Let's Get Started
To reduce the risk of injury user must read instruction manuals for all tools used in this project. Wear eye and respiratory protection. Use clamps to support work piece whenever practical.
Step 1
The first step we took for our dresser is to cut the dowel pins that secured the top of the cabinet. You might find that this is required for your dresser as well. To do this, we used our Multi-Max MM20 tool equipped with the MM480 Wood Flush Cutting Blade. With your tool set to a medium to high speed make a plunge cut between the dresser top and face panel to sever each dowel pin. Once complete, remove the top and set aside to use later. Before moving onto step 2, remove & reserve the drawer fronts to attach to future cleats for false front.
Step 2
Next, secure the top you just removed to your work bench and using the Saw-Max equipped with the SM500 Wheel, cut a 2.5" strip from the back edge. From a fresh piece of melamine, cut an inner shelf you'll later secure inside of your dresser. Measure the interior dimensions of your dresser and mark your material to that size. Cut along your marked lines. At this step, you'll need to cut another piece of material to the interior dimensions of your lower drawer, then cut that piece in half. These two pieces will hold the food & water dishes into the drawer once the project is complete.
