I literally yelled NOOOOO out loud when you cross cut the oak on the table saw with the fence. My wife asked what's wrong, I said, if this person keeps cutting wood like that, her next video will be with less fingers. Please, please, please, Don't do that, make a cross cut sled or even use the cheap cross cut gage that came with your saw. Now - great leg design
I didn't realize how dangerous it was until I reviewed the footage! I usually use my miter saw or circular saw with a rafter square for that type of cut, but I was in a hurry and didn't want to take out other machines. Lesson learned, I will definitely be getting a sled or building one very soon. I will not be doing that type of cut like that again! Thank you so much!
@@thecolibridesign Hi.I love ur work and a big fan.Please no offence at all...as we are thrilled to keep learning from you .Please ,since Mike Huber has pointed out a critical " how to cut safely" idea.....perhaps do an edit on ur vid ,for future viewers who are watching u to learn from.I know.....I watch a million power tools vids ,on you tube before I buy 1 and use it.Would be very sad ,if u or any of ur fans lost fingers.Please keep on teaching.U do an amazing job and just have brilliant design ideas.Thanks for sharing.
I watch a fair amount of RUclips woodworkers (I do woodwork myself), and from the cover thumbnail, I thought this was a video about building a new dresser from scratch. This was a great refurbishment and example of how you really took something that already existed and -- while not zero work -- with less work than building from scratch you showed how to really take what otherwise would be thrown away and made it like new and quite attractive. More than that, you're doing it with basic, old and not very fancy tools (what? No Festool? You can woodwork without a Festool Domino??!!!!). I really thought the video was great. I haven't looked at your other videos yet, but I'll subscribe for now....
Thank you for your kind words! I'm for sure no expert but I like sharing what I know and enjoy learning as I go. You definitely don't need anything fancy to start woodworking! (even though a Domino would be pretty cool to have 😏)
Glad I just found you! Nice job on this. I love the base/legs you designed and the green color for the dresser. It’s really wonderful to see that you are showing more than one style of base on your channel. I’d love to see even more designs from you!
Wow, what a transformation! I love the new legs, love them. And the transition between the green of the cabinet and wood legs really sets the piece off. Fantastic work :) I am really into woodworking and have always wanted to remake distressed/run down furniture, but I never see pieces that would even be able to be remade. I see mostly particle board junk. Or they are "antiques" and pricey.
Thank you so much! I’ve had luck on FBMP with finding old (cheaper end) MCM pieces like this but it is very difficult to find solid wood furniture for sure!
This is great! I've been wanting to add similar legs to a vintage RCA stereo console that someone put pin legs on, so this really gives me an idea of what's involved. Thanks!
Great video and editing and superior design! My first thought also was an OMG look how she cross cut on the tablesaw. But I see you understand now. It would have been even a bit safer to have the wide piece against the fence so the narrow piece cannot bind. There are some great videos of slow motion kickback on RUclips. Katz-Moses has one of the best.
@@thecolibridesign P.S., looking forward to more of your videos. I'm putting your base on my list of to dos. Unfortunately, that's a rather long list, but at least you're on it. 😋
Yes, get one! The possibilities are endless. I have the Skils portable table saw and they are going for around $269 on Amazon right now. I would say it's a great starter before investing in a better one.
Turned out great! You have a great eye for design and some pretty good shop chops, too. You might consider a simple sled for cross cuts like the one at 6:33. Looking forward to watching you on your journey!
That first curvey ruler is actually called a French curve. I used one extensively in engineering school…mostly to stir pitchers of Kamikazes‼️ Somehow they tasted better when stirred with a French curve⁉️ Great job! The thing I love about woodworking is there is no one way to do anything.
How cool! Thank you, I just purchased a random assortment of measuring rulers and can’t remember any of their names 😂 but yes I agree! There is no one way to build ANYTHING!
Seriously...u are that good.Please do more shorts and tick toks.U need more subscribers.I wish u lived nearby...as I would bring u loads of ladies to give classes to.U are seriously that good.U have inspired me to buy more saws.🤣🤣U don't want to see me use a chop saw.I first contemplate...then I unplug it...go over the whole motion and then syke myself up...and then do the cut.Why am I so afraid of it.Its seriously hilarious to watch me.However ..u made it look so simple to do.
Beautiful leg design!! You have a really great eye for proportions and lines. You might want to replace your roundover bit. It seems a bit dull and is leaving a lot of burning on the wood.
Fansastic result, you've got one more subscriber. I don't have a table saw but AIUI you shouldn't do a cut like you did at 6:34, it's too easy for the wood to skew slightly and get caught on the back of the blade which will throw it back at you. I think you should be using a mitre guage or cross cut sled. PLease take this in the spirit it's intended and keep safe.
Thank you! Oh yeah, I knew that was a dangerous cut to do! I was too lazy to take out my miter saw and thought to myself, “Well it's just one cut” 🫣 luckily nothing bad happened but yes, I agree with you. I probably should build a sled soon!
Oh, I get that! Oak on its own is beautiful and quite cheap! Which is why I think people opt to use Oak. For its beauty, strength, cost, and that it accepts stains so effortlessly. If only other wood species were as cheap as red oak!

@@vyvyienewalser6798 No offense taken! I don't think I can edit the video after uploading it but I will add a note on the description.
I love the base I will have to try this thanks for sharing
Thank you, you got this!
Fantastic job, Kai! Thanks for showing us it’s possible to actually do this! 🙌
Thank you! You can do it and I hope you get a chance to recreate this in the near future!
Great job~!! That base really changes the piece.
Thank you so much! 🤎
Great job! That a amazing design
Thank you so much! 🤎

Beautiful work. Thank you for teaching us skills to add to our projects. Loved the color too.
Thank you! I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed the video! 🤎
Fun transformation! Careful on that free hand crosscut on the table saw, it can pinch and kick back!
Thank you! I really need to purchase or build myself a sled, huh? 😂
Girl that looks great thanks for sharing
Thank you, happy to hear that you enjoyed the video!
Glad I just found you! Nice job on this. I love the base/legs you designed and the green color for the dresser. It’s really wonderful to see that you are showing more than one style of base on your channel. I’d love to see even more designs from you!
Thank you so much and I'm happy to hear that you enjoy the different designs! 🤎
This is awesome! Love watching your base builds
Thanks so much, Holly! Glad you enjoy it!

You can do it! I bet it will look amazing with a new base instead of the legs!
Great job girl!!! Way to go,!!!

Subscribed!!! You’ve inspired me to finally bite the bullet and get a table saw
Yes, get one! The possibilities are endless. I have the Skils portable table saw and they are going for around $269 on Amazon right now. I would say it's a great starter before investing in a better one.
Turned out great! You have a great eye for design and some pretty good shop chops, too. You might consider a simple sled for cross cuts like the one at 6:33. Looking forward to watching you on your journey!
Thank you, and thanks for the tip! I really should build myself a sled. Looking back at it, that cut was a bit dangerous to do.
Awesome job!
Thank you so much!
Beautiful 😍
Thank you! 😊
looks awesome!

Why have u not got more subscribers?.... u are that brilliant for a lady carpenter.
You are too kind 😊
Seriously...u are that good.Please do more shorts and tick toks.U need more subscribers.I wish u lived nearby...as I would bring u loads of ladies to give classes to.U are seriously that good.U have inspired me to buy more saws.🤣🤣U don't want to see me use a chop saw.I first contemplate...then I unplug it...go over the whole motion and then syke myself up...and then do the cut.Why am I so afraid of it.Its seriously hilarious to watch me.However ..u made it look so simple to do.
@@vyvyienewalser6798 Lol you can do it! Just take it easy and do one step at a time. RUclips helped a ton when I first started.
Love it❤

Beautiful leg design!! You have a really great eye for proportions and lines. You might want to replace your roundover bit. It seems a bit dull and is leaving a lot of burning on the wood.
Thank you! I probably should, huh? I will put it on the list of items to purchase!
I love it!
Thank you, happy to hear that! 🤎
Wish u were nearby ,to take some classes from you.
Fansastic result, you've got one more subscriber.

I honestly " cringe" ,when I hear the word stain.Wood in as natural a colour to its original ,looks so amazing.Prefer the wood in light cols.
Oh, I get that! Oak on its own is beautiful and quite cheap! Which is why I think people opt to use Oak. For its beauty, strength, cost, and that it accepts stains so effortlessly. If only other wood species were as cheap as red oak!
I am now a subscriber....and I seriously don't sub to much.But u convinced me...coz u are that brilliant.Strength to u.U inspire.
@@vyvyienewalser6798 Thank you for your support! That means a lot to me!
You didn’t really make the lints did you.
Lints? Not quite sure what you are talking about or referring to. If it has to do with the base, then yes, I 100% built it.
Dangerous cuts lady
Thank you, trust me I will not be doing a cross-cut like that again! I’m planning on purchasing or building a sled very soon.
@@thecolibridesign thats great to hear, be safe
