Make a Modern Dresser - How To Veneer with Contact Cement

[@Mr.Follower245]

Best filmed/edited woodworking videos on KZbin, it’s not even close, great work John!!🙌

[@tommyammo6135]

I agree. Great job once again Jon.

[@jimmyv24]

Hands down!

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks Willaim!

[@orangeduc3129]

I like the tone and simplicity of the process . Please thanks. Please let’s all share this for others to see. I will definitely surprise my wife with this project. Am going to give it a try, although I don’t have a table saw I only have mitre saw and circular saw.

[@bsdbryn]

*Really* appreciated your sharing of the box being out of square, and then how you fixed it. Good to know I’m not the only one that happens too!

[@dennisdubin2126]

Yes! All too often we see the craftsman checking for square and saying, "...and that looks pretty good." We rarely, if ever, see what happens if the box is out of square!

[@tagquasar8791]

I only recently "discovered" Jon's video's and they are a real goldmine👍! Although some techniques are way beyond my possibilities i think i can use alot of things in future projects after i just build my first workbench🤭

[@RobinLewisMakes]

Really like the dark plugs. Overall a beautiful piece

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks Robin!

[@CasualBuilds]

1:37 nothing is more satisfying than watching you mark your screw lines

[@alyssaandbrynnthemacgirls7218]

Or that perfectly thin line of glue that goes exactly where he wants it!

[@pns-notarynation7098]

Love your work I have been watching you for years😎😎😎😎

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thank you!

[@Rebel1280]

I really enjoyed the out of box thinking and design for this build. From using corner braces to the finish design being an interesting mix of country and Asian design.

[@nicholasbennett459]

Absolutely Amazing Work turned out beautiful Can wait to see more Videos

[@TheTranq]

Nice looking piece. Lots of useful tips throughout. Thanks

[@kuffyswoodwork]

Nice work. I never would have thought about installing the drawer pulls vertically. Looks great 👍

[@dannyoktim9628]

Vertical draw pulls . . .that impressed me too

[@t.michaelward2747]

Excellent video production standards! Very good project. I liked your drawing of straight lines using your fingers as a spacing guide. Your cadence, voice and clarity remind me of David Marks. Good job!

[@JonPetersArtHome]

That’s quite the compliment! Thank you! I’m a big fan of David Marks.

[@brians5539]

Turned out beautiful! The video clarity on this one also seemed better than usual. The new lights maybe? Maybe just me, nonetheless another gorgeous furniture piece, well done.

[@كابتشينوالتحليلالفني]

😀انا سعيد بقضاء وقتي مع مهندس محترف لقداستفت كثير منك شكرا لكم🙃🙃🙃🙃😉

[@houstonastrorider713]

perfect.... I've learned so much from every video... thank you... hopefully one day I'll be at that level...

Fantastic job Jon, Stay Safe !!!.

[@moneymakingmikeg.9555]

Holy Smokes!! Am I first on a Jon Peters 30+ min. video of a dope a$$ project?? Very cool Bud!! Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!

[@JonPetersArtHome]

ha ha ha! you're the Best Mike!

[@moneymakingmikeg.9555]

The legs & drawer pulls are Stupid Dope Fresh on this one. Awesome how you can make a box out of butt joints & then hide it all with veneer & mitered Oak front frame. Very well done Bud. Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out again!!

[@kinmujuru5703]

Well done .looks absolutely beautiful.l like your projects

[@larrymoore5778]

Jon...always enjoy watching your videos. You do such nice work and I appreciate you explaining how - and why - you are doing something. I always learn something watching your videos. Thank you!

[@jimmyv24]

Your craftsmanship, precision, creativity are not only an inspiration for woodworking but for all things in life. Thank you for sharing your gift and skills with us!

[@darwinos2132]

Thanks for filming your skill.its help me a lot

[@espnmk]

Jon, I just can’t get enough of watching your videos on making Beautiful cabinets and drawers. I mean you really make it an art form and I really enjoy watching and rewatching your work... Great Job as always.

[@dannyoktim9628]

It's all about the details . . ..you nailed this one . . .vid and dresser

[@sapelesteve]

As always, beautiful & superb work Jon! That dresser turned out great. 👍👍👏👏😉😉

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks Steve!

[@davecurda2350]

You should be proud Jon very nice piece of furniture.

[@scottreddenstudio]

Wow, amazing! What a process! Great video!

[@tekviper9]

Fantastic work Jon! Thank you for sharing!

Build the Furniture for your Home with my step-by-step Woodworking PLANS. jonpeters.com/woodworking-projects/ Hi All, since this is such an involved project I thought I would post a second video and call it after the build. If you have any questions on this project leave them in the comments below and I will try to answer them in the next video. If you’re planning to build the Dresser click on this link jonpeters.com/shop/modern-chest-of-drawers-design-plans/ to check out the project plans. Have a great weekend, Jon

[@cheryldawkins7486]

I like the clean lines and the curve on the base is really nice. I was surprised you didn't use walnut for the drawer pulls since the base is walnut. Beautiful dresser.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks, I thought about it but thought it would be to much contrast.

[@theor.9219]

Thanks for putting so much time and effort in making these videos John, I really like them and find them informative and very enjoyable to watch.

[@DavesShed]

Thank you so much for the video. Just what I was looking for.

[@pinturaemfoco]

Goodnight my friend! Very good dresser wood.

[@ewout2211]

Great video, showing build from start to finish.

[@benjaminfarthing3849]

Thanks for showing us how you fixed the carcass back into square. Every youtuber says "now we check for square" but they never say what to do if it's not square.

[@albertkelly7129]

stunning Jon. your work is a real pleasure to watch

[@spencerbass7142]

Your step by step videos are great. Beautiful piece.

[@corywauthier4808]

Wow. Truly amazing!

[@kenc2257]

Wow. Really turned out beautifully.

[@xtroyboy7338]

WOW Jon, Great CRAFTSMANSHIP👍

[@km343]

I really enjoy this longer build videos. The project came out great.

[@btparker08]

Very beautiful

[@michaelegarnerwolfgange5656]

Nice work I love your design

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thank you!

[@MartinMosman]

Love your videos Jon. 💥

[@jeffj2495]

Looks great Jon. And nice details on all the build steps too. I like the way the veneer turned out.

[@chrispagobo]

precisely done as always, another work of a master craftsman👍

[@stevecollins9450]

And yet another fantastic build video, thanks Jon!

[@orangeduc3129]

This is awesome project

[@billymacmakes]

You make working with veneer look so easy! it's really tempting me to give it another try. The last effort saw dry, brittle veneer splitting when I tried to unroll it. So after wasting all that time and money I swore off it.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks Billy, give it another go ... it really is easy to work with and opens up a lot of design possibilities.

[@ataleciosena4131]

The best Jon!

[@TheRedbeardster]

Nice work Jon! Thanks for sharing!

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

Great work on the Modern Dresser Jon! It turned out very nice :) Thank you for sharing the video with us!💖👌👍😎JP

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks JP!

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

Your very welcome Jon! Have a great weekend!😎

[@HappyPappynKatyTX]

Beautiful work. Love it

[@MVandemore]

Beautiful dresser. How are you ordering the veneer- 10 mil, 20 mil, 2 ply? Also, I've read/seen other videos where they suggest using veneer on both sides of the wood to prevent warping, I'm guessing that hasn't been your experience?

[@ajmurad7575]

Thanks for the very useful video. I'm just wondering about the nailers, why did you use different one when attached the blocks for the drawers and the oak molding?

[@MicheluceRizzuto]

very nice build! I've been thinking of building a set of this type of MCM chests. I like the veneer you chose. What type of veneer is it ? I must have missed what you said if you did tell us. Thanks for the video.

[@tomwills918]

A really great video. Thanks Jon!

[@jaredmartin6164]

Beautiful project as always. Great job Jon!

[@chrisp7957]

Very nice. Would the process be different if you made this with boards instead of plywood?

[@jriis2010]

Really nice video. One question though. Why is the cross cut sledge so high ?

[@toomars1301]

Nice piece! Thanks for posting!

[@davidnoakes4836]

Thanks for another great video 😊

[@famousseamus17]

John, thanks for posting this. Love the details and work. What make of screw do you use?

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thank you! Mostly power pro star drive

[@marwanabutarieh1868]

Perfect job as usual 👏

[@pamelalittlefield4608]

Love your work Jon :)!!

[@DannyElsayah]

Beautiful. Thanks for the great video. I especially likes how you used the brackets to keep the box squared. Also, my understanding is that there is no serious need to sand between lacquer coats, since the new coat blends into the old one. I’m curious as to what’s the reason you do it? Thanks again I always enjoy your builds.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks Danny, I think sanding between coats just makes a smoother finish.

[@JChamberlin]

Fabulous work, Jon.

[@juliomarinrubio983]

Hermoso trabajo Jon, 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@juliawoodhead7422]

Stunning.

[@matthewroforth8856]

Beautiful

[@seanhenry744]

Amazing.

[@jamartin1]

Beautiful!❤️

[@orangeduc3129]

Please do you have any video on 3 Door wardrobe with mirror and center 3 drawers .

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thank you! No but that sounds like a good project to put on the list.

[@zagoista1]

Question: What is the benefit of butt joints over pocket-hole joints for the carcas in this project? Thanks, Jon, as always for your insight and fabulous vids

[@JonPetersArtHome]

For this project it was just easier

[@sebastienh1100]

Beautiful. Personally I prefer real wood, even if finish is less clean and if drawers do not work well, but your work is beautiful.

[@kurtzimmerman1637]

nice job Jon!

[@dennisdubin2126]

As always, a very nice, no-nonsense tutorial. Just a thought: you might remind your novice viewers WHY you use sticks to position your veneer when using contact cement.

[@pablohendrix]

Excellent work Jon, and thanks for share the out of square issue that we have to deal so often. What would you recommend in orden to avoid it? Attach it first with some brad nails could be an option?

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks Pablo, I think one of the pieces of plywood had a bend in it.

[@michaelegarnerwolfgange5656]

Wow 👍😊

[@MrTapanes]

Very nice project. Great video with detailed explanations. Where do you get your Birch ply from? I'm in NE Jersey and all I can get is really expensive 5x5 sheets.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks, Fessendenhall ... you can find them on Instagram.

[@MrTapanes]

@@JonPetersArtHome Cool, thanks! I actually think that's closer to me than it is to you. LOL

[@drewdawson44]

Hey Jon - love your channel. For the walnut base, when you were plowing out the half-laps...did you use a flat bottom grind blade? If so, do you have one you recommend? Those cuts looked super clean

[@ykmjc]

Jon, what type of white oak did you use here? Checking their website there's like 6 different options for 1/4 sawn white oak. thanks in advance.

[@caseythemaker]

Do you use a rasor knife for cutting with the grain veneer as well? Just curious. I have a veneer project I am working on and thinking about buying a veneer saw. The veneer I have is 3/32 2ply sapele.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

That’s pretty sick I’m not sure a razor knife will work on 3/32...Yes I always use a straight edge and a razor knife

[@caseythemaker]

@@JonPetersArtHome fair enough. Thanks for the video

[@silviagarciamendoza-demon]

Excellent work, I really liked congratulations, a question which brand of pants do you wear is very comfortable, greetings from Barcelona Spain.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Hi Silvia, the pants are from Mountain Khakis

[@silviagarciamendoza-demon]

@@JonPetersArtHome thanks for the information, take care

[@markjohnson9495]

I've noticed you never dado your plywood parts, but simply screw them together with butt joints. I have done it both ways, and usually use dado joints, but wondering. I know you do a lot of veneer anyway, but curious if there is a reason not to dado besides simply saving time. Thanks!

[@monkeyvideo1029]

Jon, I was just thinking about trying a white oak veneer project. Thanks for the GL link. But as another poster asks, you don't mention which white oak version you used. Your GL link only takes you to the site not to the product you used and the swatches shown are hard to match to your sheet. Any help would be appreciated.

[@evafinnegan1724]

What glue bottle do you use???

[@LeftFlamingo]

Really nice project and turned out beautiful. But I must say, I always find it a little funny with the slight cultural and especially design differences on opposite sides of the Atlantic. Because this dresser has many elements very much in common with furniture that you would find in 60's and 70's homes here. But the base does set it aside, and gives it a clearly modern touch.

[@nils1953]

Not a fan of the drawer pulls, but the rest of the cabinet just looks fantastic

[@thewoodshop69]

What kind of hvlp is that? Thanks

[@zulhilminajmi8560]

Upon unboxing, I was immediately upset at how the rails were very noticeably bent. But I kept going, all tools needed to assemble were included kzbin.infoUgkxqtX4Dxs6aecAZEuz6GY5-d81YecKCshn and I had it set up in about 30 minutes. Honestly I love this thing, make sure to read the measurements and measure your space so you know if it'll work for you. I bought this to put inside my closet, underneath where I hang my clothes and it is absolutely perfect! It is VERY sturdy and all drawers glide easily and mine are stuffed, and they are still flush when closed.

[@vivinpan]

I'm the original woodworking moron who wants to learn to build a box. Now, finally, I feel I'm on my way. Today a box, tomorrow the world!

[@briannelson605]

I'm curious why you don't just buy plywood with the veneer already on it? Is there something im missing?

[@philshock3805]

I've never veneered plywood but I would think the main reason is that there's a LOT more variety of veneer available than veneered plywood. It also gives you more options for grain direction/continuing grain, plus it's easier to hide joints. Make a box and then lay out the veneer as you see fit.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

One reason is, I don’t want to have to make that perfect miter joint at the sides and another is like to cover the edge banding.

[@RowlandMax]

How’s this lumber price hike affecting you? $8 for a 2x4 around here

[@ykmjc]

trying to order plans, says I'm temporarily locked out?? Why?

[@SharpestBulbs]

Why contact cement over wood glue? I always get bubbles with contact cement is why I ask.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

I have always use it and have never had a problem

[@jeffb9031]

Everything I’ve read tells me you need to apply veneer to the front AND back of a panel, but Jon never seems to do that. Is my info wrong?

[@JonPetersArtHome]

I think that’s true if you’re working with MDF or particleboard … Since I’m working with Plywood, I don’t think it should be a problem and I’ve never had one.
