Easy to build headboard with built in storage and flip down tray tables. Free plans: www.ana-white.com/2019/01/free... - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
That came out fantastic Anna! Just want to tell you that you have been my mentor on DIY. I’ve bought all the tools you have and I follow your videos all the time. I’ve been a farm girl my whole life. I sold the farm and the livestock because I’m getting older and I’ve been in it since I was born. I’ve now took a huge interest in building. When I was looking at how to start, I came across you and I just loved your mind. I won’t lie, I’ve had experience with building stalls and run in sheds, fixing fence posts and rails etc. I’m not a novice with power tools but boy am I loving my tools more than ever! I’m trying to live minimalist lifestyle now so I purchased an old 56 foot mobile home and I’m in the process of turning it into a farmhouse bigger version of a tiny house. I just want to thank you for your knowledge and super cool ideas! Keep them coming. I will definitely upload pictures of the before and after. Thank you Anna, you make a difference!
2x4 makes for less money, but I think for storage I would go 2x6 or 2x8 with 1x for shelving. Already showed Hubby with the idea of making it wider than bed to service as side table.
These are great mod ideas! I love it!
Hmmm, you come out another 4" bed will need to be moved forward.
Love it! Single Mom's can always use more love and support. Well done Ana!
I’ve been looking high and low for a headboard that I like, and this one takes the cake! This is beautiful! Amazing work! I’ve modified the plans to accommodate a king size mattress, and deeper storage space. We also want five sections of shelving instead of three...still three pull down trays, but two sections of exposed shelves as well. Wish me luck! I will share pics in the comments when I’m finished! :)
I'm a single mom, too. One of the things I love about your videos that it's so real about the balance of family and projects. It isn't easy to find little pockets of time to get projects done; as a mom there's always something to do. I also super appreciate your plans being free. It's really kind of you. One comment about the design: I would worry with a small child the panel coming down quickly if the latch wasn't properly hooked. Perhaps a catch of some sort so that you would have to actually pull down the table in order for it to lay flat. Just a thought : )
Don't take this the wrong way - I love you guys, I admire your clever and unique ideas and style.
While I totally understand why you do things the way you do, I believe a bit more professional care should go into projects that are meant to last for a while. Fill the pocket holes with plugs, sand before installing the back panel, trim where the plywood meets the edges of the frame on both the back and the doors, and finish the entire project, not just what is visible... but I guess everyone can take this as an inspiration and then build theirs their own way...
I am always looking forward to Mondays and your new video. Thank you for sharing and all the inspiration!
Whoa! Love the plan animations at the beginning- such a nice touch. I have Christmas money burning a hole in my pocket... for a pocket hole kreg jig and some new Ryobi cordless power tools! 😜 Ever since finding your channel a little over a year ago, I have been reassessing our furniture throughout the house. My father-in-law is into woodworking, so he helped us make one of your plans for a mudroom bench w/ shoe shelves and boot storage behind. Right now, he’s building us the Grandy hutch to go in our family room. Looking forward to DiY’ing the mini barn door hardware. New year, new projects! Happy new year to you & yours! 🎉
This is awesome!!! The Kreg Jig is amazing, I'd go for the K5 if you can (it has the front clamp that is much more accessible than the K4). And the brad nailer or stapler is a must. I can't wait to see projects from you!
First of all, your niece is a little cutie! my congratulations to your sister. Love the headboard ...you have so many awesome ideas!
Another great build, Ana! Do you ever sit back, look at your work and marvel? You have such a great talent. Not only in building but coming up with plans and sharing them-all while raising a family of three. You and Jacob are such givers. Thank you for your free plans. I have built a few pieces using your plans. Thanks for all your inspiration-you are the one female who helped me get over my fear of power tools. So much so that I asked for some for my upcoming birthday. Cheers to you and your family and Happy New Year!
This is it! Recently found myself sleeping alone again and I need a fresh bed. This is a great idea! Add a reading light, some USB outlets.
I saw this post on Instagram and fell in love with it. I absolutely love this build. THanks for sharing.
Thank you for taking such beautiful care of your sister and new baby! 👍🏼
Ana White is the best!!!
Ladies, you need to listen to her story how she got started building furniture by learning how to ROCK a Skill Saw for her Hubby Jacob!!!
And that Boy Jacob Rocks Building a Forever Home!!!
Jacob White could be a millionaire General Contractor!
😁 just finished the twin bed version for my daughter's freshman dorm room... so excited. Loved the inspiration...
Wonderful, we'd love to see a picture of it! anawhitesite@gmail.com
@@AnaWhiteDIY thank u for the inspiration
You're an awesome sister! Fantastic design and I can't wait to make one for my mom so she can recover from surgery and still have her things close by.
As always, love you and your ideas Ana.
Thank you! This one was my sister's, we just made it happen!
Great idea. Nice. Simple. Useful. Looks good!
Sure wish I had your skills and equipment- Should have gone to work with my Dad back in the 70’s. But no women in construction back then - You inspire me!
Her plans are usually pretty easy to follow with minimal power tools. I built a loft bed from her plans with only a drill, a miter saw, and a skill saw. I could have gotten by without the miter saw too.
Ana White does it again. Exactly what I needed to finish my kids storage bed. i didnt even realize that this was one of her video what i clicked the link! Thank alot for this
That is another BEAUTIFUL piece!! Thank you Ana!! 💞
Thank you!
It is absolutely gorgeous. I love it
Genius!!
Wow really love how the headboard came out. The color is really beautiful. Thanks for sharing on that. Alot to do when I'm getting my place. Now were just rent. Which it sucks. But I will be definitely be using your amazing wonderful ideas & plans. Amazing job Anna & Jacob.
Greetings from Ottawa, Canada. This project couldn't have been better timed for me. I'm about to build a Murphy Bed and I've been tweaking the framing design for a few requirements. One of them was a headboard. Another was some sort of tray system for my laptop or coffee, etc. So... This design is being incorporated into it all. Thank you SO much for inspiring the solution! #peace
Oh that animation of the plans at the beginning of the video is a nice touch!! I love seeing how your channel is growing Ana. 👏👏
Looks amazing ! So do YOU! Motherhood always agrees with you !
You are super young lady your family is blessed to have you keep helping you will be rewarded and may God bless.
Very practical, beautiful job!
Love, Love, Love this! And you have the coolest tools! The tabletop Kreg tool is nice.
Omg, how are you reading my mind?! I was honestly trying to design this into the Farmhouse bed last week!! Love this! 😱❤️
That would be awesome in a farmhouse bed!
Her sister did it- mind reading.
Then Anna did it- making it.
What a duo!
I think I've found my newest project. My fianceé suggested to me upholstery on the tray doors for a bit of comfort, so I might make that modification, but I'll mostly follow your plan. Thanks for the inspiration!
Ingenious...beautiful job!
Looks great!! Awesome design!
I mean...
This is super cool! you knocked out of the park again!
Good project Ana! Thanks for sharing it with us.👍😎JP
I so love this! Thank you for sharing!
You’re so good! You guys make beautiful things!
You are a great sister 😀. Fantastic design.
SUPER Ana ~ whoa.......!!!! love the stain too ~
This is fantastic! I have come across your site many times in my travels but never your youtube channel. You are such an skilled woodworker/diyer, thank you so much for sharing your plans with us!
Thanks for your support Susan!
WoW!! Looks great!!
Oh this is so lovely! I would love to make something like this one day, It would be perfect to store essentials in (hankerchiefs, coughdrops, vitamins, etc.)
Love the headboard !!!!
Genius! This is a great idea !
I love this idea so much! So practical and handy! Will definitely try it!
Hi Can anyone tell me where to find the blue table hole jig she is using? Thank you
You are the bees knees! Happy New Year!
New subscriber!! You are awesome at what you do, I'm totally binge watching your videos 🤗💜
Ohh Ana you’re amazing!!! I can think of so many ppl I could build this for including myself! Fantastic as always
Thank you you are too kind!
Great video!!!
Amazing and so inspirational! First video I've watched straight through of yours. Thank you so much for sharing! xWBW
I love this idea. It would be great in a tiny house too. Or a taller version of the cabinet part for some extra storage in a narrow bathroom.
Is there any way I could convince u guys to do a chicken coop video??? Possibly one that can easily come apart and be moved if one wasn’t yet in their forever home? I love the Carolina Coop videos from Carolina Coops ....but I want a beginner woodworker friendly/movable one..... 🙏🏽🤠
I will look into!
You tube Justin Rhodes has what he calls a chick shaw and it is a great diy build!!!
Very nice headboard! Your sister’s baby is beautiful!
AWESOME IDEA
Like Susan's idea of using wider 2x, but I would have put the pocket holes on the underside of the boards and then filled and stained so they would be less noticeable when stained. If painted it would not matter. I really like the whole idea, but would pad/upholster the the headboard in a neutral print or textured fabric to go with that beautiful stain. Would probably go with a different type of latch too. Great job! Glad she likes it.
I love that idea! I think i’d build it wider than the bed though so the side tables are beside the mattress, not on top of it, so it doesn’t hog the bed space. I think i’ll have a crack at this one 👍🏼
Awesome idea 💯🎯
A great project for a great price.
Love love love!!❤️
Fantástico todo lo que haces .
You're a great sister, may our Lord blessed you and family ❤
WOW Awesome :) hi from Tx
Wow nice bad ass, head Board !!!
You Rock !!!
Как всегда МОЛОДЕЦ!!!
Great idea
Super love it!!!! 😁
Good stuff!
This is affordable beautiful💚❤️💜
Love it 👍 I wish I was good in building stuff 😔 I would be building something every day lol
Excelent work, l realy like it. Go ahead and keep the good workup
Great idea love 💕 a lot
I'm doing this!
I love that headboard.I would have kept the middle shelves exposed and just attach the drop desk on the sides. Overall, it's a great idea and a practical space saver.
Sounds great!
Is there a "gray" gene that runs in the family? lol
Glad I didn't have to buy another can lol!
@@AnaWhiteDIY Sounds like an efficiency gene!
@@micahmitchell517 Cute, clever reply. If I could like more than once, I would.
@@scottkursch3169 Well, thank you! ;~D
Ana, Is there any way I could talk you into numbering your videos in the future so I can refer back when need be?????
I truly wish I could go back to my 50s (86) so I could build some of your projects!
You have no idea how wonderful you & Jacob are to be living your journey & passing it on to us, THANK YOU.
Just what I was looking for. Except the middle fold down bit. Can see that as a weird idea. I want something forms bedside stuff. The fold down and maybe a fold across for a lap table.
Perfect
I believe the 26 thumbs down were becuz it wasn't built for them. I think this is an awesome build. Muchas Gracias..🇵🇷🤺
I built my headboard and deleted the leg extensions in exchange for 2 french cleats. Made it so much easier to move it. I think I'm going to try this headboard and see how it comes out for me
Wonderful!
Love your hair, Ana : D
Good one
Bunkbeds next? Time to move our 3 yr old in with his big brother. -Danya
Such a super fantastic design, Ana! Why aren't all headboards made with trays!?
cool... quickly... simply...
Help, please. I used the door supports you recommended and when trying to close they hit the back of the cabinet not allowing the door to close. It looks like the ones you used in the video are different. Which ones did you use and where did you get them. Thank you very much.
Good afternoon, I have a question for you. I am new and would like to start doing little projects here and there. Is it worth it to buy the kreg system and which one should I buy. I already have a miter saw, drill, drill bits. I don't have a table saw or jigsaw yet. Could you please let me know or give me some info on where to start. Thanks.
Hi! Yes the kreg system is awesome! You can do a lot with screws and a drill but it is very difficult to do edge to edge joining without a kreg jig (the door frames as example). There are other methods like biscuits and edge gluing but none are as versatile and beginner friendly as the kreg jig. The K5 is the best bang for your buck and will do everything you see us doing
There are some cheap pocket hole jigs (25 dollar) not as fancy but still usable. I've seen some youtubers review them.
That is so nice, and you are such a good sister :-)
♥️
I'm surprised you put the pocket holes on top of the shelves instead of the bottom so you can't see them. Other then that it's a great idea. 👍👍
How do you like the Sawstop contractor saw with aluminum wings? I’m on the fence between the contractor and PCS sawstop
We love this setup! I don’t know about the alternative option but can say this setup pretty much allows us to do everything we need. Had the saw for about six years now and all is still working great
Route those corners❤
Amazing head board. Thank you for sharing with everyone. Quick question tho, how did he secure it to the wall? I see he drilling a screw in but is he using a packet hole from the head board to the stud In The wall? And also, do u think this would fit as a head board for the “Classic Storage Bed (Queen)” That you uploaded back in August?
Probably a 2 inch screw, screwed in at an angle on the headboad to the stud in the wall on both ends and on the bottom legs if the studs lined up.
If shortened to two compartments, would it fit a twin size?
You sister is GORGEOUS.
I’m going to build this
Great idea. Enjoying these videos, and really like seeing what you will come up with next!
Comment though, when you were doing your house build, we enjoyed the seeing the family life aspects too. Respecting your family's privacy and all, I get it, but it's great to see you and Jacob interacting, as well as with the kids too. And not to mention, the Alaskan scenery. We really enjoy your videos, and they are a highlight of our our weekends! Thanks for all you do!
Thank you and thanks for the insights! We love sharing the "real" side of DIY and will take note of your comment!
@@AnaWhiteDIY I like the level of esposure of the children: there's enough to keep it 'real' and in context while keeping focus on the project.
Can this be done for a king bed? If so, what will be the measurements?
How many screws did you use to attach to the beams in the wall?
Mrs. Fifty Shades of Gray, week in and week out I watch your videos. I love your creative projects and that gray as well, however, I have never had any luck with staining my projects with that gray like you do. It comes out exactly how I'd like myne to come out. When I'm applying the stain, it looks too thinned out/fluid, water like. It is water based and it's the exact same Varathane wood stain like you have at 5:39. Am I doing something wrong? My husband has even tried to no avail? What do you recommend? We have no issues with other stains, it's just this color of stain that we seem to have the problem with. The only difference is that our can says "stain and protect in one application" and it's "Weathered Grey semi-gloss". Not sure if the semi-gloss or Grey with an "E" makes a difference. I noticed your can is "Gray" with an "A".
I love it, but wouldn't you put the pocket holes to attach the shelves on the underside of the shelf?
You could do either way - I went back and forth, would you see the holes more from underneath when you are in bed or more from up top when the table is open? Ultimately we went this route but the other way might have been better.
I agree Carol.
I would also put pocket holes on the underside plus used pocket hole plugs to make it nice on both sides
I was wondering about that too. It seems like crud (dust and whatnot) would build up in them on the top if they're not plugged. Interesting build though.
This is super cool I'm going to build one just like it, what are those hinge supports called that keep the opening tray level? And who carries those supports?
