- What’s up peeps! Today is finally the day I’ve been promising and you’ve been waiting for. I’m doing a restoration of this 6 drawer solid maple dresser from Crawford Furniture. I’m Jenn, this is Copper Cactus DIY. Welcome to the party!
This is my first commissioned dresser and I can’t wait to share all the bumps and hiccups I experienced along the way. Because, she may have started out super rough but, the final result is sooo worth every minute I spent fixing her up!

Hey peeps! A few people have mentioned it so I probably should've mentioned in the video about the stain. Faux Effects is a bonding product, it doesn't penetrate the surface the same way as traditional stains. I sanded the wood to smooth because it's better not to sand large areas of the stain if possible once it's dry. Sanding can break down the pigments and the bond if it's not done correctly.👩🎨🥰
Great turn out. Really is beautiful and clever ways to fix those corners. It cracks me up how you sound like a news reporter. Never boring for sure.
Well that's a new one I've never heard before 😆 Thanks so much, this was challenging but so satisfying to complete!
I didn't mean it in a bad way. It's very entertaining 😄
by eck , what a belter ! I think this is my favourite one of your restos.
Thank you so much! This one challenged me but I'm proud of the finished piece!
You're so cute! I always love your narrating, Jenn! ~Dani
Aw you're the best, Dani! 🥰
Wow Jen I'm in awe....Super beautiful...well done my friend 🥰👍❣️.....Loving that AZ Hat 😂❣️❣️❣️❣️
I told you I was going team hat for sure 😆 in between hair is my nemesis right now! Thank you bunches, Debra! I appreciate the compliment so much my friend! 🥰🥰🥰
@@CopperCactusDIY absolutely my dear friend 🥰❣️
You did an awesome job. Great Restoration
I appreciate that, thanks so much!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂I'm cracking Up at the KILL the mosquitoes and the Dance Break as My Hips was Moving With Your dance😂😂😂❣️👍❣️
Yeah those little vampires are not welcome in my workshop 😆🤣 💃🥰
WOW!! She turned out GORGEOUS!! Especially all the different types of damage you had to repair. Extremely impressed with your woodworking skills, like repairing the corner using wooden dowels (the toothpicks) and cutting a piece of wood vs shaping epoxy wood filler. I’ve watched some of these pro woodworkers (like with equipment in their shop that costs as much as my house) use these skills and you were spot on with your technique. Especially having a detailed edge on that drawer front! You mentioned you had some areas that stained darker in some areas. I had the same issue on a piece and it was bc I sanded higher than 220. I found out (by reaching out to some furniture restorers) that sanding anything over a 220 grit makes it hard for the wood to “accept the stain” bc the wood fibers are too closed up (Angie at Transcend Furniture Gallery was a huge help in this). I know this was a lot of time consuming work, but the end result was so worth it!💜
Ashley you're so very kind! Thank you so much! 🥰🥰🥰 I did have a long call with my dad to work out doing that corner with the dowels. That absolutely terrified me until the holes were drilled and toothpicks fit! Thankfully maple is a hard wood so even that thin area didn't split 😓 A few people have mentioned it so I probably should've mentioned in the video about the stain. Faux Effects is a bonding product, it doesn't penetrate the surface the same as traditional stains. I sanded the wood to smooth because it's better not to sand large areas of the stain if possible once it's dry. Sanding can break down the pigments and the bond if it's not done correctly. Hmm, gets me thinking, maybe I should do a whole video on various stain sometime? 🤔 Thanks again so much!
@@CopperCactusDIY gotcha re Faux Effects. I thought it was more like a gel stain, which while it sits on top of the wood, it does penetrate the first layer. Vs liquid oil or solvent based stains, that does penetrate. A video on different stains would be a great idea! Even using different types of wood, when to use a pre-stain wood conditioner, etc. I’m a gel stain person myself and was terrified to use it the first time, until I realized how easy it was to use.
Always great to have someone to call on (like your dad). My husband does woodworking as a hobby, so he’s my go to when I need help. Now if I can just get him to keep his saw dust off my stuff in the garage…🤪.
@@ashleyosborne6239 ah, the impossible dream - sawdust free workshop! 🤣😂
@@CopperCactusDIY true! I bought a really nice 6hp shop vac (plus it has a vacuum bag in it) to connect to my new Surf Prep and told him “hands off buddy”.🤣 Seriously though, I made sure we could connect it to his table saw and router, but it isn’t to be used for anything else (like vacuuming the stuff off the garage floor, that’s what the old shop vac is for😁).
Beautiful 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼🍀🍀🍀❤️🛐🇺🇸
That means a lot, thanks so much! 🥰
Nice!
Thank you!
Wow!! You brought that dresser back to life! That's a beauty! Loved how you created the corner piece you needed.
Thanks so much, Veronica! 🥰 I need to give some credit to my dad for the help on that repair. It had me stumped for a couple of days!
Your restoration is lovely! I have a vintage (antique maybe) Crawford maple dresser and what I really like about it is the finish color. A restoration is kind of a trade off: the piece loses that original luster but becomes a gorgeous new creation. For now, I’ll try to figure out how to clean it up and maybe someday consider a full resto. You are very talented at your crafts (furniture refinishing and entertaining and helpful TH-cam videos)!
That's so nice of you, thanks so much! 🥰 You'll have to stop by and let me know if you ever do decide to restore. Sometimes the original piece is just in such disrepair it's necessary to give the refresh to save the wood. This one never would've worked to try to color match with the original cherry. My client was thrilled and that's the thing that matters most to me!
@@CopperCactusDIY Yes, a happy client is the desired end result! And speaking of repairs, it was amazing what you were able to do!
Wow! That’s a huge improvement! The corner hack is genius and I have a drawer on a maple dresser that is broken off exactly like that. Now I know how to fix it. My experience when sanding wood I am staining is to only go as high as 220 grit. The wood doesn’t take stain well when I go above that. Maybe the grain is closed? Idk. I do dance breaks all day! I am a big fan of dance breaks! This was a really informative video and I’m glad you kept so much info in.🌸
For sure, Deborah, that's usually what I'd do with a penetrating wood stain like oil and some gel stains. This brand is a bit different in the formulation so I don't like to sand over large areas unless absolutely necessary. It has more bonding properties once cured if that makes sense, it doesn't really raise the grain. Ahhh so glad you can fix your corner now! That rocks! And yesss! Love that you're a dance break fan too 💃 gotta stay loose with all the weird positions we have to paint in lol. Thanks so much! 🥰
@@CopperCactusDIY 👍🏻💖
Great restoration of this old girl. I like attention to the details. I am going follow you. I have a couple of pieces that I want to do when we have warmer weather. 28:15
Thanks so much for hanging out, Mark. I'm by no means teaching anyone how to do stuff, usually I act as a warning to others lol. Wishing you all the best on your restorations this spring!
You are extraordinarily good at repairs. Detail oriented and meticulous. Hat's to you. The final is classy and timeless. Congrats!
I'm definitely a person who strives for perfection on pieces like this. Thank you so much for saying that, it means a lot 🥰
Beautiful. Maple is one of my favorite woods. I love seeing how different people restore "broken" areas. It looks amazing.
Mine too, along with walnut. So many gorgeous varieties. I appreciate that, thanks so much!!
So beautiful! You have major skills. Your client is going to love ❤️ it.
So glad the tub of stain didn't fall! Nice save.
All the breath escaped my lungs the moment that happened! I can laugh now but at the time all I could think was, well, I almost had to start on the side lol. Thank you so much! 🥰
So much work and so well worth it. Bravo 👏🏼 for staying with it. Looks beautiful now.
I really appreciate that! Thank you so much! 🥰
Wow, the work on that one was incredible. Great trick with the picks. You brought it back around for another chance at life, solid wood is always a plus. Great job!
Yes, solid wood is so great! No worries on sanding through veneer is a good day. Thank you so much, I learned a lot on this project!
A true restoration. Excellent work on the drawer edge! Beaytiful. Thanks for sharing.
This one put me through all the paces! That means so much, thank you! 😊
@Copper Cactus DIY You do all the work and we can learn the tips!
I love the new hardware. And so much repair! Gorgeous 💖
Thanks so much! 🥰 Yeah that hardware was a nice find, much simpler and yet still classic.
All the work was worth it. ❤️ Absolutely stunning. Love the dancing too, keep it up 😀🙌🏼
Thank youuuuu so much, Tarnya! She put me through the wringer at times but the end result makes it all worth it! 🥰💃
Wowza!! That was a lot of work but the end result is so beautiful! Thanks for taking us along on this journey. The corner hack is brilliant. Great job!
It was a lot of work but so worth learning new skills! I'm so happy I got to be the one who brought this dresser back to life. Never used so many toothpicks in my life lol. Thanks! 🥰
Maple always needs a pre-stain conditioner as it receives stain in very blotchy patterns. If you had used this, you wouldn't have had so much work to do getting the stain to look good. However, in the end, you got there. It's beautiful ❣️
Thank you, I appreciate that you enjoyed the end result. However, this particular brand of stain (Faux Effects Stain and Seal) will not function properly over a pre-stain wood conditioner, regardless of wood type. The formula doesn't penetrate, it bonds. It would bond with the pre-stain and eventually peel off the surface. This is why it's important to understand the particular product as well as the substrate it requires to be successful.
😲😍🤩👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you so much! 🥰
Wow, major kudos for this transformation! Love the final result. Hope your client was pleased! Enjoyed the dance breaks, too! xoxo
Thank youuuuu! Yep, my client was very happy and that makes me happier than anything! Lots of learning, this project was a great experience. Dancing must ensue! 🥰
Wow!!!! Beautiful job, Jenn! Love your corner fix. It came out amazing and using toothpicks for biscuit joinery? Genius! And of course, how can we not mention your finger nail polish and your outtakes? Fabulous video!!!! 🔥🔥🔥
That corner fix was a joint effort between me and my dad! He said he didn't want me to mention it in the video but we talked out the logistics for a long time. I was super nervous but so glad it worked! This one took so long, I went through 4 manicures 🤣 Thanks ladies! 🥰🥰🥰
I’ve never seen toothpicks used for a repair like that. Genius!
Thanks so much, Jeanie! They're like tiny dowels.
Your skills are growing like mad, Jenn!!! Those corners! And I almost had a heart attack in your bloopers almost seeing the bucket tumble.
I have to thank my dad for the help on the corners. He didn't want a mention in the video but we talked it out for a while and came up with the solution together! 💃 Omg right? I stopped breathing for like a full minute lol. Thank youuuuu Taryn! 🥰
Dads are the best for that! And I love me a good repair video so thanks for this one- Repairs are one of my favorite parts.
Thanks for watching my friend!!
Rule #1. No dancing with stain in your hand. Rule #2. No dancing around any stain. Rule #3. If you must dance, see rules #1 and #2 .🤣🤣🤣 Ok, seriously Jenn, that came out spectacular! Great job!❤
Sir, yes Sir!! See, I knew I was forgetting to ask someone about the rules. Stain down THEN dancing! 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks so much! 🥰
It's so nice to see a handmade solid wood piece like that get the second (or third....who knows?) chance it deserves! Turned out fantastic! Glad you didn't spill the tub of stain.......looked dicey! LOL
Totally agree! I never want to see a good wood piece like this go. It took a lot of time and effort but way less time than it would take to break down in a landfill! And I'm just psyched my client is psyched. I know right? Couldn't believe my stain tried to betray me like that lol. Thanks so much! 🥰
That dresser looks amazing! You did an awesome job and looks like you put a lot of time and love (and dancing) into it! As others have mentioned, glad you caught that tub of stain…. :)
The video was great as well. And love that you include bloopers. :)
For dust collection, I use a Duststopper. It seems to work well and saves my vacuum from needing to be emptied as much and also saves the filter/bags from a lot of the fine dust. It is also super affordable. Let me know if you want to try one out!
Thanks for the tip on dust collection. I'll definitely look into that! Affordable and vac saving are 2 of my favorite things! Thank you so much, 🥰 this was an awesome project! I swear my heart stopped for a hot minute when that stain almost went over lol.
Great job! Lots of work. I’m about to restore a 1920’s sewing cabinet that needs lots of gluing. 😆 I love the tone of the wood stain you used but I think it might be do opaque for me. If you water it down does it show more of the wood grain?
Stain and Seal is an interesting formula. It can be watered down slightly but shouldn't be cut more than about 10%. It's not really a gel stain and won't penetrate the surface, instead it bonds. But you never lose pigment so the opacity might still be a problem even with multiple light layers. Thanks so much, and good luck!
I would have applied wood conditioner first to allow the stain to adhere evenly.
For oil based stains and some gel stains that's true. Faux Effects formula will not perform correctly over wood conditioner.
Such a great job ! But why why why ALWAYS that brown stain ??? Can nobody do a turquoise stain ? … green … pink… ?!? 🥸🤓💜❤️🧡💛💚💙😄
Thanks so much! This is the stain my client chose so it's the stain I used and I think it looks beautiful with this traditional dresser.
My Dad has the chest of drawers that matches that pice
Oh I love to hear that, Kathleen! This is a solid piece.
how do you know you need to change the sanding disk?
When it gets to the point you have to start applying pressure for it to do the job, or when it seems like it stopped working how it should.
Great work but I don't care for the type of stain you used. God Bless
Well my client loves it so that's really all that matters. Thanks for stopping by.
