I recently made this simple rustic white farmhouse headboard for some good friends. This is a great DIY project especially if you need a headboard and don’t want to spend a lot of money on one. DIGITAL PLANS - etsy.me/2IwjSbb

Hey friends! I hope you enjoy this one! I didn't clarify a lot with my mistake on the finish. I used a foam brush and put it on too thick. That was most of my problem. I would recommend Polycrylic instead of what I used. I'll link it below. What would you recommend using? Comment below to help others out.

My husband and I have been working on this project for a couple days. We don't have good tools so made do with what we have. We used some bead board for the central part and we shortened the overall height. Here are the things we struggled with. 1. The slats were not exactly the measure we wanted and required trimming. 2. The brads we had didn't hold things together so we switched to some U-shaped brads - better. 3. We had little gaps in several places but the trim covered that. 4. We were afraid of the French cleat but it worked out. 5. We had a really lame pocket hole jig that we fought with - need lots more practice. 6. Shortening ours kind of threw off the proportions and the overall look. We plan to use a watery white paint to get the washed look and then seal it. Yours came out a lot better than ours of course, but all in all, we like what we made and enjoyed doing the project together. Thanks for sharing it.

I am glad the video helped you out! Thanks for sharing.

I downloaded his plans and made this last year... it turned out perfect. I used a dark oak stain, then diluted white paint and applied it to the desired look. super easy and fun. thnx for the plans.

@lynnsinclair5923 4 года назад

I just love this headboard. I’ve watched your video twice now, once 6 mos ago, because I’d love to have this headboard...but I don’t have any experience with saws. Your design has given me some design ideas though! :)

@stevensparks19 5 лет назад

Just watched a handful of your videos and subscribed, you've got a great presence on camera. Very easy to watch, keep us informed throughout the process, just good content overall. I hope to get into woodworking someday when I feel like I have more time to dedicate to learning a new hobby. For now I'll settle for watching people like yourself create things. Keep up the good work!

I really liked the look of that weathered oak. I'm going to be making some coffins for Halloween decorations with some rough cut wood.

@MadebyMitch 5 лет назад

That is really cool. That will look good with the rough cut!

@h2ojem 3 года назад

Love the headboard! Next time, it would be helpful to start out listing all the materials you needed with amounts. Also what tools you needed.

@danielnichols7864 4 года назад

Great work! i've been looking around trying to decide if i wanna build a headboard using pallets or just some store bought wood. Well after watching your video i don't think i wanna use pallets. I really like the way your headboard turned out! THANKS FOR THE IDEAS AND INSPIRATION

@MadebyMitch 4 года назад

You are very welcome Daniel. I'm glad it was helpful 👍

@Lifecraftedgoods 5 лет назад

Good stuff bud!! I've always stained the first coat with a darker stain, let dry, then paint over it with white paint and sand lightly to weather the paint. Finished with a light coat of laquer and boom. Super quick and simple. Stinks that happened with that one coat stuff! I'll make note of that and never touch it! Haha!

@MadebyMitch 5 лет назад

Thanks man! Yes lesson learned for me. That process sounds so much better. I will try that next time. Thanks

@InteractiveRealm 5 лет назад

@lorirogers1556 4 года назад

I just ruined a project using a polyurethane stain ..so I had to laugh or cry when you Had problems with yours! Your headboard is beautiful… You gave me a lot of great ideas for mine… I hope I could do the trim work like you did! Beautiful.. just beautiful!

@MadebyMitch 4 года назад

Oh no!! Sorry your project was ruined. I know the feeling lol. Thank you for the kind words.

@laurennasca-davis7747 5 лет назад

Beautiful!

@MadebyMitch 5 лет назад

Thanks Lauren!👍

@laurennasca-davis7747 5 лет назад

Made by Mitch found this as I’m searching for ideas for my headboard and this is my fav as I want to add trim! Could this all be done with a hammer and nails if I don’t have a nail gun? Can nail guns be rented from Home Depot?

@MadebyMitch 5 лет назад

Lauren. Yes you could do this with hammer and nails. It would be tough in my opinion but possible. Home Depot does rent air nailers and air compressors. Harbor Freight does have a Brad nailer air compressors that are cheap. I wouldn't recommend there stuff if you use it all the time because the quality isn't the greatest, however if you it is something you use on occasion it is worth it. Plus if it breaks they will replace it. I hope this helps. Good luck!

@laurennasca-davis7747 5 лет назад

Made by Mitch thank you so much for the reply!

@MadebyMitch 5 лет назад

Your welcome!👍

@ricksmith7631 4 года назад

nice build, sorry about the finishing issue but it turned out real nice. my heart broke when the trim split, been there done that, time to pull out the 18 gauge trim nailer. anyhow, nice build.

@BruceAUlrich 5 лет назад

The headboard looks great, Mitch! That’s so frustrating when you’re at the final stages and it messes up.

@MadebyMitch 5 лет назад

Thanks Bruce. Yea it is frustrating. I guess it's all a part of the learning process.

@thegrinch8312 2 года назад

2 coats of shellac to seal in the pitch since pine was used then milk paint over top. BLO over top that. Just like they did farm house finishes before modern finishes.

@LisaBevill-ProSinger1 4 года назад

Also, I researched polyurethanes amongst all the pros who use it over their painted furniture..and they all suggested Varathane Ultimate polyurethane satin finish ...and that’s all I use now on everything...you can even paint or glaze over the first coat if you make a mistake and then put several coats over that..I have to order it online from Home Depot..they don’t carry on the shelves in the store...I think it comes in a 2 quart set.

@MadebyMitch 4 года назад

I will definitely have to give this a try. Thank you for suggesting this Lisa. I appreciate it!

@stevereisman6872 8 месяцев назад

Dude, try a pin nailer for the smaller wood, I saw you split 2 pieces of wood trying to shoot an 18-gauge through it.

@inspired2speak 4 года назад

Hey Mitch, Your headboard turned out beautiful however I wanted to give you a tip on how to prevent bleed through or yellowing when you use white stain or paint. The polyurethane will always turn white yellow every time so to prevent that you can use kills blocker as a primer before you paint or Zinsser shellac as a primer & it will block out any stain or yellowing when using white paint. What’s even better is you can use oil or water based anything over it & get amazing results! if you’re using stain, instead of using poly urethane or poly acrylic use a wax and just wax the piece. I use wax from dixibelle or go to your local DIY store where they sell chalk paints or mineral paints & they always have wax available.

@MadebyMitch 4 года назад

Oh wow! This is such a great tip. Thank you so much for this! I really appreciate it. I am definitely going to try this the next time I use white.👍👍

@WayWoodworking 5 лет назад

You're rolling along with great videos! What do you think caused the finish problem?

@MadebyMitch 5 лет назад

Thanks Tony! I think I put it on a little too thick. I used a foam brush and probably should have used something different.

@latrinahelfrich5852 2 года назад

I'm so doing this! Hanging it to the wall seems intimidating though. How can I put legs on it like traditional headboards?

@poulingail 3 года назад

Question: Did you use a 1x2 board that you ripped for the French cleat as described in the separate video? The headboard is heavy so I thought you may have used something bigger than that.

@RuHairDesigns 5 лет назад

This is awesome!! I definitely want to try out this designs. Is this for a king? Looks like it but can’t tell for sure..?

@MadebyMitch 5 лет назад

Thanks Raul. Yes it is for a king!

@beebe93 4 года назад

Would love to know approx how much the whole project cost you.

@jonjones623 5 лет назад

Hey Mitchell I used that one One Coat Polyurethane also on a quilt rack I built my grandma. It did the same thing but I was putting it over danish oil. I wasnt sure if it was me or the polyurethane.

@MadebyMitch 5 лет назад

Hmm that's interesting. For mine I was assuming it was user error more so than product. I put it on a bit too thick. I typically use polycrylic. That is what I should have used.

@jonjones623 5 лет назад

I might have put it on too thick also. I ended up sanding a lot of it off.

@nancycook4252 5 лет назад

Looks great I really like the design and finish. Polyurethane always gives me a problem... Wood putty and I have become good friends - angles and I don't seem to see eye-to-eye and those darn wood splits on thin trim -- ugghh

@MadebyMitch 5 лет назад

Thanks Nancy! I'm right there with you. Wood putty saves the day. Especially for the trim splits.

@user-wu9sk7fs7v Год назад

i know this is really old but.....by using the french cleat the way you did, didnt the top of headboard stick out farther from the wall than the bottom?? thx

@rabakomaba4562 4 года назад

Just go to WoodPrix if you want to know how to make it yourself.

@rossstigsell1195 Год назад

What size nails did you use in your nailer?

@onediamas 4 года назад

Hey Mitch, great video, been thinking about building this with my wife, I am new to building with wood and i cant tell how long you made each piece that makes the inside of the frame? How long are they? and cant wait to see more of your videos, as far you give out great detail.

@MadebyMitch 4 года назад

Thanks!! The inside boards are 30 inches long. If you want the headboard smaller, you can adjust the size of this.

@candacemcginnis5255 5 лет назад

What size does the headboard you made fit...King? or Queen?

@MadebyMitch 5 лет назад

It is for a King size.

@LisaBevill-ProSinger1 4 года назад

Where did you get that blue deep set angled screw hole thing? Sorry, have seen those before and wanted to get one for hubby for Christmas?!

@befmx31 4 года назад

Lisa - if you have not gotten an answer yet I think you are talking about the Kreg Pocket Hole jig.

@befmx31 4 года назад

He actually has a link to it in the Show More section. He links to the K4 version of the tool. Personally, I would get the K5 version.

@lisabevillofficialyoutube7777 4 года назад

@@befmx31 YES!! That's exactly what I was talking about.. And thanks for the advice to get the K5 version.. i'll check it out.. and hopefully you can purchase this from Home Depot??

@MadebyMitch 4 года назад

Hi Lisa! Yes hope depot and I believe Lowe's carries it as well. Sorry for the late response. Thanks @befmx31 for jumping in!

@ricksmith7631 4 года назад

know what came to mind, something you need to build - an air hockey table...

@tomblalock3477 5 лет назад

Where's the materials list? I could have sworn you said there would be a list at the end of the video.

Hey Tom, the materials is in the video description below the video.

@MidAtlanticPackaging 4 года назад

Is this material for a Queen or a King Sized bed?

@cindyprice2924 3 года назад

Great job! The headboard is just what I'm searching for, but unfortunately after checking prices on all the materials you list, not including stain or screws, it's exceeded the price of a store-bought headboard by about 70 dollars so far, and I'd have to pay someone to do it. :(

@truthserum5202 2 года назад

The nailing is weak. You should be using small brad nails/glue on the trim. That way you don't get horrible splits that make you look foolish in the video.

@Lt_Tim 3 года назад

Watching you push the wood over the blade using your hands made me cringe. One slip and you could lose your whole hand. You should always use something like a pusher block to push the wood.
