Jay, absolutely spot on as always!! The ebonizing worked brilliantly and your care of these vintage pieces of furniture is what I love about your channel. Great job 😀👍
I love Eme and Hugo. I have 3 cats, and I do electronics at my bench or work on computer. They all spend time nearby. One cat of the 3 I adopted when he was 7 weeks old. For 9 years he’s been my bench buddy. Cats often are work helpers, and your two fluffy friends are prime examples. ❤
While your restoration skills are quite evident, without peers. Do you ever see a time when you'll design and create custom furniture? That also, would be fun to watch. Well done Sir.👍
Your restorations come out so perfect every time!... But then you have a kitty helping you just like I do with my art... We are both perfectionists... I love it...
Another stunning job and the steel wool trick paid off the colour looks amazing and the grain comes to life. I have a good feeling you’ll clock 100 k in the not to distant future. Your content and editing is so on point and your so therapeutic to watch its addictive
Unbelievable difference. It's beautiful. So excited to see your and David's collaboration. I just love both of your channels. You both are such craftsmen.
Jay, welcome to the retired r.n. group. I've been here for 10 years! I learned so much from you my friend, and thank you for that. I swear you can make a heap turn into a diamond. Simply gorgeous 😍
Very nice! I really like that cabinet handle. It looks like a huge upgrade compared to the "before" picture. Jay one thing that I really like is that you sand all of the surfaces and that you condition the inside of the furniture as well. Old furniture needs that kind of protection.
Folks, if you are reading this comment and enjoyed this video, please subscribe if you haven't already, It costs nothing, but is very helpful to the creator. His finished projects are always stunning. Jay takes his time to make sure the whole piece is clean and restored. And you get to see a fluffy cat to boot. 😄 Jay, I loved learning how you made the stain and how it reacted to the wood. I would cherish this piece if I owned it. Thanks for always sharing your talent with us. 💕
Amazing! I’m fascinated by your talents. Such a gift to see the potential in discarded items and to bring them back better than before! Keep up the great work!
I like how the light plays on the grain of the wood and veneer. I love the way you manipulate the colors of the doors allowing the wood to choose the color. You are creative and gifted to see the end product from the beginning project. Amazes me every time how you see the beauty of these projects. Teaches me to look at things around me in an eye of beauty
Amazing process. The final result is beautiful. I love how you practically deconstruct a piece and make sure every inch is refinished. So professional! ❤
As always I love the results. It's amazing how you are able to turn thought to idea and pivot if it doesn't work for the piece. And I love that you have such an attention to details
Love the knowledge and out of the box problem solving unconventional experiments with woodworking I’m calling you Professor Carol Flippingdrawers. I’d flip a drawer for you too. I was too scared to work and repair a lovely antique dresser. With the knowledge I’ve learned from only watching you since June 2024, I’m a braver woman repairing and squaring up old furniture. I’m in my late 60’s in a wheelchair feeling so empowered by watching your work. Please don’t feel weird about my flippant remark; laugh at myself, daily for all the dumb and happy accidents with art and love of renewing old and well loved and well rugged accidents. It’s so lovely to watch your work, giving your TH-cam channel free advertisement to everyone I know. People love me and love you too.
How clever! This is a wonderful transformation and something kept out of landfill. I hope that you get a lot for it if you are going to sell it. Dave is a great guy and a superb craftsman like you. His dog Daisy is gaining celebrity status, is gorgeous and a real character who, due to public demand, has her own slot on the vlogs.
What I like the most about your restorations is the very good taste in choosing color combinations, materials and shapes in the hardware. Another level is what is see here, my friend!!!
Some absolutely amazing techniques & ideas showcased in this restoration Jay. Your love of old furniture shows through time after time & with your care & dedication old, worn furniture becomes as new & usable for many years to come. Great video again my friend, cheers, Don from South Aust.
The color change is very dramatic and really brings out the appeal of this old desk. It almost looks like an old telephone desk, all it needs is a matching chair. Thanks for sharing.
I watched this one in total amazement. I had no idea you could dissolve steel wool in vinegar and make a stain. And then watching it turn color as you were filming. That piece turned out stunning. I watch so many videos on wood working, but you, Jay at Mayfield Restorations, and Barry at madcitymodern are my favorite. Keep up the good videos.
Hello, I finally took the time to subscribe although I've been a fan for over a year. I love the vintage antiques you bring back to life and/or restore. Your new work space is amazing and seeing all your new tools clearly speaks to your dedication to your craft. KEEP ON! I'm also big fan of Dave & Daisey and can't wait to see your collaboration. Side Bar: love seeing you love on the sweet little kitty cat from next door
I found your channel by chance and i am half way through your watch list.All i can say is your a wizard,your attention to detail is far superior than a lot of other restorers mutch respect to you sir subscribed and looking forward to watching more of your wizardry.
Oh, very nice job! I've seen the vinegar/steel wool thing done and I must try it! By the way, your beautiful kitty friend thinks that 'cuddles' are tasty treats ;)
Always love your attention to detail. I've never heard of that wood dye technique, it turned out stunning. Another Flipping Drawers original work of art ❤
The original maker would be so thrilled to see how you have taken the cupboard to a new and very elegant level. I loved the gold Ginko Balboa leaf hanging handle. It was perfect. You inspired to find similar gold Ginko Balboa handles on Amazon - so thank you
Oh my word, I’ve never seen such a technique and I love it! It’s almost shou sugi ban. You’ve out done yourself with this one, it’s truly amazing. Possibly my favourite of your restorations. Oh and Next Door Kitty is super cute.
Hey Jay, that turned out beautifully as usual! In the States, I've heard that stain solution referred to as Vinegaroon or Vinegar Black Stain/Dye. It's really neat and cheap to make. I used it on different types of wood with varying colors produced based on species. It also works on veg tan leather by turning the piece black. Just thought you might want to know... Keep up the good work!
Your shop/workroom is looking really good! Too bad about the first try on the top, it would have been really pretty if you couldn’t see the lines😢. But it came out beautifully!❤
I love the surprise element of the ebonized wood. Making that dye was fascinating. The hardware is beautiful. The sharp contrast of the gold Ginko leaf pull is lovely. You always do high quality work.
I’m never disappointed in what you’ll be doing next. What amazes me at how you do a piece different from each one. This sweet side cabinet turned out beautiful n I love that piece that pulls out. I’m so happy that you gave up your job n put your great talent first. You do wonderful work. The fluffy kitty loves you cuz you keep feeding it. LOL ♥️😊👍🌟🌟
I have to agree with you! If we never made mistakes, we would never learn anything! I'm glad you show everything as it will help others if they get stuck with a similar situation! You're videos are fantastic exactly as they are! Thank you for sharing them with us( me)!
Such an amazing transformation! Love the color of the wood it looks so regal!! Isn’t chemistry fascinating who would have thunk it would have such a dramatic effect and looks so good! Thanks again for the video, very much worth watching!
I think I may try the steel wool trick on the drop leaf I’m refinishing. You’ve inspired me to do a lot more that I originally planned. Thank you, I’m addicted to your channel!
OMG, you are an alchemist, it was magic watching the wood change its character. You have created a masterpiece, i hope you are richly rewarded for your skill. Looking forward to your next piece of wizardry. Have a great week.
Jay, absolutely spot on as always!! The ebonizing worked brilliantly and your care of these vintage pieces of furniture is what I love about your channel. Great job 😀👍
Thanks David 😉 This was a fun project
Can't wait to see you both work together, love both your channels!
I hope that your collaboration will be available for us to view. Two superb craftsman working together would make special viewing.
Very creative, love you work!
Put it on fast forward x2
Do not shorten you videos. I like seeing how you make it work beautifully
Glad to see you're looking after the supervisor 💛
Always!
Pay day, pay day every day. 🐈🍗🥛
I love how you say, "Trust the process." Your work is stunning!
Yes do not shorten them. I love watching every step. I have learned so much from you
That ginkgo-leaf pull is perfection.
Loved the repair and color change. Loved seeing cat come by. God bless.
Thank you!
Please do not shorten your videos. I like seeing as much of the process as possible. Thank you for sharing your projects.
Thank you 😊 it’s a bit complicated but I appreciate it.

I would say very much a furniture trendsetter he is
Lol thank you 🙏
It always makes me so happy to see your fluffy shop helper drop by to supervise! 🥰
Me too!! Thanks for watching 😊
The way to a cat's heart is through her stomach. 😻
@@ValleyOakPaper When translated, her adorable meows mean, "Human! Feed me and give me pets! NOW!" 😂
Jay - I bet she spends more time with you because you have better treats. :-D Cats are like that.

Absolutely stunning. You saved a piece that was ready for the skip and made it into a beautiful piece of high end furniture. Fantastic job.
Thanks so much 😊
Don't know if you will ever read this... but this piece turned out GORGEOUS! I did NOT expect it to look that amazing.
VERY well done!!!
I do try to read as many comments as I can, It is not easy I admit. thank you kindly .
Your restorations come out so perfect every time!... But then you have a kitty helping you just like I do with my art... We are both perfectionists... I love it...
Wow! Quite a difference. I'm very excited to see you work with David. I think the kitty visits so much cause you give her such a lot of treats! 🐈❤️
Lol, she does like cuddles too 😉
They know when people really like them
The lighter gold accent put it over the top! It made it so much more interesting! Brilliant!
Another stunning job and the steel wool trick paid off the colour looks amazing and the grain comes to life. I have a good feeling you’ll clock 100 k in the not to distant future. Your content and editing is so on point and your so therapeutic to watch its addictive
Hey Bradley, I think you’re right 😉 exciting times. Thanks for watching and as always, appreciate your kind words.
Gorgeous! Love the ginkgo leaf pull and the feet....just stunning!
Thank you so much!
Your artistry and skill never cease to please and amaze me!
Thanks for watching 👍
Very interesting dye technique. I had never heard of that before. So good to see this beauty rescued from the trash. Hope you have a great week.
Thank you! You too!
Unbelievable difference. It's beautiful. So excited to see your and David's collaboration. I just love both of your channels. You both are such craftsmen.
Thank you so much! No pressure 😂
Again you have brought your skills to a new level of professionalism in your career of making and fixing old furnitures.
Jay, welcome to the retired r.n. group. I've been here for 10 years! I learned so much from you my friend, and thank you for that. I swear you can make a heap turn into a diamond. Simply gorgeous 😍
Awesome! Thank you! And thank you so much for the coffee 🥰
That's really beautiful. Love the black with brown blend. Good choice. 🐈🐈🐱🐱 🐈🐈

Dang. Looks 100% better than originally from factory 😳😍 I love the idea of soaking steel wool in vinegar. Can’t wait to try that. Very cool.

Awesome 🤩
Wow! That really turned out beautiful. Love the journey you take us on each week. ❤
My pleasure 😇
You are one of the few restorers that finish the inside. You do wonderful work.
As always I love the results. It's amazing how you are able to turn thought to idea and pivot if it doesn't work for the piece. And I love that you have such an attention to details
Thank you very much!
I like the sped up sanding sound 🔊! I get so much help for my "projects" from you Jay! Thank you! 😊
Happy to help! Thanks ☺️
Wow! Once again you hit it out of the ballpark! I love the feet and the pull too.
Yay, thank you!

That pull out shelf, perfect for resting your book on ❤
Love your work - thank you for giving us a clear view the steps 🎉
My pleasure 😊
I LOVE how this piece ended up looking. You kept the beauty of the antique yet brought it forward with the beautiful colors.
Absolutely beautiful! Never knew the trick with the Steele wool. I'll be remembering that one. Good job!!!!
Thank you 😊
Surprisingly elegant! Who would have thought? Very interesting about the steel wool. You do have an eye for sophistication, Jay. BRAVO! ♥
Oh, very nice job! I've seen the vinegar/steel wool thing done and I must try it! By the way, your beautiful kitty friend thinks that 'cuddles' are tasty treats ;)
She’s definitely here for the snacks 😂 but actually loves to be petted and sleeps on my bed 😂
So awe-inspiring as usual. Smart kitty, he knows where to find his cuddles and ear scratches, lol. And his food!
🥰 very kind. Thank you
Always love your attention to detail. I've never heard of that wood dye technique, it turned out stunning. Another Flipping Drawers original work of art ❤
Awesome! Thank you! Wish I could take credit but it’s actually a very old technique
The original maker would be so thrilled to see how you have taken the cupboard to a new and very elegant level. I loved the gold Ginko Balboa leaf hanging handle. It was perfect. You inspired to find similar gold Ginko Balboa handles on Amazon - so thank you
Thank you so much! Just added a link to my Amazon store list with all these handles and other things I use 😉
Wow!! If I could I sure would buy this. Exceptional❤ your redos are sooo beautiful 👍♥️
Thank you so much!❤️
You are one of very few that actually restore the whole piece. Many just worry about what they can see. Your work is impeccable
Thanks 😊
Oh my word, I’ve never seen such a technique and I love it! It’s almost shou sugi ban. You’ve out done yourself with this one, it’s truly amazing. Possibly my favourite of your restorations. Oh and Next Door Kitty is super cute.
Wow, thank you! Glad you enjoyed it ❤️
Proper that your fuzzy friend gets snacks and snuggles❤ they bring a touch a flair to the show🎉
I agree. 😻
Well, you nailed high end! That is a spectacular piece!

Didn’t know the name but yes. You can also use tea on wood that doesn’t have much tannins before hand so it gives you a darker colour 😉
I adore that gingko leaf pull! It's those kind of details that make your projects special.
Awesome 🤩
Your shop/workroom is looking really good!
Too bad about the first try on the top, it would have been really pretty if you couldn’t see the lines😢.
But it came out beautifully!❤
It was a very cheap off cut I bought that was badly chipped. I tried 💁🏻♂️
Very dramatic, specially the Ginko Bilova leaf as a door opener, a detail of the tertiary (cenozoic) era, beautiful!
I had to say WOW on this one! It turned out amazingly beautiful.
Thank you ☺️
You saved another life with your knowledge and talent, Well done.
I’m in love with this one! The wedding is in December. Every one is invited!
I love the surprise element of the ebonized wood. Making that dye was fascinating. The hardware is beautiful. The sharp contrast of the gold Ginko leaf pull is lovely. You always do high quality work.
Glad you liked it!
Congratulations on this being your only job. Thank you for your videos. I learn so much from you.❤

Thanks Tom. Much appreciated 👍
Even when I find your taste and choices somewhat different from my own I enjoy your artistry and craftsmanship and the care you take with every piece!
I LOVE your extremely careful attention to details!!!!!
What a gorgeous result. I wasn't crazy about the dark finish at first, but the more I look at it the more I like it.
Awesome 🤩 thanks
The skills and the cuteness goes together really well, great vid. thank you.
WOW!! What a beautiful, sensitive restoration and transformation!
Thank you! Cheers!
Gorgeous! The handle was exceptionally beautiful; looked really nice with such a delicate handle on an otherwise "masculine" piece. Love it!
Glad you liked it!🥰
That was a great result! Excellent idea with the vinegar and steel wool.
Such an amazing transformation! Love the color of the wood it looks so regal!! Isn’t chemistry fascinating who would have thunk it would have such a dramatic effect and looks so good! Thanks again for the video, very much worth watching!
Glad you like it!! 😊
Absolutely beautiful
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful! Thank you for showing all the different steps. I dont mind watching the full video!
The way the iron reacts to the vinegar always amazes me when put on wood. Very unique!
Right?!😉
Very beautifully done!!!
It must be a very satisfying feeling to restore old and/or damaged furniture.
Good luck. God bless. ❤️❤️❤️
I think I may try the steel wool trick on the drop leaf I’m refinishing. You’ve inspired me to do a lot more that I originally planned. Thank you, I’m addicted to your channel!
OMG, you are an alchemist, it was magic watching the wood change its character. You have created a masterpiece, i hope you are richly rewarded for your skill. Looking forward to your next piece of wizardry. Have a great week.
