You’re my favorite woodworking channel to watch on TH-cam! Appreciate all your videos

[@DIYMAN]

Thank you so much! That means a lot

[@dennisvertrees4001]

Great project good job second project I built in my shop was a work bench I hated building the first one I did on the floor 😂

[@JohnCalebWarren]

That's beautiful work! Good job guys!! Now all it lacks is the kids trying to climb to the top using the drawers like a trampoline

[@DIYMAN]

😂 so true! Thanks!

[@julietphillips1991]

I was wondering why you were back to working on the floor...they need an awesome workbench like the one you built! Yes, your brothers-in-law make a video extra funny and that dresser is all good! Just so they know, DIY MAN does not make mistakes...simple demos for when things go sideways and how to fix them!

[@DIYMAN]

😂 yeah, it all can be done on the floor! They definitely make the videos a lot more fun! Thanks for the comment!

[@ifiwooddesigns]

Wow! 13K! You are beginning to gain steam! Keep up the great work and continue the free plans and informative explanations. P.S. Back to working off the floor method! 🤣

[@DIYMAN]

Thanks man! Yeah, finally starting to get a little traction! Lol, hopefully the next project is on a workbench! Thanks for your support!

14:40 I saw a vid recently that used a smart (IMO) way to attach drawer faces. They predrilled the hardware holes in the face, aligned and mounted the faces using woodscrews from the FRONT, into the drawer. Then they just drilled out the holes in the drawer using the hole the woodscrew made. I thought it looked much easier.
Good looking dresser!!

[@DIYMAN]

I like that idea. Thank you!

[@jorgepallares7149]

Liking the videos. I saw a fastner storage cabinet any video or plans on that

[@DIYMAN]

Thank you! I’m sorry, I don’t. I’d like to make something like that eventually

in the video that sure looks like 3/4" plywood for the drawers. weird. good video 👍

[@DIYMAN]

Thanks! It’s actually 19/32. Measurements in the video have been adjusted so it can be built from 1/2” plywood.

[@GeorgiaRidgerunner]

D.I.Y. Man I'm building a a dresser from construction lumber too
Did you copy my idea
If you did kudos to you
Your build looks better than mine

[@DIYMAN]

I didn’t, this was a design that I came up with based on two dressers that my sister in law was interested in. I’ll have to check yours out though. Thanks!

[@thethreeamigos3892]

Did someone say Three Amigos?? 🧐

[@hellypalli]
