Hey, thanks for showing the process. I particularly liked how you pinned the tenons for the headboard....I've been looking for ways to allow for wood movement with a laminated headboard. Now I know!
Beautiful design and craftsmanship. Always learning new tips and techniques, also good to see you cut your mortise and fit the tenons, I always hear no you cut the tenon first so seeing a pro/ classic educated craftsman doing it makes me feel really good : ) Because I’m the type that what ever works best for you that’s fine. Take Care and can’t wait to see the new addition.
Two versions of the old saying. "Happy wife, happy life" and "Ain't Mamma happy, Ain't nobody happy." Both mean the same, keep the most important person in your life happy!
Another great build from a local master. Always interesting to see your approach to traditional furniture crafting. I am constantly in awe. We are doing a 4 post bed and I certainly rely heavily on more modern tools (aka CNC technology, festool, etc). I also do not have your hand working skills with chisels and planes! Always make me ponder if modern technology is considering cheating or perceived as a lower standard of craftsmanship. Anyway, another nice job Andy!
Casper has no hassle on the return. But how do you send it back? In my experience, once it's expanded, there is no sending it anywhere. Does casper somehow let you bring a fully expanded king size mattress to UPS (how would i get it there in the first place?) and ship it back to Casper? Need details here.
Love the frame! great job! have to say though Casper gets a thumbs down from me, I liked mine for maybe 200 days I have had it for 2 years now. I need to get a new bed.
Hey Andy, pro tip for ya! Laying something flat underneath your mattress on top of the slats is a MUST! By leaving the slats exposed you’re causing your mattress to lay on an uneven support system. This causes the gapped parts to lack the structural integrity they require to give you the good nights sleep you both deserve. Since there isn’t a base, sidewalks, coil core, or any other structural component, the foam just sinks right into those weak spots. If you lay something solid and flat underneath your Casper mattress I’m sure you’ll notice a difference right away!
Andy, when I was a kid I spent all my summers on my Aunt and Uncles farm in N. Central Arkansas. In the old log cabin, which was built shortly after the Civil War, there was my great great grandparents bed which was made out of Hickory, but it had no nails or screws. It was held together with wooden wedges and pegs. Have you ever made anything like that?
What type of wood did you use for this bed? I’m sort of new to woodworking and would like to make one in the future. I’m not sure if I should use pine or a harder wood.
Hey I’m starting my own little workshop and crafting things and I’m wondering what wood I should buy for stuff such as plant pots cabinets u know simple things like that I heard pine is pretty good anyone?
Hey amazing bed, congrats on the kid! Also FYI I been sleeping on memory foam for years. You really need to lay a solid plywood platform down. If not the bed confirms to those slates and can actually hurt you in the end. Hope that helps man :) amazing build super inspired the way you bolted the legs on with the tenons is great idea. I may do that on my bed build.
Andy, I may have missed something but will wood movement be a problem in the headboard? I saw you glued both tenons in place. Is rift sawn white oak stable enough across that width? Please don't take this as a criticism of your work, because it is outstanding.
@@tynorth1 Unfortunately not, slates provide not only suspension, but also air circulation, thereby discharging moisture. But I agree about the space between them.
Berghaus true. A few holes through the ply would be beneficial for air circulation. The plywood on top of the slats would just be able to take the place of a box spring/foundation. With proper spacing in the slats, the mattress would take on a plusher feel without the plywood.
"Every morning there's a halo hangin From the corner of my girlfriend's four post bed I know it's not mine but I'll see if I can use it for The weekend or a one-night stand" sorry first thing that popped in my head lol great work as always!
Gidday Andy the 4poster bed was beautiful a simple but elegant design. Just one thing Andy I'm not quite sure how to say this Andy coz I love watching you work Ive been watching it from day one it's, kinda funny coz I'd already watched a project you were working on then Mr Matt demolitia carriker said go follow this guy & well a lot of us did, you're an amazing, talented dude Andy but do you think it's right that we should have to pay to hear your voice. Either way mate I will still watch every vlog you put out for those reasons I outlined above, love your work brother. RustyinOz
Thanks for the feedback. The memberships include longer un-edited videos with the voice overs. I also do a monthly live stream so there’s some added value there. I don’t want to change my style of video and include voice overs, I think it would hurt my channel so that’s why I decided to do the voice overs as extra content. As of now it’s experimental and I may stop in the future. I do still include the closed captions with some added info.
@@AndyRawls thanks Andy I didn't realise there was extra content my bad. You're right about channel I like it unspoken I don't know it's just you & the woodworking speaks for itself it's brilliant. Thanks Andy for putting me back in my place. Can't wait for next vlog. Thanks mate. RustyinOz

Whats the point of the posts? I think it would look a lot better without them. I mean its still a great piece but those posts make it look like it was build in like the 1800s
Love that there's no talking. Watching you work is enough.
Congratulations on your new child. I will keep you ALL in my prayers. You are, I’m sure, a Great Dad.
Very Nice bed also.
I love watching you work, its so soothing. You do everything with such grace.
Verry nice build. LOVE the classical inspired modern design.

Turned out beautiful well done
Absolutely beautiful work! That bed turned out amazing, I've been thinking about building a bedroom set for the wife. We've had ours since 2010...
Awesome job Andy!

Mike Gray-Ehnert how about both man and wife keep each other happy? Why is it only "happy wife, happy life"?
you are truly a skilled carpenter, love your vids.
Your work is always great, Andy and this is no exception.
I am amazed at the progress that you have gotten done. This is an awesome process to watch. God Bless You!
“Happy wife, happy life” great build Andy. Looks great.
Beautiful work man! So cool!
I'm finally building my wife the bed I promised 40 years ago. Better late than never. Nice build. Congrats on the new baby.
Thanks for sharing, Andy! Best to you and yours!

That mortiser is such a time saver. Once again Andy., Love the work you do. Happy wife, Happy life bud.
amazing video but I wanna ask you something ??? do you have an Amazon link for the bed bolts and nuts?? where I can found it

I see now on your website that you have used white oak. Would like pine be strong enough?
Custom AR hat looking baller!
That is some fine woodworking, I’m interested to know how you connected the rails on top of the posts
Happy wife is a happy life is the saying you may have been thinking of. Awesome bed though
Awesome bed man, that Casper looks alot lighter than our purple mattress.
Perfect. Best wishes 😊
Haha haha!!! Can't stop laughing..... "You know the saying, a happy wife is a good thing. I think that's a saying." Haha Happy wife happy life buddy!
nice work!

great job on the bed I think it goes a happy wife makes for a good life

I actually didn’t glue the bottom tenon but just pegged it. There would be an issue if both tenons were glued.
You are the best bro.
Beautiful job on the bed. What type of wood did you make it out of?
This is such nice work. Hell of a good job. BTW it's happy wife happy life
Happy wife is a happy life😂
Great job
Great video, but even greater design, I love it...can I ask was your design process?
You may want to decrease the distance between the slates. That bed is 100% foam so, you may notice the mattress sinking between them over time.
Would plywood over the slats be better for these types of beds?
HolleWood Furniture yup. Mattress manufacturers usually want a maximum of 1 1/2” between the slats. A sheet of plywood would work great.
@@tynorth1 Unfortunately not, slates provide not only suspension, but also air circulation, thereby discharging moisture. But I agree about the space between them.
Berghaus true. A few holes through the ply would be beneficial for air circulation. The plywood on top of the slats would just be able to take the place of a box spring/foundation. With proper spacing in the slats, the mattress would take on a plusher feel without the plywood.
I just picked up an old mortiser like yours. How are you liking it so far?
Nice! What species of wood?
Do you have is sketchup file of the chairs that are in the background?
What is the next machine you are going to refurb? I think you should look for an old crouch/ritter edge sander.
I really need a new lathe but not sure I’m up for another restoration.
Sponsored by Casper, every ad during the video, Purple. TH-cam with the jokes.
Andy, now i'm going to build my bed selfmade. Thank you for the inspiration and the " how to "
Hi great video love to watch you making everything. Can you send me a link to the bolts you used please

That's some nice oak (I think?). What did you use for finishing?

Great work sir! Best of luck on the birth, prayers for you and your wife (mostly your wife!)
Thanks you for that!
What router bits are you using... they look extra long

Buiulding a four post bed
Was I the only one who caught that?
I’m slow please explain
@@hbcgraphics5058 the title of the video
Ethan Avery what about it?
@@hbcgraphics5058 he spelt building wrong
He did an amazing job on it though
Use your domino we one of their dominos and that will give you an idea of how to fit joints
Is this scale-able to a twin sized bed?
I’m not sure the proportions would look right for a twin. I think it’s even tough to scale up to a king...this bed is best suited at the queen size.
Nice!

Was for a minute, I had to binge watch some other music to change that hahahaha
I should have played it at the end!! Why don’t I think of these things
I think we are both kidding Andy, no worries.
It’s happy wife happy life but close enough
Happy wife, happy life.
