I so love Heywood Wakefield furniture. Where do you find abundance of used pieces? Which state I mean.

Minneapolis, Minnesota
They have a tendency to break their own rails because the drawers are heavy and maple cracks along any grain that is wavy on the interior guide rails.
So these go to thrift stores for cheap with drawers that are loose and floating around inside the dresser body.
I met someone somebody whose mother was having him buy up Heywood Wakefield and storing it in his garage because it’s really hard to find where she lives. So when I delivered a piece to this garage, it was full of Heywood Wakefield.
A dealer in a nearby suburb had a going out of business sale, so there were a couple of step tables that looked brand new!

After 1930s Heywood Wakefield used solid yellow birch.

This dresser looks like it was built by a company that makes cutting boards.
Solid maple throughout.

Wow, what wizarding trick are you using to make your shopvac so quiet?

[@theflippingidiot7705]

It’s a Festool Mini Dust Collector with the Cyclone Separator on top.
Half the noise of my Rigid Vacs from Home Depot but with greater pull I believe.
People say Festool is expensive but try running a Vac indoors for hours at a time times days/weeks/years and you will see that the quietness is gold!
