This was BRUTAL | Building a Stunning Chest of Drawers
Vložit
- čas přidán 24. 07. 2024
- It’s time to build my next piece of furniture - a modern dresser for our bedroom. While designing this dresser, I wanted to ensure it complemented the headboard I did a few videos ago without being too matchy-matchy. So, for the wood choice, I went with walnut and cherry hardwood (and baltic birch for the drawers). I added accents of cherry lines to the drawer faces in a similar fashion to the wavy lines of the headboard - just without the waves. This extra-large chest of drawers is the perfect storage unit for the bedroom.

Hey, TimberBiscuit, I know I'm a little late, but I would love a set of plans for this if the offer is still available.
@@chriss79unfortunately I didn’t get enough requests for this one so I didn’t put them together. If that ever changes, I’ll be sure to let you know.
@@TimberBiscuitWoodworks well, I'll be sure to spread the word about your channel! You do great work, and your content is well made. Thank you for sharing your craft with us!
@@chriss79I really appreciate it, thank you for your support!
No to epoxy (except for filling knots). Beautiful work. Love listening to your narration.
Heck ya! Thank you so much!
Shane!!! Over 3 hrs. later & I'm caught up!! Heck yeah Bro.!! What a project to finish my binge on. Less than 10 mins. in my shift what a win/win. Enjoy your weekend & stay Blessed my friend. Dirty Jersey out!!
Sweet man! Glad you enjoyed it! This is one of my favorite builds so far.
Love it! and the pun about the guy who invented zero 😆
Haha! Thank you!
I have given it a like, even though I don't consider a thumb is a finger 😎
Haha, funny enough, I had the same debate internally when I watched that part back.
Yes epoxy. As a rookie woodworker, I find each "type" of woodworking to be beautiful in its own way and to each type of woodworker, it's still a wonderful craft. I prefer to not draw attention away from the wood itself, like you mentioned, but at the same time I appreciate the work that epoxy woodworkers put into their projects just as much. As always, excellent work!
Right on! Thank you!
I'm with you on the epoxy topic. But disagree that thumbs are fingers :D. Amazing piece of furniture, absolutely stunning. Great work.
Haha! Fair enough, and thank you very much!
My good man -- this is a true work of inspired art. I **love** it! Great video presentation, and thank you for creating and sharing this.
Thank you kindly!
New to your channel so hi from Scotland! Absolutely love watching you work, you make everything look so easy and your work is amazing, I also really enjoy your jokes and sense of humour, thanks for sharing this, great inspiration for me just getting into woodworking at 52 years old!
Thank you so much and welcome to the channel! Wish you well on your woodworking journey!
Well done! That is a truly unique piece!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed this one.
New to the channel and may I say, WOW! Here we have someone who makes things! I was be-gaining to believe all these so-called woodworking channels were here with the soul purposed of selling you this "Have to have" item you'll hardly ever use.
Very nice work. I'm not much on the more modern look, but you pulled it off very well. Really like the look! I cold see this piece having a place in our guess bedroom. Could you follow up with maybe a nightstand and somehow a free standing mirror? You could sell the set at a custom furniture store.
I'm going to watch a few more of your video's to decide if I'd like to get involved in your patron.
Hey, and welcome to the channel! Thanks for the kind words. I have builds for a mirror and a nightstand on the channel already but with that being said, I may revisit some of those to get them inline with this style. And if you're interested in Patreon, I'd love to have ya, no pressure though. Thanks for the support!
Yes epoxy for filling. If I wanted a plastic table, I would get a plastic one. Your videos are great btw.
Haha, no doubt! Thanks, I'm glad you're enjoying them.
Awesome build, very unique! Love the narration style too! Those sneaky little jokes catch me off guard every now and then!
Haha! Thank you!
I like it. Congrats from the UK.
Happy to hear that, thank you! Cheers!
Yeah, epoxy. Everything has a place so I don't mind the obnoxious vibrant color if the goal was to be obnoxious. I mean, I am a child of 80s hair metal and most of that was pretty obnoxious, right? 😁
What a great build. I hope to be this talented at some point. 😎
Haha! I guess that’s true. And thank you, I really appreciate that.
That's sick bro, I'd love to see this with maple instead of cherry that dark and light wood would really pop.
Thank you! I’ve done a few projects on the channel with that combo. I might have to revisit it
@@TimberBiscuitWoodworks definitely my favorite combo gives it a lot of contrast. Unfortunately walnut is hard to come by in my area .
I hear ya, it's a great attention grabber.
Epoxy/no Epoxy I truly enjoy seeing epoxy,as a medium, in wood working, but so enjoy the natural beauty of the wood and the epoxy blending in to the background.
Yeah I love trying to hide it and make it blend with the grain.
Excellent work. Congratulations...!!!
Thanks for sharing... Greetings from Uruguay...!!!
Thank you!
Wow! Came out great. Appreciate the tips too.
Thank you, and you are so welcome!
Turned out so nice. I was thinking the maple strips would look nice with some textured hand cut scallops.
Thanks! Yeah, I agree that would look really cool
@@TimberBiscuitWoodworks check out Morgan Hurst toolbox video for the look I'm picturing.
I think epoxy has its place. Its original use of adhesive is extremely handy like when doing inlays. Woodturning with wood and epoxy makes some absolutely stunning pieces. Making imitation micarta is fun for all sorts of projects from woodturning turning to knife handles to inlays. (Cam’s (from BlackTail Studio) denim project is a form of that.) Even some tables are crazy, wacky and brilliant. I feel epoxy opened up new territory for creating items for businesses.
Knot filling is extremely useful versus filler, putty or the sawdust/glue because finish on any of those can go horribly wrong. However, I very rarely use black (even on walnut). Deep chocolate browns are my thing. If I don’t want it to be very noticeable then I do more color matching to the knot’s color.
It is a beautiful dresser! I do have one area of confusion. I believe you had stated you wanted this to be a set with your headboard. I assume you were referring to your wave headboard. The wave headboard was organic modern (flowing) yet this is more mid century modern (linear). Am I missing something? Not being critical just trying to understand the choices made since they are a set.
Fair point, I think epoxy would have more appeal to me of it wasn’t used so frequently as a gimmick if you know what I mean. And good question about the set. I have kind of a mix of organic and hard angled shapes in my bedroom set so both pieces complement other furniture in there as well. I agree that the dresser is more of a brutalist design while the hardboard is much more free form.
Wow! I sincerely appreciate your new(er) design. Very inspirational.
Glad you like it!
Yes epoxy! I have seen some really cool uses of epoxy beyond bright blue on walnut which is silly and a bit overdone IMO. I would love to purchase plans for this dresser, then change it up to do something different on the front drawer faces. 😌
Noted! I haven’t finished the plans for this one yet but may do so in the future.
Great stuff again! love the through legs
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks, I think they turned out pretty cool.
Amazing build it turned out beautiful
Thanks you very much!
I appreciate real brass or copper powder + epoxy being used in knots, and any kind of design because the softness of the metals accentuate “defects” etc.
Right on
Very unique and attractive piece. I like the Chapters, it is so easy to get to that crucial bit of information and the very dry jokes.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
what a clean piece! that looks awesome!!
I think so too, thanks!
I’d love to have plans for this to try build it for sure!
Awesome! I’m hoping to have them wrapped up in the next couple days.
Yes to epoxy....it has it's place and purpose. Great piece by the way! Very neat!
Thank you! Cheers!
Loving it sharp beautiful 🎉
Thank you so much!
Yeah, epoxy. But I'm not especially into the river tables. But I love turned wood/epoxy mixes, like a shaving brush or fountain pen with wood burl and acrylic.
Yeah that’s a good use for epoxy
nice work, epoxy yes
Thanks!
Epoxy all depends. Some pieces look good with it. Others it sticks out like a sore thumb.
That is very true
That is so cool
Thank you so much!
WOW! This one is killer man!
Thank you!
Wow, just wow. Brilliant work.
Thank you very much!
So dope! Subscribed.
Thanks man! Welcome to the channel
Yeah epoxy!
One thing I would mention, I have a similar chest of dresser that I made, and the drawers ended up racking with the Blum drawer slides. Turns out, if your drawers are wider than they are long, they need a stabilizer bar to prevent one drawer slide from being pulled out more than the other, thus causing some instability over time.
Interesting, I’ll have to keep an eye on it. So far so good, but thanks for the heads up.
@@TimberBiscuitWoodworks It will generally happen after you load the drawer with more weight. I believe they're called "Blum Tandem Lateral Stabilizer Bar". Good luck :)
This is my first time visiting your channel found through Reddit. Love the build and the piece overall! Look forward to going through the rest of your page.
Thank you! And welcome to the channel!
No epoxy. I use it mostly for voids, like you, and to enhance the wood. If that means using a small amount to make a well-designed river table, then yes. Love your videos, love your Dad jokes.
Thank you!
No to epoxy I use it just to fill in knots and voids
I'm with ya there
Beautiful! Love the Cherry, love love the figure in the walnut: More sap wood, striations and variation pls! I love walnut but it’s used so often I love to see when it has some character to it and especially when other species are used like Cherry, Hickory and Mahogany
Thank you! Yeah, my wife tried talking me into my sapwood with this one but I just struggle with getting it to match up like I want it to. Maybe on the next one
@@TimberBiscuitWoodworks ohh I gotcha, good point! That’s tough because you’re right, you might use more wood or not be able to get it to match up well. Thank you for that, I haven’t built a large enough projects to face that issue yet so I’ll keep that in mind. Regardless beautiful project!
@@jewdd1989 No problem, and thanks again!
No epoxy. I'm sort of on th edge for epoxy though. People like Cam from BlackTail Studios make the only epoxy tables I like, but sometimes that's even a bit over the top.
I really like the way this project turned out. I feel those grooves you made for the drawer faces really sets it apart and makes this piece so much better than a standard dresser.
I would also never have thought about having the legs go all the way through the top either. Looks really good, Shane 👍
Thanks man! Yeah, I love how the drawer fronts help enforce the hard lines and the legs help to frame them.
I hate epoxy tables so no. But I like the way you used it in this project. The drawers turned out beautifully. Great job and thanks for sharing. Oh and I’d buy plans for this project.
Thank you, and noted!
Epoxy yeah!!
Awesome!
I definitely think epoxy has its place, but I see it more for utility in finer woodworking. That said, I have seen some fascinating artistic furniture done with epoxy (river tables not included).
I agree with you there, great point!
I love the look of this cabinet. I was concerned the continuous grain on the drawer fronts would be obscured by the ridges, but it really works well. Overall, that is one very nice set of drawers!! Personally, I use epoxy like you do, so…no epoxy. ;). I have a concern about the drawer pulls. I think, over time, the drawers are going to rack because the pull is all to one side. I’d really love if you could do a follow-up on that after you’ve used the drawers for a while.
Thank you so much! I’ll definitely do an update but I’ve had good results with these slides so I don’t foresee any issues.
@@TimberBiscuitWoodworks Thanks for the feedback. I’ll have to check out those slides. That would solve some design issues for me, too. :)
No problem!
Came for the woodworking, stayed for the jokes. That cabinet turned out awesome, great work!
Haha, awesome! And thank you!
I noticed that you did the routing with the bowl bit in one pass. What router/bit are you using that it doesn't bog down removing that much material in hardwood?
I have a SpinRite motor and that was a CMT bit. I highly recommend both
Yo my dude, I really like your vids and would like to keep you around for years to come. Please watch your health (diet).
Also, your workbench is too pretty, I'd be worried working on that and damaging it.
I appreciate it, I’m not going anywhere.
Yes epoxy
Nice!
I'm going to be honest, I love the dresser, the video was great, the wood used is awesome, however the finish that's on there does not do the piece any justice what so ever, I'd love to see a follow up video where you clean that oil off and put something like rubio monocoat pure on it.
Thanks! Ah yes, Rubio Monocoat, don’t get me wrong I love it for certain things, but it’s not my go-to. I much prefer a wax and oil blend over the hard wax finish of Rubio, but to each their own.
A bushel of sticks? Why not a gaggle, or a flock?
Bundle, bale, batch
@TimberBiscuitWoodworks believe me brother, I've burdened my brain beyond belief with the billions of...bifferent.........bames. Well that didn't work.
Yeah epoxy!
Nice!
No to epoxy, except in knot holes. It’s woodworking not plastic working.
Haha, I agree
NO EPOXY ---
Yes saw dust and glue
Haha I like the purest approach
No epoxy, I'd rather use Starbond CA since you can use accelerator instead of waiting for days with epoxy but it's so much cheaper using cheap tinted epoxy
Yeah, for smaller stuff that's the route I would take as well.
It's OK in some design epoxy
You’re right, I think sometimes it makes sense
No epoxy!
I hear ya!
Yeah Epoxy. In moderation.
Moderation is important
No epoxy, too expensive for my taste!
Great point!
Yeah epoxy
I think it has its place.
Meh epoxy, I’m a fan on understated designs that incorporate epoxy and using it to create beauty pieces from wood that would be almost unusable.
That's true, it does seem to work best at the extremes.
You... you finished it with the drawer slides on it?
What about the wood under the drawer slides? lmao
Yeah, it'll be alright
@@TimberBiscuitWoodworks prime craftsmanship!
The finish isn't really protecting anything under the slides, and risking the drawers and drawer faces moving to apply finish there isn't worth the risk.
