Making A Pine Chest Of Drawers - 211

[@Leekle2ManE]

How many watch Jay's videos as much for the editing as the woodworking? Entertainment and Educational.

[@JayBates]

I finally got the chest of drawers project complete and couldn't be happier with the results. For a lot more information and details check out the build article: jayscustomcreations.com/2015/08/knot-free-pine-chest-of-drawers/

[@darinmbicknell]

Jay Bates Woot FIRST reply! Keep em coming! What brand of crayons do you recommend for woodworking. Wink wink! The commercial was well done... did you have complete creative on that?

[@JayBates]

Darin Bicknell Big red crayons are the best :) Thank you for the feedback. Yes I had complete creative on that.

[@TimothyHall13]

Jay Bates Great build. If I were to try to make videos I sure would shoot myself in the foot a lot! Was it hard to work out the details of the width of drawers or does that fall out from the Sketchup prep work?

[@JayBates]

Timothy Hall Everything is done in SketchUp first. Super easy that way. Also, when using 1/2" plywood and metal drawer slides the drawer is 1" less than the width of the opening and the front and back panels are 1" less than the width of the drawer.

[@shaggyone3924]

Jay Bates I would have much rather saw a deal like this: Save $175 on a Festool Domino: www.festool.usa.com/jay Mattress...who needs a freakin' mattress.

[@JohnHeisz]

That one will be around for a few years to come - solid! Awesome build and video :)

[@DavidColley_SouthernGrain]

Awesome Jay.

[@JayBates]

John Heisz Thanks dude. Much appreciated.

[@KurtSchwind]

Am I the only one envious of the wood working AND video editing?

[@lucasgrowsbestyt]

Nope :)

[@Magnussen92]

I must say your editing skills are improving each video! It's fun to watch even if you don't like woodworking. As for the product itself it turned out really well! I especially like the theme/finish of it and the matching furniture.

[@EnigMa-zn8nl]

I really like how you show a graphic of what the part is for, during the explanations, it's really great for those of us new to woodworking. We tend to get lost trying to imagine what the piece is for, till the final assembly, thank you for that!

[@CraigH999]

Great project, Jay. Have to love that southern pine - up here in northern British Columbia the growth rings on most of our pine can be so tightly packed you need a magnifying glass to count them! In 40 years you get a tree down there that takes 150 years to grow up here! BTW I think that if your house ever gets hit by a freak storm, your bedroom furniture is meaty enough to protect your whole family! Cheers!

[@AndreaArzensek]

This beautiful craftsmanship shows how pine wood can look great when you put some thought in grain appearance (direction). Congratulations on this piece of fine furniture 😊

[@adamonline45]

One of your finer projects! I was glad to see pine being used. I could almost smell it through my monitor!

[@twowheelrodeo]

"Get to the Chopper", and the disappearing digital overlay print instructions, are some cool editing effects.

[@MakeSomething]

Man, you found some beautiful boards in that pile. This chest looks rock solid gorgeous.

[@JayBates]

Drunkenwood How-to Videos Thanks David!

[@aaronemery5730]

Great Job Jay, love the way it turned out. My wife saw me watching the video and she now wants one for each kid. So I now have 3 sets of drawers to get started on. Great Build.

[@twoweary]

You always explain things so nicely. Your editing is great ,no repetition or unnecessary information. AND you are ninja fast with a hammer ! Thanks for the inspiration and motivation.

[@JayBates]

+twoweary Very kind words. Thank you for watching.

[@platinumchopper]

+Jay Bates I second that!!!!

[@bobbobson4607]

If there was an award for youtube video editing you would definitely be nominated if not win!

[@cleokey]

Who would have thought dimensional lumber could look so good. Video also outstanding.

[@Mtbeaver9]

I truly enjoy your videos and so many skills. Its nice to see a young man have the passion for working with his hands and sharing his talents. We learn so much. God bless you.

[@thomasellison63]

Great job Jay. It's like they say, "the masters make it look so easy". Truly a master.

[@woodwhisperer]

A perfectly good mattress and no wig, no nightgown, and no lipstick. I want my money back! Seriously though, nice job on the chest of drawers man. That Domino is such a massive time-saver isn't it? Mario Bros. sound effects FTW!

[@JayBates]

The Wood Whisperer hahahaha, no way I've got the cojones to pull off your platform bed intro! The domino has definitely been a game changer so far. And thanks, dude. Much appreciated.

[@Natedoc808]

Excellent editing and show of how to use dimensional lumber, and how you go about making it more appropriately sized for finish work using tools that most of us have or at least can get without much expense.... minus the fescool

[@matthiaswandel]

wow, not a single pocket hole! :)

[@xBeauGaming]

Matthias Wandel He's pretty fescool now

[@JayBates]

Matthias Wandel Of my most recent 28 videos only 5 have pocket holes in them. 3 of the 5 were my miter saw station.

[@SekRanger]

Jay Bates You truly are a monster.

[@jeffstanley4593]

Matthias Wandel $1300 for the Festool Domino and about 50 cents apiece for the Dominos. If you have the money I guess that is the way to go. Unless, he made the Dominos himself which seems to me the way to go. Even then, I doubt that he made the waffled impression that Festool stamps into their Dominos to allow the glue more surface area. I love your videos as well as Jays. I hope that he didn't say anything that he didn't believe in in his endorsement. Though he didn't say anything except what it was made of and how to order one. You could do that.

[@RennyMartinez]

Hermoso trabajo.

[@RexusKing]

The transition of building style is both amazing and awesome!

[@JayBates]

Rexus King Thank you Rexus

[@Mr.Stacey-L-SCC]

I know this is an old video, but I had to say this..... beautiful! I love simple but elegant furniture like this.

[@JayBates]

Thank you!

[@jukeman57]

Great build Jay. You do all of this great design work with Sketch Up, cut all of the components, put it all together and edit the video. And yet you still find time to beat me in chess. Amazing.

[@travdad76]

I think you’re the only one who consistently uses the slide miter properly. I know it’s weird but seriously satisfying to watch.

[@leftistelf]

Classic style is back! Awesome project, and great use of floating tenons to build it quick.

[@mhaz49]

Would not have thought to us lumber w/pith to get good quartersawn pieces. Great idea. It increases waste a bit, but gives a lot of straight grain wood to work with. Thanks for the tip. Chest of drawers looks really good.

[@CameronLienhart]

I've watched 99% of your stuff, and I'd say this is one of your best builds to date.

[@JayBates]

***** Thank you.

[@barryirby8609]

Love the results and the video. Having built many pieces out of yellow pine framing lumber I suggest it is good to sort through the pile and buy the best and then let if dry a while. Its sold dry enough for framing a house but not for furniture. And you are correct, buy huge pieces and cut them down. Comes out of larger better trees and you get more usable wood. Throw the part near the pith away. I am building chest now and just got a Domino. thanks for the video.

[@MrJsteed2009]

Awesome job, Jay, and I'd like to say that your video editing techniques really set you apart from all the channels I've visited. Thanks for your hard work and keep up the good job!

[@Doorkicker505]

I've never seen a drawer made with loose tenon joints. I like it !!

[@NickFerry]

Well done - that bedroom came together nicely -

[@JayBates]

Nick Ferry thanks dude. Still have more to make for it :)

[@NickFerry]

Jay Bates perhaps a nightlight for when I stay over - the dark scares me

[@JayBates]

Nick Ferry No worries. That corner of the house isn't haunted.

[@NickFerry]

Jay Bates only good ghosts? you promise?

[@agileanalyst214]

Really dig the way you got the very best out if that lumber. Beautiful

[@efrancis19]

Jay, I don't know if you still read comments on old videos, but wanted to tell you I've built four of these now, after buying your plans. I modified it a little, with raised panel sides, and dovetailed drawers with false fronts. Every time I deliver one, I'm asked to build another. People love it.

[@JayBates]

Glad to hear that, Eric. 😊

[@holdemNE1]

Phenomenal video. I have to believe the taping and editing can be time consuming and tedious but it is very much appreciated and such a pleasure to view. Keep up the great work!!

[@jmhall918]

Dude. The Mario and Predator sound effects are killer... I would watch these videos even if I wasn't into woodworking. Great job.

[@LutherBuilds]

Very nice, Jay! Looks beautiful. Also..."GET TO THE CHOPPER!"

[@fixitwithzim]

Jay, you're one hell of a craftsman...awesome job!

[@JayBates]

zimsjeep Thank you :)

[@myxology]

Most indestructible chest of drawers ever. :) Good stuff, Jay!

[@Wordsnwood]

Nice project. Really smart to cut out the pith -- I hope all the viewers pick up on that. Those wide boards do have some pretty nice straight quarter-sawn grain on the edges. You made great choices on assembling the panels to take advantage of that! Oh, and that title at 6:17 -- that is one of the slickest bits of editing that I've seen. Stupid iMovie doesn't give me that kind of option. Grumble. Oh yeah, and the tick-tick-tick starting at 3:30. That was subtle. I didn't even realize what I was hearing until the alarm went off. Great editing, Jay! And I can see that the door closed at 9:30... when life suddenly got a lot cooler in your shop! :-) :-) Keep up the great work.

[@JayBates]

wordsnwood Thanks man. I appreciate it all. Yes, the world changed drastically at 9:30 :)

[@bwbark]

Jay, Great entertaining project resulting in an outstanding product made from humble materials! Your channel content and your video editing skills are with out question some of the best that KZbin has to offer. Keep up the great work!

[@JayBates]

Bruce B Thank you Bruce!

[@MyNextProject]

It is really not fair how easy you make putting the drawers in. I can never get them to go together easily. Great project. It turned out awesome and I like that you use big box store lumber. All I have in my town is a Home Depot so my lumber choices are very limited. Thanks for the video and project. Keep up the great work.

[@JayBates]

***** Thanks! All I have in my town is a Lowes so I know the feeling :)

[@abbykirby1710]

Beautiful craftsmanship & mad editing skills!

[@johnhamilton57]

Beautiful dresser....I think my favorite project of yours to date...and that's saying a lot!

[@JayBates]

John Hamilton Thanks John.

[@kiffing]

Love the project, I really enjoy the way you are doing your videos now. Great editing.

[@davidsavage2650]

Awesome stuff! Its looking great. At 1:01 my wife says "Hope he got his fire extinguisher yearly maintenance done." Keep up the awesome work!

[@pennyroyal3813]

Jay, your skills at building and video quality are improving rapidly. Very nice project.

[@hibob]

Amazing video. I especially liked how you superimposed the sketchup drawing as you named the stiles, rails, etc.

[@SmallestWorkshopGH]

A great design, well thought out and constructed. Look forward to many more videos of such quality.👍

[@matthewflint8065]

Awesome build Jay! I like how you find the best qualities in construction lumber. Congrats on the sponsorship too!

[@cognitor900]

My wife is never allowed to see this video....apart from the slick production qualities Mr Bates, my wife believes that is how all furniture should be made with nary a nail in sight with solid wood frames and panels, solid wood dust-panels, judicious use of ply and super solid drawer boxes with ball bearing slides. That piece should last a 100 years. Plus please....can you do a video on showing how other youtubers can speed up their editing so as we don't have to watch 5 mins of cutting similar parts without the 2x or 3x frame rate? Please??!!! Great work, as always.

[@LSLearmont]

Hey Jay, it has been a while since I last checked out your channel and I must say I'm impressed! You've really stepped up your woodworking game and video making! Liked this project very much. Keep up the good work!

[@JayBates]

Pieterjan Kloosterman Thank you and thanks for stopping by :)

[@tatebrown9118]

Very nice build! It's really cool to see your editing, graphics work and overall video style develop and just get better and better. One last thing; the "Get to the choppa!" bit was great!

[@CirclesWoodshop]

Nice work man! I appreciate that you put this out for my wood working entertainment!

[@Sawdustgirl]

Your dresser turned out great and your video was super amusing. I love all your sound effects. I now feel the need to go find a vintage pinball machine to play with!

[@JayBates]

Sandra Powell aka {Sawdust Girl} Thanks Sandra! Much appreciated.

[@dantaylor7416]

Wow wow wow wow!! Gorgeous piece of furniture!!! The dad in me wants you to route those edges, especially with teddy bears near by. But, the artist in me says “nah” :) minimalist styling/lines + grain choice + that wax= Whoah awesome!!

[@ridervectors314]

Sell out, this looks more like traditional woodworking. Great video Jay. To be honest I haven't watched many of your videos all the way through lately, this one I did.

[@JayBates]

Jeremy Rider Thanks and thanks :)

[@SimgoWood]

Great Job! your well organized shop makes a job like that easier and enjoyable

[@brianmcghee2756]

Great video Jay. Awesome editing as usual and a fantastic project, one of the best so far. Didn't mind the sponsor ad at all (beautiful bedroom by the way). Keep it up!

[@JayBates]

Brian McGhee Thank you Brian. Much appreciated.

[@MajidAlQassimi]

Jay you are the only woodworker that has got me to burst out laughing while watching vids! Epic Arnold salute! And as always epic edit!

[@JoseAndrade-ic7er]

This is really cool. Wish I had all the tools and skills to build my own furniture. Great video.

[@doogaloo86]

Quality Craftsmanship at its finest! awesome work bud

[@rds333]

This project turned out really well. My only suggestion would be to add panels to your dust frames. I use 1/4 inch Masonite to all my dust frames. Good job!!

[@natehayes82]

The production value of your channel is top notch. Keep it up

[@AZQuadRunner]

As usual, excellent work. And the best video editing on the Interwebs!

[@YouGumppy]

WOW! Dimensional lumber can really turn out some wonderful looking projects. I wish you would do a "how to" video to show how you get loose tenons, drawer hardware, etc. to jump into their designated places. I have to personally pick up, discuss, lay out, drill or glue, remove and reposition almost all of those things when I build. Maybe I need to move to Mississippi? Thanks for the great vid and the website(s).

[@Jfresh55]

not sure what's better, your ability to build or your ability to edit videos.

[@JayBates]

josh h Biscuits. Biscuits are better by far.

[@MichaelLawing]

Love the additional editing treatment you gave this video. Best one yet!

[@chrispagobo]

I wish i could build one of ur projects with my limited tools on hand,i really love ur woodworking skills,the editing is a A+ idea of entertaining ur viewers.

[@MakeitExtreme]

Wow, Hello Jay... I'm new to your channel and i'm really really excited. Thanks for sharing, Great project..!!

[@mystereoistooloud37]

You’re video editing skills are as amazing as your woodworking skills! Keep it up!

[@Andys12169]

Awesome build Jay, I think you're the master at dimensional lumber builds. Also, get to the chopper!

[@ExpatPhil]

Great build Jay, I've not seen one of those floating tenon cutters before, an overgrown biscuit jointer! Come to think of it, I'm not likely to see one down here...lol

[@bulkhead]

Love your video style and the plan is fantastic. Showed my 10 year old son the "choppa" part, he said "that guy is cool."

[@JayBates]

Jason Brundage Nice!!! :)

[@WILSON.1]

holy cow, amazing diligence and work ethic.

[@lilmort2]

Great project Jay. And as always, I enjoyed the little extra touches in editing.

[@guillermoguevara3641]

You rock, great job! greetings from Bogotá, Colombia

[@JayBates]

[@DIYTyler]

What a beautiful piece of furniture Jay! Must have been a TON of footage to edit though.

[@JayBates]

***** Most video I've shot for a single project to date. More so than my dog house video.

[@bobkd5fjd823]

Man you are amazing! Love your videos and super happy I found your KZbin Channel. Thank you for taking all the time to produce them!

[@mlbailey2]

Awesome build and informative video! It sufficiently informed me that there's no way I could build a dresser...

[@markopesevski]

Dayum that turned out very well. Nice furniture piece! Keep up the great videos, your editing style rocks.

[@JayBates]

Marko Peshevski Thank you Marko.

[@donaldjackson9747]

[@craigpereira6381]

I like the cross you have in that room. Is it one you made? Or bought?

[@JayBates]

Craig Pereira Wife bought it.

[@JayBates]

Rocky1115 Thank you dude.

[@MariusHornberger]

Really nice build + video, Jay.

[@JayBates]

Marius Hornberger Thanks Marius. I very much appreciate it. Glad to have this one behind me. Both the video and project took up a huge chunk of time.

[@GetHandsDirty]

Jay Bates Totally worth it!
