Hi Gretchen. Now that's ambitious! Decide how big you want the chest. Do all your calculations before you begin. Then buy or rent the proper tools. Tool list:
Hammer and/or screw driver or nail gun
Sand paper, manual or electric sander
Clamps for holding wood together
Hand wood saw or electric circular saw or miter saw
Then of course you'll need nails or screws and wood glue and metal drawer runners.
Now it's just a matter of making a series of boxes: a big one for the chest, a smaller one without a top or bottom for the toe kick and the ones for the drawers. I suggest you mark out and install the runners on the dresser side walls and on the sides of the drawers before assembling. It makes it so much easier. Happy DIY'ing!
