My wife created a “honey-do” list for me quite awhile ago and my schedule never allowed me to get started on that list. Like many other people in our country, I have found myself working from home more than I had in the past. One of the big items on the list is to clean the barn, and that got me thinking about the other line items on the list. As I looked at the different line items that would require me to build stuff, I immediately thought about all of the material that I had accumulated throughout my building career and how using that material to build stuff would be better than just throwing it out.

I was looking over the list and I saw the line item that said “headboard for our bed”, and I decided that I would move that to the top of the list. I went in and measured our California king bed frame so that I knew the sizes of material that I needed to build the headboard. As I headed out to the barn to see if we had material to build a headboard, I grabbed the video camera and filmed the adventure that I had searching for material and building a custom headboard.
