I finally finished the dresser I've been working on (it's #2 of 2, built to fit in our closet). No drawer slides, just paste wax, and made pretty much entirely from plywood and glue.

The project was pretty simple, but I went for (fairly) tight tolerances (a few mm clearance), so I was grateful for having made a crosscut sled on this one.

As someone who also works in a shop that lacks climate control I recently learned than polyurethane construction adhesive is an excellent alternative to wood glue because it is able to bond correctly at much lower temperatures. It also has a longer open time if you prefer to take your time during glue ups like I do.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll look into it for some future projects. I'm sure Project Farm has a video comparing adhesive performance somewhere haha.

Also, I saw the oxytocin art you posted - it's awesome!

Hey thanks for the compliment! That project was a bear and I'm glad to have it done. Also thanks for the new YouTuber to check out, I'd never heard of Project Farm before.
