Finished a long-standing dresser build (#2 of 2)
(lemmy.world)
I finally finished the dresser I've been working on (it's #2 of 2, built to fit in our closet). No drawer slides, just paste wax, and made pretty much entirely from plywood and glue.
The project was pretty simple, but I went for (fairly) tight tolerances (a few mm clearance), so I was grateful for having made a crosscut sled on this one.
Woah! I love this, it looks great.
I don't have a ton to offer since I'm a complete novice, but I think you did a great job!
Thanks! I definitely still feel like a novice, too. It's definitely more about the process and making stuff that's "mine" than getting it perfect. I actually have a few (minor) screwups on this one that I'll always notice, but whatever. It beats Ikea!
Not to actually throw shade at Ikea though... some of their stuff is a great deal haha.
