Building A Bed With Reclaimed Wood
Vložit
- čas přidán 9. 09. 2024
- I am using salvaged hard wood reclaimed from the demolition of a conservatory to build a super king sized mid century modern style bed frame. The wood is a mixture of meranti and mahogany and there are lots of nails, screws and holes in the wood that I need to deal with!

Good on you making Dylan another bed, can't wait to see how his new lounging spot turns out. It's really neat to see the wood from the conservatory being reused, too.
It was very kind of Dylan to let you build him a new bed. I love the legs! You're quite the craftsman.
Don't know if it's just me, but you seemed a lot more relaxed about this project( after your burn-out video). Which I think is great. Geoff
That is some very attractive salvage. Nice chunky clean design.
The best thing with this channel (except from Dylan ❤) is that you are always thinking of how to save money. Many other channels make projects that cost way too much for a normal person to build.
A great project and a fantastic use for all that re-claimed timber. I can't wait to see the finished result.
Cheers Karl!
The first thing I learnt when I began the DIY>woodworking journey, is that something may look OK, but be totally rotten underneath. The second was the opposite: it may look rotten, but be really good quality.
This project is the second. I love that feeling when you discover the gorgeous grain hidden beneath an ugly finish.
Ah the joys of using reclaimed wood!
You have my sympathies, we had a similar issue with 2 of our cats taking up half the bed. We solved it by buying a bed for our youngest (and largest) which they stole. The youngest now sleeps on our bed but stretched out parallel to us.
By far the most amazing part of this video is how clean the bedroom is.
You make it look so easy !! Bedroom is huge, needs a big bed for scale! full length mirrors double the effect ...and make it look like a dance studio... Where's the Barre ? Looking forward to next edition!
You made me laugh at the bought it yourselves mention.
I really enjoyed the relaxed pace and feeling of this video. Your new approach to 'work' is showing results! Take it easy and enjoy yourself.
I really enjoy seeing you make great use of quality reclaimed wood. This style and pace kept reminding me of the new yankee workshop. Great to see you being able to focus on the quality of the design and build and the two-parter is a great format to look forward to.
Before putting any timber through my planer thicknesser I run a garrett pinpointer over the wood. This will show you if there is any metal in the wood. This has saved numerous blades on my machines. You can get cheaper Chinese ones but the garrett one is great quality and well worth the money.
Looking fantastic, Keith. The craftsmanship is spot on as well!
A plug cutter on the headboard legs where you wanted the rebate may have allowed you to get the nail/screw out while leaving clean enough wood for a clean rebate
Going great there mate. Looking forward to Part 2. Thanks for the video.
Great Video Keith much more relaxed and detailed I'm looking forwards to part two
Fancy wood, I think bed will be fit for a king and queen 👑
Glad you are back, I agree that this looks fantastic. Looking o the rest of it. All the best.
Nice project, and good to see you take your time to measure, and check, and check again. That’s were I go wrong mostly, trying to go too fast… Looking forward to the finished result!
Those angles and chamfers are awesome!!
That's looking really nice Keith. Love the joinery. I'm looking forward to the next video mate.
Love the "more laid back" approach of the video. I am more exited for a detailed 30 part series then a rushed together 1 parter. Thanks for the video and I will be waiting for more.
Dylan deserves more space. 😉
Hi Keith, great to see you back. Love the way you use recycled wood. Looking forward to the next part. From a very warm Cape Town, best wishes for an awesome 2022.
Thank you
That's some beautiful wood, the conservatory must've cost a fair penny yonks ago! Great to see it reused!
Dead happy to see a big project, and nice to know now you're feeling less pressure they'll be more common, if not as regular.
Beautiful work, A true Craftsman you are Sir. Can't wait to see the final piece of art.
Cheers from south Florida 👍
That conservatory never looked so good, Keith. This project really speaks to your mission statement of using reclaimed materials and what a glorious bit of wood it turned out to be! It looks like a real labour of love too, can't wait to see the finished 'cat' bed!
Really liking the look of those chamfered legs, Keith. Also, that you need a bigger bed to accommodate Dylan. Love it!
Thanks Mandy, he takes up a surprising amount of space!!
I'm excited for the end! Great work. I love the details.
What, no matrass sponsorship in a woodworker-builds-a-bed video?? That's insane! 😄
Looking forward to the follow up, Keith, I'm curious how you're going to attach the rails to the head/footboards. Maybe those fancy festool-thingies?
Thanks for sharing another awesome build with us. I was itching to see your mft work table in action. I'll be looking forward to seeing the accessories you use most. I'm going to purchase a 2x4 foot top and a few dogs to begin with.
Thanks again 👍🏾
I love making thing from reclaimed wood. It's amazing what can be done with it all. Nice work!
The only thing I wouldn't use reclaimed wood for is food products, as it's hard to tell which substances may have come into contact with the wood.
Hi Keith, really enjoyed wathing this first Video of your Bed project, its looking great and from material that a lot of people would have simply thrown on a skip. I'm sure others will have mentioned it and I'm not just saying it for effect, but you look and sound so much more relaxed than in your previous few months video's and actually come across as really enjoying your woodworking again and not just churning out video's to keep the CZcams engine running, good for you. Look forward to the next episode 😆
Loved the savage Casper sponcership dig :)
So far it's looking great Keith looking forward to the finished bed, and i know what you mean about Dylan hogging the bed, our cat does the same thing she is an indoor cat so has plenty of bed areas to sleep on, but likes our double bed instead ha ha ha.
Stay Safe,
Barry (Wirral)
Normally we watch your videos and I’m jealous of your tools and size of your workshop, etc. today I’m jealous of the size of your bed!
Looks great so far
Brilliant watch, as ever Keith!
Enjoyed the video. The "Mahogany" Sapele which is from the DR Congo in Africa. It's now on the CITES watch list so it's becoming more scarce. Good on you for re-cycling it. I've used Sapele for decades and some of it has had amazing grain. I've had 600mm wide boards, 75mm thick and 3.6metres long and had to saw them up for making windows..It's quite easy to tell the difference between Sapele and Meranti. Meranti is very pale in colour, very soft and damages easily and not very durable. Sapele is much denser, far more red in colour when wet, tends to have nicer figured grain and is far more durable than Meranti. Unsual to see a job done with two different timbers so it could be all Sapele.Sash cramps are very versatile, if you buy some 4ft ones you can take the ends off and bolt 2 together (through the peg holes) giving you close to 8ft cramping width .
Sapele is my favourite wood, it is so beautiful. I like the sash clamp tip, thanks
Not only do you recycle and make usefull items, you make beautifull things Keith! Keep it up!
Great job Keith 👏 👍
Nice to see you, coming from Rhode Island good old USA . Really enjoy your workshop videos.💙
Beautiful, excellent craftmanship!
Looking really good Keith 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Nice bed, economically made.
Thanks for a nice video. Always a great day when I see you upload one :D
My first thought once you mentioned nails and screws was: Ah! Food for the planer blades :D LOL. Cheers and have a nice weekend.
Another great project and enjoyable video. thanks for all your work.
Nice design Keith it's looking good so far. Looking forward to watching part two. Tony
Thank you Tony
So far, so good. I’m really looking forward to seeing the end product. I’ll definitely be using your magnet trick on reclaimed wood.
Looks really good, definitely worth waiting for.
Nice work Keith! Thanks for sharing the video with us!💖👍😎JP
This is looking great so far and it's brilliant that the wood has come from your old conservatory.
Hope Dylan will like his new bed! made me laugh with the line 'we actually bought our 'mattress'! looking good already !
I've been looking forward to this!!!
Very tidy fella!
excellent!!!
Beautiful and great problem solving!
Looking decent so far mate. Pleasing shape on the legs.👌 Quite a haul of fairly nice timber from that old conservatory eh. A God knows, a bed needs a fair bit!
That looks fantastic mate.
We've had some bad frosty weather lately, must be freezing in your workshop! The bed is looking great so far, excited to see the finished project.
I had to deal with metal in wood as well. To solve the problem I bought a little "dremel" tool and a plunge rounter base for it. With a grinding bit in the spindle I can just plunge in and grind the metal away. Just a tip if you ever come across a metal inclusion that doesn't want to come out.
Worth waiting for 👍🏻
Not every day you see a project using exterior recycled timber. Clever use and machining of elements is first class.
So much metal in recycled timber nowadays, I find that screws are the most difficult to remove. Did you use Sipo domino’s?
Looks a bit chilly in that workshop, you need a wood burner to keep your inspiration sharp 😉
Lookin good Keith, build my own a few years back because the new beds we looked at were really expensive and the constuction was crap to say the least and they were popular brands like Silent Night etc !!!.
Cool project! Love the recycling too! 😎
I really admire your hard work with this reclaimed wood. I think it will be so beautiful. Thank you for sharing your talent and lovely build.
Hi Keith great project, my advice is to buy an Emperor quilt the super king size quilts just don't do the job
This is a brilliant project.. I just don't know how you have time to make it while also filming "swashbuckle" on BBC. Your character " sandy" is very funny ha ha ha ha
Dude, really masterful work!
Glad to see you back Keith. I really like your recycling wood for new projects. I try to do the same and seeing some of your solutions to unwanted metal is going to really help. These projects are great
Looks fantastic so far, also, as someone who’s moved to a super king from a standard double…..boy oh boy, the space , look forward to seeing the finished result
Another quality video Keith. Looking forward to Pt 2!
thanks John
Thor hammer, excellent. The best!
Really nice design and great use of the old conservatory! Looking forward to the next part.
The design is looking great! Can't wait to see the finished job.
Keith, this was brilliant. It is going to look fantastic.
Your joinery skills have just moved to another level. Seriously impressive piece of work. Looking forward to the next video :)
Looking really cool so far!
The bed is coming along nicely. I love the look of the wood and the design, especially the tapered legs. I'm looking forward to the video showing the completion of this project.
Thanks for sharing this video with us.
Let's hope Dylan appreciated your efforts...Tricky things cats... 😏
Love the design. I did something similar with my conservatory! Kept the wood, didn't know what to do with it for several years, then decided to make a double bed for the spare room, obviously handy for visiting relatives. I think the wood was similar to yours, but included some sapele. Mine is eurosize (4'9"in old money). Can't wait to say to visiting rellies that you can sleep in our old conservatory!
Great job and recovery Keith...Looking good. Nice to see the Domino out again.
Great build Mr brown and you seem way more relaxed... We got a similar matteress, from a company called Emma... Absolutely brilliant a sleep game changer
as always good video bro - Pawel [ Bournemouth ]
Looking awsome
Keith, that is absolutely stunning so far. It must feel amazing that you are reusing the timber from your old extension well done lad brilliant work. Hi from Ireland.
Really interesting project this Keith.Great upcycling.Just shows how far your skill level has come looking back to those early days in your shed at the rear of your house in norwich.Love your bigger projects that evolve over a number of episodes.Fasinated to see this super king size bed progress to completion.
sapele appreciation society :D
So excited for this one, it’s going to look beautiful and be unique. 💙
Of course, you realize, this means he is gonna take up even more space.
As nice a project as I’ve seen you make! Classy!
Great work on saving the lean to material Keith. It is amazing how much usable wood is binned.
I bought a metal detector from Rutlands a few years ago. Deffo a good purchase off setting the price against tool blades
Bring on part 2
PS like the sweatshirt logo!
Really nice work. Looking forward to seeing it finished, I can tell it's going to be a good one.
Nice pal keep it up 💙
You think you can build a big enough bed that Dylan can't occupy all the space? Ha! Best solution I've found with our mini panther is to pretend to be working on something, just a piece of paper will do, then casually place it where we want him to go. Usually works just long enough to dive in.
If you've only come here for Dylan skip to: 01:09
I usually decide which side of my bed I'm sleeping in based on which part my cat has chosen on any given night.
You videos are fantastic to watch and thank you when you
put them out and my name is Dylan but I’m under my step brothers iPad and I do wood working and I have Ryobi tools and I have only been doing woodworking for only 2 years and I’m only 11 years old and how are you and your wife and how old is dylan on and you all take care 👍. What was your first drill you ever got.
If you would just start using a nice sharp pencil and/or a marking knife your joinery would improve overnight mate.
Parabéns, ficou muito bom. Desculpe a minha observação, mas vídeos com muita conversação ficam muito cansativos .
