How to make a DIY dresser.

Looking for a fun weekend project? Why not build your own dresser? With just a few tools and some basic woodworking skills, you can create a beautiful piece of furniture that will last for years. Here's what you'll need to get started:
  • 4x8 sheet of plywood
  • 1x4 boards for the frame
  • 1x6 boards for the drawer fronts
  • 1x2 boards for the trim
  • 1x2 boards for the drawer sides
  • 1/4" plywood for the drawer bottoms
  • 1 set of drawer pulls
To start, cut your plywood into four equal pieces. These will be the sides of your dresser. Then, use the 1x4 boards to create a frame around the perimeter of each piece of plywood. Next, cut your 1x6 boards into seven equal pieces. These will be your drawer fronts. Now it's time to assemble the dresser. First, attach the sides to the frame with wood glue and nails. Then, do the same with the drawer fronts. Be sure to leave about 1/4" of space between each drawer front so that they can open and close easily. Next, cut your 1x2 boards into eight equal pieces. These will be used for the trim and drawer sides. Attach them to the dresser with wood glue and nails. Finally, cut your 1/4" plywood into seven equal pieces. These will be the bottoms of your drawers. Slide them into place and you're all done! Now all you need to do is add your drawer pulls and enjoy your new #dresser!
