Really beautiful job! That was a really clever way to add the changing table frame in such a way as to be able to remove it down the line when it's no longer needed. Hope the newcomer is healthy and happy! Thanks for sharing.

Hey John! Thank you so much for putting this video together. I built a wood workshop in my basement when COVID hit and my wife and I got a call for a little 3 week old who needed a home. So we needed a new changing table as we already have a 2 year old. This video was so well done and I was able to follow it pretty closely. I did make about 100 mistakes but I learned a ton. Thanks again. I will share some pics with you in IG.

@VickyLatorreArt 4 жыл бұрын

@@JohnBuildsIt I didn't mean anything bad by it. Sorry if it sounded like that. We are all trying to make a buck or two online. Nothing wrong with that. I don't know if you sell the tools or just get a commission with an affiliated program or not, and if you do, it is GREAT. I have nothing against that. I would defectively buy it from your links. After all you are teaching us how to do the project for free. Now, do you know your links has your id number to specify where the person was redirected from. That's how you get pay with an affiliated program; but anyway, what I meant was that most of the videos I have seen, until this one, show a bunch of tools on a table, explains what you can do with it and how it works but then one have to go search on google a project already someone made to see it in action. With your video I see the tool in action, in a complete project and I have wonderful links (affiliated or not) you put on the description for me to go straight to it. In other words, you did the whole work for us. Like I said is a GREAT well made video to show off all the nice tools. They are amazing by the way. I can see clearly they make the job easier. I have a whole folder full of project but I don't work on them cause I have no idea what tools to use to make them perfect. I don't mind the hard work of working by hand but I'm tired of my crooked lines. While this video, for most people, is probably a great tutorial of how to build a dresser to me is the perfect TOOLS video. And I thank you again for sharing it with us.

@JohnBuildsIt 4 жыл бұрын

Vicky Latorre I really appreciate that! I did assume you were alleging I got all my tools for free and now I’m a salesman for the companies haha sorry about that! There are a lot of negative comments like that here on KZfaq. These are affiliate links, and it’s only a few cents from each order, but it does add up and is certainly better than nothing!

Drawer slides are very simple. Place them on a 1/4" runner and screw them to the cabinet. Set the drawer on a 1/2" runner and pull the slide out flush to the front of the drawer box. Drive a screw on each side then pull out to the 2nd screw. Pull out for back screw. Done.

Do you think you could list the wood materials, please. I went and bought the ¾ Maple plywood and many of the other tools you listed but then I caught the ½ for the back. 🙏 thank you.

@JohnBuildsIt 5 жыл бұрын

PlayGirl I used 1/4 plywood on the back, 1/2” mdf on the side panels, 1/2 plywood for the bottom panel in the dresser, and everything else was rough sawn poplar that I milled down to 3/4” thick like you would buy right from the store if you didn’t have a jointer and planer. I chose poplar because it’s harder than pine and paints really well. Thanks for watching!

Beautiful Build! Just a thought for anyone making a changing table, best not to fully box in the pad, rather only make sides and then corners that taper down, leaving the top and bottom open for the kids head/feet. Basically, you should make the box the same shape as the pad itself, not full height all the way around. Not only does it let them hang out, as the kid gets more wiggly, it saves their head somewhat from smacking onto the hard corner of the box, should they try to flip over, flop back from sitting up, or try to squirm while you're changing. Anyways, awesome project!

How do you measure the actual drawer fronts. Obviously you measure the opening it’s going to cover, but how much do you take off the true measurement to allow space for the drawer front on each side. How do you achieve the gap you’re eventually going to use the card trick to split? Thanks! Love your work!

Typical is 1/8” reveal all around, so the hole opening minus 1/4” for the front size. I like to do 3/16” so there’s slightly less than 1/8
