    Good job! A couple tips from a woodworker.. use a heat gun to take the stickers off, and when using pocket screws, clamp the pieces together to stop them from moving when you drive the screws in.

    Can I just say I LOVE when you say you’re not sure how to do something but you’re willing to try and figure it out anyway! I love that you’re willing to work with “less desirable” pieces which would take up just as much room at the landfill and in a shorter amount of time. They can still be gorgeous useful profitable pieces. I just snagged my first curb alert 3 drawer bureau so here goes nothin! I want to turn it into an “anything you want it to be” modern cabinet with a new base & legs. Excited!

    Back in the day, chests like this cedar one, but usually with a solid lid and not glued on tapestry, were called "hope chests". A young lady would crochet or embroider linens for the home she hoped to someday have. If she was fortunate enough, she would inherit nice linen table cloths or napkins. The bed linens were always new, and she would embroider the trimming on them. 💘

    I have a similar piece. It has the same base. Different top. It was the first ever piece of furniture I bought. It was the summer after I graduated. 1993. Lol. I’m handing it down to my daughter. I’ve planned on painting it. But a new base is a great idea! I’m a woodworker and I already have a Kroger jig. So I’m set. I’m super proud of you making your base. Awesome! I love this piece.

    Great job! Pro tips: use clamps to hold pieces to your work table before screwing them together. Once you get a hole in the piece you are screwing to, it’ll be hard to make adjustments without the screw wanting to find the old hole. Also, use a bar of soap to coat your screw threads in. It’ll make the screws go in easier.

    I was so happy when you just hammer off the top trim. That along with taking the handles off made a world of difference. I feel like you described it best, remove all the things you don't like to start. Even if you don't know what you want to do, sometimes the vision comes after that.
