Cara Newhart's videos are thorough and explain everything in detail except for the parts borrowed from Shanty 2 Chic. She begins by cutting her “legs” out of the dresser. She may seem reckless, but it's almost mandatory. The top of a typical miter saw placed on a stand is about 36 inches off the floor, while the average dresser's height is between 30 and 35 inches. Given that Newhart plans to add 4 inches to her casters, plywood top, and saw base height, it's almost impossible for her to reach the 36-inch mark without starting with an unusually short dresser. Is possible. She adds support by attaching locking casters in place of her feet. That includes casters in the center of the dresser to prevent sagging. From here, she builds a plywood top, trims it with mitered pine boards, and moves on to the table and fence extensions. She talks back.
She adds a book and magazine rack to one end of the station and gold handles to the other end. She painted with her homemade chalk she paint (you can make your own chalk she paint by just adding baking soda to flat latex she paint) and attached the drawer handles to finish the Work on the hardware for her bowl, which is a cute decoration. In the cavity created by the table extension, she slides a painted porcelain bowl with a drawer. This is an interesting choice for a workshop and speaks to Newhart's obsession with cuteness.
