This brought back great memories! About 30 years ago I made a canopy bed for my daughters Barbie dolls. It was a fun project made even better watching her enjoy it 🥰🤠
Glad that I could spark some of those memories Randy. I too used to make things for my daughters and now, I have the opportunity to relive all of those experiences with my granddaughter as the recipient. I couldn't agree more that the reward is seeing her tuck her doll into her bed and saying good night to it. It's a pretty special feeling. Thanks for tuning in to the show and for sharing your story. I love it.
She loves this little bed Paul and tucks her doll in every night. It's very cute. Thanks for tuning in and for taking the time to leave the kind words.
Knowing your skills you can get away with it. Specifically cutting mortises before tenons for us mortals out here. Nice heirloom piece. To add a bit of interest try making a bed that your grand-daughter has in mind. My grand-daughter asked me to build a bed for each of her two American girl dolls. But she had specifications: Most importantly that the beds could be either stand alone or bunk beds. Took more than a weekend to accomplish that feat! I had fun making them and of course the joy in the presentation and reaction. Grandkids are the best.
I’m still unsure what is more satisfying, using a chisel or a hand plane. I’ve never used a decent hand plane let alone a good one, but I can honestly say using a chisel is very relaxing. Another great project and video, thank you.
I'm going to say the plane Randy. It has a satisfying sound when it is removing material properly. That's one of the most satisfying sounds on earth. Thanks for tuning in and for the kind words on the show.
Another viewer mentioned this as well Mark and now, I will be keeping my eyes open for an electric knife. Although the bandsaw worked really well. Thanks for tuning in and for the suggestion. It's very much appreciated.
Great video. I would like to point out, that using a mortising chisel is best to use. Once I started using mortising chisel for mortises, it was much easier.
I don't have a mortise chisel Scott but it is on my "wish list". While I agree with you, I guess this video just goes to show that you don't need one to make awesome projects with good joinery. Thanks for tuning in to the show and taking the time to chime in with your thoughts.
@@acutabove_woodworkings I guess on my little phone screen it looked like a mortising chisel. I was having problems chipping out mortises with my chisels. I watched a Stump Nubs video, and he was showing how to chisel out a mortise with a Mortising chisel, I tried it and it worked great.
Hi Kenny Your number one fan here absolutely brilliant job you just have give me a idea i will make your bed but i am going make it a 4 poster bed as they dolls are a lot bigger theses days the days of Barbie dolls are gone it's Cabbage patch dolls are back in Europe so you see it's got to be a four poster bed for the little girl i am thinking of Oh yes by the way the child's rocking chair is nearly finished but can't get into my workshop because of the heatwave here in London it's nearly 100 degrees But will send you pictures as promised when i am finished Best of Irish luck Charlie😅😅😅
Looking forward to seeing your 4 poster and your chair Charlie. Good luck on finishing both builds. Thanks for tuning in and for the kind words on the show.
Looks great. I need to make a couple of them. On the shortened tendon I would cut them at a 45 degrees giving them the full length except for the 45 degrees cut off.
Feel free to modify it as you see fit Tom. I'm sure that your beds will look amazing. Thanks for tuning in and for chiming in with your idea. It's very much appreciated.
If you are serious about wanting something like this CL, I can try and design something for an upcoming episode in the fall of this year. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
@@acutabove_woodworkings oh I think the little grand daughters will be very serious about it. I see there is an entire bus load on your channel in the comments. I think they'd love it. Perhaps next year we can move on to the kitchen cabinets. Always assuming the little grandsons got new toys in the new year too, but I think you're running out of machines to make for them. How about a mini (very safe) woodshop, i think pine is a very light wood and if you make a small hammer and hollow out the head, it should be okay for little boys, you can make blunt wood screwdrivers and those things you turn nuts with. Paint it all and they'll love helping grandpa. Come to think of it the girls might like it too. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@CL-we8tn Those are some great ideas and I will add them to the shows list and see what I can come up with. Thank for chiming in with the suggestions. I love it.
That's a great tip that I will have to try Brian. I don't have an electric carving knife but I'm sure that I could get on rather inexpensively from amazon or Walmart. Thanks for tuning in and for chiming in with your suggestion. It's appreciated.

Kenny, I’ll bet a know a certain granddaughter that is really going to love this doll bed. Really a nice design, it sure looks real. Great job.

Beautiful creation ... I love wood and create with the scoll saw.... COMPLIMENTS....🤩🤩🤩

That sounds like a great idea Dwight and I'd love to see your creation. Thanks for tuning in and for chiming in with your story. I Love it.
Hi Kenny, this is a great little project, thank you. Now I feel like a lie down.
Glad that you liked it Philip. Now go have a nap and rest up. LOL. Thanks for tuning in to the show.

Another wonderful project. Just a tip for cutting foam, use an old electric knife.

@@scottmorris4914 Hopefully, one day soon, you will see me on the show, demonstrating mortise cutting with a proper, mortise chisel.

It's a gorgeous bed, thanks Kenny, can we girls get a matching dresser and closet?

@@acutabove_woodworkings it's a pleasure watching your channel Kenny.
An electric carving knife works excellent for cutting soft foam.
