Those dowels were seriously one of your best tips yet. In the past, I've solved similar problems by either using metal threaded inserts (and hardening the surrounding grain with thin CA), or going through the enormous effort of cutting in a bridle joint. This is so much simpler, just as effective, and can be done with a blind hole for an invisible result. Not only that, but they'd work well in a repair. Keep up the great work.
I’ve been woodworking for over 40 years and once again I learned something from you Tamar: that dowel idea for screwing into cross grain instead of end grain is absolutely brilliant! Also, I have been loving how nice your trim router base is working for me. It has made my little colt router my favorite. You are awesome kiddo!
I just found your channel and have been bing watching the absolute crap out of your videos in my downtime. You're an exceptional teacher and while I'm a professional furniture maker, I'm a firm believer that there's always something new to learn. I'm just about to make a bed for my wife and I am 100% stealing that dowel trick for the endgrain. Absolutely loving your work!
Just here to say that you are amazing. I am a new mom, my son will be 1 in a few weeks - and seeing the end of this video with your kids talking to you made me so happy and hopeful for the future! I am a maker through and through- made my son's dresser while 8 months pregnant (do not recommend :) ) and it's been tough having less "making" time. So- thank you!
It was so hard for me to find time when the kids were little, I only started taking this seriously when my youngest went to kindergarten… building a dresser 8 months pregnant is pretty badass 🤘
Late reply ... I had more Maker time when my first was a baby than when she was mobile ... but she started walking at 8 months, so my time was short. One thing you can do is switch between hobbies. Little kids do not belong in the wood shop, but they're safe around sewing, knitting, making chain mail, cosmetic formulation (not soap) ... these are some of the artisan crafts I rotated through. Or go in a different direction and learn CAD software or building web pages. Also, many home maintenance things can be done around kids. I painted my house with my 5 year old son "helping". [He's a very calm person.] I assembled Ikea furniture around them. I even bought Shaker chair kits to assemble, finish and weave seats. You can't stop a True Maker.
I love woodworkers source! I have used them for all of my hardwood and visited one of their stores when I was in Tuscon on a business trip. They are awesome and the wood is always what I would hand pick from the store! Without them, I wouldn't be able to find hardwood near me!
I read a comment once not long ago that suggests, even if you are a hobby woodworker, the high end tools are worth it. The reason being, if you are a hobby woodworker, mostly like is because you just have less time. If you have less time then the better more efficient tools makes the most of that limited time and you get a lot more pleasure during that time enjoying your hobby. I decided to get the cheapest tools to start to get a feel of things. I am leaning to agree with the idea that the better the tools you have the better time of it you will have. I feel I have got the full set of cheap tools at this point and from this point forward I will get the best I can get. Lovely build btw, your work is always evolving and wonderful.
Yeah. Totally makes sense, but to each their own. I started off with all ryobi tools and cheap Amazon finds… and as I progressed I got better tools. I think it would have been silly for me to buy a planer before I was actually sure I was really going to take this 𝕎𝕠𝕠𝕕𝕨𝕠𝕣𝕜𝕚𝕟𝕘 thing seriously. But again, to each their own!
That is one of the nicest beds I have ever seen - I love all the angles you incorporated, and the genius way you spaced out the headboard slats to allow for expansion - brilliant. Congrats on the build and the new shop. I built a bed for my daughter out of mostly yellow birch last fall and used the same Rockler bed rail fasteners, and very happy with them. My favorite part of the video was you explaining why 0.5 mm matters. "You don't care but I care." Spoken like a true woodworker 🙂
Thanks so much! This hardware is the best… Funny story, while assembling in his room I had that red triangle to make sure the side rails were square… he then took the square and started checking all the corners in our new house… he was shocked that they didn’t build our house perfectly square! That’s when I had to explain the difference between a woodworker and a carpenter 😂
Beautiful. I love the idea of placing dowels at the edge of the timber to make screws strong. Genius. BTW, I wish we could get these videos more frequently.
Glad you like it! Just have lots of family stuff going on. I wish I could make more videos too. But they are more important than making these videos… ha.
That bed is leaps and bounds better than anything you'll find at Ikea or any of the other big box furniture stores. A lot of careful thought and hard work.....and love.....went into that. Excellent.
Great video. One idea: I mark the inside rail every foot. The marks help ensure the slats remain parallel and at right angles to the stretchers. One more idea: IKEA sells bed slats for different mattress sizes. I think they are called Luroy and cost only $30. That’s cheaper than buying slat wood. The IKEA slats work very well. One spacer on each end (four in total) is all it takes to use these slats since they are attached with a semi-stretchy material.
Beautiful build, and that dowel trick is genius! Woodworkers source is the bomb. I'm fortunate to live near one of their warehouses and the folks there are so nice and helpful. I understand both sides of the domino thing. I don't think the people who are disdainful of the tool are necessarily envious or anything. It's more about the fact that dominos are so effective at a lot of things that they take a lot of the problem solving out of woodworking. Dominos eliminate M&Ts, dowels, biscuits, and a myriad of other joinery tricks. This is great for productivity, but it does put some distance between yourself and your audience, because the folks at home are solving a host of other woodworking issues that you simply don't have. Similar thing with the Origin or with a CNC. There's nothing wrong with using them, but I learned a lot more watching Mike Farington's tricks for using a router and hand tools to cut dovetails by hand than I've learned watching other people use CNCs to make similar joints. Again, there's nothing wrong with the tools, rock what you got. In my opinion it makes the content a bit less entertaining/informative, but you've got enough other stuff going that I'll still be watching.
I keep going down the list to previous bed builds and I'm sensing that they just keep getting better by how you always refer to a previous bed you struggled with😅😎👌🏿 It's amazing to see your progress
I remember my woodshop teacher in 9th grade teaching us about using stop blocks on the tablesaw to avoid kickouts. (props to Mr. Rizor!) Of course someone proved this later in the year taking a big piece of plywood to the abdomen from a kickout.
I laughed out loud with the outtake of you hugging your Domino! I feel the same way. So fortunate I was given the opportunity to borrow one on my first project. That sold me and I’ve been able to do far more in less time in my small shop.
Looks amazing. Great job! I thought I was seeing things. I had to rewind the video a couple times to figure out why you were raising your leg up. Then I realized that's how you were turning the saw off. Ninja moves!
HibTamar, great build. Dowel inserts is a good solution. I struggled with the problem of screwing through the end grain when building a table with castor wheels. I solved the problem by welding a u channel piece to the top of the castor wheel top, so each castor has a cup into which the each table leg sits. Then I could screw sideways instead of into the end grain. Your solution is simpler and I like it. But still has the tiny possibility of creating cracks in leg, especially if the quality of timber is not good. But I like the idea, and can think of many cases where it would be simple and nice solution. Always good to know different ways of solving a problem.
Glad to see you using your Domino. I love mine and recently bought the trim stop, so I could use it for repetitive cuts in narrow pieces and it worked perfectly! It took me about three years to convince myself that I needed a Domino, having tried several other methods in the meantime with various degrees of success and failure. The cost was a big hurdle or so I thought, but in the end a dealer sold me a new one for less than used ones were selling on Ebay. It is a great machine and now something I use all the time.
I have never known or heard of a lady having this such an amazing skill with timber. Love your videos and know your husband must be a very lucky man. Why buy furniture when your wife can make things with her hands. Whao and amazing work God bless
Tamar I'm seriously impressed with this build (design and execution). But then again its easy when you have a DOMINO. I know cause I have one myself and I make awesome stuff all the time 😇
I bought the smaller Domino tool 2 weeks ago. I love it. So much faster and more accurate than a dowelling jig. I still have a lot of learning on its uses apart from flat face frames.
I'd say for a hobbyist like myself it also makes sense to get a domino. I don't have a lot of time to spend in the shop and I imagine a DF500 will speed a lot of things up so I can spend more time on the fun parts of woodworking such as sanding and finishing!
Yes! Totally! There are 2 different types of hobbyists though. Ones that want to crank out projects to see the finished result. And ones that want to take their time and enjoy the process of making more than the end result. To each their own! There’s a tool that fits every lifestyle. Ha
@@3x3CustomTamar ha if I take any more time I’ll never finish anything! I do enjoy the process of making a lot, but generally have projects that at some point need to see the light of day :) I’m getting myself one for Christmas ;)
Tamar, I like the idea of putting a dowel through the end of the board to drill into end grain like you did for screwing into the end grain. I will use that idea when I need it. As always great video. Your biggest fan, keep up with the great stuff and congrats on the new shop and house...
The dowel idea is a pretty cool trick I have never seen before. Any reason to use it compared to threaded inserts? Your son saying I love you mommy at the end
Please stop apologizing to viewers for owning a domino tool. You're a professional woodworker. I personally tune in to see you create these awesome pieces the way you like to do them, with the tools you like to use. I don't get anyone who doesn't like your videos out of envy or whatever.
It’s a weird thing. It’s like watching a cooking show and the chef has a $10k oven and you think… I can’t make that bc I don’t have that oven… well… you do have AN oven… or a stove… or a grill… or a firepit outside… 😂😂😂 So yeah, I don’t get it either, but the comments definitely roll in as soon as I use it!
@@3x3CustomTamar people that complain you have a tool that's not at their disposal aren't professional woodworkers. If they were, they'd either have the tool themselves or would understand there are alternate ways to get the job done.
@@shlatekkin and being not professional disqualifies one from having feelings ? I am not a professional and don't get upset either, but others might be less secure in their skin and I think Tamar has just the right tone here saying it's do-able in xyz way without the "all hail festools" :D (not being confrontational here at all ;) )
I’m pretty sure your son won’t care what tools were used to make it. ;) What I am sure of is he will remember his wonderful mom BUILT him his very own bed and will treasure it/that memory forever.
As someone who just recently spent a considerable amount of money on walnut for a way smaller project: Beautiful bed and it really makes sense you want this to last long. Definitely not cheap.
An absolutely brilliant video and a wonderful end product. So impressed. Love that dowel end grain tip. Very useable in the real world to people less skilled than you doing less impressive projects. Thanks!!
That bed turned out awesome. I'm just a hobbyist woodworker and I have a domino to. You don't have to apologize for your domino. I love watching your videos and enjoy them greatly. And thanks for all your wonderful tips. Keep up the great work.
Please make that video about the bed rail hardware, as it would help a lot of folks. I'm in the middle of this task and it's not easy. I used a router guide bushing, a 1/4" spiral upcut bit, and a custom slotted jig to cut the shallow mortises for the mating hardware. It took several tiny depth adjustments and some chisel work to get those mortises just right. For the narrow, deeper slots that receive the metal hooks, I ordered a 5-mm spiral upcut bit and used the router table for extra control. Once again, the key was precise adjustment. Next time I'll order your adjustable jig.
Supercool project. What a great opportunity to share the creative process with your children, Tamar. Those lessons will last even longer that the bed. Thanks for sharing. All the best.
Wow, what a beautiful bed. You are a talented woodworker. Keep up the great work. I did not know about screwing into end grain. This tip will be very helpful.
A very nice simple yet elegant design. Crazy how a few angles here and there can add so much visual interest. Neat trick using the dowels for screw backing. That's something I haven't seen before. Thanks for sharing!
This video is perfect for me as I'm in the design process of building my own bed. The free-floating shelves are a great idea (1 that I will be incorporating into my design as 1 side of the bed isn't big enough to have a bed side unit). The bed rail hardware looks like a great idea, here in the UK most wooden beds require assembly with long carriage style bolts through the end grain which puts a lot of pressure on the wood itself and using the dowel to drill into is a great little idea.
I’m blown away! I love your work so much. I love this build and your family is lucky to have you. (For the furniture and the role modeling!). My dad made a lot of our furniture growing up and I love his pieces still. The floating nightstands are clever, a huge space saver, and look great!
Finally a new video. Thank you! I tought there was something wrong with youtube and it doesn't let me know when you post. I'm learning so much from you!
Amazing project. Your kids are right, amazing bed ! Yes, you used a Domino, if I was tacking something like that I'd want one too. Just such a headache free solution.
I'm always impressed by your ingenuity. When you're working on a project and you wake up in the morning, is your mind in 'design mode'? I made a bed last year for my adult daughter last year loosely based on a bed I saw on Bourbon Moth. I like the hardware you used so much more - it looks much sturdier. I know the most rewarding part of this build was "Amazing bed, Mommy!"
Wow I'm sure your kids are proud and happy! That was lovely, I'm not brave enough to make my daughter's bed but hopefully after practicing and watching this video, I might give it a try, very inspiring...
What a great project to test the new shop layout and tools.👍 I know you get a ton of comments about your addiction to the Domino, but it doesn't need to be surgically removed, so I don't really see the problem.🤪🤣 Besides, any trim router or typical router plunge or standard can do the same thing or even a drill and chisel if a person prefers. This project actually showcases the benefits of having certain specialty tools and why they are worth having. We all buy things that others would never pay that much for, so personal preferences are just that... Personal.😉 I prefer the drill and chisel method because most of my work is on the job without the luxury of shop tools or the protection that shop provides, not to mention the extra loading and unloading of those additional tools. Just consider the Domino your favorite comment generator because you know someone will always make a comment. 😁 The online material ordering is only as good as the company you are dealing with. The materials you received are far superior to anything I can get shipped here to Hawaii. Unfortunately most companies ship me their junk or seconds because the return shipping is not worth the hassle. 😒 If companies are even willing to ship in the first place. This is just the reality of living in a remote location. Personally I prefer hand selecting my materials unless it's a whole unit and then you get what you get. Wonderful project!👌 I'm sure this one will be in the family for a very long time. By the way, good seeing you find a bit of time for a project, especially with a full house.😉🤙
Nice work. I've been wanting to build a bed my self. I always figured the center support could have a caster in order to make it mobile, and you wouldn't have to worry about breaking off your support beam during movement.
This is perfect. I've been pondering a bed design. Also making out of solid walnut. And then VOILA! So much easier and it looks amazing. Thanks for the plans!
Love it. I have been watching your channel for a while, and it is fantastic to see how your experience and tool collection has grown over the years. Keep up the great work!

Those dowels were seriously one of your best tips yet. In the past, I've solved similar problems by either using metal threaded inserts (and hardening the surrounding grain with thin CA), or going through the enormous effort of cutting in a bridle joint. This is so much simpler, just as effective, and can be done with a blind hole for an invisible result.
Not only that, but they'd work well in a repair. Keep up the great work.
So glad you like it! I knew it needed to be solved when the feet on the center supper rail broke on the first bed I built…

@@shlatekkin and being not professional disqualifies one from having feelings ? I am not a professional and don't get upset either, but others might be less secure in their skin and I think Tamar has just the right tone here saying it's do-able in xyz way without the "all hail festools" :D
(not being confrontational here at all ;) )
I’m pretty sure your son won’t care what tools were used to make it. ;) What I am sure of is he will remember his wonderful mom BUILT him his very own bed and will treasure it/that memory forever.
Agreed don't apologize for your tools.
As someone who just recently spent a considerable amount of money on walnut for a way smaller project: Beautiful bed and it really makes sense you want this to last long. Definitely not cheap.
Excellent!! Been awhile since I’ve caught your videos. Glad you are settled! The bed is amazing.
An absolutely brilliant video and a wonderful end product. So impressed. Love that dowel end grain tip. Very useable in the real world to people less skilled than you doing less impressive projects. Thanks!!
Glad you liked it! Thanks!
That bed turned out awesome. I'm just a hobbyist woodworker and I have a domino to. You don't have to apologize for your domino. I love watching your videos and enjoy them greatly. And thanks for all your wonderful tips. Keep up the great work.
Glad you like them!
Gorgeous bed! I really liked that tip about adding dowels into pieces where you're screwing end grain. That's super helpful!
So glad you liked it!
Gorgeous bed, and gorgeous lumber! 😁
Thanks so much! I love being able to showcase the grain in this way 😉
Please make that video about the bed rail hardware, as it would help a lot of folks. I'm in the middle of this task and it's not easy. I used a router guide bushing, a 1/4" spiral upcut bit, and a custom slotted jig to cut the shallow mortises for the mating hardware. It took several tiny depth adjustments and some chisel work to get those mortises just right. For the narrow, deeper slots that receive the metal hooks, I ordered a 5-mm spiral upcut bit and used the router table for extra control. Once again, the key was precise adjustment. Next time I'll order your adjustable jig.
I’ll def work on it!
I’m just amazed at your knowledge and talent.
That dowel trick is so cool
Supercool project. What a great opportunity to share the creative process with your children, Tamar. Those lessons will last even longer that the bed. Thanks for sharing. All the best.
☺️☺️
Wow, what a beautiful bed. You are a talented woodworker. Keep up the great work. I did not know about screwing into end grain. This tip will be very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Really, really nice work. The walnut was a perfect choice.
Thanks so much!
I really like this bed. But even more I am so happy you protect your kids.
A very nice simple yet elegant design. Crazy how a few angles here and there can add so much visual interest. Neat trick using the dowels for screw backing. That's something I haven't seen before. Thanks for sharing!
So glad you like it! Yeah… the first iteration was square… then I was like, what if I add angles! Totally changed the look for the better
This video is perfect for me as I'm in the design process of building my own bed. The free-floating shelves are a great idea (1 that I will be incorporating into my design as 1 side of the bed isn't big enough to have a bed side unit). The bed rail hardware looks like a great idea, here in the UK most wooden beds require assembly with long carriage style bolts through the end grain which puts a lot of pressure on the wood itself and using the dowel to drill into is a great little idea.
I’m blown away! I love your work so much. I love this build and your family is lucky to have you. (For the furniture and the role modeling!). My dad made a lot of our furniture growing up and I love his pieces still. The floating nightstands are clever, a huge space saver, and look great!
Thanks! My grandfather did a lot of things in my house growing up
This bed is absolutely gorgeous, well done
Finally a new video. Thank you!
I tought there was something wrong with youtube and it doesn't let me know when you post. I'm learning so much from you!
Haha nope. It just takes me a while to actually build projects with other stuff going on in my life
What a success! Aesthetic, form & function. Simply beautiful. Love this piece.
So glad you liked it! Thanks!
Amazing project. Your kids are right, amazing bed ! Yes, you used a Domino, if I was tacking something like that I'd want one too. Just such a headache free solution.
Love the design, love the features. So well built.
Thanks so much!
Beautiful can be functional as well... My, how I enjoy watching you design and build... Thanks for sharing!
So awesome to hear!
You make great job really 👍 it to watch congratulations
Thanks!
Great Video. Love the B roll with your kids helping you. That will inspire them so much in the future. Thanks for your content.
Amazing work, that bed is beautiful
I'm always impressed by your ingenuity. When you're working on a project and you wake up in the morning, is your mind in 'design mode'? I made a bed last year for my adult daughter last year loosely based on a bed I saw on Bourbon Moth. I like the hardware you used so much more - it looks much sturdier. I know the most rewarding part of this build was "Amazing bed, Mommy!"
Haha. No, my brain doesn’t start working until the afternoon… it’s full speed at bed time 😂
This is really a project I have in mind for a long time. I think I might go for it. Walnut looks gorgeous
It was lovely to watch beautiful family time and awesome work 👏
☺️☺️👍
Great job!! Know you are loving that Sawstop! I bought a Domino earlier this year when I was building a table for my son -- my new favorite tool!
I regret not getting it sooner!
Wow I'm sure your kids are proud and happy! That was lovely, I'm not brave enough to make my daughter's bed but hopefully after practicing and watching this video, I might give it a try, very inspiring...
What a great project to test the new shop layout and tools.👍
I know you get a ton of comments about your addiction to the Domino, but it doesn't need to be surgically removed, so I don't really see the problem.🤪🤣
Besides, any trim router or typical router plunge or standard can do the same thing or even a drill and chisel if a person prefers.
This project actually showcases the benefits of having certain specialty tools and why they are worth having.
We all buy things that others would never pay that much for, so personal preferences are just that... Personal.😉
I prefer the drill and chisel method because most of my work is on the job without the luxury of shop tools or the protection that shop provides, not to mention the extra loading and unloading of those additional tools.
Just consider the Domino your favorite comment generator because you know someone will always make a comment. 😁
The online material ordering is only as good as the company you are dealing with. The materials you received are far superior to anything I can get shipped here to Hawaii. Unfortunately most companies ship me their junk or seconds because the return shipping is not worth the hassle. 😒
If companies are even willing to ship in the first place.
This is just the reality of living in a remote location.
Personally I prefer hand selecting my materials unless it's a whole unit and then you get what you get.
Wonderful project!👌
I'm sure this one will be in the family for a very long time.
By the way, good seeing you find a bit of time for a project, especially with a full house.😉🤙
So glad you like it! Slowly getting my space together
@@3x3CustomTamar Now all you need is a little time.🤪🤙
That is a gorgeous bed, fantastically well done Tamar!
Thanks so much!
Nice work. I've been wanting to build a bed my self. I always figured the center support could have a caster in order to make it mobile, and you wouldn't have to worry about breaking off your support beam during movement.
That would be a good idea if you need to live your bed often. But generally you want your bed not to move…
Those floating nightstands are a awesome idea. Bet looks amazing,he is so lucky to have a awesome mom to build him one.
☺️☺️
Simple but efficient. Good work !
Wow, nice design, Tamar! Must admit it'll take some getting use to seeing you in your new shop, instead of that old and cold garage!
Haha! It’s been so nice to work on a hilly mornings without being chilly. I can’t wait for winter! 🙌
This is perfect. I've been pondering a bed design.
Also making out of solid walnut.
And then VOILA! So much easier and it looks amazing. Thanks for the plans!
Haha awesome! Good luck with it!
That looks amazing and I love the project packs Woodworker’s Source sells.
Thanks! Yeah. They are awesome
What a beautiful bed! Thank you for the tip about Woodworkers Source!
so many great tips in this video! thank you for the ideas!
Awesome to hear!
Beautiful! I love the floating night stands.
Thanks! So glad you like them!
The bed looks fantastic.
Thanks so much!
Love it :) Never regret watching your videos in their entirety!
So awesome to hear ☺️
Love it. I have been watching your channel for a while, and it is fantastic to see how your experience and tool collection has grown over the years. Keep up the great work!
Thanks so much! It’s been a while ride. Ha
Hi Tamar...it is an amazing bed ...Who want's to wake up in a bed like this (with this mattress also)...I loved all tou did here...congratulations from Brazil
So glad you liked it! Thanks!
Great project. Very well explained, presented and designed.
Thanks so much!
Great design Tamar. Really love your idea of the slide in night stands. So elegant.
Thanks! I was excited when I thought of it. I was even happier when I realized they worked in reality. Ha!
Que bonito diseñó, inspirador. Felicidades.
Wow! Incredible build. That subtle edit when ripping the slats was great too.
Your kids are super lucky to have you as a mom! Congrats🎉
