Dovetailed Chest Of Drawers

[@dainermade]

Classic Kuffy, I will watch the extended version when I get a few moments

[@kuffyswoodwork]

Cool, thanks. The extended version is much of the same but with more explanation and some more or different footage.

[@Nedswoodworks]

Maaaatttteeeee, that will be a family heirloom and be passed down through the years….bloody nice job.

[@kuffyswoodwork]

It's a nice thought, but I think my stuff will be burnt when I'm gone. Won't bother me none 👻

[@bernardzhang1886]

Beautiful work!!! 2-3 years in the making!!!!!!! Good things take time!!

[@kuffyswoodwork]

No need to rush on things which no longer have a genuine use. 😂

[@karlpopewoodcraft]

Blooming amazing craftsmanship you make it look easy mate. 2.5 years later had me in stitches 😂 I thought you where kidding then 😂😅

[@kuffyswoodwork]

Lol. It really did take a long time to finish this one. Other things kept getting in the way. :D

[@RobinLewisMakes]

That drawer fit is impressive!

[@kuffyswoodwork]

I was half expecting the drawers to be loose, which causes them to bind. But I got lucky four times 🤣 I always say, it's better to be lucky than to be good.

[@FixitFingers]

I am glad for the longer version. This was cool, but the Full Kuffy gives so much more ;)

[@kuffyswoodwork]

Well, if you love long format, my next video is so long that it'll be 10 videos! 🤣

[@FixitFingers]

@@kuffyswoodwork :D Another workbench?

[@kuffyswoodwork]

@@FixitFingers Whaddya mean 'another'? You can never have too many epic workbenches worth more than my car and household contents 🤣

[@GumtreeHillWoodwork]

Seamless work mate. The drawer fits are phenomenal 👏

[@kuffyswoodwork]

I was so nervous building this on camera. It's not hard to make a sloppy drawer fit, so I was being overly cautious with material removal. So happy that every drawer works as intended. Thanks man.

[@GumtreeHillWoodwork]

@kuffyswoodwork it was an absolute clinic in how a drawer should perform & the next set I fit I will be pulling from what I've seen here thanks mate

[@Belly-u2w]

Nice looking unit. Like a good wine, it comes together better when aged a couple of years.

[@kuffyswoodwork]

Haha, thanks. I have quite a few projects currently getting better while they age 🤣

[@SujMenon]

Wonderful. 2.5 years in between a project is something. But, I have one started in 2018, which still isn't done, lol. Btw, those dovetails came out really well.

[@kuffyswoodwork]

I have a half finished desk here. It was one of my first projects I started here on KZbin. It must be nearly 6 years old now 😂

[@Woodcraftedworkshop]

Nice work Kuffy! Good solid construction.

[@kuffyswoodwork]

Thanks mate. I was quietly impressed with how solid the joinery ended up being.

[@robertmadden7536]

Great work as always. Good to see you don’t rush into anything

[@kuffyswoodwork]

There is no need to rush, I have the rest of my life to get it done. If I don't get it done, I won't be around to complain 😄

[@wallytrinc9885]

Splendid work !..... you're so good at what you do !!

[@kuffyswoodwork]

Thanks Wally. 😊

[@jennybarnes4806]

Very nice Kuffy. Must admit my heart was in my mouth at about 8:50 when you had your pinky really close to the blade. Noticed you adjusted at the last minute. Obviously know what you’re doing. Cheers Jenny

[@kuffyswoodwork]

Thanks Jenny. I promise if...or when, I chop my fingers off, I'll definitely give a trigger warning beforehand. If there was no trigger warning, you can feel safe in knowing that I got lucky again 🤣

[@gregkieser1157]

Good job as usual Kuffy! I recon leaving that carcas to sit for 2 and a half years is about right…..for a fella in a rush!

[@kuffyswoodwork]

Haha. If I would just focus and get things done, I'd never have to rush 🤣

[@TakamiWoodshop]

thumb up, grouse!

[@kuffyswoodwork]

Thanks 👍

[@riversidewoodworks]

Kuffy, those dovetails look awesome! Great project!

[@kuffyswoodwork]

Thanks mate. This was a long overdue project. Gone are the days of having a dirty pile AND a clean pile of clothes on the floor 🤣

[@barberspaddockwoodworking]

This is achingly beautiful. Beyond words. 👏

[@kuffyswoodwork]

I have the words to describe it. F%$#n heavy! 🤣 Thanks man.

[@tonyfrankcom4527]

Love the dovetails.great video as usual. Will watch the extended version. Best wishes and a merry Christmas.

[@kuffyswoodwork]

Thanks Tony. Merry Christmas mate 🎄

[@alessandrosuppini943]

Glad to see you back doing videos, nice project!

[@kuffyswoodwork]

Cheers Alessandro. Here's hoping for a big 2024 filled with funtastic woodworking projects.

[@RobRobertson1000]

As always, a really sweet job Kuffy. Greetings from Bendigo.

[@kuffyswoodwork]

Cheers Bob. How's life up in Bendigo?

[@RobRobertson1000]

@@kuffyswoodwork quiet. Not a lot fo woodwork right now as I'm caring for an invalid wife and an elderly friend. Loving the times in the shed however :)

[@wildwood3031]

Another great job. Always enjoy your videos.

[@kuffyswoodwork]

Thanks mate, I really like when I have a new video to release. If editing wasn't so laborious, I'd have a lot more videos to release.

[@woodenthumbyt]

Amazing as always and the patients of a saint to get through all those dovetails

[@kuffyswoodwork]

I'd love to say that I sat there and did all of those dovetails in one sitting, but it was several days with a lot of TikTok breaks 🤣

[@woodenthumbyt]

@@kuffyswoodwork we’ve all been there.

[@djeity]

Nice! I've always though I would have to use rail-and-stile for the side panels of a dresser, but I love your solution which allows solid side panels. Thanks for the inspiration! And by the way, lovely work as always.

[@kuffyswoodwork]

Using a solid top and solid sides is a very traditional way of creating cabinet cases. The top and sides, and bottom panel if that was also solid, will expand and contract as one. The joinery used doesn't need to allow for differential movement, so you can pretty much choose any joint you want (dovetails are actually the best joint in this case though). Frame and panel has it's advantages, one being the overall unit weighs MUCH less! 🤣

[@LeeroyReading]

Beautifully done mate

[@kuffyswoodwork]

Cheers mate. It's not as big as your round dining table, but it might be as heavy 😂

[@LeeroyReading]

@@kuffyswoodwork I’m sure it bloody is 🤣

[@riverbuilder2251]

Good to see joinery that needs to be fitted together with a dead blow hammer! 🤣 😅 best regards from riverbuilder.

[@kuffyswoodwork]

Haha, I began thinking my deadblow wasn't heavy enough. I did have a 2lb sledgy ready if push came to shove 🤣

[@TakamiWoodshop]

shit thought it was just me getting older grayer and grumpier ... phew!

[@kuffyswoodwork]

I have a natural cure to graying, but it means I get a lot of sunburn on top of my head now!

[@TakamiWoodshop]

buzzcut? @@kuffyswoodwork

[@kuffyswoodwork]

Nah, I'm going bald, and these summer days keep reminding me of it 🤣
