I agree with you 100%! Ana is my "go to" website for all of my builds. I have even combined a few of her plans together to make a custom build. Very easy to read and execute building plans.
Great work Ana. I like how it takes a smaller footprint but allows for plenty of storage vertically as well as built to use a 3/4” sheet of plywood to make it a solid build. The Kreg 720 Pro is my favorite to date as well. 👍
I started woodworking about 10 years ago and the first projects I made were all from Ana. Her designs are great, accessible, and well thought out. Thanks a lot for the inspiration! I’m a (hobbyist) woodworker today because you gave me the means to start! God bless you!
I love your free plans Ana. You are the most awesome woman carpenter I have seen. You keep everything simple. You seem so humble, and make works of art. 😊
I was directed to you by someone in a facebook group and I am blown away! Everything that Ive envisioned myself doing, you are doing. I have never worked with tools so thank you in advance!
I love to watch you work, just like a professional carpenter, I wish I can do the same, this need a great deal of skill and patience. And a big space like yours house, but it always nice to watch how you calculate And put things together, thank you so much for sharing.😊❤
Love the design. Watch from the beginning when you created that awesome Tiny Home with moveable rising bed, open space and clever desk. Your helpers are probably all grown up. Blessings
This video brings back so many memories of my grandfather who was a carpenter. I still own the dresser he made me 58, almost 59, years ago when I was born. The bad part about my dresser is my youngest daughter took a knife to the edge of the top of it & it really upset me. But the damage is done now & I can't do anything about it either. Wish I had a good carpenter who lived near me.
Aye! Ana always makes it look so easy! You’re too awesome Ana!! Just finished my outdoor furniture a-la-Ana! Hmm do I start on indoor stuff now? 😉🥰 Thanks Ana for always inspiring me!!
An awesome build Ana, drawers can be tricky but you did a great job. Did you use a paint or a stain? Also was a primer necessary? Thanks, appreciate all you videos.
Very nice dresser Ana! This would be perfect for my oldest daughter bday gift her 12th bday coming up in 2weeks n i didnt know what to get her!! I do now.:) thanks for sharing this!
Thank you so much, Anna for these plans! I printed off the shopping list, are the quantities, correct? 12 - 1 x 6’s, 30- 1 x 8’s, 10 - 1 x 10’s? I just wanna make sure when I head to the store. I have the right amount of wood and don’t have to go back! Thank you so much for doing this video and providing free plans!
Your woodworking skills are fantastic! Love the stuff you make and find you very generous sharing your plans 😊. Just one question, do you ever do the measurements in metric?
Thank you, I don't have a metric conversion, but here is a forum for our friends in the metric system www.ana-white.com/woodworking-projects/forums/designing-and-using-plans/converting-plans-metric www.ana-white.com/community-projects/metric-conversion-em-makes-home
Thank you so much for these very informative videos. Just got into doing some "basic" wood working and looking to advance my own skills. I notice you use a crown stapler a lot for your wood working, especially attaching pieces together like the back of the dresser to the frame. I don't own a crown stapler but have a 18ga Brad Nailer. Should I invest in a crown stapler as well? Thank you.
Finished design looks fantastic painted white. If I was going to build this, I would want to consider modifying the plans slightly to accommodate a 1/4" thick back panel, instead of leaving the back open. Ana, do you find that leaving the back open affects anything (e.g. keeping the frame squared up, etc.?) Or does it hold up fine with an open back?
Thank you In my opinion with the pocket holes and glue a back isn’t necessary. Of course adding a back will add considerable strength and rigidness. The easiest method is to cut a 1/4” panel so it covers just half of the 2x2 legs on the back, so it would be hard to see from the sides.
Hi Ana many thanks for this video! I want to make this drawer as my firat project. Please what are the tools i need to get and the size of wood to buy as well? Many thanks
Here is the free plan as well as a getting started guide www.ana-white.com/woodworking-projects/mid-height-dresser-5-drawers-cabin-collection www.ana-white.com/beginning-woodworking
May I ask...how much did all materials cost and total time of labor PLS. I've been trying to build dressers myself, but trying to figure out the total cost of something like this and time
Yes of course This dresser took me three days, each day about 4 hours. This includes ripping wood and gathering material and finishing. The cost is estimated about $150-$200. I use locally milled 1x6 and 1x8 boards and it is significantly cheaper, but plywood here is ridiculous, so hard to give a definite estimate. This dresser is inspired by a $1300 dresser, www.potterybarnkids.com/products/camp-drawer-chest/?catalogId=10&sku=8658914&cm_ven=PLA&cm_cat=Google&cm_pla=Furniture%20%3E%20Dressers&cm_ite=8658914_21215262696_aud-1187756525248%3Apla-2299963402265&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw4MSzBhC8ARIsAPFOuyV8-w9h3xc3qpXaubMphjdH5hnEuZl5wnV5uYHGyPKMVjHZtbh8FD8aArsnEALw_wcB so while not cheap, much less than buying!
Why? A person can pick up a dresser for free almost every day of the week on the curb or shop thrift stores or the web for local ones dirt-cheap. Even if you get the wood for free you'll easily have $150 in the slides and pulls. Imagine all the extra time you'd save for making something unique by just refinishing a found dresser.
OR....you find the joy in making one yourself. Not everyone wants to refinish a found or thrift dresser. You do you, but don't attack a person for wanting to make something from scratch either.

I don't think enough of us say thank you enough for all of your wonderful plans and ideas!
You certainly make it easier and fun!
Wow, thank you! 😊
I agree with you 100%! Ana is my "go to" website for all of my builds. I have even combined a few of her plans together to make a custom build. Very easy to read and execute building plans.
I appreciate how you always think about efficiency, not wasting wood, and using readily available materials.
Her time is a lot cheaper than mine, I guess.
Thanks for watching, I try to be as efficient as possible!
Great work Ana. I like how it takes a smaller footprint but allows for plenty of storage vertically as well as built to use a 3/4” sheet of plywood to make it a solid build. The Kreg 720 Pro is my favorite to date as well. 👍
Thank you!! Couldn’t agree more, the kreg 720 is a huge asset to woodworking at an affordable price.
Looks like a have plans for this weekend. Thanks a million

Beautiful
Thank you!
Divaaaaaa you are so AMAZING. Now can I have the dresser?❤❤❤❤
I love your videos. I miss videos of your life in Alaska.

Hey Ana. 2 videos in a week. Nice dresser and the take down chair is a great idea for around the fire. 👍
Thanks! 😊
Very nice, you’re such a great craftsman person
Thank you very much!
Great job all around Ana.

Great video
Nice dresser. 👍 Thanks Ana. 😁❣️
Thank you! 😊
Sensacional ❤
Thank you, Ana, very cool.
Thank you!
Excellent video, Thanks
An awesome build Ana, drawers can be tricky but you did a great job. Did you use a paint or a stain? Also was a primer necessary? Thanks, appreciate all you videos.
This is a paint, I try to find paint and primer in one. Thanks for watching!
@@AnaWhiteDIY in your opinion do you think paint and primer in one is better than primer alone and then paint?
Very nice dresser Ana! This would be perfect for my oldest daughter bday gift her 12th bday coming up in 2weeks n i didnt know what to get her!!
I do now.:) thanks for sharing this!
Wonderful, happy birthday to her!
Ana white que trabalho lindo. Eu também gostaria de fazer o meu porém, não sei usar o pocket Holley

So I followed the link to the dresser and the color is called Simply White which made me laugh since Ana White explained how to make it simply. :)😅

OR....you find the joy in making one yourself. Not everyone wants to refinish a found or thrift dresser. You do you, but don't attack a person for wanting to make something from scratch either.
The ones on the curb and at the thrift store are more then likely built out of particle board and won't last.
Once again a great project. Thank you for sharing
My pleasure!
