I wanted a hanging canopy bed. But I saw this and fell in love. I just came back to the video to send it to a friend and got sucked in watching it again. 🤦🏽‍♀️🥴😅 such great construction and detailed notes. I’m such a nerd. 🙃🤦🏽‍♀️

I don’t understand how you don’t have 1 million subscribers based off of this video alone!!!! I want this canopy bed so bad!!!! This was pure

[zillaquazar]

Professional quality work here and I don't just mean the canopy, this video is perfection I can't wait for what you do next I see this channel growing

[Dirtywhipped]

I thought you were making a bedframe for a red room. I mean, that bed would be the perfect bedframe to use if one was making a red room. The frame came out amazing, you def had a vision and you executed it flawlessly!! Love it

Ich liebe es, wenn Leute Eier haben, ihre Desingideen umzusetzen, sich aber erstmal vernünftige Pläne machen und danach methodisch mit vernünftigen Werkzeugen arbeiten.

Das führt zu kompromisslosen, hervorragenden Ergrbnissen, wie man in diesem Kanal sieht.

Weiter So! Sie sind genial!

Dude. Everything about this is insane. The design, the build, the detail, the video editing. Well done brother.

[NatalieAtini]

So the black ceiling seriously has inspired me to do the same especially when you add the lighting it really is a nice touch! I just got a low profile bed but no head board though so looking to add something unique to make it stand out more! Why is cutting wood so therapeutic lol loving this and your attention to detail/technique or maybe it’s your voice lol either way def a vibe😉 ❤

[chriswise]
