Very nice, you did a great job. It will do the job for you. I especially like the "old dresser at the curb," lol.
Reduce, reuse, recycle, save money!
It looks like the upscaled dresser is made of hardwood, but you may want to seal it with something so it lasts a little longer.
Thanks for sharing your build with us.

Veneer, unfortunately.....I used urethane on the base and the sides to seal it.

Metal is a good material to work with, but it rusts. Have some fiberglass square tubing and sheets, but nothing large enough. Plastics? Hampered by the limitations of the material I have on hand, lol.

Did you use a 2 speed motor in your build? Somethings just like a slow speed polish.

Nicely done, what polishing compounds will you be running?
