I purchased this 1960's Mid-Century Ward 6 Drawer Low Boy Dresser for $20 from Facebook Marketplace. This piece has mostly Walnut veneer with Elm trim. The top of the dresser is Laminate. I will be adding a Walnut veneer to the top of this dresser, and finishing the piece with General Finishes Nutmeg Gel Stain. This project will be donated for a local charity auction to benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of Dane County. Thank you for supporting the channel.

As a therapist I usually recommend my folks change their mindset from striving for perfection, because perfection is not attainable. I encourage them to strive for excellence which is possible. So although the old timer at the wood store had a good idea, I would recommend tweaking it just a bit. It seems to reduce the stress and self criticism people experience. I love your videos and find your thoughts on community and life in general very uplifting and relaxing. I will probably never refinish any piece of furniture myself, but I’ll keep watching you do it! Take care and be well.

Laurie, in my culture, we say that one cannot create perfection. Only the Creator can. Whether that be God, Mother Nature or something else is up to you. Master weavers and other artists purposely put in a “flaw” to assure their work isn’t “perfect.” I find that really comforting. I’m a Coast Salish Native in the Pacific NW. And yes, I always try to be perfect. Lol

I'm always frustrated as I'm never satisfied with what I produce (knitting, embroidery, sewing, painting, carving, creating things with whatever I find in nature, working with epoxy, etc...). I cannot forgive me any mistake. And as people appreciate what I make, well, I think they are telling lies. I should follow your advice, as a therapist, but I'm not able 😮 I'm not a rational person, emotions and sensations has been guiding me in my life. Anyway handicraft cannot and mustn't be perfect, that's the value a handmade object adquires.

What a wonderful restoration. Though Ward is easy to find, there is a reason they have been in production for almost 75 years, quality of construction. Someone was lucky to nab this at an auction for charity . I liked the nutmeg stain on the walnut veneer , it elevated the warmth of this piece.

You do not have to explain to anybody the kind of money you make on those pieces. You create wonderful pieces of real furniture, no plastic throw away junk, and you get paid for what your work is worth to people. If you make a million a month or 100, it is nobodys business. Try to buy quality furniture today and see what you pay for it. You make out of old quality furniture that some people didn't appreciate and made master pieces out of them, pieces you should be proud of. I am very proud of them and wish I had one special piece 😊. I enjoy watching and so do lots of people. Thanks for the video!

I came to say this, the bit should always be spinning away from the material. So as Mike said, when the Router is between you and the work, move from left to right (never go back in the direction you have just made a pass on) when you get to a corner continue "around" it. When the material is in the middle, as in you, the material then the router Move right to left - Mike will correct me If I'm wrong, I just learnt this about a year ago so I'm a novice too

The sanding is one of my favorite parts, I could watch close up of the orbital sander all day, very relaxing and seeing the changing wood makes me happy.

That dresser is so beautiful! I very much appreciate your showing how to work the router. I have been on a mission to get power tools for my workshop (garage sales, estate sales, pawn shops, etc...), learning how to use them is the next step 😁. Thank you for this video!

Good observation that 75% of the work is prep work. I find that holds true in much of life. At least in my life, any project - whether professional or personal - is heavy on the prep end. Prep work often isn't fun or exciting, but it's what makes bigger payoffs possible. Great comment with universal application.

Such a beautiful chest of drawers, that warm orange tone would fit perfectly in my Homeoffice ! Bad, that I live in Europe and not next to you! That change of the vernier was so nice, and you made it looking so easy, all others use heat and ironing and do not ask what else….I think that glue and that roller is enough! That routerbit seems a little bit dull or you move it in the wrong direction , never see so much overstand after the use of it.. but the result is that what count, and the result once again is a masterpiece of furniture that get touched from a master of craftsmanship! I like really what you do!

@@MadCityModern hello Berry, I learned, Against the direction of the rotation is the correct way to use the router , in this direction the bit cut off the overstand of the wood! Maybe the router that you own is different from the one I know…

A piece of advice on the router...you want to account for the direct the blade is spinning. When trimming an outside edge go counter clockwise. Go clockwise if trimming inside an opening. You will get a much cleaner cut.
