I just want to say you make it look easier than I ever thought!! :) Thanks for taking it slow and making it very understandable.

[@fiensiferum]

I am but i was going to build it using wood only. but after seeing your videos you have inspired me to try something different. Please keep the videos coming, i'm enjoying learning more about upholstery.

[@lauragibbon9926]

Thank you for the great video. Very helpful!

[@fiensiferum]

This was a very helpful video.

[@rmartin8887]

I love Bill and his bloppers. What a kick in the pants he is.

[@KimsUpholstery]

He's quite the guy!

Awesome tutorial. I always thought making headboards was really hard. But it does not look too complicated. Thanks for sharing. Btw, really funny bloopers. :D

[@moiradixon5340]

Great to find this video. I've been searching for the third step - adding batting. I can't seem to find it. Can you post the link?

[@KimsUpholstery]

Thanks for watching +MaoriaDixon. I think what you are asking about is near the end of the video Part 2. Upholstery How To Build A Headboard Part 2 Padding Up The Headboard.mov

[@moiradixon5340]

Thank you. I'll watch again now. I guessed I missed it.

[@KimsUpholstery]

Thanks Felicia I really appreciate hearing that. Kim

[@ReginaRodriguez87]

great tutorial!!!

[@KimsUpholstery]

Hi Tanya, a twin headboard is 40" w and this one we about 39" above the mattress. Hope this helps, Kim

[@alice30045]

OK, forget the first of my comments, you covered it in the after thought on your Bloopers. Nice to know I'm not alone at screwing things up! Who knows, Hollywood may want you.

[@doreenschannel6419]

Thanks for this video. I love watching your videos! Your work is so beautiful. I'm curious about the frames. Are most headboard frames constructed the same way regardless of the shape and thickness?

[@KimsUpholstery]

Hi +Doreen'schannel Thanks for watching. There are many ways to construct a headboard frame. What you saw was just one of the methods I use. It really depends on the outcome you want. Bill

[@alice30045]

I love Bill at the end of the video, let's see more of him. You go guy!! But seriously, I'm a woman, have a few tools but...why couldn't I use cubes made from lleft over packing styrofoam for the spacers between the front and back, sure would be a lot easier than cutting all that wood with my little jig saw. BTW, for the back panel at HD I see they have something different, like luan but a bit sturdier and about $`10 for and 8x10. For my taste I'd like this piece to be less than 20 lbs.

[@Love4titan]

Hi can you tell me what thickness you used for the plywood?

[@tanyacastro5355]

What a great video!! Thank you Bill for taking the time to make this video and walking us through the steps. When you cut out the backboard with luan, you mention you clamped 2 sheets together to the plyboard template to cut out with jigsaw. However, when you place the back board on with the glue it looked like there was on 1 sheet of luan stapled to the back or were they glued together off video so that it appeared as 1 sheet?

[@swinteriordesign]

What thickness of ply do you use? Many thanks

[@NormaQ612]

lol nice bloopers

[@tanyacastro5355]

Do you happen to have and be willing to share a supply list and specific template dimensions for this twin size headboard?

[@KimsUpholstery]

I have not tried MDF. Isn't MDF heavier? I see no reason why MDF wouldn't work. Please send pictures of your project. Kim

[@KimsUpholstery]

Thanks fiensiferum. Are you building a headboard?

[@zingmanable]

Hi Bill I am looking for a small jigsaw like this one in the video , where can i buy one?

[@KimsUpholstery]

Hi Alice, Foam spacers might work just fine. I never would have thought of that. Thanks for your input. Please join us on Kim's Upholstery FaceBook where we can stay in touch. Bill

[@alice30045]

Regarding MDF: It's really a lot heavier than wood, good for a painted surface, not so good for a headboard, too heavy.

[@KimsUpholstery]

I use a wood glue from the hardware store. Liquid nails will work but may be more expensive. Thanks for watching. Please subscribe to my channel. Kim

[@KimsUpholstery]

Ohhhh! You noticed. Bill

[@chec786]

Do you guys sell these??

[@KimsUpholstery]

We custom build them for our clients. If you are in our area give us a call. Kim

[@cjbryant28]

What kind of glue is used here?

[@KimsUpholstery]

[@alice30045]

Forgive my mistakes

[@alice30045]

You say, "this is a full sized headboard", using a board that is 40 x 40. Using my calculations, that wouldn't be big enough for a full size. So.......I'm guessing that for the sake of time and ease you're demonstrating this is a TWIN. I guess you can chalk this up to my age, that's an old picture of me, I'm at the age where I get confused.

[@KimsUpholstery]

Alice Crawford Hello Alice, we say full size plan but yes it is a twin. Thanks for watching, Kim
