Wow, I would have never guessed how much detailed work went into making what looked like a simple bed frame. Really is amazing your attention to detail Andy. You really have a gift.
Pretty cool. Whenever you were rotating the leg 90 degrees and checking it with your eyeballs side to side, if you want to make it easier to see, you could mount a dial indicator with a magnetic base to the side of the spindle. That will get you as close to 90 as you can get, as long as your piece of wood is nice and flat.
I work my lathe the same. Make a plywood template, go from there. I’m very nervous about getting a catch and ruining the project so I mostly scrape. Some of these lathe guys amaze me with the spindle gouge and skews. BTW subbed
A better way to make features at 90 degrees in a round part is to use the square mounting blocks like collet blocks. Leave the part clamped and rotate the square block. I think it will only work if the mounting hole is perfectly centered in the square, which might be tricky if you have to cut the block in half (removing a saw kerf) after drilling the hole.
I was thinking about the bed bolt hole plug, and maybe another way to do it would be to epoxy one of those little button size magnets to the back side so it would stick to the head of the bolt. The plug then can be just a hair loose in the hole so it would slide in and out easily, but the magnet will prevent it from inadvertently falling out.
Oh, the look of a slightly annoyed parent at 7:34. 😆 At least that’s the face I make when the kids are asking perpetual questions while I’m trying to get something done.
I’m in the market for a new router, and notice you use a Makita plunge router. I have Other Makita tools and like them, just wondering your thoughts on the Makita. I also think Festool makes a good router but not sure if I can justify the price Thanks
seeing the bolt pulling everything perfectly together.... that's what makes woodworking so satisfying
Seeing your kid in the shop reminds me of my dad and me. First power tool I got to try out was the drill press. I miss my dad.

Nice job on the Finials!
I've said this before, you're a great dad... I also take my son to the shop and he makes me feel so proud ❤️
Lovely bed too!

It's beautiful. Love the bolt plug, that looked fun to do!
I think the majority of people that watch your videos would not/does not get bored when you show the little details and how you do them.
I 2nd this statement!
It’s those details I love most.
Love you pro skills I am a finish carpenter; but what an awesome little family u hv Andy! That is not an accident! God Bless
love the old school way using the wood lathe is pretty dope!
nice video keep up the great work!

Handcrafted… uses CNC?
Lighten up.
Should we also say it's not handcrafted because of the table saw, band saw, router, drill press, etc?
