I made this headboard 5 years ago. Still using it. It looks amazing I get lots of compliments and sent several people to this link. Thank you!!!!
This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection th-cam.com/users/postUgkxkNYRBJuiJ6EwD-tQSAlxg0eFKsnR2cgz I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.
Just bought the wood. $88.08 @ Home Depot. Would have been more, but I have screws.
Nice project. Still can't buy an all wood headboard for under $100.
UPDATE:
I built it the headboard. Very good instructions.
In the comments, there were some questions, as to how to mount it. I mounted mine to a steel bed frame. The frame measures 60 1/2" across. The headboard is 62". So I split the difference. I measured in 3/4" from the edge to mount the legs. This way it lines up to the mounting point on the frame. The length of the legs, should also be cut to the height of the mattress.
Thanks for a great, simple project !
LOVE this!! Instead of staining it, that middle part is a great place to do a painting!! TY TY TY TY!!
Love this headboard!!! For those of you who don't have the necessary tools to cut the wood, Home Depot will cut it for free when you buy their wood.
The description section has been updated with lumber dimensions for alternative bed sizes: Twin, Full, King, California King!
+The Rehab Life can you please let me know how did you attach the headboard to the wall? is it just the mattress that is holding it up?
On the vid you kinda miscounted the amount for the 1x4. There should be 4 1x4 right? Not 3 1x4
No its correct. you'd have 3 96" boards, when cut to length all 3 give you plenty left over to cut the 20-3/4 pieces.
+squatchin77 yea I figured that out when I just did the project. Thanks anyway.
Why don't you update the price while you're at it? That way people won't be surprised by their bill when they go to Home Depot, seems kind of unfair to me.. I'm assuming it's because nobody wants to watch the $80 video?
These guys are great!! I built this headboard and put it in my daughters room whose off in college. EVERYBODY that sees this headboard LOVES it and are amazed that I, (well with your AWESOME video)...WE, did it!!
KEEP EM COMING!
Hoping you'll see this reply since so much time has passed. I'm actually making this now in my basement but I feel I did something wrong or it could be the boards weren't completely flat as I had to add quite a few more nails. I just came up here to take a break & re-watch this vid. I'll go back & flip the board over & pray it doesn't come apart so I can get the legs on...uuuggghhh.
Late to the game, but I made the queen size version with zero experience and no saw. Had the local lumber yard cut the pieces for me and tacked it together myself. It was more like $75, not $20, but either way, it came out awesome. Thanks!
I just finished this headboard project yesterday! It came out fantastic! I'm 45 years old and I have not built anything with wood since wood shop in high school ! This tutorial was well put together and easy to follow. The only thing I added was 2 additional 20 3/4" 1x4 on the front! My brother who works in construction made that one suggestion. It really firmed up the entire piece and prevented bowing of center 1x10 boards. So instead of one giant recessed square I have 3 equal in size. It adds a really nice look! Anyways I really have to thank rehab life for this video ! It saved me lots of money and resulted in something that looks like I paid a lot for !
i like it.
Neil Maille Do you have a picture so see what you mean? I have zero building skills
post a pic! Love to see it.
Well-organized video starting from beginning w/ supplies needed. Thanks for keeping it to the point, without endless chatter, and for showing process cleary. A helpful, nicely-executed video.
Used this to make my headboard for my college dorm and i love it! Yes, the price tag was definitely more than 20$ although I didn't search for any other lumber outside of home depot. Thank you so much!!!!
I got my wood and nails at Home Depot and left there spending $50. Though it's not $20 it's still a good buy. Really easy to put together. Love this
I just signed a lease to a furnished apartment next to my university. The bed doesn't come with a headboard, so I definitely plan on making this here in a week or two! Headboards, like this one, retail upwards to several hundred dollars, so this saves so much money with a tight college budget!
All I can say is I followed the directions and I am proud of my results. It was a little Christmas project. Thanks and Happy Holidays. Oh yea, in Georgia materials came out to about 80 bucks.
Wonder how much in 2021 😂☠✌🙈
In 2021, the cost is about $80 here in Louisiana for all supplies. I can't wait to do this. Have my supplies in the cart ready to go.
My first attempt at carpentry today, as the final step in a room remodel; and you guys made it possible! thank you!
I love their videos. Always easy to follow and give the materials needed. I have done a few of your projects and they are great. As for people complaining about the $20 price tag, maybe check as to the date this was made. Lumber might have been cheaper. Or better yet go and buy yourself a new headboard for a few hundred. So many complainers. Please don't stop making videos.
I made this! It’s beautiful and so easy! By far my favorite diy I’ve done so far! Thank you so much for sharing this!
Thank you so much for other dimensions! I will be making the full size for my son!
This was great! My dad and I built one today for my full size bed for my college apartment, (a little more expensive, bought our wood at Lowe's) and it took only about 2.5-3 hours to complete. Of course my dad is a handyman/wizard with wood so it was pretty quick and easy. Only thing I would recommend (as per request of my dad) is to add a really strong krazy glue to the wood along with nailing the boards together. It will last a lot longer that way! But amazing video, I love my new rustic headboard!
This headboard turned out beautifully! Love it.
Paid about $90 in Virginia. I didn’t stain it... I went ahead and painted it black. It came out very good. Easy to follow instructions. Thank you
@the rehab life Thank you for the video. I'm heading to HD to grab the materials to build my very first headboard! Please keep it coming.
I built this today. First project for me and enjoyed it. Now deciding which stain to use. Thanks for the easy instructions.
Buy far the best headboard video that I've watched. Moving into a new apartment in the fall and looking to do something like this. THANK YOU!!!
I'm building a Headboard for my daughter. You gave me a couple of different idea's to do now! Great job!
I just made this yesterday for my wife. $120 out the door at Lowes in PA. Just a helpful little fyi.
Thank you guy's so much for this, this was in 2016 so the price for wood cost more, again thank for this diy
Great super simple build. Keep 'em coming
I'm loving these DIY's, beautiful work 👍🏼
Thank you so much!!! I'm about to buil my first own headbord!!! It cost me around 75 $ here( since the wood is more expensive ...maybe my fault, a took cheap pine?) Hope it's going to turn as nice as your!-Marie from Montréal-
My lumber, from HD cost about $70! However, the price of a retail rustic headboard is ridiculous so this is a steal AND to be able to say you made yourself is priceless. Great instructions.
Completed this project today. Came out as expected. Thanks.
Building it now...totally wish we looked at the comments first because the materials cost around $80 but its something my husband and I are building together, so we'll be proud of something like this. Thanks y'all!
i made this a few weeks ago for my spare bedroom and stained it an antique grey. It was my first time ever building anything and it turned out great. I used it for a full size bed and missed seeing the adjustments for different bed sizes. It fits just outside the frame so we just added some wood at the bottom to bolt it to.
Alright, let's get the money out of the way. I spent a total of $34.98 on materials. The stain, sandpaper I already had. The boards that were used to trim out the head board were found out behind a loading dock. The rest of the wood and the bolts to attach it to the frame were all that was needed.
Now we can move on to the end result. Awesome! The only step I skipped was beating the boards with a pipe. The wood that I found was gouged enough the way it was. This was such a neat project and the video's step by step instructions were spot on for letting me put this together. If I could attach a picture I would. Kudos for helping me out on this one!
Hi can I ask what size finishing nails you used? I know they’re 2 1/2 inches but did you use size 8 or 10
@@moniqueserrano8518 8s should be more than enough for this project. Actually even 6-es.
Nick and Silke Jager did you attach to the bed and if so how?
@@Atlcst2 Good question! We set up the frame and then aligned the head board to gauge where to drill the holes. Our first set of bolts and washers that we used were way too small and it didn't take long for the headboard to become lose. We maxed out the bolt size by using the biggest ones that would work with the holes in the frame and we haven't had any problems since. BTW - The head board still looks great and we get compliments on it all the time!
You guys are Awesome, I Love all of your ideas and I Love the Rustic look. Thanks for your ideas, they are great for budget conscience folks who love rustic.
I found a really quick and easy way to distress boards like these, and you won't end up with what looks like a bunch of intentional marks all over the board, which is what we're all trying to avoid when distressing wood. Lay your boards in your driveway, dump a few handfuls of gravel over them (the more distressed you desire, the more gravel you can use) then just drive your car back and forth over top of the board(s). The gravel will make multiple small to tiny irregular marks and gouges wherever the gravel is laying on the board. You can do a few passes, move the gravel around, and do more passes until you get the amount of distressing you desire. It literally takes a coupe of minutes to get a very distressed look. Now obviously you're probably going to only want to use this with flatter boards, probably nothing thicker than 2 inches, unless of course you own a truck. But keep in mind, if you go much thicker than two inches, you risk the board kicking up and hitting your car as you roll onto or off the edge of the boards. I would love to see some things other people make using this technique. Now where I live here in Arizona, we always have an abundance of gravel since most of us have gravel instead of grass in our yards. Enjoy!
I love the functional simplicity of this design, well done... oh and good film making too. ;-)
Love this idea going to try it.Thanks
Simply beautiful this weekend we will be making this...Thank you so much
Thanks for watching!
I just finished it tonight!!! Thanks, it came out better than I thought
OMg! Finally! Thank you for sharing.
the best video I've seen on youtube about making a headboard. thanks so much for the details. they were very helpful
+Wilma Wagner - thank you!
I built one today. Bought everything at home depot for a total of 50.00. Very cool build indeed.
Made this for my bed. It is a RV mattress and is 48in wide. Cost 20.17. Looks great thanks for the idea.
Olá ! Sou brasileiro e acompanho seus vídeos sempre. Sou apaixonado por marcenaria.Parabéns pelos belos trabalhos!
I love this channel, amazing projects!👌🏻
On longer boards I'd recommend a 1x or 2x vertical backing board about mid-way down the back to prevent warping of the middle board
Looks great! You can take grip-tite nails and bend them in different shapes and tap them into the wood a little bit(laying them down) and it comes out looking like little worm tracks........I think you'll like the effect!
Ran a bit away with this headboard. Added galvanized piping on cap top of headboard for some character. Might remove to place on upper face of headboard to string lights. As always thank you so very much for sharing your designs!
OMG you guys are awesome! we have to move to a different state for work purposes and just the thought of moving everything is overwhelming. your videos give me such inspiration to just built a new dinner table and bench and island and shelves and head boards for our beds. love love love your videos! I totally subscribed!
My family and I just moved to a new state and we're starting all over. I'm excited to fill our home with furniture that I made. I hope you're move went well and you got to make some beautiful things. 😁
You guys freaking rock . I love all of your videos. They are easy to follow for dummies like me . Thank you .
Haha, thanks for watching!
The Rehab Life I actually just made the $15 bench and I love it .
You guys do amazing work! Thank you for sharing!
Boom!
It looks awesome thank so much for sharing and your so sweet to put the measurements for different size beds !!!
Thanks for putting all the measurements in really helpful.
Thanks for sharing this... made this for my wife and she loves it...
Glad it turned out great, thanks for watching!
Everything came up to $86.71 not $20 but I'm happy with the results! Worth it 👌🏽👍🏽
what size bed?
Alyamda the best way for you
FunAwesome! I'm not
On
What’s nice about this tutorial is that you show people the you can make one without any fancy tools. Thank you. The only one suggestion I would do is to use wood glue when attaching the 1x4 around the edge and the top shelf as well. It would just help it to stay together better. Also, a warning to newbies....take care when nailing that the nails don’t go through and you nail it to your floor! Oops!
Look forward to what you guys will post next
Awesome job!
I'm gonna try to make this for studio apartment, thanks guys. y'all earned a new subscriber. I hope you guys make more vids like this one.
+Kevin Morales Thanks! Send us a pic when it's done, we'd love to see it!
Thanks for the dimensions I just made my own using your video and I love it
You guys are super awesome. Thank you for sharing

I am brazilian and I loved your projects, I of course will gona do same mobiles! Congratiolations for your criativite!
I built it but it didn't align exactly with my bed frame so seeking another way to anchor . I whitewashed mine with a gray paint, after distressing it with steel wool and vinegar. It looks amazing. The HD near me didn't have 1" x 10" so I used 5-1" x 6" and it did great. Total cost was $76, including paint. HD didn't charge for any of the cuts! Great info.
just built this for my room in white!! Thank You!!!
I am in the process of making this for my new house and it is super easy! The only thing I will say is to get all the needed materials it was about $75-80 and I live in Ohio for reference and went to Home Depot. Also, PLEASE NOTE: YOU WILL NEED 4 1” by 4” by 8 ft pieces to complete this, not 3
The beat though! Lol
looks nice, you inspired me to make this type of head board along with a few other projects, ty, I would like to see you make an arts and craft style fireplace surround, the simplicity look seems that fits right into your style look forward to it, oh yeah, voices would be fun and that little pup steals the show every time,
With pine, you can always benefit from using a wood conditioner prior to staining to ensure a more even appearance.
The first starting picture had me hooked!!!
Thank you for the video. The headboard is so simple but looks so nice. Made a full size one for our guest room and soon gonna add the side table from your other video. Keep it up, you guys are great!
Thanks for watching, glad to hear the build turned out well!
Thanks for this! My headboard came out Great!
love this! I have been looking for a clear tutorial like this
+Adriana Holyoak Thanks so much!
Gorgeous! And easy! Great job
Thank you!
Thank you for the inspiration. Came out great!!!
Awesome thanks for watching!
I'm going to build this except I have 1x6's from a 7' pallet. Looking forward to this project, thanks for the idea.
Good luck with the build!
This is great!! Please keep up the videos they have so much information!!
+HEALTHY_HAPPY_LAURA Thank you, much appreciated!
excelent proyect congratulations.
Yea so it’s not $20 but the results were awesome and thanks for including additional dimensions. I️ was able to build this start to finish in under two hours. This does not take special tools so anybody can make it! Thank you!
How did you cut all the wood to the right dimensions without any special tools?
@@ashleymoak7775 Home Depot or Lowes will cut the wood to your specified lengths for you!
@@ashleymoak7775 You can literally use a $10 wood cutting handsaw and slice right through the boards.
I followed your instructions, and it came out
Beautiful. I was amazed, that it was so simple. Kinda heavy, and I’m not sure how to hook it on the wall.
This was EXTREMELY helpful!!
I made this for my cal king adjusted the measurement because I wanted a bigger one and added lighting the whole this did cost quite a bit but the outcome is amazing! love your tutorials can u guys do a storage bench for the end of a bed?
lovely job an I love your choice of music ... keep it up , you are showing me easy ways to make things , an most of all save lots of money an be proud of what i made .. thank you so very much , an have a bless day
Man, this is great! Thanks for all your hard work sharing your ideas and how to's! This headboard would go for so much $ on PB.com, now I can make it myself! Sweet!!!!
This is really good! Precise and to the point. Keep the great tutorials coming!:)
+Brown Butterfly Thank you, we will!
you guys are amazing , thx for the help.
parabens pelo trabalho lindo tudo que fazem. Vou fazer aqui no brasil
I would love if you guys could do a tutorial for a night stand. Nothing fancy, I just really like your tutorials and I would love to make my whole bedroom set eventually.
I just looked up the lumber prices at my local Menards store and it is 23.42 + tax. That is using standard 1x boards not select or premium but premium 2x4's. I already have the rest of the stuff but it would only be about 10 bucks more if I didn't. You could greatly increase the lumber cost by using select or premium 1x's but whats the point when you want a rustic end result, I think the video is excellent, thank you!!
Nice design for headboard.
Great video. It was just what I was looking for. I think adding wood glue would be a plus.
Beautiful and the headboard too. 👍☺
I'm using this guide this weekend, thank you. And I didn't know you guys were local? SUBBED
Love your videos 👍 Trying this one now ty
Some have commented its more than $20 and that was true for me, but it depends how much diy stuff you do. The wood and 1 pint of stain I bought to make a king size version of this was only $46 at Menards. So not bad. However, i have misc screws, nails, tools, etc... already. It was pretty simple and looks decent. I'm interested in making the rustic side tables to go with it. So I will get more use out of the stain.
I am by far NOT a professional carpenter but am learning to make useful things. Your channel is a big help. The projects both of you build are GREAT, including the dog. Could you build the complete bed showing the rails and everything needed in the near future? Dressers and a simple armoire would be fantastic, too. Thank you.
adoro. seus trabalho simplemente lindo.👏👏👏👏👍👄
Very nice!
Loved the model pose on the bed at the end
