    I purchased this dresser from an auction for an entire dollar. Nobody else bid for it, so lucky me~
    I actually really like when I find dressers like this that have all the drawer fronts touching edge-to-edge. It makes the front of the dresser one big canvas, and it gives me a ton of creative freedom. My original idea with the handles, as seen in the video, had to be scrapped because it didn't look as nice as I thought it would. I think with the drawers themselves looking so nice on their own with the scored lines, and the handles being a bit chunky, it was just much better to keep it simple and do one handle per drawer.
    If you enjoyed this makeover, please like and subscribe to see more. And if you have any questions, I would be happy to answer your comments.
    Thank you for watching :)

    Wow! EVERYTHING about this video is wonderful. Thank you for not having pounding, throbbing or any other annoying type of music. Your minimalist approach to videography is a breath of fresh air. The project itself is a showcase of your skills and passion working with wood. You have a new subscriber in me. Thank you for sharing your talent and passion.

      I agree. I usually turn off the sound so I don't have to listen to annoying, repetitive music. I turn on captioning if I need to hear explanations. But since I will never do this myself, I enjoy watching the process without needing to know the specifics. I often listen to UA-cam news, a Podcast, or an audiobook while I watch a video (with sound off) of someone creating something beautiful.

      Funny, taste is so personal; I would have preferred it without the staining and _with_ the asymetrical drawer handles. But everything is so well done, both in design analysis, translating gut feeling and exceptional execution, in the end it truly doesnt matter. Absolutely gorgeous piece of furniture.

    I love how you can turn an old piece of furniture that nobody wants into a piece of art.
    And you show how you did it in such a peaceful and artistic way. Like... Do we need to see that woodpecker pecking at the tree in your garden? No. Do we love it? ABSOLUTELY!
    Keep it up ♥
    Also: Is this your job or a hobby? This must take so much time! the way you taped up the parts you wanted to put handles on and then tried out different patterns, you had to remove and retape everytime until you found the one you liked, and every step is thought of carefully and planned and then you take the time to edit it so beautifully...
    I hope you make money out of this

    Wow! Every time I watch a new video of yours, it's better than the last & I think, well, he's reached his apex. But, dude, you keep out-doing yourself! This is gorgeous! Also very impressed with all the little "tricks" you use, like that elaborate but effective ... jig??... you used for cutting the legs. And the clamps & bendy piece you used for sketching the curve on the skirt. For the first time I found myself thinking, this guy is so good & I LOVE these transformations, wouldn't want him to stop doing that, BUT, I'm starting to wonder what he'd do without the limits of an existing structure. That is, what would a piece look like that you designed, yourself, from the ground up?! I was skeptical when you went for so MANY shades of color, then the way you ultimately decided to do the handles just brought it all together w/out sacrificing the interest you were trying to generate. Sir, you are a master, in the old & most complimentary definition of the word. Salute!

    Oh wow it looks like a totally different piece. I love the new base. Delighted you didn't put 15 handles on it and I love the placement of the handles you did attach. Great job as always.

    Andy it's interesting that you used the word "canvas" in the description. Because this is nothing less than a pristine work of art. It's amazing. From the variation in stain on the front to the grooves you added to the idea you came up with for the handles. Sheer genius. I just couldn't stop looking at this piece!! BEAUTIFUL!!
