ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ก.ย. 2014
- Here is a quick video of how I built a headboard for my wife with 95% pallet wood. I think it came out great and really gives the room a nice rustic look... which my wife loves:)
It is an easy project that any skill level can accomplish. Hopefully it'll give you an idea of what you might be able to build with some free pallet wood. As always, thanks for watching!

Finished mine today! Thanks for the video.. It turned out awesome!
Great inspiration. That looks amazing!!!!
Great project, looks fantastic!
Love the look of this project.
Beautiful. Looks so nice. A country feel.
This is a really cool project- Nice attention to details-like the little bits of advice on linseed oil to age the cut edges!
Love the look and design. I was thinking along the same lines as this project. I also love the rough look but I finish my pallet projects with a matte finish. Some gloss but mostly matte. Again, awesome build.
This video popped up in my feed (2 years old). Great content as usual.
Looks great!! Really like the idea
I love it it’s beautiful your wife will be very happy
I used this video as inspiration to complete my own pallet headboard today! Thanks for posting!!
Awesome to hear Macy! Glad you tackled it and now going to be enjoying the results:)
Super job!
Wow! Your "super simple project" looks Amazing! You and your wife will enjoy that headboard for years to come. It looks so great!

janeababe Thanks Janeababe!
Nice work , lots of cool detail ,thanks for sharing
thanks so much!
Joe
Great build! You should do a dinning room table sometime. Would love to see what kind of design you come up with!
Joe, you're a beast! (I mean that in the best possible way). Love the final product...
hahaha... thanks so much Dorothy!
joe
came out nice bro gonna try it and hope it comes out as good as this one
Hey!!... What´s up?... I´ve been planning to do the headboard since a lot time ago... but the way you do it in this video... encourages me to actually DO IT ( because looks so EASY! ). Thanks for sharing your amazing idea. I will do it... and I will share the picture!.
Looks good. Most pallet headboards I've seen look like, well... pallet headboards. I like how you finished the edges, I think that's the extra step that made it look like something you'd pay big money for at a furniture store. Might have to try making one myself one of these weekends.
looks awesome, hope wife was happy enough you got lucky haha
very nice! thank you for the video and inspiration!
Mark Saavedra Thanks Mark!
Gorgeous
Man, it's amazing what a pallet can turn into, nice work bro!
+John Stern thanks John!
joe
Looks amazing man! I've been wanting to create a wall in my house with a rustic wainscoting on it. This wood would work! Thanks for the idea!
Dorian Fajenski Thanks Dorian! I love the look of those walls too! I'm actually going to be doing something similar to replace the pegboard behind my workbench… just trying to figure out the system for mounting my tools on it… hopefully soon:) Thanks for watching!
Joe
You the man, good job like 👍
Dude that looks fantastic!!
Thanks so much Jeffrey!

Dennis Myles That's awesome to hear! Would love to see a pic or video of it!Joe
This headboard is EXACTLY what's in my brain trying to get out. Thanks to you, I now have a path to make it happen. Everything from your rain collection system to your picture frame. I really love every one of your projects. KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK! Your friend to the north in Mesa ;-)
+Shawn Neal Thanks Shawn! Great to have a local guy checking out the vids! Good luck on your headboard project... I'm sure it'll come out awesome:) Thanks for watching and the nice words sir!

Mike Greene Thansk Mike!
Nice job !! I have that Ryobi 18 volt impact . Best dang cordless drill I've ever owned . It's a beast ..
What I loved about Ryobi was when the Lithium-Ion batteries came out one did not have to purchase all new tools.
I really liked how you did the work and most of all the presentation, it was fast and to the point. The final project turned out well. I hope you make more such as this. I am making a headboard myself, not as fast ha ha but still think it will turn out well. I used fence material as its lighter and already is rough sawn and staining with a blue and gray stain. Its not as cheap as your to make but that wasn't my intention. Im also using 4x4 posts for each side and I'm going to attach it to the bed rails. Right now its solid boards across the whole width, I may cut it up a little as you did, I think that will look better.
Thanks again.
wow amazing congratulations ill do it
Once again a very nice pallet project!
ReclaimedPalletCreations Thanks RPC! I still want to build a pallet bar like yours (great proj too btw!) but just haven't got around to it yet. Anyways, thanks for the comment and I look forward to your next pallet project too:)
Joe
Thanks
That's a lovely headboard! I need a new headbaord, STAT and this looks like something I'd love to make. It suits my platform bed perfectly.

Thanks a lot for your answer, as soon as I can, I'll make this nice project, by now I have only the base of the bed.
Thans again!!!
Federico A No problem Federico! I'm sure it's gonna turn out great:)
Gotta make this bedhead , looks really great, thinking of tricking it up tho, going to add shackles and handcuffs ( bondage look) just to give everyone that sees it a shock factor 😂
Omaha Nebraska gal from Texas making a queen size headboard, thank for posting
Awesome! Glad you liked it Tygur!
Joe
Geez, do you by some chance happen to have a twin brother, who is as handsome and handy as yourself? Great job, what a blessed wife to have such a handy and handsome husband as yourself. Thank you for sharing this video. I am now a new subscriber.

Thanks Rick.. glad you like it!
Joe
Beautiful
Thanks Ally!
Great video! I'm a new subscriber! My husband and I have been thinking about building a pallet bed and this video gave us great ideas. :) Thank you for your work!
Allie Bland Awesome to hear Allie:) I hope your pallet project turns out great! I'd love to see a pic or vid when you guys get it done:)
Joe
Nice work mate👍🏼👍🏼
+Vick Gonzalez Thanks Vick!
beautiful frame
+Cathy Montano Thanks Cathy!
Can you give a list of what wood you used aside from the pallets. I would also like to know how you attached it for the base.
great job
Thanks so much Steven!
Joe
I like it ;)
I like the head board and I want one ....
I have (and probably most handy guys) have a serious love/hate relationship with Pinterest haha sometimes good for inspiration and on occasion can help with projects but more often than not it just stacks up your honey-do list!
pure genius
+Mannie kazares Thanks Mannie!
+homesteadonomics quick question how did you attach it to the bed frame? couldn't tell in the video.
Great work, I recommend you take the pallet to the car wash and power wash them before use. It can't hurt, thanks for the great example.
Dennis Myles Thanks Dennis... that is good advice, especially since it's hard to know what was stored on many pallets:) Thanks for the comment and for watching Dennis!
That's a great idea!
Great job! How did you mount the headboard? To the wall, or the frame.
genial
saludos desde Pucon Chile.
Thanks so much! Cool to hear from Chile!
Joe
Thanks :)
You could use old weathered fence boards too
Beautiful headboard. How did you make the corner pieces and how does the bed frame attach to the headboard?
Nice
This looks AMAZING! I am planning on doing this project this weekend with my husband. I do however have a couple questions. What do you use to mount it on the wall? How did you come up with the measurements for each piece of wood?Thanks for sharing this step by step video.
Misty Rowe Thanks Misty! For the mounting, I used wood screws through the top (at a downward angle) into the wall and for the legs (since they aren't flush to the wall like the top) I used simple 'L' brackets. And for the wood slats I really didn't measure them, I just laid out the pieces and cut them to fit. As you see on the video I put the first in, then I cut the second and third pieces where they wouldn't have their edges line up with the row above or below.
For the frame of the headboard I did use the width of the bed (queen, king, etc,.) to figure how wide I wanted it. And for the height I just eye-balled it to see what I thought looked good. I don't think you can go wrong with higher or lower though... just depends on what you like style-wise:)
Anyways, I hope that helps and I hope you guys love the final result of your project. We sure do! Thanks for watching Misty:)
Joe
How did you attach it to the bed frame to make sure it could withstand weight?
Thanks!
Jesse Byrd i think attaching it to the wall would be a good idea
Hermoso
sir your fly is down lmao
Desde Argentina saludos. Haré el mismo respaldo de cama. Gracias.
Great job! I wanna try to make a twin size one.
CJSchecter96 Thanks CJ! Would love to see how it comes out!Joe
homesteadonomics yeah I just took apart my pallet and hosed down the wood. how tall would you suggest to make it for a twin bed? It'll be 4ft wide but I don't know how tall it should be.
Hey CJ... mine is about 27" above the mattress and about 47.5" for the total height. Since your mattress is going to be narrower then I think you'll want to make it a bit lower in total height... maybe 36-40" or so. But I'd put some tape on the wall at a few different height levels and see what looks the best :)
Hope that helps and I'm sure it's gonna turn out out great!
Joe
thanks for the help man!
No prob CJ!
Hello! I was wondering if those are 2x4's you are using to make the frame?
Does the bed rails are attached to the board? And awesome job sir
Great tutorial! Thanks! What were your final dimensions and do you attach the headboard to your bed frame? I've never had a headboard, so I'm not quite sure how that works. Thanks!
***** Thanks Drew! The final dimensions were about 65"W by 46.5"H, with the pallet portion being about 32" of that height. As far as attaching.. you can attach to the bed frame or to the wall. I've attached mine to the wall but am planning to attach the frame to the headboard as well just so there's no wiggle/movement. Anyways, hope that helps if you decide to build one of these babies! Thanks for watching Drew!
for the corner trim pieces, did you just glue 2 pieces of pallet wood together, or did you nail them together first? very nice looking piece.
Very good project thanks for sharing...I have just started getting into the pallet wood building movement and I am noticing a lot of construction without the use of wood glue. Have you had any issues with the imperfect joints without glue applied to them?
James Wheeldon Hey James...Wood glue is almost always a good idea for wood projects... sometimes though with my pallet stuff I just get impatient and reinforce later with screws, etc,. But for joinery or something that might be a little more refined, I'd definitely say wood glue should be used. Anyways, I hope that answered your question and have fun on your next pallet project! I love seeing what I can get out an old pallet....thanks for watching:)
Joe
gr8 but cud you do a short video about how you fixed it to the bed frame? Cheers
