Very easy! 66+7+1+1.5..... 66=your desired width 7= width of 2 2x4 1= thickness of two pieces of the half inch ply 1.5= thickness of the rough saw 3/4 material. For a grand total of 75.5”
He didn’t leave anything out at all. He told you it can be as wide as you want it to be. It could be the width of the mattress or frame. Or wider. Or all the way behind the nightstands…which is what he said. And you can make the return as deep as you want. He said he used 2x4 for the structure, so it would be at least that deep, and you could make it deeper if you want. He didn’t give measurements, because they’ll be different for your application. Make it the way you want to make it!
is the idea to attach the bed to the headboard, and the headboard to the wall, making a solid unit? or does the bed / headboard remain detached and floating?
tell pbs to leave new episodes available on the streamig app long enough for a working man to catch up. they took down most of last season before i had time to get into it.
Can anyone tell me why my four post bed headboard has two vertical pieces of wood on the back of it? It makes it unsightly to put it in any other position other than up against the wall! I have had two beds like this and searched the internet and TH-cam for a picture or an explanation, no luck!
Because trends don't really come into building a bed it personal taste. If someone likes this they'll keep it. You can make it solid and they could be sick of it in a year.
I would have cut costs big time and used OSB for the structure. Birch is way overkill, especially to not be seen. Plus have fun making this without a track saw...
@@chriswhite6882 yes,i m in an art class this semester first time ever. My art professor Sarah Christofferson is teaching me In person. What Tom has been teaching me through this old house & ask this old house. I also been watching this show forever...loll I learn alot from this house and one of favorite stations PBS in northern California. lol
Rebecca C Ramirez you’re welcome. It’ll help you find the correct” how to” videos on TH-cam. Also, keep in mind that many of the tools they use on these professionally produced shows, such as festool shown here, are the absolute top of the line tools, insanely expensive and typically have a far cheaper yet high quality brand for a fraction of the cost
No. Any straight edge. And if you search this same channel you’ll find two or three videos that Tommy has made on how to make a homemade circular saw guide out of to scrap pieces of plywood.
Tommy builds nice, solid, straight headboards for himself and his three kids, but then makes a crappy one using thin boards with huge gaps for Kevin. 🤔
Festool no longer a sponsor so started blurring their brand name? It's Milwaukee now? They gave up on blurring out the Festool on the last shot and missed it earlier hah
Looks "good" (I'm not a fan of the weathered/old look) until the wood expands/contracts seasonally and things start to break. No joints at all here, just glue and brad nails.
@@amsivertson It's an issue in all woodworking. Wood "breathes" whether it's inside or outside, regardless of species or age. The degree to which it affects anything depends on lots of factors, and many things built this way are fine, but it's always a risk.
@@bmay8818 lol yes I’m very, very familiar. And I live in an area with very severe winters and hot humid summers. And what you’re describing is not an issue **for this specific application**, even in a climate with such drastic swings in conditions.
I hate this weathered wood trend. I'm a kitchen installer and lately this stuff has become very popular. We install a beautiful new kitchen and then the client wants to cover the back and ends of the island with weathered wood because they saw it in a magazine or on some TV show and they believe all the oohs and aahs from the actors. Only problem is it looks like crap. It's splinters waiting to happen and will be a huge dust catcher and very hard to keep clean.
That rustic sawn look is really nice and it is authentic looking. It goes with older houses or modern houses. My Whole kitchen and that includes floors, ceiling, units, tables and windows are done in that woodwork style and everybody loves the look. It will still be there in 30 years time.
Nothing like TV carpenters to make shitty workmanship, poor fit and no knowledge of how to properly finish a workpiece a popular “upgrade” so long as you call it something catchy like “rustic” or “cowgirl chic”. Just as bad as all the “distressed” finishes.... you just painted something and then randomly took a freaking sander to it; my 4 year left to her own devices is like a freaking furniture finishing guru by those standards!
Trend is another word for style. Not everyone likes every style. To me over finishing wood isn't that attractive. I prefer rustic over perfectly fit, which is often just veneer over particle board. The factory made look isn't always appealing
CG Account veneer over particle board is a euphemism for garbage. Wood doesn’t need to be over finished, but it should at least not snag your wife’s hair in the head board when being put through the shaker challenge! Lol
So with your shop outfitted to the 9s with Festcool equipment, you won’t even clean up the edges for decent edge jointing? SMH. Just a big imposter veneer piece, cannot even get a video showing people how to do it right themselves because lord knows you cannot buy anything of decent quality anymore. Also, don’t put your dang finger over the top of the spot you’re shooting a nail into, gonna deflect one through your finger.
@@amsivertson I didn’t realize rustic mean crappy fit and finish; must be the latest casualty of the redefining of words. Well then, China makes tons of rustic stuff. I’ve mad plenty of projects with rough sawn material, you still joint the edges where you’re going to join them so the fitment is correct. Heck, our doghouse is built better than this.
@@Natedoc808 lmao. This is neither a woodworking masterclass, nor a linguistics lesson in the meaning of words 🤣🤣… it’s a DIY weekend warrior project. Plus… you’re wrong and you’ve missed the point anyway.
@@amsivertson to think that property joining pieces of material falls under “master class” level carpentry is the mindset and attitude of pure laziness, low quality, and low value, not to mention wasteful as it simply yields disposable items. Like I said, China makes lots of this kind of thing. Anything worth doing, is worth doing well. Takes the same amount of labor and material to do a crappy job as it does to do a good job, the difference is in the attitude of the person doing the work.
I've watched Tommy since I was a kid when this show started. Of all his projects I've seen this has to be the worst. There is nothing I despise more than Futurama aka Contemporary be it furniture or interior/exterior design. I'm a bit shocked as well as he's made so many good designs in the past. I never thought he would stoop to such a low level as this. Disappointed.
Can't clean it so it won't last long. And who wants a dirty smegged up headboard on their bed? Classic case of form over function. Please give us things that are practical. Not this HGTV crap.
Yup. Usually happens when there's a dropped frame and the editing software replaced it with the default red frame to signify that it needs to be replaced with a duplicated adjacent frame. Slippy editing.

Can you imagine him being a surgeon and telling other doctors what to do during a procedure he's so clear and direct a dying breed for sure.
Tommy embodies the practical yankee with superior craftsmanskills. Great to watch and inspiration for my videos too.
I'm from Poland and im saw almost all episodes. Every time i'm impressed Your formula, content and the way to put the knowledge forward. THX
jak się masz
Man I appreciate you guys. For more than the carpentry
Screw the headboard, I want this guys shop and tools!!
Tommy makes everything look so easy
All hail King Tommy. Master of all the wood in the world. Credits to Kev too
Yea him and norm are some quality carpenters. Even though I think tommy's title is technically general contractor hes still one hell of a craftsman.
ganymedeIV4 the kingdom is ran by many
I thought you were going to say "Master of the pin nailer."
Tommy, you’re the Master Craftsman.
That has to be the cleanest chop saw I’ve ever seen.
Great DIY weekend project. Tommy and Kevin, You Hit this one out of the Park !!
Kevin has fun building things with Tommy
Great job as always when Tommy and Sonny get to work together 😁
Can't wait to show this video to my husband! This will definitely be his next project for our master bedroom!
Tommy you left out a lot of information!. If I want my headboard to be 66" wide, how wide do I cut the plywood to allow for the return?
Very easy! 66+7+1+1.5.....
66=your desired width
7= width of 2 2x4
1= thickness of two pieces of the half inch ply
1.5= thickness of the rough saw 3/4 material.
For a grand total of 75.5”

🔮 I can see many splinters in your future!

That was answered in the video.
Good job guys
Great Work Boys !!!!
Just like in the movies, you never see him reload his gun!!
Awesome job as usual, thanks guys.
Excellent job 👍
Tommy is one of my favorites, but I think Kevin is hidding his light under a bushel basket. His
talent sneaks out now and then.
28cruzin you would have to learn working with cast of this show b
Sand and seal for sure.
Cool, would be cool to see the footboard addition or leave it, either way good job!
tell pbs to leave new episodes available on the streamig app long enough for a working man to catch up. they took down most of last season before i had time to get into it.
Wow, great work Thanks for share
Great job, I like it. Thank you
I trust Tommy with my life.
And all you need is 20 tubes of adhesive!
Yep
You're going to need that glue if you're planning to shake that headboard lol.
You won’t even use 1 full tube on this.
7:39 the Play Boy license plate. :)
Looks good. Rustic is the way to go :-)
Every Airbnb in Nashville has this headboard :-/
They are all fans of the show.
You guys are awesome 👍❤
What kind of bed frame are they using in this video?
nice work
Got some old barn wood.. Be nice project
thank goodness i found this clip!!! I'm making one of these for a friend!!!
7:15 doesn't look like 5/4 pine at all, like he says it is. Looks like a regular KD SPF 2x6. Am I right or wrong?
Looks like 5/4 to me. But you can use whatever you want.
I'm gunna do this but add some lights
Awesome, I loved it
Another good one Tommy :-)
Can anyone tell me why my four post bed headboard has two vertical pieces of wood on the back of it? It makes it unsightly to put it in any other position other than up against the wall! I have had two beds like this and searched the internet and TH-cam for a picture or an explanation, no luck!
awesome
1:15 let the tall man finish this
Looks great...I used the same wood for a feature wall in my kitchen in a herringbone pattern
Pic plz
What type of water based finish is that for the top piece?
So nice ! Out of trend in 3 years. Why not build it in solid, clean wood ?
Because trends don't really come into building a bed it personal taste. If someone likes this they'll keep it. You can make it solid and they could be sick of it in a year.
Would live a set of plans, so I can build one
You don’t need plans… everything you need to know is in the video.
I took a dump and ended up watching like 3 how to videos. My legs are dead, I’m just gonna crawl outside now.
comment made my day
I just did the exact same thing. -_- I have regrets
Can we use this as a table top?
It’s rough wood. But you could use other wood.
who made up the bed?
What happens to festo drill and sander and router
Love ❤️
Slick
I would have cut costs big time and used OSB for the structure. Birch is way overkill, especially to not be seen. Plus have fun making this without a track saw...
you can do thit with a circ saw just clamp a big ass peice of metal to it i do it all the time
Watch Tommy’s video on homemade ‘track saw’ circular saw guide made from 2 scrap pieces of plywood. In fact he’s made 2 or 3 of them on this channel.
Are there plans posted for this?
No plans needed - everything is in the video, and the specifics will change for your mattress size.
Father & son working as a team.
I wash your show over and over and don't get tired.
Why would you be tired from watching TV?
This is to kool! Im learning how to use saws like the mighter one....and uh jig one too...
thats awesome i hope you have a teacher remember to were saftey glasses and earplugs
Rebecca C Ramirez miter saw and the other is a track saw.

Tommy should rule the world.
14000 brad nails later a head board
lmao yeah but they had to get the mitered ends to match tight so it looked like a solid piece of wood
Why did the camera flash red at 1:06?
Dinesh Patel because the camera liked it
Do I need the $1000 Festool track saw for this project?
C. Alex Mateos nope a straight edge would work
nope $427 linear ft , reclaimed colonial shiplap from the bottom of the Mississippi river is recommended
No. Any straight edge. And if you search this same channel you’ll find two or three videos that Tommy has made on how to make a homemade circular saw guide out of to scrap pieces of plywood.
Tommy builds nice, solid, straight headboards for himself and his three kids, but then makes a crappy one using thin boards with huge gaps for Kevin.
🤔
Why not just rip the boards so they’re straight?
The gaps look like crap.
Rob L. True you could run one edge in a jointer then the opposing edge at the table saw
Did you miss the rustic part of the title?
This is a rustic look by design. If you don’t like it, then do what you want to fix it.
I really like it. Also check out Woodglut and plans.
Broke out the pro tools on this one.
Shows how to make a track saw.....uses Festool.
Can I buy it from you/can you make me one?
Festool no longer a sponsor so started blurring their brand name? It's Milwaukee now? They gave up on blurring out the Festool on the last shot and missed it earlier hah
