Fix You. The first line is “When you try your best, but you don’t succeed.” My kids used to sing that line when me and my wife were discussing something, and it was obvious that I didn’t get my way, or when I tried to fix something in the house and failed. We laughed a lot about it, so it’s just stuck in my head.
I tried out some different Rubio Monocoat products in the video with very little success. I would like to point out that I’m a big fan of Rubios products, especially their Oil + 2C PURE, that’s a fantastic finish for tables, floors, furniture, all things woody. Their staining products are probably more difficult to use and get a good result with, so far I’m only good friends with the Walnut oil + 2C.
I had some other makers say and do stuff in this video. They are not being mean in any way, all that’s being said and done in this video is written and edited by me.

We need more of this just to demonstrate that "making furniture out of pallets" shouldn't mean just piling them up and making your place look like a vagrant's den.

Hello Jesper, The most important thing is this: I admire the technique of making videos. Super edited video. Inspiring and impressive. It's a nice video that can be watched without missing the continuity. A beautiful bed from old pallet boards. Very nice on authentic side tables. It's a very good project. A wonderful surprise for your wife. Coloring and polishing created a great image. Congratulations on the rapid rise in your channel. This is great progress. It's impressive that you included our mutual friends in the video. I'm glad you watched this beautiful video. All the best. Big greetings. Your friend Mehmet Cheers mate.

Hi Mehmet, thank you for this nice comment. I am very lucky to be part of a global woodworking community, where I can always get help and support, and that was the only thing that got me to where I am today. The best part of it all is working together with other makers in their or in my videos, and there are so many things I want to do with so many good people all over the world. I am still amazed by the creativity on your channel, and you are also seeing a good growth-rate which is a healthy sign for a channel. Take care and keep building. Jesper

Come on now!! You are outrageously creative, clever, and funny. I’m in love with the furniture you make and your video editing skills are fantastic. I keep having to rewind to read your pop up comments cause they go by so fast, also, You have some super fun fast cuts of your finished design, but your work is so amazing and Id love to be able to get a solid view of it at the end of your video. You obviously know what you are doing though, just thought I’d share my thoughts

[@JesperMakes]

Hi Kelly, thanks for your kind comment. I do sometimes get comments about the fast-paced ending cuts, and you're right, as soon as the finished product comes on screen people are leaving the video, so I always make the ending pretty short, leaving people to have to pause the video or play it half speed (that's a KZbin option) if they want to extend it. The result is the retention goes up in the end of the video insted of dropping, and that's helping the video to spread to more people, so thank you, you're really helping the video on KZbin. Cheers, Jesper

That was really great 👍 I do wish the end would give more of a chance to see the whole bedroom finished project. It jumped around so fast, plus there's always a Next Video popup blocking the middle of the screen. So, maybe a slower, detailed pan would help at the very end.

Thanks, I will try to do that. You could play the video at 0.5 speed in the end for now. Thanks for your suggestion Campy.

That sounds fantastic! Using pallets for compost bins and cold frames is a smart and sustainable choice; it really aligns with the spirit of recycling and repurposing that I love to showcase in my projects. Starting a garden and growing your own food is a huge step in the right direction - not just for sustainability but also for enjoying fresh, homegrown produce; it's a win-win! A potting bench made from heat-treated pallets sounds like a brilliant idea, it would indeed make a great addition to your gardening setup. It's a solid choice to go for heat-treated pallets to avoid those chemicals. I'd love to see how a pallet potting bench would turn out; it sounds like a fantastic project that could bring a lot of functionality and character to your space. Remember, every little step counts, and it sounds like you're on a great path with your sustainable practices. Keep it up!

Been watching a lot of wood/epoxy videos lately. Your videos are a great combination of skill and comedy. Would have liked to see the reaction of your wif.... BOSS I mean. Subd!

[@JesperMakes]

Thanks 👍 Hi Hektor - yeah the boss was happy, I was unfortunately not allowed to show her jaw dropping to the floor on video, but it's now her favorite room in the house - yay! Cheers and thanks for watching. Jesper

Oh maaaaan that final color of finish looked amazing! You’re the man Jesper, thanks for sharing your great content!

[@JesperMakes]

Thanks, it took some experimentation on this one. Yes I could have used a test piece, but I somehow didn't. I could have left it out of the video and not embarrassed myself. I forgot that too 😂😂

[@athreedognight4022]

Love these pallet wood builds, maybe because I'm so cheap, cheap, cheap? LOL!!! Looks great my friend I think I'll tackle that someday now thanks to you. Genuis!!!!!!!

[@JesperMakes]

We're both cheap then! Never buy wood ever again is my motto. Cheers and thanks my friend.

[@stacia914]

Its so funny that you call your wife your boss 😂🤣

[@JesperMakes]

Did you read the description of the video? Cheers from Denmark 🇩🇰🇩🇰👍

[@FixitFingers]

Wifey found this very relatable Jesper. You are one of the few channels we watch at normal speed :P Mostly though we just enjoy reading your disclaimers in the description afterwards 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@JesperMakes]

Wow you watch at normal speed AND read the description, I shall ask no more 🤠🙏🙏🙏 thanks both of you good people

[@GabrielDimude]

Hahaha.. You are so fun to listen and watch

[@JesperMakes]

Thanks 🙏🙏

[@dominicjohnson8427]

Wow I need one of those cnc router’s! Always use stain on a test piece 👍 also I can’t believe you didn’t let us see the boss’s reaction

[@JesperMakes]

Good call - yeah the boss was happy, I was unfortunately not allowed to show her jaw dropping to the floor on video, but it's now her favorite room in the house - yay! Cheers and thanks for watching. Jesper

[@Colouh]

Thanks for the idea of the wooden wall, I'm trying to make something like that to my "boss" (tho I don't have all the cool tools you have). But I took your inspiration! you won a sub !

[@JesperMakes]

You can do it! And 2 years ago I had no tools at all, but started with a handsaw and a drill and buildt from there.

[@mahmodramadan8892]

So..... did the Boss approve??? Love the content 👌

[@JesperMakes]

Yes she did! I'm very happily married!

[@OzSawdustMakers]

10/10 mate as always! Love your work!

[@JesperMakes]

Thanks, likewise! Take care..!

[@edpikestone6800]

Very funny and entertaining oh and the headboard turned out ok too 😏

[@JesperMakes]

Hi Ed, thanks, and yeah even the worst project can be a good video 😂😂

[@edpikestone6800]

@@JesperMakes I think it turned out very well. If at first you don’t succeed try try again. Makes me want to go and make a pallet furniture for my wife…

[@djjinerson]

Your content creation, woodworking skills, and humor are next level. I subbed after viewing my first video of yours…..now I hope KZbin doesn’t do to you (and me) what it’s done to all my other favorite creators…..and that’s that they stop putting their uploads in my feed after a while and constantly offer me videos from creators I’ve never searched or subbed to. It’s kind of a curse and a blessing as that’s how I found you.

[@JesperMakes]

Thanks for your kind words, I certainly hope KZbin are not dumping good creators and their subscribers.

[@jpcrafts.homedecor.8378]

Awesome, thank you!
