your son must think you’re a magician for making that for him. Great job man!

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

He's pretty stoked about it, thanks for watching!

[@RJMBricks]

Looks so good!! Glad you didn’t slap all the basic lego colors on it, but rather used a subtler color scheme, really suits the build well!

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Thanks! I wanted to keep it a little more realistic.

[@kevinb6102]

“I’m all done son. Now check out these Blum soft close under mount drawer slides.”😂. Dude amazing build as always came out great!

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Haha gotta teach em young. Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@6453bianchi]

I’m 40 years old and want one of these in my room. 😂 awesome build as always.

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Heck yeah! I think when my son moves on from this one I’ll be adding it to my office

[@c.a.g.1977]

Yep!

[@gavinlahr]

i just started getting into woodworking, and i LOVE your videos! Not only do you make the coolest stuff out of wood, but you also TEACH your audience the ins and outs of what you are doing. keep up the good work!

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Thanks mate and welcome to the club! I do my best to make it a fun mix of interesting projects along with instruction. I appreciate the support!

[@a9ball1]

That is so great. I remember my first Lego set. For my 8th birthday in 1969. Back then they only had the basic shapes. Now I'm thinking about building one. 😊

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

You should do it! It was a ton of fun.

[@Lutzboater]

Unique and totally cool. I bet he loved it !! " Yelling into the fan,,," Brought back a childhood memory,,thanks !!

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

He did! Haha, it was a favorite pastime. 😂

[@back2brick2]

this is great! I'd love to have this in my LEGO office!

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Thanks! Sounds like it would make an awesome addition!

[@mrboics]

Dovetail. but for non solid wood furniture like this i think rabbet is more appropriate. Great build. Thanks!

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

I couldn’t agree more, thank you!

[@matthysloedolff]

Dovetails. That dresser is quite possibly every kid's dream dresser. Looks amazing and I really like the use of SNOT for the Lego bricks.

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Haha thanks man! Yeah, he loves it!

[@natashaadams8115]

i have no idea if dovetail or rabbit looks better as i don’t know anything about woodworking other than my obsession with watching woodworking videos, but it turned out great! i would have loved that dresser as a kid

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Glad you enjoyed this one! I think I’ve set the bar high for future projects for my son. Not sure if that was a good idea haha

[@dobystrock9404]

Another show stopper incoming! This looks amazing!!!

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

You know it, thanks!

[@akhagee4707]

Dovetail and Rabbit. My favorite drawers are rabbits on the front & dovetail on the back.

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

I’m I fan of those too. I tend to flip them the other way though.

[@Pascal-pf7wp]

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Thanks man! I appreciate it

[@gettinguponthe1]

There was a line in New Girl where someone says something along the lines of putting furniture together is “high stakes legos”. They were referring to IKEA type furniture but it’s a perfect analogy.

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Haha, that’s pretty accurate

23/32s is such a mouthfull and mathy thing for just 18mm.

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

I 100% agree with you

[@romanmaksimov2024]

beautiful

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Thanks, I appreciate it!

[@PresumablyTunes]

For the studs on the cnc, i believe there's a way you can make the cnc cut out a ring outside your final cut and leave a small connector then you do the actual cut and cut through the connector last - it's been a while since I used a cnc but i remember doing something similar a few times

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Yeah absolutely, those are called tabs, but unfortunately the issue Iw as having wasn't so much that the studs were moving, it was that the bit wasn't long enough.

[@GrizzCraftCustoms]

Dovetails and Rabbets - depends on the piece. Love your videos and builds, great job. Do you happen to have a layout of your shop space w/ dimensions? Thanks for the content!

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

That’s fair. Thanks man. I’m glad you enjoyed it. Unfortunately, I do not have a layout with dimensions but at some point soon, I plan on doing another shop tour and I’ll include something like that.

[@primatte4552]

[@williambuckley1185]

Very good video. a great idea for kids.

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Thank you!

[@jaderene]

Dovetails, I really like the classic look of dovetails, but for joinery that I’m not worried about being seen I would be okay with using rabbets.

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Dido!

[@davestinyworkshop]

Dovetails definitely! Great idea, I love the idea of life-size Lego. Just curious though, since you're scaling upwards, wouldn't it be 24:1?

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Thank you! Yeah, you’re probably right on that.

[@howieblack8958]

Man this is cool! I’d love a dresser like this as a kid but honestly I’d even use it now. 😂 Great build and stellar video as always!

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

I'm glad you enjoyed the build! This one was a lot more work than I anticipated.

[@snteevveetns]

Dove tails. I’ve had to replace too many rabbited drawer boxes in my house. And COMPLETELY agree about “time lapse” button for real life! It would increase my productivity in the shop!

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Haha agreed on both counts!

[@fcschoenthal]

Love the whimsical build. I've never used tinted Rubio (other than smoke), but not really a fan of the finish it produced. Really like the video and dresser though. - Chris

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

I had some issue with splotching but I think that is more from hard maple than the Rubio. Appreciate it, man.

[@IntrexinCustom]

Great Video! The secret to CNC woodworking is dont force a project onto it, design a project for it. Like your door pulls, I feel your pain there hahahaha. But the solution would of been using thinner wood, and having it be a 2 part design. Esp if you did something like indexing holes than alignment would of been easy. And if the wood doesnt watch then use a different kind and call it a feature haha

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Thanks man! Yeah, CNC work can be tricky but I'm starting to embrace the process. There are a lot of nuances to feed rates and speeds so once I have that more dialed in I think I'll enjoy it more.... and of course more "features." haha, thanks for watching!

[@CJ-rl4kd]

[@Lars_E_Mou]

Yeah! That's a interesting idea! Maybe Lego can make a deal with Ikea on that! 👍

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Thanks man, let’s make a deal!

[@planetzebulon21]

Talking into a fan… My first wood project was a piece of 2x4 with a long nail pounded into it. I had a waki talkie

Making furniture out of massive wooden lego?? Na, you need to build a house with em

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Haha, coming soon… jk

[@kristenhumphrey2886]

Lego actually did make furniture when they started in 1916.

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

You learn something new everyday! Pretty cool that the founder started out as a woodworker.

[@BerndRenzing]

Is the Front not to Heavy? Could you‘ve done the rounds hollowed? Great Job!

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

The drawer fronts are pretty heavy but not enough to affect the functionality. I suppose you could hollow them out though to lighten the load. Thanks for watching!

[@the_austrian_brick]

i like the dove tail more. it just looks better. im not a woodworker but still.

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

All good! As a woodworker, I’m a fan of dovetails too they appeal to everyone.

Rabbit I guess since I've never cut dovetails before. Nice work, enjoy all your videos!

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Dovetails are a whole lot of fun. They just take quite a bit of practice. Happy to hear you enjoyed this one, thanks for the support!

[@yohannsantos4901]

Hi! Sweet project. I would be glad to buy the plans for this dresser. Your plans come always imperial and metric?

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

I appreciate it mate! Most of the plans are in imperial but I have a couple in metric.

[@gayahithwen]

Dovetail. Beautiful work, I bet your son is thrilled! Re: "is that a word?" (around 16:34), as someone who has studied linguistics, I'm a hard believer in a descriptive rather than a prescriptive approach to language. What that means in this case is, if you're using a word and it's clear from context what that word means, you're 100% in the clear. In this case, "edge-banded" is absolutely fine, whether it's in the dictionary or not. Language is something we all make up as we go along. It changes over time, depending on the needs of the people who use it. There are some times when prescriptive linguistics are useful. Schools teach a uniform variant of language, in order to enable people to communicate with people outside of their local area. And if you're playing a word game (like, for example, Scrabble), it matters whether a word is in the dictionary or not, because it's a good tie-break rule for contested words. But beyond that, any word that communicates meaning to someone else is a word.

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Thank you! He loves it. And I appreciate the well thought out and thorough answer as to whether that was work or not. I say things all the time that probably don’t live in a dictionary. Haha good to know I’m not always wrong.

[@c.a.g.1977]

Dovetails to look at. Rabets to make them. Dang, those drawer fronts came out pretty good! Gotta love Lego, the sets they make nowadays: awesome! They're really nice. Only had those simple square bricks when I was young. And fans to talk into to sound like a robot... 😂

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Thanks, and yeah, it’s a pretty nostalgic look! My son has a lot of wild sets, keeping track of them is a chore haha

[@brucehartweg4946]

Rabbit. Nice build. It’s fun, but still quality.

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Thanks! A solid balance is what I was going for

[@moneymakingmikeg.9555]

Shane!!! Besides the Dad jokes this is all I hear in the voiceover.... blah blah balddy dee dee blah blah... ONLY cause I have NO idea what most of the terminology means LOL!!! But... that doesn't ever stop me from watching & knowing that something super DOPE is being created!! This is so freakin cool. I woulda personally LOVED to see some orange on it but, that's just my 2 very insignificant cents. Stil came out super DOPE!!! Blessings Bud, Dirty Jersey out!!!!

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

[@jonprovencebell4171]

Dovetails: because they are stronger.

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Good point!

[@_InTheBin]

Man, that's a nice project. Looks awesome. However, I don't know better and am in the metric system at home and I believe to remember that I've once heard the subdivision of an inch is called a mil in opposite to a second which you said and which is I suppose a bow measured in, isn't it? But maybe I'm messing it all up so please don't mind. Greetings!

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Thank you! A mil is more for decimal point measurements in inches rather than fractions. Imperial can be cumbersome.

Never mind your guidelines done knocked out my comment

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Oh man now I’m super curious 👀

[@mattelias721]

Rabbets, because I'm forced to spend money on silly non-woodworking stuff like food, water, electricity, home repair and maintenance, and car payments. Sheesh. I think my personal reaction to this is that Lego rocks, and this is a great project that MIGHT get a young man to actually use his dresser. I'm not a fan of the strict adherence to the scaling to the Lego - it makes the nubs (??) too chunky and sticky-out... for me. I also constantly wonder why the color green - in either paint, stain, or dye approaches - always seems to not quite work (ref. your answer regarding the blotchiness). Last, doing the edge banding before cutting components is The Way.

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Haha, dovetails are quite time consuming too! The scale side of things definitely made this one more challenging and I can totally understand how the studs can look heavy. I had the same concern, but I think the end result looks balanced. Thanks for watching!

[@pavloszimbrakos4410]

Man these videos are so cool but the narrating is SO boring I had to skip a good chunk of the video because of it. It did not need to be THIS long
