    Since I first saw this video, one month after my husband passed away. My son I started working on his dresser last night. We've only out in thicoer plywood in the bottom of the two offset very wide sections on the right side of the piece! We're did our own cutting down of a 4 x 8 piece of plywood, which took us a very long time to do with our Dremel tool! Next we're going to clean, glue in the shelves, cut out the back pieces for the cords, spread out wood filler and lightly sand. Lastly, we will use Minwax polyshades in espresso on the whole thing, even the hardware and on the back! Thanks for making this video! Everythong looks so professional and I hope your first client still loves hers as much as we will love ours and our t.v. thats been still in the shipping package since the summertime.

      Where are you from. Any chance in Florida? I can't wait to see the drawer fronts. I have a huge dresser, armour and poster queen bed with lots of details and want to refinish that along with many other pieces around the house.

      I want my bedroom set done or I will have to sell it. Same with my fancy dining room table chair set. that will definitely be for sale because it's not meant and will never look ristic.

    This maybe late Ms. Bee. I don't remember if I have written anything before about this. I tried this about three years ago or so. Guess what? Your instructions were spot on. I didn't do quite as much as you did, however, I took an old dresser and gave a little more life to it. I had a chance to do such because we were experiencing a water leak, so the furniture had to be taken outside letting me seize the day!
    Everyone that has seen it, even some seasoned carpenters, have said that it was great. Thank you. You taught me a skill. If I need to fix something or spruce something up, I can do so. Thank you.

You are very good at describing your steps and what you use. I learned a lot from you, so thank you very much. I will sub. Oh, and your conversion turned out beautiful.

    Love the video. At first when i saw the caulk i was like hell no. But i am used to maybe having finish nail a new frame to cover those like when you build a cabinet but looked really well after. I just needed to be patient. Lol. The sprayer is awesome but if you invest in a little pancake compressor and spray gun as you grow the spray finish will be amazing and even better than the one you are using now. Excellent video i was very impressed.

      The pricing is up to Managers and the more money the store makes, the bigger their monthly bonus! I was an Assistant Manager at McKinney Texas one.
