How to build a chest of drawers

[@CollinBirmingham]

The Bob Ross of woodworking drops another video. Woohoo!

[@reforzar]

You think that because of their similar hair style?

[@samiam7]

He's going to really appreciate that comment 😂

[@MikeFarrington]

Ha! Thats the only explanation. I will say, if I could grow Bob Ross' hair I would.

[@roberttomlin5161]

I think it would look better than Bob's...😊

[@MikeFarrington]

@@roberttomlin5161 I'd like to think so as well, but alas, the world will never be graced with that information.

[@howardsmith5474]

I’ve been watching your videos for five years, I still truly enjoy them. Enjoy your son while he’s little, they get all grown up in the blink of an eye.

[@MikeFarrington]

Thank you. Will do or at least try my best.

[@douglaskirkpatrick4876]

The Princess Bride reference on your t-shirt is beyond awesome. Love your work!

[@MikeFarrington]

Such a great movie. I like wearing that shirt out in the wild. It is always a conversation starter.

[@colbyhodges]

I remember when Shop Apprentice was just a baby. You're a great dad, Mike. Keep up the good work.

[@MikeFarrington]

Time flies when you have kids.

[@JohnHeisz]

I took a drink every time you said biscuit and now I'm feeling a bit woozy, but it did remind me that I need to order some more (biscuits, not booze). Fine looking project, Mike :)

[@MikeFarrington]

Ha! Thanks John.

[@mattrinne]

Better order some more booze too. Just in case!

[@jeffbaker8808]

The Farrington-Heisz Venn diagram obviously has "Biscuits" in the common space. (I have the t-shirt design already in my head.)

[@MikeFarrington]

@@jeffbaker8808 And booze too.

[@DmanRC]

What a beautiful piece of furniture. No doubt will last a lifetime.

[@MikeFarrington]

Thank you.

[@suzisaintjames]

Hmm? 🤫 I almost didn't watch this video because I thought: oh, no not another plain old dresser with three drawers video as your thumbnail and your title totally miss the most important aspects of this build... Writing desk with 4 deep drawers. Sending lots of love 💕 from sunny 🌞 Arizona 🌵. Take care of yourself and each other 😷 ... Nice plugs for your sanding disc. Not too much ... Just right.

[@MikeFarrington]

Thanks Suzi. Always appreciate the input.

[@Cynyr]

Wow! the shop apprentice sure is getting big!

[@MikeFarrington]

Turning into a young man right in front of my eyes.

[@mrpiccolo23]

Finally some body who appreciates biscuits as much as Norm does!!!

[@MikeFarrington]

Thats me for sure.

[@jakde942]

And he’s back! Finally!

[@MikeFarrington]

Thank you.

[@jeromestsauver]

My son's 19 now... In my eyes, I'm still cool in his eyes - great vid!

[@MikeFarrington]

I hope its the same for me.

[@nickhenscheid369]

The shop apprentice cameo was classic. Brings me back to my days hanging out in my dad's shop! Hope to pass it on to my kiddo when she's old enough, too.

[@MikeFarrington]

Thank you. Always great to have the little ones around.

[@idbuythatfora4223]

Very few dresser builds on youtube. Great to see a master do it.

[@MikeFarrington]

Thanks 👍

[@deborahf3738]

I don't think I was ever cool in my daughters eyes, but she is totally cool in mine. This really turned out nice. I like the color of the stain and the simple design. Thanks

[@MikeFarrington]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@alanray10818]

best woodworking channel on KZbin!

[@MikeFarrington]

Thank you very much.

[@iamepimethus]

Forever cool in his eyes. That doesn’t go away

[@MikeFarrington]

I hope you're right.

[@davidhaworth7152]

Doesn’t go away but does go dormant for a minute.

[@Gotmovezlikejagga]

Mike, beautiful end result. We hobby wood workers appreciate the "pro tips", thank you!

[@MikeFarrington]

You are very welcome

[@jumar360]

You made everything in your shop?! Yeah! Good job!

[@MikeFarrington]

Ha! Thank you.

[@oreoninja918]

Not gonna lie... my favorite part of the video was hearing you address your son as Sir. May seem minor to some but teaching or showing young ones that respecting people older or younger than themselves is a great place to start with people, even if he didn't catch this time. The furniture is beautiful also as usual.

[@MikeFarrington]

I totally agree. I'm not perfect about it, but I try to show him that there is a better way to address someone.

[@redC16]

Gotta like that video before it starts, Mike never lets you down.

[@MikeFarrington]

Thank you.

[@crashkg]

Working with your kids has got to be the best feeling in the world. The shop apprentice must be very proud of you. I'm building a couple of small desks with my girls and it is so rewarding. One day I hope to have your skills though, my projects are pretty rough. Thanks for your videos.

[@MikeFarrington]

Thank you very much. Good luck with your projects.

[@mattrinne]

I hope you tell them how it much you enjoy having them in the shop. 🫂

[@crashkg]

@@mattrinne always, they're older now though so it's rare, except if they need something ;-)

[@MikeFarrington]

@@mattrinne Thank you. I sure do.

Congrats on new no. 4 I picked up a closed mouth router plane from the Lie Nielsen show room while in Maine this week. Deneb was the salesman when I made the purchase.

[@MikeFarrington]

Very cool!

[@chrisnash2154]

Simple, yet elegant.

Thank you.

[@boryscholewinski4370]

A master at work. Calm and calculated, everything in place. Immaculate workshop for high efficiency. So so nice to watch. Thank you for sharing.

[@MikeFarrington]

Wow, thank you!

[@99andrianmonk]

Great job, Mike. The pieces you build are beautiful, and educational at the same time. The Shop Apprentice is getting big. It's wonderful he wants to spend time with you in the shop. From personal experience, the deposits you make today in the relationship bank pays huge dividends in the future. Looking forward to your next video.

[@MikeFarrington]

Thank you. I am trying my best to be a good dad. Its not easy, but I'll keep at it.

[@Zie_carpentry]

😮😮😮

[@jordanbell3473]

You are so under-subbed. One of the best technical woodworkers on youtube. Well done.

[@MikeFarrington]

Thank you. I wish I knew the formula to better KZbin success.

[@jacobfaso5517]

My wife is pregnant with our first child, and seeing you with your son just made me so emotional 😭 😂 you’re a great Dad Mike!

[@MikeFarrington]

Thank you. Prepare for more of that in life.

I can not express how happy I am for a new video! Love you work.

[@redC16]

Same, couldnt click it quick enough!

[@MikeFarrington]

Yay, thank you!

[@ronj8000]

I love everything about this video! The technique the tips and being with your son! My son is off to college in a few weeks and has spent manyyyyy times in the shop with me over the years....never stop being your sons best buddy!

[@MikeFarrington]

Thank you. That is advice I am going to use.

I enjoyed this very much, thank you Mike. Art from Ohio

[@MikeFarrington]

Great video as always, Mike. I always enjoy your narration. Great mix of instruction and humor. Always fun to see the apprentice, too. I have two grandchildren about his age that love to build things with me in the workshop.

[@MikeFarrington]

Thank you very much.

[@QuietTom]

What a gorgeous piece of craftsmanship.

[@MikeFarrington]

Thank you.

The Shop Apprentice's cameo warmed my heart so much Mike!!! The project came out so awesome. Clean simple lines & the color POPPED!! The weather shots are always enjoyable also. Hoping all is well Bud, Dirty Jersey out!!

Ha! Thank you. Gotta keep the viewers on their toes.

[@masontejera506]

Beautiful work as always Mike. Appreciate the appearance of the apprentice and that he’s as big a fan as us here on the tubes. Wanted to give another shout out for the sanding discs - I love mine so much I’m trying to rearrange my shop to fit a dedicated table saw just for the disc. Please keep spreading the good word on those! Thanks again for all the great content and inspiration over the years. Was telling a buddy last week - “Mike is my Norm Abrams.”

[@MikeFarrington]

Thank you very much. Those are two very very nice compliments!

[@RICHat22]

As much as I have loved Norm, it is a VERY apt comparison. I was blessed in my early days we only got 3 channels (public tele for the win). Never looked at it that way, but I guess that's part of my draw. Well done.

[@MikeFarrington]

@@RICHat22 Again, thank you very much. We had 13 channels when I was growing up, so for the same reasons I ended up watching Norm as well.

[@Mark_Wood]

Stunning piece, Mike

[@MikeFarrington]

Thanks Mark.

[@mandyleeson1]

That is just lovely and great to see the apprentice getting involved. I wonder if he’ll develop an appreciation for elegant furniture after hanging ‘round with his Dad… Thanks Mike, that was a joy to watch.

[@MikeFarrington]

Thank you.

[@BryanNichols]

Super radical, Mike! Crushed it.

[@MikeFarrington]

Thank you.

I’m about to be a dad (wife is due in a few days) and this got me really pumped about doing projects with him in the future. Also, great video as always. You and Sawyer Design are my two favorite woodworkers on KZbin.

[@MikeFarrington]

Congratulations. It’ll be tough to get projects done for a year or two. Once they can safely come in the shop it’s a real treat to teach them and watch them learn.

[@Aaron-nj4ou]

First thing to buy for the little one is ear protection. Each of my three kids have their own so they can hang out with me in the shop and I don’t have to worry about their hearing.

[@RICHat22]

Geez. I started watching you when you only had a couple thousand subs . I patreoned for a bit later on. I have watched every video you've made. I am working on my Bob Ross hair but at 48, it ain't easy. May have to do the Farrington. As for the apprentice, I can give you a rough timeline from my experience. My kids 26 and 28. Around early teen not as fun/cool. Late teen, coming back around. Mid-20's, wishing they listened and watched more. That's when the respect kicks in for how smart you really were and how experienced you are now. Keep it up, Mike. --Brian

[@MikeFarrington]

Thank you for watching and thank you for sharing. I’m sure there will be some rough years, but I’m looking forward to all of it.

[@Eric-469]

Love the random cameos by the shop apprentice. Cool to see the jumps in how big he’s getting. Probably how my dad felt every few years when he stopped by (joke) 🤙 cheers

[@MikeFarrington]

Thank you.

[@brianewhiteguy]

Outstanding video as always! Enjoy the time where your boy looks up to you. Those moments are wonderful, yet limited. Bonus points for using the word 'detritus'. That really tied the video together :)
