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.

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 kzread.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.

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.
Ahh. Classic foureyes music choice, classic foureyes style. Fantastic. 😍

Man that's a lovely woodpecker set you got! Awesome video and project as well, it's really something to come up with something new, and get to the point of organising everything, planning, etc.... and building it, to have the patience to get to the end of the project. Thanks a lot for sharing! This one was wholesome.

Congratulations guys! I'm SO happy you're able to realize this part of your dream! While I'm not the biggest fan of mid-century modern furniture, that just shows how much I enjoy your content. You've really inspired me to go down a similar path in the Arts & Crafts genre. Looking forward to future projects from both of you and will start building up my t-shirt collection.

Chris your work is always most precise and clean. Then your using natural grain material with no need of stains or synthetic laminates. The influence of your region is highly fab. Thank you for another great video.

Hey James, on the Rocking chair page we put "* Roughly 25-30 BF (specifics are covered in the plans)" - it's always hard to answer that questions succinctly, but we figure that is good enough for budgeting's sake.

Chris, you were the first maker YT maker channel I found, that really resonated with my own personality and style of visual presentation. I’ve been following you and the boys for a while now, and I think it’s awesome you’re finally settling into the groove that you’ve been striving for, for a while. Your enthusiasm and excitement is pretty obvious on the podcast, and it definitely breeds motivation. Keep up the dope work dude.
