What started out as a great idea quickly became a living nightmare of a project. Now, the main problem with this project was that both of the dressers were outside of my skill level of woodworking. Until this point, I had never attempted to build anything that large and to be honest I didn’t fully understand the technical side of building pieces that are able to support the amount of weight that is needed in a dresser. Looking back on this project, if I had only done one dresser at a time I would have been able to more easily fix the problems in the design and overall the project would’ve been much easier, but this project also taught me not to over-extend myself.

Now the other problem here is that I don’t know what else to share about this project other than is was a miserable experience. It took place over far too much time and my choice to condense it all into a single video turned out to be horrible for the business. The one upside to this project is that it taught me that I don’t want to do custom commissions and instead, I want to put my efforts towards learning as much as I can about woodworking and then sharing that knowledge with others.
