I made a pallet wood bedroom for my wife, and you’re welcome to follow along in the video. I made a herringbone headboard from pallet wood, a shelf from pallet wood and a side table from a cherry log.

The video i mention in the beginning about my epoxy resin mistakes is right here: [ Ссылка ]

Notes about the video:
I refer to my wife as “my boss” because my wife traditionally makes the most design decisions in our house. The new thing is me making stuff for the house and also having an opinion, but trust me, she’s still the boss if the thing is going into the house.

My wife was away most of the time I renovated the bedroom and was pretty (positively) surprised when she came back and saw it. She didn’t want to be a part of the video, so you’ll have to imagine her reaction. IRL it wasn't monday-friday in a row, but I dramatized the story a bit to fit into a video storyline. It was filmed during the summer in Denmark, and we are so high north we have daylight (and even sunlight) most of the 24 hours of each day. Yes, our nights are just 3-4 hours long during the summer.

I quote a few lines from a Coldplay song called Fix You. The first line is “When you try your best, but you don’t succeed.” My kids used to sing that line when me and my wife were discussing something, and it was obvious that I didn’t get my way, or when I tried to fix something in the house and failed. We laughed a lot about it, so it’s just stuck in my head.

I tried out some different Rubio Monocoat products in the video with very little success. I would like to point out that I’m a big fan of Rubios products, especially their Oil + 2C PURE, that’s a fantastic finish for tables, floors, furniture, all things woody. Their staining products are probably more difficult to use and get a good result with, so far I’m only good friends with the Walnut oil + 2C.

I had some other makers say and do stuff in this video. They are not being mean in any way, all that’s being said and done in this video is written and edited by me.

I'm not affililated with any of the toolbrands I'm using in this video. Nobody paid me so say anything. However, I do like to support other creators, and often buy their merch.

I do owe thanks to a lot of creators, I will try my best to feature you somehow in future videos. The way I like to feature other creators is by making some sort of cameo that's relevant for the video I'm making, so I'm sorry if you send me your sticker hoping to get a shout-out. It could be a while before the right opportunity shows up for me.

Thank you all creators and people watching and commenting on my videos. I read all comments and will answer all. I learn a lot from the comments and will do my best to mention who gave me the good advice in future videos. Thank you.
