I hate those comments "You use X tool so you're not a real woodworker!" Fool, I work with wood with the tools I have. By their logic, unless they're hitting wood with another piece of wood, then they shouldn't be considered woodworkers either. Looks awesome!

[@NefariousMinds]

As they are tirelessly and less accurately cutting all their pieces by hand, they are jealous that they can't afford such an amazing machine!

[@LisaHarsh]

They also have never set up a cnc to know how not simple it is.

[@chrisfortner7578]

Jealous trolls is all. When you can afford them, better tools mean you can make money easier and quicker.

[@VanderGroejn]

I'm convinced they also drive automobiles driven by steam. 😂👍

[@torysetliff]

If you don’t fashion your woodworking projects with your bare teeth, you’re not a real beaver, uh, I mean woodworker.

[@JohnAVasquez]

It is a very good book for beginners as well as for those that are already into kzbin.infoUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt A very good basic ebook to keep as a reference too. I like it and the way the subject matter is presented. It has humor and that helps with the reading.

[@chuckmanion1128]

A neat build. My only critique on this was that I thought the pattern on the headboard was too much covered by the bed itself. It was too low and needed to be raised up so it was exposed and visible. However, to do this you'd probably have to make other changes to accommodate this, which might change the over all aesthetic, taking it out of the desired specifications of your daughter. I can imagine a couple different ideas on how to do so, but that's an unnecessary rabbit hole, since overall I like it and more importantly, so does your daughter.

[@HonoredMule]

I think the cutout design should have just been limited to the exposed area. No need to change the overall shape, and the reason it looks bad is that the visible portion is a clearly incomplete pattern.

[@Sleepnebula]

You should have said no

[@saundrawilson3950]

❤ this bed turned out beautiful and the look on your daughters face. Priceless.

[@beardiemom]

I'm the daughter of a carpenter and I am sure that your daughter will treasure this bed forever. There is something special to having something you know your father made for you, because he loves you.

[@TheWoodFly]

Nice job sir! You listened to your client's (daughter's) wants and needs, didn't override her with your "expertise", leveraged all the available technology in your shop, took enough professional pride in your work to fix what needed fixing and delivered a great product to a satisfied customer. PS: I built all of the furniture for my kids first apartment. I used the laser in my CNC to put little messages on the drawer bottoms to be discovered at some later date. A little secret just between father and kid.

[@LisaSmith-cv9md]

That is so sweet. That takes my lunch box and camping bag notes to a whole other level. They will appreciate those for years to come.

[@patman0250]

Ha "override her" I don't think that's possible by the looks of her.

[@mikes78]

I don't get why some people crap all over others when they find an effective way to do a better job. They whole "work smarter, not harder" is a valid methodology. Otherwise we'd still be a thousand years behind where we are today. Also saying "you aren't a real woodworker if you are/aren't..... " is just mindless gatekeeping and extremely petty and importantly, wrong.

[@icultivatebooks]

"you were adopted"

[@TheWoodFly]

@@icultivatebooks I hadn't considered that. Sneaky!

[@hayleyc9512]

i can just imagine as she gets older, telling the story of how her dad made this piece and giving a life story to the pieces you have made her. would be awesome! not everyone has stories like that to tell

This is Nick Offerman's (aka Ron Swanson) approach to woodworking. He explained it on his episode of Hot Ones.

for sure those pieces will probably be passed down for generations! and with how well they're built they'll last the test of time for sure!

Pleeeease...that kid is probably a spoiled self entitled brat. She'll just go gold digging for a rich hubby later on.

She will treasure this for the rest of her life. So, so stunning. If she enjoys a minimalist look, or contemporary, this is it. Love the contrast between the light and dark woods. No one else has this either. You are a wonderful father and she is a special daughter.

[@AlexanderZapataIndividual]

Her many boyfriends will testify to its structural integrity.

[@sarahworley5751]

OMG! My grandpa did a bunch of woodworking and i wish i had asked him to make me something before he passed. I'm sure your daughter will treasure every little thing you have made and will make for her for years. I loved watching this!

[@dawsie]

Love the bed, personally I would have made the head board higher so that it was not lost behind the mattress and pillows, the headboard would also work well as a chair back and matching 2 seater. Great job see ing your daughters expression is as you said well worth taking the time in making it just right.

[@jessicamason4223]

Agree. A little taller would be great

[@KrazeeKraftZ]

My thoughts exactly!

[@HomeCADvantage]

Agreed. I think he would have seen that in hindsight, but as he said, he wasn't able to do iterations. If a customer orders one, i bet that would be a consideration

[@Don.Challenger]

@@HomeCADvantage Well, since it's a knock down, he can at his leisure partially knock it down and add a base extension to raise that headboard into its full view.

@@Don.Challenger yeah valid point

[@ryanhuff585]

I’m building a book case for my daughter. I can appreciate the pride you take in making sure it’s perfect (or in my case, it at least doesn’t fall apart). And anyone who complains about ads is new to KZbin. Don’t apologize. Same with great tools.

OMG... I just finished this video and had to say this, YOU are an AWESOME father. My dad walked out on us when I was 6, he was a woodworker as well. That is probably why I started working with metal. I hope your daughter realizes how awesome you are... what am I saying... She does, her reaction says it all.

[@Jey_Ace]

You’ll never please everyone every time Mr. Johnny. You are a modern woodworker adapting to the new technologies. You make masterpieces. Keep it up, I’ve learned so much watching your videos and I’m an amateur one myself with hopes to make pieces like this in the future

[@HomeCADvantage]

Yeah without modern tech, we'd still be using a wooden hammer and a froe to make shingles haha

[@dunlai]

As a woodworker myself the first thought was "the mattress gonna cover up so much good stuff" but other than that... A really solid and good looking bed. And tbh i like your design even better then the online one:')

[@akiraoda2518]

[@alicia.3740]

That's what I thought too and that the mattress will slide all over the place because of the flat surface.

I do not comment very often on what I see built on KZbin but I had to on this project.

[@HiltownJoe]

small hint about the trick with the one two three block. when you make the cross, take your time and not only mark the piece at 0° and 90° but also at 180° and 270° when your dowel is exactly two inches, the second pair of lines line up exactly. If they are not, the lines create a little square and the true center is in the center of that square. this also works well when you know beforehand that your dowels are an odd size.

[@ThomasSawyers]

Here's some hypocritical advice, don't offer advice unless it's requested 🤷

[@larksie]

@@ThomasSawyers The first unsolicited advice was interesting and helpful for other viewers, and inoffensive if Jonny was already aware of it (and he says IN this video that comments can be helpful). Your unsolicited advice is not just unnecessary but unnecessarily mean, and offers nothing to anyone.

[@larksie]

Neat! I might have thought to do the second set of lines but wouldn't have known that the resultant square was useful for anything other than telling me my dowel or measurements were off.

[@ElysetheEevee]

​@@ThomasSawyers Ew, you're one of the bandwagoners, huh? Someone who doesn't think for themselves and jumps on whatever bandwagon they think others are riding. He said he hated troll comments. He also said the good comments are helpful. I've seen other dummies hating actually helpful comments simply because they think any kind of advice is trash advice. Your comment is one of the absolutely weirdest instances of someone not being able to "read a room" I've seen today.

Seeing people who really appreciate all the time and effort like this makes it all worth it

P.S.listening to and watching you work through problems you encounter as you created this piece, encourages me ( as I screw up and think about how to approach then solve problems ) which I encounter in making my pieces is so encouraging!

[@deepsgnips]

Also you still have to build it, refine it, etc and that’s no joke Same as those sayin digital photography is not photography

[@martyclack8782]

I agree. In the seventies they build house with nails and hammers know they use nail guns technology help improve the skills of the craftsman or craft woman’s

[@jasmeralia]

Agreed. It's a tool, no different than a saw or a chisel, it's just very powerful and efficient... as long as the user using it has the skill and knowledge to do so correctly.

[@BeingMyself__]

Like back in the day they didn’t have power drills and now every woodworker uses em and some just have hand drills for nostalgic reasons

[@cedricathlan9399]

Exactly! Also often times people don't think about the fact that in this day and age where productivity is on everyone lips (which is not a concept that I like as far as craftsmanship goes but that's another topic) those modern tools are the only way woodworkers can keep up to the industry standards that are always changing, effectively making it possible for them to earn an actual decent living off of their work. I remember coming across an old newspaper article of a purist calling out "lazy craftspeople" adopting the newly invented domestic power tools holding a similar kind of point of view: if you're not a traditionalist, you're not a "real" craftsperson. Boy that didn't age well now that litterally everyone has at least one electrical power tool in their house and/or workshop 😅. Truth be told, tradition is very cool and 100% handwork is absolutely fascinating, but when the living wage is on the line, that idea is simply just not cutting it. And there's no shame to that. Living a successful craftsperson's life in a hyper-industrialized society is already a feat in itself, when you think about it. There will always be naysayers that don't care for new technology and trash those who embrace them, but the reality is that those people are not the ones who have to put bread on the table with hand tools.

This is the first video I've seen of you and I gotta say I love your work, it is so amazing. I'm 22 right now and I used to be very big into wood working for years I loved it and when I wanted to use that as a career in life I lost interest because I always did creative -ish things with my work and thought that making furniture was extremely boring and didn't require creativity. You have completely changed my mind on that and even set a spark of enthusiasm for wood working in me again. I might start looking to work on some stuff on the side thanks to you. So thank you and I hope you keep uploading these videos

[@WillH1776]

The fact that the daughter appreciates her father's work, by asking him if he can build a bed like the one on anthropology, says a lot about how his father has shown her how much more meaningful a custom built furniture is. Jonny has raised a good daughter and she deserves to have the best in life. I'm sure his dream of using his skills to build fantastic pieces like this bed for his family is something he had always dreamt of. Hope your other endeavors come true, being able to retire and making KZbin videos as your full time. Keep on making those great videos like you always do.

Lovely creation and good to see your design and build journey. I’m pleased your daughter was happy! One thing I may have tried to do would have been to make the corners at the bottom round as they would have mirrored the headboard and been less painful on the shins 😂 … bitter experience talking there! That said it would have been more painful on the build ! Great job. Love it.

Great compromise. Glad she went with Dad, Inc. P.S. Congrats on retirement

Priceless, man. As a hobbyist woodworker, I agree with those who say, don't let anyone tell you you're "not a woodworker." If they want to work like Roy Underhill, more power to them, but you're turning out some pieces to be proud of. As a dad to two daughters (and a son :D) getting that reaction and the hug makes it all worth it. She'll have an heirloom piece for years. Keep it up, Jonny.

Wow, fantastic creativity and craftsmanship!

My great-grandfather was a Carpenter (in name and trade), and he built my grandmother a dining table with a lazy susan after she got married. He passed away before he finished it, leaving screws where he had intended to replace them with wooden pegs. It was part of the story, and now it's my dining table, and I remember his story and her story, the family memories made and that my children make now. We talk about it and him and family histories... it is so beautiful what you do for your family! You'll be immortal, sir! Great work! Thanks for sharing!

Ooops! Forgot to comment "OMG!" for making it to the end! LoL!

OMG! As always such great builds man. Keep up the good work. It doesnt matter if people give you grief for using the CNC machine. In my opinion using the right tool for the job is what matters. Its like using a really good saw.

You totally knocked that out of the park. The look on her face makes it all worth while. Great job as always!

Just found your channel! Awesome build. I love the transparency in your video! How everything is not always perfect and goes the way you plan, so you have to do some rethinking and through that process of failure you learn something valuable. Looking forward to watch more of your videos! Love those swing out drawers such a unique touch. One question I have is, how does epoxy and wood stand the test of time? Do they start breakaway from each other after awhile? OMG! Because I watched till the end lol All the best with Jonny Builds full time!!
