- fbdab103 3y agoI am upset she put in all that effort and did not stain the wood.
- sltkr 3y agoIn the Kickstarter video the wood is painted (and she has sensibly removed the goofy leaves on the sides, which were obviously only going to get in the way).
- fbdab103 3y agoI thought the side walls were there to ensure she did not roll off the bed in the night and die from the fall.
- mrweasel 3y agoThat might be because she's Swedish. As a Scandinavian it's always a bit weird seeing Americans staining wood, it's not really something you'd do, unless you're trying to make it lighter. Americans, and the British, loves staining wood, making it darker. That's kinda the opposite of what you do in Scandinavia. You keep everything light, bright and natural (if possible, pine has a tendency to yellow and that not really fashionable).
- fbdab103 3y agoThere are light stains that can make the wood grain pop. But you are correct, to my American eye, that unfinished look really detracts from the full effort.
- philwelch 3y agoDon’t you need to finish the wood somehow in order to protect it from random stains?
- avar 3y agoIt's not because they love staining wood, it's because the predominant species of trees in those areas are those that take better to staining. In Scandinavia you'll get a lot of it pine, which is one of the types of wood which typically doesn't need staining, especially for indoor applications.
- Timshel 3y agoFunnily you can see some coat hingers prototype at the end of the video :).
- lopis 3y agoAnd while showing that, she says "I promise the next video won't take 3 months to make". 3 Years late: > I spent 3 years working on a coat hanger
- cosmojg 3y agoWell, she technically kept her promise, although the emphasis was on the "months" rather than the "3" it seems.
- DamnInteresting 3y agoLooking at her video list, she released 20 videos between the bed video and this hanger video. This one -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYqz1F6eAVU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYqz1F6eAVU <- came out about 2 weeks after the bed video. So, she very much kept her promise. Just sayin.
