In this episode I'm building a Mid Century Modern Dresser. This is the most thought that I've ever put into a woodworking project. Probably because it is the first set of woodworking plans that I have ever produced, so I wanted to make sure that every little detail was considered before settling on a final design. In the end, I am very proud of the piece, and equally thrilled with how many woodworking concepts and techniques we were able to cover with this build.

Love the dresser and the channel in general! I also love this addition of plans/courses and your focus on teaching general skills in the plans. I'm thinking about making this piece but was wondering how long you think it would take someone to make it? I'm sure the real answer is "it depends", but I'd appreciate if you could give a range or ballpark estimate. If it matters, I have a small space, most of the right tools but entry level (e.g. a small countertop table saw), and most importantly, I'd be a solid "beginner" to "advanced beginner" at best. Also: could I start with pre-milled lumber? I don't have a jointer or planer.

@Foureyes.Furniture 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Andrew...you're absolutely right about the real answer being "it depends" I would say the range would be 25 hours to 100 hours. That being an expert craftsman who is simply duplicating this build, to somebody more like you that will probably watch the videos multiple times, be learning new concepts along the way, and just generally taking a bit longer on each step. As for pre-milled....yes you can. Or even plywood for all, or certain parts.

Many different designs for each type of project are also included. For example, there are hundreds of designs kzfaq.infoUgkxb2mhCug-GkCWrq69Ce2I0nM0D4QpxAqu for outdoor buildings, from small sheds all the way up to a complete stable. Choose whatever type of shed or storage house is right for you. Pick from fancy ones or more utilitarian designs.

For me, the detail of the door and drawer fronts sitting back from the main case is brilliant! I would not have done that by choice but after seeing it , it adds a great dimensionality to the face of the piece. Great work and best of luck with the plans.

I once heard Denzel Washington say "Do what you have to do, so you can do what you want to do." I'll watch you guys make anything.

@Foureyes.Furniture 3 жыл бұрын

Denzel gives good advice. That’s why I hate the notion that you can either pursue your dream... or work a 9-5. You can do both. You’ll have no other time likely. But it can be done.

The cabinet is absolutely stunning, it’s so beautiful. I wish my hubby was into woodwork, or at least I wasn’t terrified of tools, I would have a try myself. But alas, we have next to no tools. If we need furniture we have to pay for it, like nearly everyone else. But I do envy your wives who get to say “My husband made that” 👏👏👏👏👏👏
