"I'm a bit of an overbuilder...." In our house one of us usually says, "I feel sorry for the person that has to take this apart again" and then it's usually one of us! 😆

You had me at "Goodnight Moon" by Margaret Wise Brown! Read that lierally thousands of times between both my kids (who are now adults!). hahahahaha

The nightstand looks better than okay. It looks functional and attractive.

For shop furniture, try to obtain some scrap Formica. Glue that on the parts that glide against one another. Of course, remember to allow for the thickness when designing the drawers and "slides" (runners). <br><br> Another option that doesn't wear as well but works fine if the drawers aren't pulled out excessively is the vinyl that sign companies use. It's quite heavy-duty stuff. And a lot of it has adhesive on the back.

Funny and very good and interesting. I’m sending it to my fix it. Guy. I am hoping he will build me a bedroom dresser 60 inches wide and with drawers that are 14 inches deep from the front to the back and maybe 7 inches deep up front all the way around. For some reason they do not make dressers with deep drawers. I live in Tucson and I would love it if anybody sees this to tell me if they make furniture, thank you very much for your video even though I can’t do any of that or have any of that material or have any of that equipment that I’d love to see it when people can make things. Especially young people like you. I wish more young people would get into the market.

Mr perfect "Mr perfect, as I call you" I have been struggling all this long with the fitting of Drawers because I don't like those modern fittings, especially to other peoples that don't care that much. Now this is perfect to anyone "Rich or Poor' but will have a perfect Drawer. THANKX

I think 40 is a nice warm day in the winter.

You could edge-band the tops of the part mounted to the carcass (or both that and the drawer itself) with Melamine. Very smooth. Very slick.
