Fantastic workmanship, here!!! This is something to work towards.....and I'm a LONG way from it..... This is the difference between a craftsman and someone focused on hacks.... Subscribed!!
Andy, your process used to build this bed frame is outstanding. The use of the CNC and your hand tool methods are amazing. I think Robert is a very fortunate young man to be able to work as your apprentice. It’s a real pleasure to watch your videos, you are a true craftsman.
i love the direct contrast in the first minute taking the wood from the modern 2021 machine to the 100+ year old bandsaw showing how both old and new can be used together to create amazing work
You’re right,that’s a beautiful bed. I love how you took advantage of that very unique bit of a Texas pecan tree and turned it into a work of art. Great job and a great video.
Sleigh bed turned out amazing Andy, I particularly like the way you blended the vertical style with shellac and stain for a better colour blend, great trick! Tell Robert I said “ hey”. Glad your feeling better.
I just really enjoy your videos. Your skill and creativity is amazing. I'm impressed with Robert also. He's picked up a lot of skills from you. Thanks for such great content
I built a huge Red Oak table for an historic home in Sacto Calif. i used 5” DT with 8 degree slopes (I think it’s been 2 years) for the two 7’ stretcher boards. I hand cut them. Took a yr to build it cause I had other builds to do & just me. However; that bed is probably one of thee most stunning builds I seen a Builder do! I say builder cause your way more than a wood worker ! As a shot of encouragement I found as I got older I am way more creative and discerning ! Your already there only gonna get better!
Watching you and Robert work on this piece, I can’t imagine how you wold craft a piece like this without his help in the shop. Looks like a two man job to me.
When carving the panels, if you star with the concave face, you are left with 2 edges that are straight and parallel that you can use to rest your panel to carve the convex face.
Adjusting the blade angle WITH a board touching the blade, braver man than I... Nice work though. I'm in NW Louisiana and have harvested some old pecan orchard trees from various locations, and depending on a lot of variables, I've had some amazing pecan colorations. Deep browns to vibrate oranges and anything in between. It gets passed over a lot b/c it's so common, but as I'm sure you're aware, you never know unless you get it on the mill.
Hi Andy, great piece turn out spectacularly. The detail in your instruction is right on. I had a question on the center support. I noticed you didn't attach it to the foot or headboards? How were the slats (dove tailed!) attached to the center support. I watch all of your videos.
Your craftsmanship is amazing, I like the way you always incorporate hand tools in all your projects, in particular the use of the spokeshave, which spokeshave do you use specifically. Thanks
The bed looks awesome. I know the CNC bothers some people but it seems pretty obvious that you could have made the bed without it, no problem. Also it's interesting to see how it's not just pushbutton easy; you've had to figure out workholding and programming. I like to see the problem solving.
I see your sponsor ? I am 63 soon 64 and I remember saying what you are saying? After I raised my children I seemed to get a huge surge in energy ?? Plus diet change and help! Now I am a finish carpenter/contractor plus build special custom pieces for ppl in my small shop! I find I work harder or as hard than the 40 yr olds I run into! “Attitude”! You can set that dial everyday! “Faith” in a true God Christ and follow his principles ! My hair is still dark (praise God) hv some dark in my beard & its 5 am as I type after reading Gods word every, single day! No read! No feed! Brother pick up that Bible and dig! Amazing stuff!
Hi Andy you’re still doing such a great job, but I have a request as your fan. Can you turn back to those old videos on which you weren’t talking so much and nothing but just making wooden things. This was kind of ASMR for me, that content was absolutely amazing. Wish I could see it again. Greetings, fan from Poland😎🤟🇵🇱
Beautiful work Andy and Robert. Question: If the customer wanted some kind of design cut into the panels of the headboard and footboards, I'm guessing you could use your CNC machine. How elaborate of a design can be done and how hard is it to program into the CNC? I really enjoy your channel Andy and look forward to more projects. Cheers from this old retired coot living the dream in Tennessee.
I'm in the beginning stages of brainstorming a wall system to house stereo equipment, bookshelves, art display shelves and a way to hide the big screen TV 99% of the time when it's not in use. I've been pondering what wood to use, given the style of the house and furniture. Watching your video, I'm beginning to think pecan might be a great choice. Can I ask where you source it and a ballpark figure on the boardfoot cost for rough lumber? I did find a family-run operation in Lubbock; that's about a 5 hour drive for me, but might be worth it. Thanks in advance!
Man! That is one stunning work of art. Someone is going to be blessed sleeping in that night after night. Talk about a beautiful nights sleep. Great job Andy and Robert.
In the 13th minute of the video, when Robert is trimming the slabs on the tablesaw, there were a couple of times when he got what looked like too close to the blade, so I slowed it down and watched in .25x Yep. Especially the time he reached over the top of the spinning blade to move the offcut. Please discuss this with him; I want him to continue to be able to count to ten.
Right on, I was referring to what you said about going through some material while CNC cutting the matching curves on the pieces to accept the panels. Trust me you're doing much more complicated stuff than I get in into. I'm not a furniture builder, I've only built a couple pieces total. Thanks for all the awesome content!!!
First of all I love the bed. Beautiful work! Secondly, at 23:35 you use two centering pins on the router to cut the mortise. I've got the same Dewalt router and would love to find some of those pins. Any idea where to find them or what I should be searching for?
I really love the look of Texas pecan. Have loved all of your projects you’ve made out of it. Another favorite of mine is mesquite. Such rich natural color. I know it’s really hard and sometimes brittle but do you make any projects out of it?
Hi Andy, this isn't a criticism but the jury is still out on CNC machines, for me anyway but I'm an old fart who doesn't run a business.😁. Great looking Bed by the way and that Pecan is beautiful. Regards Jim UK.
It depends on why you think the jury is still out... CNC machines are objectively more efficient than hand tools and are also far more precise, you can literally see how little waste it produces.
@@QYXP probably the wrong way of saying it. I can send an email and watch RUclips but otherwise computers baffle me and I have no room for power tools never mind a CNC machine. Regards Jim.
That’s fair! I’m not sure I would use it if I was a hobbyist furniture maker. Although I’ve surprisingly enjoyed learning the CNC. Thanks for watching!
So much time spent on the curved M&T, I've got to sit and think: Is this a structural aspect of the piece? I don't think it's adding much strength (or necessary strength) for lateral racking, some strength on the loose tenons for vertical stability and alignment. As Impressive as it is to make that M&T happen, I just don't see it as a worthwhile endeavor.
I think that if you don’t need to be in the room when your parts are cut it’s not really carpentry. Then again I suppose one could make the argument that using power tools isn’t carpentry either which raises the question. Is there a limit to the amount of tools we can employ before we loose the essence of our craft?
Hey Greg, can’t make everyone happy unfortunately. I appreciate you tuning in and I hope you find some real woodworking videos out there in the digital world.

Absolutely Gorgeous! And that trick to cover the sap wood was awesome
As us,your craftsmanship is amazing and inspiring. Thanks for letting us learn through your hard work.

Love the Third Coast Craftsman shirt, Andy. You and Chris are among my favorite makers!
I'm glad you stained that sappy divider. Looks great!
10 out of 10. power tools, hand tools, all done skillfully.
Thanks Robert!
I think it's perfect. Robert is becoming a excellent woodworker. Seems very smart.
He’s doing great!
i love the direct contrast in the first minute taking the wood from the modern 2021 machine to the 100+ year old bandsaw showing how both old and new can be used together to create amazing work
I was hoping someone would see that!!
Awesome job Andy.
The Pecan wood is so stunning and what a absolutely gorgeous bed frame excellent work.
Really beautiful, Andy. It took a long time to achieve perfection but perfection is your trademark.
Bill
That’s a beautiful bed, thanks for sharing!
Great job on the bed it is a piece of art and I like how you are blending modern technology with old world craftsmanship
You’re right,that’s a beautiful bed. I love how you took advantage of that very unique bit of a Texas pecan tree and turned it into a work of art. Great job and a great video.
Thanks! I’ll likely never see pecan like that again.
Man that turned out so good. Watching those pecan panels go in was so satisfying. With God’s grace maybe I’ll be half the craftsman you are someday
Those panels on the head and foot boards are BEAUTIFUL and look AMAZING!! Great idea using cnc for everything possible.
That is some amazing wood working. That pecan is stunning. I love watching your work because it causes me to stretch as a wood worker.
Robert has a craftsman’s thumb!
Your craftsmanship and design is incredible but that particular wood takes it to another level! Great work.
Sleigh bed turned out amazing Andy, I particularly like the way you blended the vertical style with shellac and stain for a better colour blend, great trick! Tell Robert I said “ hey”. Glad your feeling better.
Hey
great job. always enjoy watching a master at work
Great project and excellent design. And yea...that pecan is beautiful.
I just really enjoy your videos. Your skill and creativity is amazing. I'm impressed with Robert also. He's picked up a lot of skills from you. Thanks for such great content
It's cool to see Robert learning and growing doing the joinery. I also wish I had Texas Pecan in Minnesota..lol Love it!
Awesome job guys!
Wow what an unusual grain to that pecan. Beautiful job, as ever Andy.
Beautiful Job Andy … seriously man you are really talented

As always, your work is amazing. That pecan is gorgeous!
Wow, nice job, nice bed frame.
You could stain that dowel to hid the bed bolt with a brush like you did the center style for that bit of extra completeness.
Watching you and Robert work on this piece, I can’t imagine how you wold craft a piece like this without his help in the shop. Looks like a two man job to me.
And yet people managed to build wood furniture for centuries without CNC machines.
@@MrDizzle715 Yes, and the also rode horses and traveled in stage coaches.
Absolutely beautiful! Probably one of my favorites to date!!
When carving the panels, if you star with the concave face, you are left with 2 edges that are straight and parallel that you can use to rest your panel to carve the convex face.
Andy the bed look great
very fine work Andy/Robert - love what you guys are doing.
Great job, very elegant design. Nice mix of modern and hand tool methods- your apprentice is super diligent too, good hire 👍
Agreed! He’s doing a great job
Really beautiful work, Andy! Amazing work! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Gorgeous looking bed, nice job 👍

Yes Brandon has a great operation.

I love furniture build videos. I’ll be doing some of my own real soon. Thanks for all you do!
Thanks Gary!

Brilliant work
This video makes me want a bed just like this one. I probably couldn't afford one unfortunatley
If you want a CNC bed might I suggest Ashley.
Always love your videos Andy but why are you allowing Robert to use a router without eye protection? 😲
Yes I need to fix that. Thanks
Man! That is one stunning work of art. Someone is going to be blessed sleeping in that night after night. Talk about a beautiful nights sleep. Great job Andy and Robert.

love the build videos
Good to hear!!
Looks like Robert done smashed a finger. It amazes me how a hammer always finds a finger 😂. Happens to me all the time
Thanks
Piece beautiful
Greeting,
I like using a less expensive species (poplar/ pine) to mock up a proper fit on a complicated piece, then cut the finish piece out final material.
I typically use poplar as well I just thought the foam board would work for the CNC but it turned out to be a bad call.
Right on, I was referring to what you said about going through some material while CNC cutting the matching curves on the pieces to accept the panels. Trust me you're doing much more complicated stuff than I get in into. I'm not a furniture builder, I've only built a couple pieces total. Thanks for all the awesome content!!!
I want that bed. I'm sure I can't afford that bed, but I want that bed...
critiquing? who in their right mind would critique that bed..............it is stunning?
Thats a build I'd have a hard time letting go of!
Wonderful!
WOW! Nice.
Wow, Andy!!
First of all I love the bed. Beautiful work! Secondly, at 23:35 you use two centering pins on the router to cut the mortise. I've got the same Dewalt router and would love to find some of those pins. Any idea where to find them or what I should be searching for?
He drilled and tapped the base plate, screwed two screws into those holes, and added dowels, as sleeves, to the screws
I really love the look of Texas pecan. Have loved all of your projects you’ve made out of it. Another favorite of mine is mesquite. Such rich natural color. I know it’s really hard and sometimes brittle but do you make any projects out of it?
Yes we’ve used mesquite but it’s been awhile.
Hey Andy Rawls could you give us and idea about how much you would charge for a bed like that.
Ah now after seeing the paneled footboard I am thinking I want that….ergh the problem with wanting custom furniture
How much for that bed sir?
Hi Andy, this isn't a criticism but the jury is still out on CNC machines, for me anyway but I'm an old fart who doesn't run a business.😁. Great looking Bed by the way and that Pecan is beautiful. Regards Jim UK.

I hope you’re staying safe and sending prayers to the Ukrainian people.

Yea, CNC isn't woodworking.
Ive been a fan of yours for awhile.
And gave you alot of leeway with that trailer build.
But I think I'm done.

Fantastic
