Looks like it would make a great night stand. Just a bit short for a dresser but my wife wants a pair of these now.
Love watching these videos, I’ve made content videos for Kreg Australia via Carbatec & thoroughly enjoyed the process as my belief is that Kreg has revolutionised the DIY market.
I posted this on fb and I’m gunna post it again; I LOVE this! So beautiful and it looks so high end. You’re so good at this, Shara! Thank you for sharing and for this wonderful tutorial.
Always a great video, and this one is included.
You did a wonderful job.
I liked your dresser project and enjoyed the video. Thank You
Great project. This dresser looks great. I love how it turned out. And such a perfect little size. I love it.
Bravo!!
Very nice build and great video with lots of tips. I agree about inserts, hex head ones are much better. And steel, not brass. Also you can lubricate them with some glue, just seal the bottom with some tape so that the threads wouldn’t clog. They will go in much easier. I use super glue and epoxy would work as well
Everyone should subscribe to woodshop diaries if you’re on here!! Shara does such amazing work
Great job. Nicely done.
Use sanding sealer before you stain soft woods such as the pine you’re using.
Great job Shara. I have just now got my new woodshop started. I have started watching all your videos. Very easy to watch and learn and not to long. Thank you very much for helping.
This is a beautiful piece of furniture, thank you for sharing. I have a question though, why do you use 3/4" plywood for the drawers? I have always used 1/2" plywood or softwoods (pine, fir) for drawers and this has been very successful for drawers. IS it because this is what you already had in the shop?
You did a really nice job on the dresser! It looks great.
Great! I am your follower of Guatemala I really enjoy and learn for your channel
Looks great, how long does it take the hole proyect? Motivating completely for begginers.
Why can I never stain anything to look that good ha. Probably because its mt least favorite part
Nice work! Such a talented beautiful woman!
The dresser is beautiful, Shara. I enjoyed watching you build it. Thanks for the assembly details and thanks to Kreg for the free plans.
Looks fantastic, nice details on the draw fronts
🙂 Good build and thank you for sharing….
Congratulations Kreg is awesome 👏
For the inserts, you can also use a bolt (thread s of the insert) with two nuts on the bolt snug against each other. Screw the nuts on the same as the depth of the insert. You can use some CA to keep these locked in place too. Screw the insert onto the bolt, then use a nut driver, or socket with ratchet, and screw the inserts in.
Another well done project Shara.
👍👍
Great work as always! I used my Rip-Cut for the first time this weekend along with the Ryobi 18v. I was ripping 3/4" plywood. I had trouble with the saw "stalling" in the cut. This was with a new blade. Any tips on using the Rip-Cut? Thanks!
A nice build. Could of used 2×4 for the bottom frame and youd of had the width for the feet? Or got corner braces?
Looks good, as usual. With regard to the brass inserts, my understanding is the slots are not for screwdrivers. They can help to cut threads if installed the other way up. A bolt with a nut to lock on the insert can make installation easier.
Nice, except for the pulls!
Love it, as always!! Your projects are simple so even beginners like me can follow along and make them. Great look as well, I love the fluting design on the top two drawers, really ties in the moulding details.
Stunning build as always Shara you never fail to surprise me with your creativity. Love the finish, one of my favorites as well as provincial. Was also surprised you put a back on it, I know how you feel about backs on dressers or drawers. Looking forward to your next project
I should have recognized Shara’s fine workmanship before she popped in 😀
The vide and information below are done very well. Thanks.
