My daughter has been asking me to build her a dresser for years now, but its been so long she forgot she asked. Today I surprise her with a custom dresser that matches her other bedroom furniture I built. As a bonus I built her some llive edge shelves, and she was more excited about the shelves than the dresser.

The woodworker that never makes mistakes is a liar. Doesn’t really matter how many mistakes are made, although frustrating, it’s the ability to fix them that counts. I always appreciate the honest ones. Keep up the good work.

[@JonnyBuilds]

Exactly!!!

[@jasmeralia]

​@@JonnyBuildsmeasure twice, cut once. Realize you messed up the measurements, so measure three more times and cut one more time. 😂

[@williammaxwell1919]

All "mistakes" are learning /teaching moments

[@jasmeralia]

@@williammaxwell1919 agreed. I know I certainly learn more from failure than success... the lesson sinks in deeper, faster.

[@jonny555ive]

​@@jasmeralia 100% AGREED !

[@williammaxwell1919]

Your daughter's reaction to the shelves... WOW! You may not have built them, but you facilitated their build. Kudos you and Jeff.

[@ioncladstudio2688]

still a massive upgrade from the actions of most parents which would be to give the kid an IKEA gift card.. that girl will be 90 years old.. weeping every time she tells her great grand kids about the time her dad surprised her with these shelves. IKEA cards don't have that power IMO. :P

[@curiouser-and-curiouser]

@@ioncladstudio2688 If my momma had given me a ring out of a gumball machine, I would cherish it for the rest of my life. My father could build a house with his bare hands & I would set fire to it. I would tell my great grand kids how my mother went without so she could give me an IKEA gift card. That power doesn't come from material items.

[@Easy_Going__]

Thanks, Bezos! Chloe’s reaction was worth it all. So pure and loving. What a lucky daughter ❤

[@SteveBueche1027]

Thanks Bozo! They look fantastic sir.

[@carlylewis7088]

You’ve built memories for her. That’s really sweet!

[@jasmeralia]

And honestly, not just memories... heirlooms.

[@kennybigmac81]

You, sir, are not a mediocre woodworker. Your stuff is amazing.

[@TotalBoat]

Chloe's reaction is priceless! The dresser and shelves turned out amazing!

[@sarahbatcher6749]

Her happiness and appreciation is what made this entire video. The craftsmanship was awesome but her face and smile is what made every mistake worth it all. Way to go DAD

[@groverprice4755]

Thanks Bezos. Just a tip, the T nuts you used to attach the legs should go on the inside of the cabinet so that when threaded in, it compresses into the wood. (This is what they use to attach climbing holds to walls, if the nut was on the outside of the wall, you’d rip it right out!) Like the design and pop of color!

[@jasmeralia]

I don't think it really matters here unless you're trying to hold the dresser upside down by the legs. Here, it's not providing structural/load-bearing support to the legs; it's just about keeping the legs attached. Much like Dominos might not add any notable strength or stability when joining two pieces, but they're absolutely amazing for alignment purposes. Rock walls matter a lot more because those bolts are load-bearing. They're around a 90° angle to the ground, so you have to account for shearing force on the bolt itself and (if it's not a perfect 90°) also horizontal tear-out force, which is where you're entirely right about where they should be placed. In fact, I'd argue that in this case, where the most normal force being asserted is a downward one from gravity, the position of the tips he used is actually more correct, as they will dig into the wood further as additional weight is added inside the dresser. Your suggestion would have the tips grab more as the legs are tightened, but that's not really important... maximum tension won't always be correct if you need to accommodate for a floor that isn't perfectly level (aka most of them, heh).

[@groverprice4755]

You’re both right, I’ve just only used them the other way which makes more sense in my brain.

[@teaguewhite26]

I was thinking the same thing also when it slid across the floor instead of lifted there's less of a chance being ripped off the bottom. I'm sure that was probably covered in the long explanation of why it doesn't matter though 😂

[@colleenlovesbolan]

You are very talented, your daughter will treasure such beautiful pieces from her dad.

[@arzellecolon7812]

Beautiful I loved her reaction to everything , good dad😊

[@noreenlatimer8193]

You did a fantastic job and the smile on her face says it all. Bravo

[@bobbidudley2362]

I loved her reaction, priceless !

[@douglaymac7796]

Thanks Bezos! Very nice project! I like how you added the resin!

[@barbaragraham9961]

What a great Dad for a great Daughter.

[@freqenc]

Honesty deserves a 👍

[@JenniferBtheGroove]

Soooo Beautiful! Great job on the dresser, your daughter truly appreciates both.

[@rachelruwe219]

I LOVE the pop of color!! Your such a good dad. She will keep everything you make and pass them down forever ❤

[@rodrigobarreto1376]

Thanks bezos! I love watching every single one of your videos. They’re so genuine and every piece you make are really made with all the love you have

[@ryansimmons3818]

Great job, man! I’m sure the appreciation from your daughter made everything 1000x better and worth it all! 👌🏻

[@geemail369]

_"They're _*_exactly_*_ what i've wanted!"_ ... So you did listen. Good job. Greatest gift ever made! 🏆

[@DevilZrain]

Absolutely gorgeous! I don't usually love the light wood colours but these look so amazing!

[@bishoplg]

Thanks, Bezos! I love your work. I've been watching you for some time now, and it's been great. It's great watching you build things for your family. Now you said it's meant to be part of the set.. although I've seen every build for your daughter. If you can, would you do a short walk through of that bedroom set? Show / highlight all the pieces as a set. Thank you for be an awesome woodworker and father!

[@christine3627]

What a beautiful dresser! Your daughter will love the memories and sentimental heartstrings of this unique treasure lovingly handmade by her daddy. ❤️

[@christaylor3837]

Thanks, Bezos. Amazing craftsmanship!! I love Chloé's reaction! She is very lucky to have a talented dad that obviously loves her. Love your genuine reactions Chloé!

[@gregturnbow7089]

Super cool, lucky girl, loving Dad. Outstanding!!!

[@elpresidente8730]

I enjoyed watching this video, it's nice to make things that people truly appreciate. Your daughter will think of you every time she looks at that dresser.

[@3s-Woodworking]

Thanks Bezos! New to woodworking and also the cnc world. Love the innovations the cnc brings and definitely excited to do some custom work just as awesome as yours.

[@Amy-oy5hk]

Your daughter is a lucky gal! I love your humility, but your craftsmanship is impressive. Way to go Dad!

[@dreamcrone]

Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️ she is so lucky!!!

[@bigpoppavic]

Her reaction was one that all fathers hope to achieve. Great work

[@deborahmatatall]

This is gorgeous stuff! You are lots of fun to watch and your taste and vision are exquisite. For the beautiful shelf brackets I will say, “Thanks, Bezos!”🌸

[@bethbradshaw875]

Thanks, Bezos. What a fun build. Thanks for sharing Chloe's reaction; it's such pure joy!

[@Unc_Talks]

Handmade furniture from Dad is AMAZING.. Id keep everything. So cool man... I know she is so proud of you..

[@scocassovegetus]

This is what dads do. This is how dads show their love. Dads are awesome.

[@lyn-felicecalvin1549]

Those are so beautiful. What a gift.

[@christinebeames712]

Clever dad . Lovely girl xx

[@vrroniquejones3888]

The doors you thought were flawed and too small are the best part of a really simple project that adds to the decor of your daughter's room .Put plywood on the back and bottom and it's a shelf. Put the same resin in the grooves. It'll also be the only project you made for her that she'll be able to take to any dorm she might move in😊

[@siskse]

To have a child that appreciates your work is wonderful! That chest is gorgeous!

[@gblan]

What a great dad.

[@c.a.g.1977]

Her reaction: priceless!!! Awesome build, Jonny!

[@MrKeith1592]

Thanks bezos! Awesome surprises for your daughter. And an awesome design! Items she will have for life!

[@TomasFernandez79]

Beautiful dresser. I have one with the drawers painted mint and it gives a nice touch.

[@sams7769]

Hahaha loved all of this video! Thanks for being real. "Thanks Bazoes"

[@bryantfalk7021]

Great video. Love watching creators. Thanks for making

[@HiTechDiver]

Awesome work, but the best part of this video is the Father/Daughter bond !

[@carriesmith3421]

Thanks bezos! I buy pretty much everything from Amazon. It’s so simple and they have everything I can ever think of or the products to make them. I absolutely love those shelves. I want some all over my house. The gold underneath show off the beautiful colors of the wood. Perfection! One lucky girl.

[@baconcanadian4125]

her reaction is everything

[@ima-goodgirl]

Thanks Bezos! Beautiful beautiful furniture! Your daughter is so fortunate to have such a thoughtful and loving daddy.

[@phild8095]

The reveal, best part. Thank you.

[@rebadaful]

Thanks Bezos! Absolutely stunning shelves, and the dresser is awesome too! I always loved it when my dad built something for me, or fixed something I broke. Keep up the good work, Dad! You have a very happy daughter.

[@raidadave7840]

Awesome video!! Loved your daughter's reaction!

[@thomascushing5108]

Thanks Bezos! The inlay is the cool thing for me. I always thought it was some super labor intensive process of cutting and shaping those intricate pieces. Didn't realize you just slop on colored epoxy, and plane off the excess. Easy-peezy!

[@andrewbalint1628]

THANKS BEZOS! There is nothing better then making your kids happy. Awesome builds Johnny

[@cjd2615]

What a dad… Chloe, you lucky girl. Amazing workmanship!

[@dianaspy6733]

I’m blown away! So sweet that you love your daughter so much! My dad wanted sons. I’m retired and dads passed on. Learning to love myself unconditionally! Lol Be made Blissful Everyone! Thanks Bezos!

[@MASI_forging]

Awesome build. That was precious moment 👏👏

[@forzerotoo]

Thanks Besos!!! Beautiful build!!!

[@nzlemming]

I watched to the end, but there's no way I'm going to thank that man.

[@ambertillie7949]

Thanks bezo! Such a beautiful bedroom set

[@berghauss]

Her reaction......priceless. Love it.

[@JH-bf7be]

Wow! It’s my first time visiting this channel and I’m instantly addicted to it!

[@jerryrudolph6603]

Thanks Bezos.I love your enthusiasm for woodworking and your love for your daughter.I suffer from depression, am also a woodworker and you give me inspiration to keep going..Projects turned out great. Thank you.

[@MrsGump]

Thanks Bezos! I love this! Altho i genuinely always like the stuff you design & make so this was no surprise that i loved this too!

[@christopherdaniellenewborn5836]

THANKS BEZO'S. love what you're doing!

[@Drevid]

Thanks Bazos Amazing pieces. I don't feel as bad about my mistakes when I see a professional doing them also.

[@a.b.d.3974]

Awww so sweet

[@skyrere]

Thanks, Bezos! Chloe's reaction was perfect. I would have loved to have you as a dad. What a loved daughter she is. Also, thank you for your honest and funny approach to all of this. You show us that you don't have to be perfect, and it's ok.

[@rudybigboote3883]

I too am a woodworker and I also have made, among other things, a dresser for my daughter, who is now 20 years old! Great work Dad!

[@christinefuller3168]

Thanks Bezos! Great job! I love the beautiful relationship you have with your daughter. It really comes across in the video. The love and respect between the two of you will benefit her so much in choosing a life partner. Great job Dad!!!

[@gamercs21]

Thanks Bezos, everything looked great. Well done and I love the approach of showing how imperfect the craft of building can be.

[@larryjefferson2146]

Thanks Bezos. That was strange. Love the painted interior highlights! Nice job!

[@Miastrong930]

Amazing. I always like that you include mistakes. No one is perfect. I prefer that to videos where everything is perfect. It eases the stress and disappointment of making my own mistakes.

[@jasmeralia]

Thanks, Bezos! I love seeing the builds you do for your family. Like, they know what you can do, but you always blow them away each and every time. I adore that. I think there's a saying (probably from the Bible) that "a prophet has no honor in his home city" or something like that. Meaning that the people who know you the best also know your flaws the best. And the way you bring such joy and excitement to the ones who love you the most is an incredible attestation not just to your skills (both in the shop and out of it), but also to your dedication towards improving your craft with each piece.

[@jimrosson6702]

Thanks Bezos, the dresser turned out beautiful looks amazing , and love the look of the shelves think they would have been cool as floating shelves but know the slabs are kinda thin to do that also

[@funkyjohnhuie]

The joys of making a daughter happy! 👍🏽😀

[@timbroome8415]

Thanks bezos That was a interesting build. You have the coolest tools.

[@reneepauze7210]

Thanks Bezos! I loved both the live edge shelves and the curvy bureau with those great doors!

[@eegarim]

Thanks Bezos! Another great video! Loved those live-edge shelves!❤

[@anncampbell9257]

Would have made/bought hexagon drawer pulls to keep with the same shape, but the ones you got still look real good.

[@valhallamaker8356]

Thanx Beezos. I enjoyed the build
