I want to thank you. I started watching TH-cam videos for the furniture builds, and you are practically the only one still doing them. I don't really want to watch videos on cutting boards, or clamp storage, though I am sure someone else likes that stuff, it's boring as hell to me. So I want you to know your videos are appreciated.
Thank you so much for this comment. Seriously I appreciate that you appreciate the content. I often question if I’m doing the right thing when I see those kinds of channels far surpassing me. But I also cringe a little at the thought of making videos about…well, nothing haha. So I keep chugging along. Thank YOU for watching and following along. I truly do appreciate that.

I love watching you build ALL of your projects! You make it look so easy that I want to build them even though I don’t need them. Your instructional videos like how measure for and build drawers is so easy to follow and understand. I also love how you build projects for your parents. Speaking as a parent, they’re so fortunate to have you.
Like someone else said, love that you keep doing what you’re good at instead of chasing lane trends. You really make building REAL furniture approachable and less intimidating. 🙌🏻
I appreciate that and am glad you enjoy the videos! I don’t think I could ever make it doing the trends. I’d lose interest so quick 🙈😅 I’m so grateful for those that enjoy these simple project videos still 🙌
You’re so kind. Thank you so much for cheering me on and that’s so great to hear your wife found some inspiration from these projects! Here’s to some amazing builds coming out of her workshop 🙌🔨
Wow! I haven't watched one of your videos in a while, moving, writing, and publishing books, etc. You're looking like you're preparing to be the next Lady Thor. 💪
Thank you! Your stuff is so practical and with a little practice is so achievable. It also looks great, I'm going to try something similar, probably won't be anything as nice but will try.
You're my favorite woodworker to watch Shara. It's amazing what I learn by watching you build your projects and I'm always impressed with the results. I know it takes a lot of work to put these videos together, but it's appreciated more than you know. Thank you!
Great looking dresser. Love how clean it looks and how you added that little detail of the two legs to prevent it from sinking. I'll make sure I do that with my build.
My wife recently watched one of your videos with me, and was impressed with your talent! This is a beautiful dresser! Also - you must have done some serious work on those arms and shoulders over the winter!
Shara, when you mentioned in your past video that you contemplated a nine drawer dresser I was mentally rooting for the nine drawer version. So I'm so happy you did this and the result is spectacular. My Wife bought me the small Kreg pocket hole jig for my birthday this past May and once I get past the nineteen door fronts and 10 drawer fronts I might get to use it on this bedroom set. Again, I appreciate you putting the plans into a bundled package. Fun to see Lucy finding a cool spot on the garage floor and I suppose Budd's is snoozing someplace comfortable as well. Isn't this hot weather great for fast glue times! Love your work. Thanks for Sharing!
Nice job! This second attempt matches the set MUCH better than the first. Many times in life we can't take a second try at something to do it better when we're not satisfied with the first one. One of the things that I love about woodworking (and crafts in general) is that you often DO have the ability to take that second attempt.
Thank you! I loved that 6 drawer dresser design as a stand alone, but I’m definitely liking this better as a matching piece. You’re absolutely right-often second chances aren’t possible but woodworking usually allows it. Which is great because mistakes are always made-at least in my case 😆🙈 I appreciate you watching and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
I’ve learned a lot from you through the years. Thanks for continuing to put out interesting content. The nine drawer dresser is probably my favorite piece. You mentioned needing longer pipe clamps. I had the same situation. When I have my pipes cut to length at the big box store, I always ask them to thread both ends. That way, I can use a $3 coupler to combine pipes when I need longer ones.
Thank you! I’m glad I could reuse those little off cuts for something useful-like trim! I appreciate you watching and hope you have a wonderful weekend 😎
Shara, that is such a beautiful build. I love how the grain flows on the drawer fronts. You're a master crafts person at what you do. As always, thanks for sharing and looking forward to your next video.
This is a really beautiful piece of furniture, Shara. And I agree - it is a better visual match to the design of the bed in your collection. Thank you for sharing.
Looks great Shara! You never use glue for your pocket hole joints? I do at times but I get tired of the slip-sliding around and lately have just assembled dry. Seems plenty strong enough but I do like a belt and suspenders approach. Thanks for all you do .... your work is very impressive!
Thank you! “Never” isn’t quite true, but I don’t use glue on EVERY pocket hole joint. I usually do with face frames and 2x2s and in some other cases just depending on what I’m doing. But in many cases, I don’t. I find it quite messy and I’m not really convinced of the benefit a lot of the time. Pocket holes alone are usually plenty strong, especially once the entire project is considered vs just a single joint. Anyway, thank you so much for watching and following along. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
That dresser turned out so beautiful Shara! Your bedroom set is totally complete now. What a great feeling of accomplishment! Thanks for another awesome video with great narration. Only problem was I missed seeing Bubby make an appearance but noticed Lucy was having a lazy summer nap while you worked away!
When you iron on your edge banding put a piece of shop towel over the banding before you iron it. I find that this completely eliminates any burning of the banding.
Very nice! This is a great project and you make it look easy! lol…. I don’t plan to tackle a dresser anytime soon, but, if I do, I’ll watch this 100 times before I start! Please keep on building and I hope you’re having a nice weekend and a great Independence Day! Btw… I missed Bubs and Lucy!!!
I think the drawers dividers was the right think to do. I like the detail between, goes with the berticle dividers. And you can see the continuous grain. Looks really good. The white oak, was that from the regular big box store you normally go to? Ours does carry white oak at all.
Thank you! I do like the extra detail with the dividers, but I think it could have gone either way. Obviously, I’m not changing it now, though 😆🙈 this was red oak-it’s available locally in my big box stores. That’s actually why I used red for this whole set-white oak isn’t available in my area either. Otherwise, I’d rather have used white.
Ahhh I completely forgot to mention about the back. I’ve said it in several previous videos so I guess it slipped my mind. I have a personal pet peeve about dresser backs. I don’t add them to my own dressers, but if you wanted to add a back panel, you can nail/staple a 1/4” plywood panel across the back. Years ago we had a nice dresser we bought from the store and the drawers were small. Things were constantly falling out the back and getting stuck. If there wasn’t a back panel, jams would have been an easy fix. But there was, and it drove me nuts. So when I started building my own, I skipped the back. I know most people probably disagree with me (that’s fine), but I just don’t get why dressers need backs 🤷♀️😆
Okay, glad to see this one! I remember you said a while back that you'd be sharing this piece. It's a really nice addition to the suite. FWIW, I like the dividers and the subtle differences in the drawer face treatment. Folks, let's just all appreciate the attention to detail here... at 6:00 and preceding, all the keeping track of the various setbacks just makes my eyes cross. That's why Shara builds nice furniture pieces and I build shop "furniture" if you can call it that. Poor Lucy looked hot... when's Mr. Cool showing up?😅
Yay for Team drawer dividers!🙌 also-I have found I love doing little tiny dimensional changes where I can to add detail without doing anything fancy 😅 but it can get confusing 🙈 Lucy and Bubs (and me too haha) were both chillin under the fans in the shop. We run the Mr cool in the afternoons to get the shop cooled down for Bubs to stay the night in. But during the day, we like the doors open 😎 Lou goes out to bake in the sun (I call it charging her batteries), then comes back in to cool off 😆 over and over and over all day long. She gets grouchy if the doors are shut haha. As always, I truly appreciate you watching and following along and I hope you and yours have a wonderful weekend!
That’s a beautiful dresser! When using pocket hole joinery do you ever experience the fist piece “walking” as the screw enters into the 2nd piece of wood? I do and it’s frustrating. I hope that made sense?
Always wondered how you manage to just toss those 4 x 8 pieces of plywood around like it was nothing… and now we know. You’ve inspired this fat old lady to dust off the workout equipment 🍻 Also, love that dresser, another fabulous build 👍
Another nice build! How many views do we need to get you so you can add HVAC to your shop? I could tell it’s summer. Thx for the video. I enjoy watching your builds.
Thank you! I actually added heat and air a couple months ago (it was in a previous video). But we (me and the animals) like the doors open when possible while I work/film. We turn the air on late afternoons to cool the shop back down quickly for Bubs to stay in at night.
@@WoodshopDiaries Really, how did I miss that video? I’m subscribed. I’ll have to go back and watch it. I’ll also have to see if I’ve missed any others. Thx for sharing your skill, knowledge, and artistic view.
@mwoody4560 haha you didn’t miss anything major 😆 it was in this video: BEFORE & AFTER: DIY Garage Makeover with Storage th-cam.com/video/0eCVYSVM0n4/w-d-xo.html
Great build shara, amazes me how you manage to use pocket screws with no clamps because when i do it they gain a life if there own and move all over the place lol🤣😂🤣
Ahhh I completely forgot to mention about the back. I’ve said it in several previous videos so I guess it slipped my mind. I have a personal pet peeve about dresser backs.

I don’t like backs on my dressers. If it was a cabinet style where it was just plywood for the sides and no additional supports, it might help with stability. But with the framing of this design, it didn’t need anything extra to keep it square.
Hi! Material cost varies greatly by location and changes daily. For the most accurate estimate, I recommend checking the materials list I included in the video description against the prices in your location at the time of building as what costs $100 here today could cost $200 somewhere else tomorrow.

YOU AINNNNNT LYING! Shara is simply the best!
Shows what you can achieve with simple tools. You build uncomplicated pieces but they look great as you have a fine eye for detail. Bravo!
Laying on the beach and seeing your video pop was like.....wow my day did get better

Looks great. Just bought the plans. I have some cherry plywood I've been looking for a project for.
Hi! Thanks so much for your purchase and support of my small business! I bet this would be amazing in cherry 😍😍
Beautiful peice, made me want to do one. Just what I needed to get back in the shop, Thank you.
My dream house gonna need a lil workshop like this
I love the simplicity of your builds.
5:15 I just came to say look at those guns Shara! Takes some serious strength to move those heavy sheets of plywood. Love all your videos.
Great looking dresser. Love how clean it looks and how you added that little detail of the two legs to prevent it from sinking. I'll make sure I do that with my build.
Hermoso trabajo.. cómo siempre, te felicito, gracias por compartir.... Un abrazo desde Chile 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱 i

Beautiful dresser and well built. The small strips you add really gives it definition. Great job. Have a grat weekend Shara. Steve
Thank you! I’m glad I could reuse those little off cuts for something useful-like trim! I appreciate you watching and hope you have a wonderful weekend 😎
I love your projects, just finishing up the outdoor chunky bench seat. Would really love to see an alcove unit set (either side of fireplace) 🙏

Fantastic talent the grain in the timber is gorgeous to this day i still cant get my draws square
This is a really beautiful piece of furniture, Shara. And I agree - it is a better visual match to the design of the bed in your collection. Thank you for sharing.
This tutorial is fantastic! The design looks both functional and stylish. Definitely worth the effort for the added drawer space.
Nice well done, making a dresser is on my to-do list and I appreciate the tutorial & tricks along the way!
Looks great. I think you tied the theme in very nicely.
WOW!! One dresser for bulky things, and now a matching dresser with assorted drawers. PERFECT!!
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed the two different designs!
Very nice. Straightforward construction - and not a fastener in sight.
What a gorgeous dresser! I love all the details and seeing it come together. Well done!
Thank you so much! 💕 I appreciate you watching and hope you have an amazing weekend!
It’s so perfect that I want one like it for my self😍. Such a great job
Really beautiful work, Shara! Nicely done!!! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thank you so much! I hope you and yours have a wonderful weekend!
All of your furniture pieces look very well crafted! Awesome work👍🏾
Always makes it look so easy to build nice furniture.
Ms. Shara that dresser is incredible. Thanks so much for the video
The design looks great and so does the finish! Just excellent work. Thanks for sharing this.
Beautiful dresser, Shara. I love it and I loved watching you build it. Thanks for the video. I'll be watching next weekend.

Hi just discovered you. Love the channel and that mid-century piece is on point.

If you were to build this dresser and paint instead of stain, would you recommend a different type of lumber?
I’d use pine lumber and birch or maple plywood if painting
