[LarsAlaska]

@idahochas You're too kind. Yes, the more I learn about Dick from people who knew him, the more impressed I am with his life and talents. Thanks for watching! Cheers, Lars

[thejewbox]

Outstanding work! Thanks for putting this video up.

[LarsAlaska]

@thejewbox My pleasure! Thanks for watching and be well, Lars

[LarsAlaska]

The tool at the end was a round nose wood chisel, perfectly fit for smoothing out the notches. A friend posted this video for me, before I got internet access set up at the cabin. More Alaska videos at "larsalaska" on youtube. Cheers, Lars

[TheRaindogger]

Wow. I have make a few beds using mortise and tenon joinery but never thought of constructing one this way. I must say I am impressed with your quality work!

[LarsAlaska]

@TheRaindogger Thanks. Actually, I just wanted to practice notching, before I started the cabin. Bed was a good way to start:)

[chrissd40]

That looked like some quality craftmanship. Good job!

[LarsAlaska]

@chrissd40 Thanks. First bit of Alaskan furniture I made.

@tuck1963 It was and she came up pretty high overnight. Another couple feet and I'd have been wearing waders in the cabin:)

[pilotjake68]

Very nice, I have been wanting to build one for quite sometime. I try to keep busy to keep myself out of the bars anymore. What was the tool you were using towards the end to smooth out the area you had chisled out? Thank you.

[Kyliekin]

This is absolutely amazing what a great bed!!! I love it, and the song just fits perfect ..*miss ya, John!*

As I was watching I was thinking about Dick Proenneke, too!  Nice of you to make a mention in the end, really nice :)

Thank for the ideas.. I am down here in Kodiak and we have so much driftwood on our beaches.. I've been wanting to make a driftwood bed for a while now.. Your video may have inspired me... Be well!

[RusticStyleColorado]

That is great! No power tools! Love it!

[58belvedere]

did you ever try a adzes to make your saddle cuts it would save you a ton of work?

[larsnorthpolealaska]

No, but I will next time. Any videos demonstrating one in action? Thanks for the suggestion, Lars.

[TreeTrappin]

@58belvedere

I know!! we use an adze and it works like a charm.

much less work
