Thanks for tuning! If you prefer to watch without commentary then click here - ua-cam.com/video/KIiA3oYDrpI/v-deo.html Also be sure to catch Part 2 of this build here - ua-cam.com/video/F37NWLaNUW4/v-deo.html
Man, I love the quiet videos but this voiceover is cool too. I loved having you explain the process. Not instructions on how to build but just your thoughts on the process. That was very good.
The squaring set-ups are the results level and plum because those joints are snug... That had always amazed me. Thank You for the demonstration, nice work.
Absolutely prefer the narrated video. Hearing your thought process, design choices and reasons, along with the occasional screw up adds so much to the video. I also enjoy the silent projects. Now that I know you studied film and video, I understand why your videos are so compelling and satisfying to watch. Really appreciate your talents.
Just like in the 1800s...with modern components. This takes skill like folks at Clore Furniture in Madison, VA. They have made furnishings just like what you're doing since 1830. Andy, Google them, I think you would be at home in your mindsets. This is an exquisite piece.
I know what you mean with the planer. That thing is golden. I have one in my shop and I have one outside that does top and bottom but goes much larger. It’ll cut thru Douglas fur and ask for more. The only thing that is time consuming is changing the blades on the drums. That is half a day right there. You have to change them and level them on both drums and on all four on the inside planer. I also have a band saw similar to the one you have. It’s a nice set-up. I’m not gonna lie. Nice piece of work you made for the client.
I must subscribe!!! but not before i make a comment ...this dresser is such a beautiful example of what good craftsmanship is and yet it is only a small piece of the pieces needed in a room....
There are a ton of videos on how to build furniture on UA-cam (and I enjoy watching them) but they do not compare to your level of craftsmanship. Your mixture of modern and primitive style of woodworking is spot on!!
Extremely nice piece. I like to use the dominos for that apron. Then you don’t have any nail holes to care for. It if you aren’t worried about it that’s fine too. It takes more time to use the dominos. Again, very nice work.
I had to stop two minutes in. What a great machine, that S4S! I'm sure it cost a mint, but well worth it. I do it by hand occasionally and each board could take 20-30 minutes all together. Wow!
You are a very skilled craftsman for sure that's a nice looking unit wish young people would learn these skills so that the trade continues to live on.
I really enjoy your voice over and your explanation as you build. The silent videos are good, but I prefer hearing you walk us through your process out loud. Thanks for the great content, keep it up!
I like the narration. I can just watch the process without missing the details of the video. Thanks. I learned another great trick. Cut the large leg chamber after assembly.
I'm loving the way this dresser is taking shape. New matching dressers, bed frame, and side tables are on my to do list for next year. I'm really hoping to sway my wife away from the metal frame stuff so I can practice my joinery and trim making skills.
Watched both videos, normally I like the silent version, but there was so much technique and detail in this build I got so much more out of this one. Looking forward to the finale!
I enjoy the commentary. You did a great job on this build. Would band clamps made it easier? Our would it not given you enough clamp pressure. I’ve used them before and worked fine on my builds like that. Keep up the videos and can’t wait till you start the timber frame project. Best wishes and God bless
Looks great. I know this video is old but I just found your channel. A tip, for the angled clamping. Save the offcut and tape it back in place then use a clamp to keep it from sliding up. This will square up your corner for more clamping pressure.
Great Build, great narration, and such Beautiful Children you raised. You should be a Proud Man for all! You are my favorite craftsman. Please keep it up. Thanks! I also was curious how your mini splits are woking out. My HVAC guy advised me not to put one in my wood shop. Your ceilings, and thus placement is higher than mine would be.
Man that’s some awesome work. I’m an aspiring wood working by hobby. I be ready for my Saturday and Sunday off to hit the shed to do whatever I can come up with for a project. Just completed building my daughter a TV stand out of some spruce I got from our local lumber yard. I’m working out of a run down 12 x16 metal shed. My goal is to one day have a decent shop to work in. In the meantime I’m picking up a tool here a tool there. This weekend I’m grabbing a set of dado blades or a hand plane..... love your content
I can only think of what a fantastic tribute to an awesome tree. The dresser looks so so great, super old school... wow mate, you're so talented. Cheers from Buenos Aires!!!!.
LOVE the narration! Your craftsmanship and attention to detail is superb. Looking forward to Part 2. Thanks for sharing another great video. Keep up the great work. ATB : )
Spectacular piece! I love the narration; It is encouraging to know to "newer" workers like myself, that everything doesn't always go perfectly for the highly skilled and has to be worked out. The shop is impressive; beautiful sliding wood door with window, wicked cool S4S machine, smiling children and a surfboard............ surfing in Texas, who knew??? Hahahah ! DD
Andy, nice work! I really enjoy your narration and seeing your techniques! It’s very helpful for me as a new wood worker. Plus I love drooling over your shop tools!
Great build. Can't wait to see the rest of it. I also like to finish panels before assembly. The is no way to finish the portion of the panel inside the groove. This way there will be no unfinished area showing if the panel shrinks.
Beautiful. Show the kids, it’s nice to see how it “really” is working at home rather than a production 😊 I like both style of videos fyi....thanks for sharing
I have cut caul type blocks or glued on sacrificial blocks to allow clamping parts together that have either a chamfer like yours or a full radius on the edge the caul blocks just slide or fall off after clamping or in the case of glued blocks that are chiseled off then planed away. Both are methods I use when faced with that situation. Several ways to skin that cat!
lovely. For clamping those awkward corners, use offcuts from chamfer cut, or make matching angle pieces, glue sandpaper to these pieces, and then use these as cauls/protective clamping pieces. If they are long you could clamp the pieces to the carcase. that together with sandpaper, will stop them slipping.
Knocked it out of the park as always. I've enjoyed following this build in your stories, and seeing it all come together in these videos rocks. Hope to build something half as nice some day!
Thanks for the narration! Hearing all of the details that went into the project really help me to appreciate it even more.... And also inspire me to put more passion into my trade
Nice work, love the commentary, way preferable to hear your thoughts and work process to some random music. Those clamping issues are a problem but a longer clamp plate would help. I like to see your use of the saw stop as I am about to set up my new saw stop today.
That is looking absolutely gorgeous. Incredible work on that so far. For clamping the angles could you have done the painters tape and super glue thing? Where you put painters tape on the angled surface and painters tape on what you cut of since that would have the same angle. Then put some super glue on the tape to hold the two pieces together and then clamp it. That way you would have square corners to have your clamps attached to. I’ve seen Mark from the wood whisper do that or suggest doing that for angled pieces.
When you have odd shape to clamp, use straps and cinch them and use a reference surface to make sure everything stays flat. I have made several large tapered post and panel chest/dresser and have had to use this method a lot.

you should get some strap clamps
@@rodshoaf In a situation like that I literally just use ratchet straps
Man, I love the quiet videos but this voiceover is cool too. I loved having you explain the process. Not instructions on how to build but just your thoughts on the process. That was very good.
I prefer people describing what they’re doing during a video. That S4S machine is absolutely awesome.
The squaring set-ups are the results level and plum because those joints are snug... That had always amazed me. Thank You for the demonstration, nice work.
Have a bunch of my grandkids art hanging in my shop, always makes me smile ~
Very attractive piece. The camera shots give great exposure of the work process. And the narrative is clear and smooth. Thanks.

This is an exquisite piece.
I love the videos with music but with voiceover, too. Great explaination!
I prefer a voiceover explaining the process. First time watching one of your videos. I really liked it. Beautiful work by the way.
I know what you mean with the planer. That thing is golden. I have one in my shop and I have one outside that does top and bottom but goes much larger. It’ll cut thru Douglas fur and ask for more.

A workshop like yours, is my biggest dream! 👍
Absolutely top notch work .
Awesome Andy about to watch the second video
Man, your joints can support an elephant! A very beautiful piece!
wow a great video and i have subscribed
love the calm commentary and the quiet way you go about things
the kids get the best seat in the house :-)
Extremely nice piece. I like to use the dominos for that apron. Then you don’t have any nail holes to care for. It if you aren’t worried about it that’s fine too. It takes more time to use the dominos. Again, very nice work.

I love the Shaker style. Solid and simple and attractive. They last for years eh.Great visit once again Andy. Stunning piece !
Thanks!!
Thanks Andy , keenly waiting for part 2.
Just. Really. Beautiful. Work.
I really enjoy your voice over and your explanation as you build. The silent videos are good, but I prefer hearing you walk us through your process out loud. Thanks for the great content, keep it up!
Great video and amazing craftsmanship. Well done.
You definitely have a rare skillset. Very nice.
Thanks for sharing.
I really like the commentary version and am glad you will be doing more of these. Thanks again for the great content
New to the channel, but after watching this, I am subscribing. Great workmanship, great commentary.
A work of art, love how you use the whole piece of wood all the around the dresser. Makes the differences in the wood pop.
Love to hear you explain what you are doing, product use etc.
Came out really nice
I have a passion for Greene & Greene myself. Having said that, excellent craftsmanship speaks for itself no matter the style. Thanks for the video.
I like the narration. I can just watch the process without missing the details of the video. Thanks. I learned another great trick. Cut the large leg chamber after assembly.
I like both styles of videos. Your quiet ones are my version of Bob Ross painting but I love learning along with you as well.
I'm loving the way this dresser is taking shape. New matching dressers, bed frame, and side tables are on my to do list for next year. I'm really hoping to sway my wife away from the metal frame stuff so I can practice my joinery and trim making skills.
Great work yet again. Looking forward to Part 2...
Watched both videos, normally I like the silent version, but there was so much technique and detail in this build I got so much more out of this one. Looking forward to the finale!
I love watching the grain come alive when the finish is applied ! The dresser is looking great Andy.
Another great video. I enjoyed the wall art...yes, the woodwork is amazing too but it is the wall art that makes the video real.
Best shop elves ever!
I enjoy the commentary. You did a great job on this build. Would band clamps made it easier? Our would it not given you enough clamp pressure. I’ve used them before and worked fine on my builds like that. Keep up the videos and can’t wait till you start the timber frame project. Best wishes and God bless
Dresser for the ages and looks great! Good job. Cheers from Portugal!
Looks great Andy. I'm sure that the client will be thrilled. Can't wait to see the finished piece. - Chris

Awsome build Andy!! I like the quiet videos, but the voice over is great to hear your process and problems

Thanks for sharing. That dresser is beautiful. The narrative is good, I enjoyed it.
Love the video, with you telling what’s going on, I read slowly. Love the kiddos in it also. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I love types of videos from you. Awesome work
I love this style of video! Especially for fine furniture builds. The piece looks beautiful, good job!
I can only think of what a fantastic tribute to an awesome tree. The dresser looks so so great, super old school... wow mate, you're so talented. Cheers from Buenos Aires!!!!.
Good vid Andy! I like the talk...hearing about the problems and the progress of the build really works for me. Good Job, thanks.
I really like the way this is coming together looks a lot like a baby changing table dresser I just built for my grandson
Enjoy those times your kids come to the shop. They grow up too fast. Mine did the same. What I wouldn't give to revisit those days.
You do good work, sir!
Great looking so far. As soon as I have more shop space I plan to start making larger furniture.
Andy, I really like this style. As a novice I really enjoyed your explanation of your method!
LOVE the narration! Your craftsmanship and attention to detail is superb. Looking forward to Part 2. Thanks for sharing another great video. Keep up the great work. ATB : )
I like the new style. Great-looking piece of furniture.
Sweet build Andy.
I really like the narration. It helps me understand what you're doing and why. Great video.

Masterpiece! Your video style is really cool. Your workmanship is superb!
This is an incredible thing to share. Thank you. Awesome shop too!!!!
I love this style with the voice over as I enjoy hearing about some of the mistakes and how you fixed them.....perfect!!
I like your work, but your kids are the best part of the video.
I turned on CC as soon as I saw the video. Looks great.
Great build. Can't wait to see the rest of it. I also like to finish panels before assembly. The is no way to finish the portion of the panel inside the groove. This way there will be no unfinished area showing if the panel shrinks.
Beautiful. Love the Shaker style. Simple by elegant at the same time.
that wood is awsome!! and it's a pleasure to see your, working, combining machine and hand tools.
really looking forward to see next part
Absolutely beautiful work my friend 😀
Beautiful. Show the kids, it’s nice to see how it “really” is working at home rather than a production 😊

Well this dresser is going to be around for centuries.

Wow! That’s amazing!
Unbelievable! Fantastic job 👍🏻 I’m very much looking forward to part two!
Beautiful work Andy! Your talent is inspiring.
Love the narration. Beautiful piece! I love the attention to detail everywhere but especially at the transitions.
Thanks for the narration! Hearing all of the details that went into the project really help me to appreciate it even more.... And also inspire me to put more passion into my trade
Narrated video! SO MUCH MORE INFORMATIVE!!!
nice job... looks great
Nice work, love the commentary, way preferable to hear your thoughts and work process to some random music. Those clamping issues are a problem but a longer clamp plate would help. I like to see your use of the saw stop as I am about to set up my new saw stop today.
Great work.. thanks for sharing
Great job and i love the new style of video... Paul in the UK
Great job
I loved this video. I have watched all of your videos, but this detailed, “big” build is excellent. Helps make me a better wood worker.
That is looking absolutely gorgeous. Incredible work on that so far. For clamping the angles could you have done the painters tape and super glue thing? Where you put painters tape on the angled surface and painters tape on what you cut of since that would have the same angle. Then put some super glue on the tape to hold the two pieces together and then clamp it. That way you would have square corners to have your clamps attached to. I’ve seen Mark from the wood whisper do that or suggest doing that for angled pieces.
Love this kind of video Andy, awesome work!
Sometimes you can save the cutoff piece to make a support for the clamps so that you get pressure in the correct direction.
When you have odd shape to clamp, use straps and cinch them and use a reference surface to make sure everything stays flat. I have made several large tapered post and panel chest/dresser and have had to use this method a lot.
Pumped to see this build
