In this video I restore and old damaged credenza. The veneer on this vintage buffet was completely gone, some wood was rotten and had to be repaired. I tried two different techniques of veneer application and used two warm colours to give this old buffet a new life.You can see multiple tips and tricks I used in the restoration process and hopefully learn something new. This was my favourite project to work on so far.

I am amazed that you keep challenging yourself. Most restorers would not have attempted this project!! Stunning results! Everyone watching your channel should subscribe. You keep amazing us each time. FYI: I did or would not have noticed your chin siyuation until you pointed it out! 🐣
Thank you very much!
Totally agree. The man's not afraid of challenges, always amazes and everyone should be subscribed.
Im thrilled you didn’t change a thing about this cool looking buffet. ( although you use different color of stain) It turned out awesome n I love those handles, so different. I too love how you challenge yourself. Keep up the great work. I’m so surprised that so many watch yet they don’t subscribe. Trust me people, you’ll truly enjoy watching. He taught himself at how to restore furniture.
♥️😊👍👍👍🌟
It looked ready for the garbage dump. Instead, you made a beautiful piece of furniture. The results are outstanding.
Some beautiful pieces because they are so far gone are not profitable enough to restore so they in it evidently get pitched This Man shows everyone that no matter how far gone he can restore it Bravo
Finally! Someone who cleans up the inside as much as the outside 👍🏼
Yes I do 😊 thanks
Turned out lovely. Gave the old girl a facelift and a new lease of life.
Stunning. In a world where I keep seeing people covering real wood and even metal or BRICKS with paint and call it "restoration", it's so wonderful to see someone take their time to do it the right way.
With a bit of gentleness, that cabinet will look beautiful for a lifetime. Great job.
The two tone shows so much respect for this dear old lady, given new life! I look forward to your efforts this coming year. Bravo!
I agree with you!
Wow, thank you!
Congratulations on becoming a full-time Master Craftsman. You have found your life's work as shown in your stunning pieces. 🏆😊
That’s very kind. Thank you ❤️
Not many people would have even attempted to restore that piece. It came out beautifully. I am so glad you kept the original hardware. Those cabinet door pulls are gorgeous. I have never seen anything like them.
Thank you very much!❤️
Congratulations on becoming a full-time TH-camr! Spending your days doing what brings you joy and makes you satisfied is the best job in the world. Stunning stunning piece!
It really is! And thank you 🥰
I’ve heard the expression “from trash to treasure”, and that is truly what you have done here. It turned out beautiful, and someone will be proud (and lucky!) to have it in their home.
Thank you 😊
WOW! I bet this was the project you told David Mayfield was a monster. It doesn't look like the same piece that you started with. I's lovely now. I love two-toned pieces. I love your attention to detail and the fact that you completely clean and finish every inch inside and out. Thank you for sharing this with us. Hugo is such a sweetheart!
Wow, thanks!
@@Flippingdrawers I just read through all of the comments and saw the reference to Tom Johnson. He is a lifelong restorer taking on genuine family antiques and I watch him religiously, but to say you are just a guy in a garage is ridiculous. You have the freedom of expression because you don't have to take any input from an owner. The artistry that your body of work shows us is amazing. Don't put yourself down that way. I look forward to the next rescue on your channel, Mr. full-time You Tuber💜💜💜
OMG 😱 Those handles and those doors are everything 😍😍😍
❤️❤️
Nicely done! I was glad to see that you refinished the interior of the piece as well; so many other TH-camrs don't paint or refinish the interior of the pieces they work on and so (in my opinion) they don't look "done." You did a great job bringing the buffet back from the depths!
Thank you 😊
Your restoration is beautiful! You are so talented!
You are so precise and meticulous. It's a joy to watch you tackle ALL the details. Plus, you have great design sense. Good luck going full time on You Tube. There will be so many lucky people to buy your restorations.
Thank you so much!😊
"I don't have a tool so I'll just make it" I love this kind of thinking 🤣 You're very inspiring, I like the big variety of tools and methods you're using, I feel rich in new knowledge every time I watch your videos. Wish you the best of luck in this "new" job!
That’s very kind. Thank you 😊
Once again, you've turned trash into treasure! It is beautiful.
Absolutely beautiful. I like seeing the little repairs do so much. The colors are gorgeous. Great job 🖤
Thank you so much!💛
That was a lot of work but the results are stunning. I love the plum mahogany color you put on it. That is very beautiful and different. Hugo almost stole the show but in the end what you accomplished with that buffet won the grand prize.
Thank you so much!
You do such beautiful work!!! So happy for you to be a full time TH-camr!!!
Thank you so much!!
Jay not only are you master of your craft, but you’re the best Furniture Designer and Restoration Technician ever.
I have been wondering where you have been since the holidays, now I know, you have been working on this project. It turned out beautifully. Something that was in such bad a shape as that and you brought it back to a beautiful piece. Good job.
Thanks Mike😉
Spectacular. The two-tone finish is really nice. I'm glad you managed to rescue this piece. It was well worth the effort.
Glad you like it!😊
is FAKE!!! cinema, !
I am not a woodworker but I love watching your videos and how you work your magic on these pieces. Very interesting to see how various tools work too. Love the finish on this one.
Awesome, thank you!
You receive a gold star for even attempting a restoration. Many would have assigned it to a trash heap.
Thank you 😊
Seriously Jay....I expected nothing less from you! So much talent and such a lovely human. Thank you for being you!
🥰❤️ you’re most welcome
Brilliant job again Jay. Glad you've become independent and your own boss doing what you love for a living. Life is too short not to take a chance at a better existence. I wish you all the best. Looking forward to your next transformation. X
Much appreciated🥰
Your patience and creativity amaze me. I am envious of all the cool tools you have and how organized your workshop is. You have a great talent.
Your workshop is an inspiration
I am suffering from severe tool envy after watching this video. But when he needed a tool he didn't have, he made one. That's something I've never seen before.
My Italian father and grandfather had this kind of creativity and attention to detail. And talent. Wonderful to see this quality of work.
You’re an artist, I’m so mesmerized watching you restore those old and neglected furniture.
Those handles and fluted trim are gorgeous!!
Glad you like them!
What an amazing restoration! You are truly a craftsman. For you to look at a broken, rotten piece that others would just discard and be able to see the beauty that it could be. All of the work and attention to detail that you put in and restoring it to something so spectacular speaks a lot about who you are. So happy for you that you can now be a full-time restorer and looking forward to your next piece.
That is super kind of you to say. Thank you 🥰
Your restored piece is stunning!! So happy to see someone take the time to restore such a sad and neglected item. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to your next masterpiece. :)
Thank you so much!
Ha quedado un mueble 10, para mí impresionante, además, de art nouveau (modernismo) 👌👍🇪🇸☘️
I love the door handles. They don't make elegant pieces like that anymore. Once again you did your magic and saved a piece of history for coming generations. ❤
Glad you like them!
That buffet looked as old as I feel. Beautiful restoration!
😂😂😂😂
Your furniture restorations are always beautifully done! You also have a beautiful cat!
You are so kind , it’s my neighbour’s cat though 😂 he just comes for a cuddle every now and then
@@Flippingdrawers Not everyone is kind to cats. I’m so glad you are.
Congratulations!
I’m sure Hugo is happy to have you home more often. 😽
You did this old lady proud! She’s beautiful again.
🥰🤗
I have come to the conclusion there isn't any beat up old wood beauty you can't bring back to life beautifully. This is a good example too. Bravo!
Ha ha thanks. Just wait for tomorrow’s video 😂
The way you made that big repair disappear was like magic!
Congratulations on becoming a full time utuber 💫Can I suggest you give more time to finished product? You worked so hard on the piece I wanted a longer look!
The buffet came out so good! It is a beautiful piece of furniture. I can't believe it took 2 weeks to finish it. That's a long time. I feel it was worth the time because you did an amazing job.
Thank you, I don’t look at the cost or would never do any of the projects 😂 just think of the videos and end results.
You brought that back to life and now it can live another 100+ years!
🥰🙏
Hard to believe that you could bring something that far gone back to life. Amazing!!!
🥰
I really like the two tones of wood. It allows the details of the dresser to shine. The finish that you put on to the handles is very complimentary to the finish. It turned out beautifully!
Thank you very much!
You did an amazing job restoring this piece. Its just lovely!
Thank you very much!
Congratulations on becoming a full-time You Tuber! You always do amazing projects. This one was a doozy. It's just beautiful!
Thank you Mary 🥰
Much respect for your commitment to keeping these old peices as they were.
That is a stunningly piece of furniture! Only someone with skills and experience could save this buffet and you did a beautiful job.
Congratulations on doing TH-cam full time. You’ve come a long way since I first started watching you.
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it
Amazing Jay. As others have said, not many would have taken on such a challenge. Another great result and I'm sure you'll do really well having gone full time. 👏👏👏
Thank you! fingers crossed
Like to watch your work when I have time to sit and enjoy it without interruptions. Once again, a beautiful piece!
Absolutely 'jaw dropping' result my friend. This Credenza, at best was firewood. You set yourself an unbelievable challenge to restore it where other people would not have given it a first thought, let alone a second thought, & you did both. Your empathy with the materials in front of you is just SO good, what is broken, you fix. What you can't fix you replace, making it if you have to. What you have finished up with is an 'insane' result almost beyond human comprehension & hard to believe that it is an enormous restoration. SO well done my friend. Cheers, Don from South Aust.
Thanks Don.That is very kind mate.
Really look forward to your episodes….so helpful and well shot/edited. I also am jealous of of your workshop….the space and all your tools/supplies so well organized. I am currently in a dark area of my basement. However, then I remember you working in your lane😂
😂 exactly! We all start somewhere. Thank you for watching 🥰
What a way to announce your return! The piece is stunning now. Thank you for sharing!
You are so welcome!
I admire your patience & determination, I’m sure I’d have just tossed that piece in a skip!
Beautiful! Congratulations on becoming a full-time TH-camr! Love your videos
Thank you so much!!
You did SUCH a good job, what with how bad it was originally. It has a very antique and rustic look - whether that was intentional or not, it looks good. I'll admit, I'm not the biggest fan of the handles (I would have spray painted them gold or brass) and would have painted the wood engraved details. But, both of those are personal taste and in no way objectively make it a bad piece. Phenomenal work, as always! ❤️
Thanks 😉
Oh my goodness! I would not believed it unless I watched. So much work that looked hopeless to start. So beautiful when finished. I am glad Hugo stopped in to inspect and say hello. One of my cats watched the entire video with me. I am happy that you are now able to pursue your passion of refinishing full time now. Happy 2023 from the USA!
Ha ha maybe I should start making the video interesting to animals as well. Never know who’s watching 😂❤️
7 hours of just patching footage??? You have the best work ethic. I could never
Lol 7 hours of footage. The editing took over 2 days😉
Beautiful I love that u kept it natural I'm so sick of ppl just painting stuff and especially just white paint damn good job
So pleased you are doing this full time now. How wonderful. I seem to remember you work for NHS, I am sure you are happy to leave in these turbulent times. Enjoy and good luck! Your restorations and flips are 😍
Thank you 😊 I will still some bank shifts now and then to keep my PIN number and have a plan B. You never know with youtube.
@@Flippingdrawers at least you can pick and choose your shifts now. Lucky you!
Congrats on doing what brings you joy!! I know it brings me joy to watch your beautiful creations...and the saving things from hitting the landfill side of it, is the icing on the cake!! Bravo! Stay creative, stay happy!
😻
Thanks Liz 🥰 appreciate it
I can't believe that you can work that kind of magic on a piece of furniture!!! It looks brand new and so unique!!!
Thank you 😊
I love that you can still see that this is an old piece after you did this beautiful refurbish.
Really nice job, lovely colour's too. It's great to hear that you have quit your job to do something you really love and I'm a firm believer in recycling. You have come a long way and worked hard and I wish you well. I was going to stick around for the chat but was interrupted by a neighbour,then my shopping arrived so I gave up lol. If you ever come to Burton I'll buy you something to go with your coffee!
Ha ha thank you and appreciate your support.
Wow. I can’t think of anyone else who would tackle a project like this an have it turn out so good. 👍
🥰
Stunning. Love how it came out. 2 weeks well spent
Thank you! Cheers!
Fantastic job, the final result it's beautiful 😍 in spite of not being my choice of colours if it was mine, I realise it couldn't be in any other colours, it wouldn't look right 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Love the restoration! The finished project is incredible!
P.S. I love seeing Hugo make appearances on your channel! I moved away to Uni and I miss my pets so much.
Awesome! Thank you!
I only came across your channel a few days ago and have watched at least 20 plus uploads so far. I am working my way through all of them. Your work is truly fantastic and your attention to detail and your vision for each piece is spot on!
I used to paint furniture a few years ago and am becoming more and more inspired to take it up as a hobby again but with more restoration than I used to do. Your videos are really well filmed and edited and are a joy to watch. You have a new subscriber in me... keep them coming! 🙏
Amazing 🤩 welcome 🤗
I love watching your video's. You pay attention to every detail. Every always comes out so beautifully. Thank you for sharing your craft.
You are so welcome!
It was a huge commitment to tackle that project. It's stunning. Hugo is gorgeous. I think most people would have refused to touch the credenza. So we'll done you for taking that on. ❤️
Thank you so much!
Just a beautiful job! Kudos for restoring something that most would just throw out. Love how it turned out!
Thank you very much!
The prep work was a real feat! You are so great in the detailing and repair of your pieces. A really gorgeous piece once again my friend.
Thank you 🙏 much appreciated ❤️
My mind always goes to the story of the piece. Where was it built, who owned it, and finally, where was it kept, to sustain such damage? This piece was a bit of an enigma, as the external bits were destroyed, and yet the interior was not so bad. As always, you did an astounding job of rebuilding and refurbishing this old lady. She is beautiful now, and will live on for another lifetime of grace and beauty!
Just when I thought this was too far gone, you produced a miracle.
🤗🤩
Beautiful! I love the way the handles turned out. Best wishes on your venture as a full-time TH-camr. 💕
Thank you 🙏
This turned out amazing! I can tell you truly love what you are doing. Congratulations 🎈 on becoming a full time you-tuber!! Keep up the good work. 💕
Thank you! Will do!
"Credenza" One of my favourite words. Definition 1: A buffet. Definition 2: When her Grandmother saw what Sally wanted to wear on her first day of High School, she had an absolute credenza. ;P Brilliant job! Almost unrecognizable from the before picture.
😂😂😂thanks
They make rollers for pressing down the lamination. I have to admit I have only laminated counter tops for Jack in The Box years ago but I held onto the rollers. They make getting out any air bubbles much easier. Thank you for sharing I am trying to be a wood worker in my old age and you are the best and most patient I have ever observed.
New subbie and so glad I am. Beautiful restoration, not many would even consider tackling such a headache. You have an immense amount of patience to do so.
Thanks and welcome🤗
such an amazing transformation, you brought new life to a piece that was almost beyond help! amazing as always❤️❤️🤗🤗❤️❤️
Thank you 😊
I love that you narrate your work. I’ve watched many restoration videos where the person doing the repair just posts some closed captioning.
Thumbs up just for attempting this project and not trashing it
❤️
That is absolutely beautiful. Amazing restoration.
Another amazing job....as always I enjoy watching your transformations. You're becoming my role model in furniture restoration 😊
BTW, congratulations on your "new" full time job. I'm looking forward to lots more content.
Wow, thank you! No pressure 😂
Remarkable transformation.....the fluted band glows like metal! Such an artist!
That’s very kind. Thank you 😊
Every single video I watch I think is the most amazing, but then you make another masterpiece! Absolutely beautiful.
Wow, thank you!
What a beautiful job!
Thank you for another enjoyable video and for letting us know how long the actual project took. I’ve always been curious about that but I always forget to ask.
Also congratulations on being able to become a full-time TH-camr!
Thank you very much!
That's the good thing about these videos, is learning something new.
You are a true artist! My Dad worked in wood a lot also. As a small girl age 12 I watched him make 2 end tables and a long coffe table also. The end tables had cute little drawers where my mom kept her needles for embroidery. I still remember her sitting there working on her embroidery. I just cleaned up the old house in the country to get ready to sell. Parents are long gone, but at 78 years those items of wood still sit in their old house and the memories are wonderful. Thank you for sharing your talent!
This turned out looking amazing❤️ such a functional piece too. Terrific work as usual!
Thanks so much! 😊
Incredible restoration! So glad you are able to support yourself through this!
Will see if I can 😂 but thank you 🙏
С огромным удовольствием наблюдаю за работой мастера.Очень уважаю рукастых людей.Наблюдать за красивой работой- Это как слушать виртуозно музыку...завораживает...и вдохновляет.Удачи Вам во всем.
Holy smokes, who would believe that it’s the same piece. What a awesome job you did. Absolutely beautiful ❤
Thank you! Cheers!
I really enjoy seeing your work. I’m always curious about what happens to the pieces after you’ve finished them.
Thank you! This one will be sold.
ANTES DE EMPEZAR A VER EL VIDEO YA LE REGALO UN "SÚPER LIKE" PORQUE SÉ QUE ME VA A ENCANTAR Y ESE MUEBLE HORRIBLE TERMINARÁ SIENDO UNA OBRA DE ARTE, GRACIAAAAAAAAS 😍🇲🇽💖🇲🇽😍🇲🇽!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much 🥰🙏 that’s very kind of you
The restoration is lovely, but my favorite part was when you not only made your own veneer scraper, but you took the time to stain it and make it lovely as well. I really enjoy that kind of attention to detail and drive to make even small things the best they can be.
Wow!! Talk about turning a sow's ear into a silk purse. It's beautiful! Well done.
Your work is outstanding ; so many people would have thrown this piece away. Thank you for saving it.
you saved this from the burn pile. your attention to detail and use of tools is fascinating to watch. congratulations on giving up your day job. now more video to watch
Thanks Rae Ann 😊
Hard to believe it is the same piece. You really saved that furniture from the trash dump. I like that you even refreshed the bottom. Good luck with your new full time job. With your talent you are sure to be very successful. Hugo is a beautiful little guy.
Thank you 😊
Carpentry is the most beautiful form of artwork because the things you build are not only things of beauty but also useful. I wish I had the resources and learned skills to be an artisan carpenter. I imagine that the pleasure and pride that you feel when people admire your breath taking work, must be exilerating.
Thank you so much 😀 that’s very kind. I bought a can of paint and a brush, flipped a piece of furniture and used the money to buy a sander and more paint…. You get the idea.
WOW. Can't believe that is the same piece of furniture. You worked magic on this one.
Wow, thank you!
