[@joseluistorres5446]

Can you imagine him being a surgeon and telling other doctors what to do during a procedure he's so clear and direct a dying breed for sure.

[@SilverCymbal]

Tommy embodies the practical yankee with superior craftsmanskills. Great to watch and inspiration for my videos too.

[@zachevans7348]

Screw the headboard, I want this guys shop and tools!!

[@rawlsawh2804]

All hail King Tommy. Master of all the wood in the world. Credits to Kev too

[@cjc1216]

Yea him and norm are some quality carpenters. Even though I think tommy's title is technically general contractor hes still one hell of a craftsman.

[@benjimcdowell1627]

Yep

[@Gitarzan66]

You're going to need that glue if you're planning to shake that headboard lol.

[@amsivertson]

You won’t even use 1 full tube on this.

[@camshaft872]

You guys are awesome 👍❤

[@28cruzin]

Tommy is one of my favorites, but I think Kevin is hidding his light under a bushel basket. His talent sneaks out now and then.

[@dragonrider9051]

Sand and seal for sure.

[@tgguadarrama]

Great job, I like it. Thank you

[@carpfire]

Tommy you left out a lot of information!. If I want my headboard to be 66" wide, how wide do I cut the plywood to allow for the return?

[@coreykettel4934]

Very easy! 66+7+1+1.5..... 66=your desired width 7= width of 2 2x4 1= thickness of two pieces of the half inch ply 1.5= thickness of the rough saw 3/4 material. For a grand total of 75.5”

[@amsivertson]

He didn’t leave anything out at all. He told you it can be as wide as you want it to be. It could be the width of the mattress or frame. Or wider. Or all the way behind the nightstands…which is what he said. And you can make the return as deep as you want. He said he used 2x4 for the structure, so it would be at least that deep, and you could make it deeper if you want. He didn’t give measurements, because they’ll be different for your application. Make it the way you want to make it!

Looks great...I used the same wood for a feature wall in my kitchen in a herringbone pattern

[@rustybodine]

Pic plz

[@ecpoirier]

is the idea to attach the bed to the headboard, and the headboard to the wall, making a solid unit? or does the bed / headboard remain detached and floating?

[@amsivertson]

That was answered in the video.

[@stevenstepien4303]

What kind of bed frame are they using in this video?

[@malghawazi]

Awesome, I loved it

[@davesempire8287]

Got some old barn wood.. Be nice project

[@SalehalOreef]

nice work

[@twistingterrain7748]

I'm gunna do this but add some lights

[@periwinkle1]

Can anyone tell me why my four post bed headboard has two vertical pieces of wood on the back of it? It makes it unsightly to put it in any other position other than up against the wall! I have had two beds like this and searched the internet and KZbin for a picture or an explanation, no luck!

[@cbartek63]

Would live a set of plans, so I can build one

[@amsivertson]

You don’t need plans… everything you need to know is in the video.

What Tom has been teaching me through this old house & ask this old house. I also been watching this show forever...loll I learn alot from this house and one of favorite stations PBS in northern California. lol

[@Natedoc808]

Rebecca C Ramirez you’re welcome. It’ll help you find the correct” how to” videos on KZbin. Also, keep in mind that many of the tools they use on these professionally produced shows, such as festool shown here, are the absolute top of the line tools, insanely expensive and typically have a far cheaper yet high quality brand for a fraction of the cost

[@chriswhite6882]

awesome

[@kevinclayton1974]

7:15 doesn't look like 5/4 pine at all, like he says it is. Looks like a regular KD SPF 2x6. Am I right or wrong?

[@amsivertson]

Looks like 5/4 to me. But you can use whatever you want.

[@RMSIN393]

Are there plans posted for this?

[@amsivertson]

No plans needed - everything is in the video, and the specifics will change for your mattress size.

[@clintonlyle7922]

Every Airbnb in Nashville has this headboard :-/

[@kenc2257]

They are all fans of the show.

[@Tizza933]

What type of water based finish is that for the top piece?

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

It’s rough wood. But you could use other wood.

[@georgebeasley2550]

who made up the bed?

[@BobbyBaloney]

So nice ! Out of trend in 3 years. Why not build it in solid, clean wood ?

[@jaymcc5421]

Because trends don't really come into building a bed it personal taste. If someone likes this they'll keep it. You can make it solid and they could be sick of it in a year.

[@DineshPatel-xh5ne]

Why did the camera flash red at 1:06?

[@Engineer9736]

Dinesh Patel because the camera liked it

[@austinpatrick2682]

I would have cut costs big time and used OSB for the structure. Birch is way overkill, especially to not be seen. Plus have fun making this without a track saw...

[@chriswhite6882]

you can do thit with a circ saw just clamp a big ass peice of metal to it i do it all the time

[@amsivertson]

Watch Tommy’s video on homemade ‘track saw’ circular saw guide made from 2 scrap pieces of plywood. In fact he’s made 2 or 3 of them on this channel.

[@Montyfarfer]

Tommy should rule the world.

[@mattrains2283]

Why would you be tired from watching TV?

[@triplebasic]

Do I need the $1000 Festool track saw for this project?

[@tarickman]

C. Alex Mateos nope a straight edge would work

[@luvdady]

nope $427 linear ft , reclaimed colonial shiplap from the bottom of the Mississippi river is recommended

[@amsivertson]

No. Any straight edge. And if you search this same channel you’ll find two or three videos that Tommy has made on how to make a homemade circular saw guide out of to scrap pieces of plywood.

[@joeferaco9896]

14000 brad nails later a head board

[@demonknight7965]

lmao yeah but they had to get the mitered ends to match tight so it looked like a solid piece of wood

[@RobertLeBlancPhoto]

Tommy builds nice, solid, straight headboards for himself and his three kids, but then makes a crappy one using thin boards with huge gaps for Kevin. 🤔

[@devingoins361]

Can I buy it from you/can you make me one?

[@lilpbass]

Broke out the pro tools on this one.

[@RobertLeBlancPhoto]

Why not just rip the boards so they’re straight? The gaps look like crap.

[@tarickman]

Rob L. True you could run one edge in a jointer then the opposing edge at the table saw

[@jaymcc5421]

Did you miss the rustic part of the title?

[@amsivertson]

This is a rustic look by design. If you don’t like it, then do what you want to fix it.

[@Yoshis_Studio]

Shows how to make a track saw.....uses Festool.

[@MrAbcdefghi12435]

Festool no longer a sponsor so started blurring their brand name? It's Milwaukee now? They gave up on blurring out the Festool on the last shot and missed it earlier hah

[@bmay8818]

Looks "good" (I'm not a fan of the weathered/old look) until the wood expands/contracts seasonally and things start to break. No joints at all here, just glue and brad nails.

[@amsivertson]

That’s not an issue for this application.

[@bmay8818]

@@amsivertson It's an issue in all woodworking. Wood "breathes" whether it's inside or outside, regardless of species or age. The degree to which it affects anything depends on lots of factors, and many things built this way are fine, but it's always a risk.

[@amsivertson]

@@bmay8818 lol yes I’m very, very familiar. And I live in an area with very severe winters and hot humid summers. And what you’re describing is not an issue **for this specific application**, even in a climate with such drastic swings in conditions.

[@dcdci]

I hate this weathered wood trend. I'm a kitchen installer and lately this stuff has become very popular. We install a beautiful new kitchen and then the client wants to cover the back and ends of the island with weathered wood because they saw it in a magazine or on some TV show and they believe all the oohs and aahs from the actors. Only problem is it looks like crap. It's splinters waiting to happen and will be a huge dust catcher and very hard to keep clean.

[@bighands69]

That rustic sawn look is really nice and it is authentic looking. It goes with older houses or modern houses. My Whole kitchen and that includes floors, ceiling, units, tables and windows are done in that woodwork style and everybody loves the look. It will still be there in 30 years time.

[@chriswhite6882]

i love it diffrent strokes for diffrent folks

[@Natedoc808]

Nothing like TV carpenters to make shitty workmanship, poor fit and no knowledge of how to properly finish a workpiece a popular “upgrade” so long as you call it something catchy like “rustic” or “cowgirl chic”. Just as bad as all the “distressed” finishes.... you just painted something and then randomly took a freaking sander to it; my 4 year left to her own devices is like a freaking furniture finishing guru by those standards!

[@cgaccount3669]

Trend is another word for style. Not everyone likes every style. To me over finishing wood isn't that attractive. I prefer rustic over perfectly fit, which is often just veneer over particle board. The factory made look isn't always appealing

[@Natedoc808]

CG Account veneer over particle board is a euphemism for garbage. Wood doesn’t need to be over finished, but it should at least not snag your wife’s hair in the head board when being put through the shaker challenge! Lol

So with your shop outfitted to the 9s with Festcool equipment, you won’t even clean up the edges for decent edge jointing? SMH. Just a big imposter veneer piece, cannot even get a video showing people how to do it right themselves because lord knows you cannot buy anything of decent quality anymore. Also, don’t put your dang finger over the top of the spot you’re shooting a nail into, gonna deflect one through your finger.

[@amsivertson]

Lmfao. You caught that this was a RUSTIC look project, right? Using rough-saw wood? Like they mentioned many times?? 🙄🤦🏼‍♂️

[@Natedoc808]

@@amsivertson I didn’t realize rustic mean crappy fit and finish; must be the latest casualty of the redefining of words. Well then, China makes tons of rustic stuff. I’ve mad plenty of projects with rough sawn material, you still joint the edges where you’re going to join them so the fitment is correct. Heck, our doghouse is built better than this.

[@amsivertson]

@@Natedoc808 lmao. This is neither a woodworking masterclass, nor a linguistics lesson in the meaning of words 🤣🤣… it’s a DIY weekend warrior project. Plus… you’re wrong and you’ve missed the point anyway.

[@Natedoc808]

@@amsivertson to think that property joining pieces of material falls under “master class” level carpentry is the mindset and attitude of pure laziness, low quality, and low value, not to mention wasteful as it simply yields disposable items. Like I said, China makes lots of this kind of thing. Anything worth doing, is worth doing well. Takes the same amount of labor and material to do a crappy job as it does to do a good job, the difference is in the attitude of the person doing the work.

I never thought he would stoop to such a low level as this. Disappointed.
