Designing and Building a Dresser - Woodworking Projects

[@leandrobernardo8335]

Love this book! kzbin.infoUgkxpCNxqmAkyjN6NPx1fyB7QiEFWyO5mUWL it is simply one-of-a-kind! I really love it, because karah explained all tools required to have the job done, not mentioning the fabulous diy pallets ideas. I'm pretty sure this will be a fresh start in my new endeavour. Amazon was great, they delivered on time. Thank you!

[@htxb]

Man, your videos are on a whole different level from the typical build videos of other wood workers. Rather than go into heavy detail about technique and method, you tell the story behind what you are building. It makes the videos more than just informative...it makes them truly entertaining. Thanks for another great one. I really dressered it.

[@ericlee1624]

I found this and your other videos while looking for ideas on building a new dresser for my 13 year old daughter who is finally outgrowing her old bedroom downstairs, and moving to one of the upstairs bedrooms. Apparently, I'm a huge fan of mid century modern style, and especially your take on it. As a new hobbyist woodworker, its easy to get caught up in your narratives as much as the project, but your attention to detail and camera angles makes it easy enough to follow the process. Great job Chris, and thanks for the inspiration.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Eric...really appreciate that and glad you're digging the style and the video. Love hearing when people feel inspired after watching a video :)

[@oldgeezerLV]

Your video is the best example of when something is made for all the right reasons, the beauty of it will speak for itself. Example: those mistakes you spoke of, in my opinion, became a wonderful customized look.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Forrest :O) Yeah, there are very few mistakes that completely ruin a project. Luckily this one worked out.

[@DefenderOfTheLarder]

So, I started watching this video thinking it was going to help me, a total beginner, build my first dresser only to find it wasn't even close. Not wanting to waste my time, I was about to click out....but I started to appreciate the visual artistry and your storytelling gift, the music and especially the warmth in the details of the story of you and your friend and your wives and children. What a beautiful video. I was completely drawn in like a fly to a web, but with a happy ending :) I'm glad you shared it, and I'm really glad I stayed.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks! Glad you were able to find enjoyment in it. Yeah, I don't think of the videos as "tutorial" more entertainment, with the opportunities for a few takeaways depending on your current skill level...and hopefully a little bit of motivation :)

[@fernandokrawchuk6150]

Chris: This video is great, not just for your amazing designs and craftsmanship but, and more important from my point of view, for the context behind the construction of the furniture. Thanks for your video!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Fernando :_

[@ericjohm]

Your videos are exceedingly watchable. The story, the work, the music. Seriously. You need an HGTV show of your own. Speaking of, the work... fantastic.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Eric. Write them a strongly worded letter :)

[@ericjohm]

Will do!!

[@frankingram3382]

I enjoyed the build, the commentary, the design, and the honesty concerning the mistakes. Oh yeah, I also enjoyed the video. God Bless my friend.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Frank :)

[@Hiksan5]

You make the best videos, Chris. Enjoyed the mix of shop and process film and a sound side of storytelling and mixed in guitar. Made for 3 levels of interest. Elegant!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Ty!

[@Nukioification]

I've only just joined your following but I find myself coming home from 16 hours at work, hoping to find you've uploaded a new video. I think they're absolutely breath taking.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Matthew. 16 hours! damn...that only leaves enough time for sleeping and doing it all again. Glad you could slip some KZbin in there :)

[@Gramarrowsmith]

Yet another of your videos that has managed to hold my interest from start to finish! I had no idea I was so interested in dressers??

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Dressers are very interesting. I'd say easily in the top 27 most interesting pieces of furniture :)

[@michaeldean4362]

Loved this more personal video. And I also like the cad snippets in the corner showing where the price belongs in the main piece. Keep up the brilliant work, and the beautiful cinematography.

[@michaeldean4362]

Piece*

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Michael. I was iffy on including those. I'll keep working on it to find an even better way to incorporate hopefully.

[@4mymoney2]

Your story time well working is so touching ....I almost cried myself but that maybe because I have Multiple Sclerosis. I have started doing my own home inmprovements and am about to start painting my first room and installing laminate flooring. I have not done these types of things before but feel that I can do this. It is not easy but I get a great deal of happiness out of doing DIY's. I want to do as much as I can while i still can. I have been in a wheelchair twice.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Hi Jessica. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and that you are taking advantage of time to do some projects. If you ever have any questions, etc... don't be afraid to shoot me an email. [e-mail]

[@4mymoney2]

thank you very much I will take you up on that. :)

[@larenemason1849]

I love this video. Not only is it informational but it's like a journal entry. Two forms of expression at once.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks LaRene :)

[@braniganrobertsonlaw]

Fantastic. I found your channel a few days ago. I appreciate your slow style and attention to detail. Driest & Bob are awesome, but they are not as much of a perfectionist as you. Keep them coming. Don't stop. Don't get tired of the effort. The effort is appreciated.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Branigan. We all have different skills and different goals. I like to think that each of us is best at what we aim to achieve. Though, I am definitely far from the best KZbin woodworker. :)

[@adamjones7497]

I had a best man speech all written out and partially memorized. Oddly this video has inspired me to up my game. Your thoughts in your videos are as clean as your lines. You really are an inspirational person. Subbed.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Adam...I've delivered 2 of those speeches, so I don't envy you. Best of luck with it though :-)

[@jamesking9378]

I really like the drawer and cabinet pulls. Very simple and clean. I guess you might even say I dresser them.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Nice! Appreciate it James

[@afakesmile3508]

i have to say this. i just figured out your channel and it's one of the best woodworking channels out there!!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Appreciate that :-)

[@ninjaex650]

Your videos bring me the most sincere joy of all the channels that I follow. There is always a special reason that you are doing what you do, and combined with the peaceful narration and music, the result is an amazing feeling for me while viewing. Excellent work, and thank you for sharing.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Levi...I appreciate that. Glad you are digging the channel. New video should be up very soon!

[@ninjaex650]

+Chris Salomone You're welcome. Looking forward to the next video.

[@gargomel2222]

Just wanted to say that while I have watched a great deal of woodworking channels I have yet to find one quite like yours. It has something very unique which I hope this channel maintains as it inevitably grows. I can't quite put my finger on it, but it's definitely there and keeps me coming back for more.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Gargomel. I plan on letting it evolve...but I think I've found the core of what my tone is for sure, and it should remain.

[@vinzaputra]

What a beautiful friendship and beautiful video as always. Can't wait for your next awesome woodwork Chris

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Vinza.

[@jumboca]

Love your videos. Get to learn from your excellent craftsmanship, but also love the human side to the craft which fully complements it all. Please keep them coming.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Will do Camilo. Always working on it :)

[@dylanmott5865]

super super awesome. I really like the video with the background of storytelling. The music in your videos makes me feel like I'm about to fall asleep, which is not a bad thing at all.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Dylan...glad you enjoyed all aspects. Now get some rest :)

[@Noethos]

This video was so weird, like an emotional rollercoaster.. I giggled from your stories, teared up as well and smiled as if I knew you and your friends. Strange to feel. All sweet, calm and zen. Beautiful and simple dresser tho, I'm sure they'll love it

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Noethos. Glad you enjoyed the video and the story. Never had a video of mine described as an Emotional Rollercoaster...but I'll definitely take it as a compliment :)

[@janiklill161]

I love to watch all your videos! you're not just a woodworker - you're great at telling stories and catching us with your videos!! thank you for your job - keep the good work up! greets from germany

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Janik...appreciate that. Greetings from the US

[@hfletcher39]

Beautiful. You were able to convey both your passion for woodworking and your friendship. Thanks for sharing.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Fletcher! Appreciate it.

[@conradscustomcabinetry5331]

I dresser this dresser. But seriously, you do a fantastic job of capturing the relaxed and inspired feeling of being in the shop and creating. Your attention to detail in your pieces gives me hope that our profession is not dying. I can't say enough good things about what you're doing. Keep it up, and I look forward to seeing your future builds. Subscribed.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Conrad. Appreciate that. Yeah, lots of people show time lapse footage. But that is so much the opposite of the actual feeling/pace of woodworking. At least for me.

[@benriniker9126]

Just watched your recent Walnut build of a very similar dresser and had to go back and watch the OG thanks again.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Ben...and this one is named after you :)

[@mi13estrellas]

Great piece and great story..... I think I might have got teary-eyed myself.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Sophie :)

[@Skalamusa]

You are without a shadow of a doubt one of my favorite content creators. Keep up that great work that you do.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Alexis...I really appreciate that :)

[@karltraunmuller7048]

I like your storytelling approach, opinionated, captivating, nice use of pauses, beautiful video shots, very unique aesthetics, both visually as, again, the music, love it, Zabriskie Point-ish... Very unique take on the subject, love it

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Karl :)

[@MrRitesh01]

Form & function. shows pure passion. loved this one too

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Ritesh!

[@joelove89]

not gonna lie, I love your skill with carpentry but most of the reason I watch your videos is your voice. I find myself listening to your videos while i work on projects more than actually watching them for the project you are doing haha.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Did you know that I started a Podcast? You might get more for your money with that :-) just search for "The Modern Maker Podcast" on itunes, android, etc...

[@joseguilherme12]

Wow, man, i cannot get enough of your vids, the weather in all vids are just on point! I love it!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Jose. Dude, it was 107 degrees the first weekend I spent working on this. Not fun :)

[@joseguilherme12]

Chris Salomone Haha, ok, i got it, keep it up with the good work, dude!!

[@woodenone669]

While the dresser may be "normal", the craftsman is quite unique. Great job, thumbs up and subbed.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks W1...appreciate it :)

[@chrishachet8622]

I loved this...more of a hand tool solid hardwood guy myself but I have a son wanting to marry his girlfriend and a daughter about to graduate from college. They both like modern furniture and will need plenty...this is very inspiring!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Hey Chris...that's cool. Sounds like you have lots of work ahead of you with gift making.

[@tyexpo]

Love your story telling

[@ReViveIndustries]

Outstanding. Love every element, both audio and visual. Well done. Again.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

thanks Revive. Appreciate it!

[@madjanx]

I couldn't agree more that handmade gifts are often the best way to let someone know what they mean to you. As a corollary, I loved the part of the intro where your kid ran into the frame during the tracking shot. Those are definitely the moments when you just have to laugh. Cheers!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Jason. When it happened I pretty much knew it was going up front.

[@jackrabbit08]

This has become one of my favorite channels on KZbin. I dresser everything about this. You don't have to be loud and outspoken in front of the camera to be full of personality. The work (wood and otherwise) just speaks for itself.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Jackrabbit. That is true...although, I am going to start yelling for all of my voice over work :) Just kidding.

[@calvinogood]

The best gift ever!

[@Mojo1996]

I have to say there is something about watching your videos that has a calming effect. I really enjoy them keep up the builds thank you.

[@HarlyGuy13]

I can’t imagine how moved your friends must be. A beautiful piece from the heart and soul. How cool is that!!!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

They continue to enjoy it :)

[@Mongrel85]

Found you through Jay Bates - nice design and sentiment, when I am making a gift I find so much more passion comes through in my design and craftsmanship - they are the pieces I am most proud of. Looking forward to seeing more of your stuff Chris, cheers from Down Under

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Man. Appreciate it...glad you found me! Cheers from the US.

[@mauromiranda9299]

beautiful beautiful beautiful your job... congratulations!

[@kato2531]

Just a little nicer than ikea... Hahaha.. I'm kidding it's a lot nicer than ikea.. The beauty is in the simplicity. IMHO.. The story of u and Chris is pretty cool too.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Lin..."slightly nicer than Ikea" is what I was shooting for :)

[@amente]

The way you tell stories and design are simply amazing. Love your videos. You don't put too many videos and that use to make me sad but when you upload a video and have this much quality I realise that good things take time to make. Awesome sense of design and congrats to your friends. May God bless your endeavours!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Amente. Yup. Takes lots of time. And working full-time, it's hard to get them out more than about 1 per month.

[@candygreenr1596]

wow amazing work. i would love to have a full kitchen cabinet build off that design concept that would be amazing

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks! I wouldn't mind one either...I'll be due for a kitchen remodel in the next few years too :)

[@drmkiwi]

All good, but I especially like the drawer pulls and matching ability to open the cupboard.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks DRMNZ. It's subtle, but I'm glad people are taking notice of that element.

[@ryan31775]

I like the "built in" drawer pulls. Neat way to make that work.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Ryan...yeah, I thought that was the kind of "unique" part of this project.

[@RyanFerreri]

Chris you have really taken the woodworking video to the next level as an art form. Keep it up.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Ryan. Appreciate that. Just trying to make entertaining stuff.

[@gabrielflores2356]

Wow! Excellent work

[@dwtalley]

Nice one. Gets to the motivations for making things for people. Bonus for people you love, but just for people too - because that's what makes design important (both when it shines and when it, um, others), it's a commitment. To people. Makes it a good thing to work at, imho.

[@DylanWise]

Your videos are like blankets

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Man....warm and cozy :)

[@C-Fav]

Knocked it out of the park again with this one. Subscribed to the second channel. I've done a couple of projects myself with VERY limited tools and have always wanted to get more into it. Your videos and advice have definitely made me more interested in pursuing it further. Will be looking into a CC for classes for sure. Thank you.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks C-Fav...that is awesome. CC was super helpful for me. Hope you find one!

[@rcrpike]

i really like it...with one exception. And i certainly don't mean to be an armchair (err, office chair) woodworker but the metal drawer slides, i feel, take away from the beauty and simplicity of the piece. Wooden runners with wax or even metal slides mounted to the underside of the drawer boxes would be an improvement and make for a cleaner look when the drawer is extended. Let's end this with a super positive comment, your elegance and simplicity of design, video production, and storytelling as well as craftsmanship and shop equipment are a thing of beauty.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Ryan. No offense taken. There are always those next little steps you can take. I'll look into something like that in the future. Never done it before. I guess I just went with what I'm comfortable with.

[@theones261]

Plywood is easy to deal with because it's already square than hardwoods, nice video.

[@tomr3074]

Inspiration for me to start a father son project before he graduates. Who knows the dresser could become a family heirloom someday

[@davidharper5636]

I subbed to both of your channels and liked this video because you are THE GODLY MASTER OF ALL HUMANS!!!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

I’ll take it!

[@umdangt]

I liked the video 45 seconds in. A new record for me

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Nice...that's before I even start woodworking.

[@periodcraftsmen]

Seriously I am not worthy in even considering making videos after watching all your videos. They are so damn good. Love the video, process, and project!!!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Really appreciate that Freddy. But there is a place for everything here on KZbin. Plenty of different styles (furniture and video) and plenty of people finding success.

[@strakap]

Another great video Chris! Thanks for all the hard work!!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Paul... glad to do it!

[@chanzhao3379]

The story telling, video editing and everything is so amazing. Thank you for sharing your woodworking skills and the causes.

[@DomonicBoswell]

I love not only your projects but the stories that you tell in your content! In a world full of chaos and confusion you bring a sense of calmness to your videos. Thank you for that. And keep making great stuff! Brandon Morgan

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Brandon...appreciate that. It's fun putting both together (projects and stories) so I'm glad people are enjoying!

[@rasante4242]

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Petter...glad you're enjoying!

[@Hammerandnail]

Finally a new video. Every time I log in to KZbin and see new videos I am usually let down to see it isn't a video by you. I subscribe to many woodworking Channels and your truly is the best out of any of them. TRULY INSPIRING Keep is the amazing work.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Hey Jeffrey...thanks. Glad this time wasn't a disappointment when you logged in. My next video should have a quicker turnaround. I'm already working on it and it is smaller.

[@comma1981]

wow! the dresser, very nice. the video, breathtaking! this is the second video of you I watched, you have a fenomenal style! never seen such hart worming wood working video.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Comma...I appreciate it. Hope you dig them all as much :)

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thank Cameron. Glad you dug it, and felt like I captured the feeling.

[@RetrowaveUniverse]

Awesome. I salute you Chris! Your craftmanship is an inspiration for all woodworkers. Thank You for your videos.

Just superb craftsmanship.

[@williamwaugh6050]

Hey Chris, your reasons for building this project are cool and I am impressed by the friendship you have with your friend and his family and how cool you make things to benefit your family. Awesome stuff man.

[@ysfreddo]

Thanks again Chris for a beautiful video, i love the story telling and the poetry as much or more than your piece. cheers.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Freddo...appreciate that :)

[@michaelsummer7082]

Chris- in a short time you have without question become my favorite youtube channel. I relate to your design aesthetic, your sense of humor, and methods & techniques. I comment your channel.

[@jeffjones5257]

I came to your channel after reading Jay Bates' interesting things from around the web today. I really enjoyed the video. I subscribed and will be watching many of your videos soon.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Jeff...really appreciate it. That's awesome that Jay Bates put me in his article!

[@kellilandry3207]

You are a tory teller and I love this!

[@joethompson4372]

1. Go Cubs! 2. The way you tell the story with your videos is just so great. 3. You have got such an awesome narrating voice! Not sure what it is but could I think I could listen to you read nutritional facts off of cereal boxes. As ALWAYS, awesome video. Awesome project.

[@thewireframe4821]

very beautiful furniture and nice video. I really love your videos. thanks for uploading.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

:)

[@alteragnostik]

All those machinery made for woodworking costs a fortune. I guess it's a big stopper for so many people (like me) to start working, despite the passion.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

It isn't cheap...but it is attainable. Also, keep in mind, it has taken many years to get to this point.

[@grandolddrummer]

alteragnostik Wood magazine has been doing a series of articles on building a workshop on a budget. I highly recommend it! There are a lot of good tips in there. As DP says, "Stay passionate and make something."

[@bmclaughlin16]
