   Outstanding video series. Mr Rodel is an excellent teacher. I thoroughly enjoyed and learned from these videos. I hope to try to build my own in the near future.

   A huge thank you for this video workshop you shared with us. I most certainly had a good time and now I will watch it all over again more deeply to decide if I want to build this bed. FWW has many great craftsman and instructors but you have a rare and wonderful spirit that shines through and a true love of the craft. I wish I will get the chance to study with you in person. I learned the craft from my grandfather from the age of 8 till 25 when he passed away. I miss him every day, and you remind me of him a lot. thank you again.

    Thank you for the great video! One question - I noted that you glued the full length of the wide panel in the footboard, how wide can we expect to go with cross grain panels before we have to worry about splits due to seasonal changes?

   That's a fantastic question and I had to confer with Mike Pekovich to get you a full answer. In this case, there are a few variables making this acceptable. First and foremost, it is quartersawn stock which is going to move very little compared to flatsawn stock. Secondly, Kevin used yellow glue, which is more likely to have a little flex to it.

    Thank you Kevin. Well done, clear, concise, and dead-on techniques for the intermediate to experienced furniture craftsman. Your patience with inlays was impressive.

    Thank you Kevin and FWW, extremely inspirational. Just got added to my bucket list on "things to build" in my retirement.

    Beautiful craftsmanship coupled with outstanding instruction. This series alone is worth the annual membership fee.

    I truly enjoyed this video and learned many things. What do you fill the drilled holes on the footboard with?

    Great set of videos. I wonder what happened to the blade(s) that scraped the side of the fence. The white oak is a great choice for the bed frame. If I attempt tackling this project, I think I'll use walnut, purple heart, or some other dark wood for the strings. Even an acrylic could be used.

    This has been an excellent series, Kevin. Thanks for sharing your experience. I’ve learnt a few things here.
    I would have loved to have seen how you go about the fuming and finishing.

    I have made two of these beds and I really wish I had found this video series before. I have learned so much about how I could have done the beds. I did not do the inlays for fear of destroying my panels. I really now want to make a third bed for my third grandchild...Thanks!!!
