I'm very happy that you kept it a natural finish. I'm not really crazy about the worm holes,etc'. I think that the wood had so much character on its own and had survived unblemished. I do like the castors and handles to bring it up to a steampunk aesthetic. Good work!
I can't decide which I love most - your clever videography or your vision & talent for transforming a piece of furniture into something grand and unique. Bravo!
I wasn't sure about the wormholes at first, but you had the vision! The final product was gorgeous! I would not have guessed it was the same dresser! Beautifully done!
Amazing job! It hurt me when you were creating more damage on the wood, but I understand the intention. You are a great furniture designer and you clearly had a vision. You created a wonderful piece. I can't wait for your next video
Another beautiful piece lurking under years of neglect! I’m impressed not only with your skills, but with your design sense. Everything about this finished piece is just right. 🌟
Love it!! Those castors are awesome and cleaned up beautifully. Using the WD-40, to protect from rust, is just like what I learned from my grandmother regarding caring for a cast iron skillet. They have to be “seasoned” with oil to protect from rust and keep food from sticking. If maintained properly, they’ll last for decades. Bravo, another beautiful transformation!💜
You were right with "trust the process". It pained me to see you putting all the holes and marks on it, but it turned out great at the end. The castors are a good match with the hardware and it made it original. Great job.
I really love your channel. The respect you have for the history of this furniture is unrivaled. I'm so proud of you and I don't even know you. These videos are so soothing. Thank you for what you've shared with us all.
For the videographer: I love the rust and vinegar cocktail with the sound of heavy machinery backing up as the casters were lifted out of the liquid. Fabulous! If I had brought this piece of furniture to you for restoration, I would have been appalled at the number of permanent changes you were making from the outset. However, having seen your previous work, I would have waited patiently for this beautiful gem to appear. You even did a great job with fake distressing! Oh my! You are such an artist! It's perfect.
It looks fabulous and I love the wax effect on it. I’m not sold on the artificial woodworm holes mind. If it had survived that long without it my personal feeling is that it could manage without it for good. However, it doesn’t spoil it and the wheels and handles are a perfect choice to set it off. Who would have thought such an ugly duckling could turn into a beautiful swan?
100% Agree with that. He is extremely talented and does a good job restoring furniture but I had to fast forward the distressing and worm holes the wood looked so beautiful and then nail holes nope can’t watch that part but in the end yes it was beautiful but could have look more beautiful in my opinion.
Ive never seen the wax application as you did, and the nail and screw teqnique for a steampunk worn look was clever. I Really like the end result. Great work!
I loved the result, except for the battle scars! I have to say I deeply admire all the skills you showed here, and how you brought an incredible piece back to life. The castors were such an amazing match, I love it! I want one just like that for my home ❤️
Wow what a beautiful transformation! Well done. I appreciate your hardware consideration to match those wonderful castors and the distressed and waxed finish just pulls this piece into an awesome piece. It's always been a pleasure to watch your work. Much blessings.
Love the finish. I've got a tall 6 drawer dresser that is very similar starting condition to yours. The external drawer treads need some attention though. I had to remove the tiny wheels and I may replace them with the large castors. Im so excited for warm weather so I can get started
I'm binge watching Modern Makeovers at the moment. Your physical and artistic skills have been rightly praised by thousands of viewers, but I must add, perhaps rather strangely, that your command of the English language, your grammar and punctuation is faultless! For me, it adds to the absolute pleasure of watching your videos. You put as much thought and effort into your post-editing as you do in your makeovers. I taught English and to see it used correctly is very pleasing indeed!
*Love .. Love .. Love .. Every Pc You Create* These Video's have to be time consuming. I am *So Appreciative* you take the time to Create Them .. ❤ .. *Thank you*
That is great work and some new techniques I have not seen - you seem to have many skills and tricks in your "toolbox". Here is one from mine - use hair dryer or heat gun to heat up the sticky liner before removing. It will remove much more easily.
I’m surprised you had to pay as much as 70 dollars for it as it was really worn. I would have left enough overhang on the back of the top to cover the width of an average baseboard. That way you could stand it next to the wall and not risk losing small items behind it. A great makeover though.
I think $70 is quite a deal for that piece. It's really worn but it seems to be all wood and not some laminate or veneer so the quality could be higher..? I don't know for sure tho but it could be a reason
@@royer_redos Yes. It's bc. of the personal attachement to one's personal belongings. Thus people overestimate the value of their things. This phenomenon even has a certain name in psychology. Sth. like "attachement theory" or so..
I totally like the dresser, because it is very clear to me that the quirks in the wood were made intentionally, and not to make it look artificially old, but as artistic freedom. That's why it's a work of art for me!
When you started scarring the wood, I was yelling "Noooo!!" at the screen but the wax made all the difference. Gave it character and a personal touch. Beautiful job. Always enjoy your videos. I stop everything to watch. Thank you.
I love your videos. Your editing is top notch. This piece turned out absolutely beautiful. I questioned the worm holes and screw dings...then when I saw the end result, you were right. Trust the process. Beautiful.
You are so incredibly talented. With furniture, your video editing, your organization, just everything! I have to say, I never like it when people distress their pieces, but I LOVED this. Total perfection. I wait for each new video from you. Keep them coming! :)
this is my comfort youtube channel. got commissions to do? modern makeovers is on in the background. absolutely bored to death? let’s watch this guy rub a dresser with various materials. love this dude.
Lol, I am glad to see someone else who saves even little pieces of wood, I even save all my shavings and sawdust from different types of wood. A nice well-done piece of work.
I get so excited every time you upload. I love your style of your videos and the quality of your work is so impressive! Thanks for sharing! ~ Funkensense 💚

yeah the damage they did for sure rubbed me the wrong way.i had to downvote honestly
yeah I agree. Beautiful progress but adding fake damage for a more... rustic look I guess?? Seems wasteful. Enough damaged dressers exist as is haha
@@Aleph-Noll you downvote because something's not your style? That's sad.
in a way I agree because it was sad to see intentional damage on the wood. On the other hand, it's just a different method of antiquing.
@@lavero1810 what other reason is there to downvote?
Thank you for not playing back ground music. I like the real sounds of the work going on. Great job.

I love how you save all of your extra pieces. Beautiful restoration.

Thank you for sharing that :) 🙏🏻❤️
Oh god, I had to read this again to realize you didnt mean that you put wd-40 on your cast iron skillet. I was super worried 😂
Absolutely georgeous! Love this look.

Agreed. I wouldn't have chosen the fake distressing but that's just me.

@@emilydoesit8383 yes totally x
That is awesome! Probably one of my favourites. The old caster wheels and the wormholes..perfect!
Thank you!! ❤️
That does look amazing. I was a bit worried when you started distressing the surface, but it ended up great!
Ive never seen the wax application as you did, and the nail and screw teqnique for a steampunk worn look was clever. I Really like the end result.
Great work!
Thank you very much! :)
This turned out incredibly well! You are definitely one of the best furniture restorers that I've ever watched!
You are incredibly skilled! Congratulations!

Wow. Such a difference. Love the castors. Love the new handles. Great job.
Thank you so much :)
Wow! Amazing skills both with the editing and the dresser. Thanks for the enjoyable video
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Superb - carefully chosen piece of furniture, creative vision, great documentation and a fab final outcome. Thanks.
You said exactly what I thought about him, and his work :))
your vision for each piece you do is so so good
Absolutely gorgeous. Classy and timeless. WOW!
You never miss. I could watch your restorations all day.
Great transformation! It's a more gorgeous piece now!
Wow absolutely gorgeous! I love Annie Slom products and this turned out amazing! ❤ You are incredibly talented!
Thank you so much 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
WoooooooW! A million dollar one of a kind piece now!! ✨✨✨
Awesome job! Appreciate that you don’t add the annoying music everyone else does.
Wow what a beautiful transformation! Well done. I appreciate your hardware consideration to match those wonderful castors and the distressed and waxed finish just pulls this piece into an awesome piece. It's always been a pleasure to watch your work. Much blessings.

Thank you again! I love love love your work!
I'm speechless. This is beyond gorgeous.

Im so excited for warm weather so I can get started
Warm weather cannot come fast enough.. good luck with your project!
ONE OF MY FAV furniture makeovers so far. You are extremely skilled and have got fabulous taste! 😘
You nailed it!! The final result is just so good Andy.
Never heard it before but the wax finish on a natural wood is so beautiful!
The best part is the smooth feel on the wood once the wax is buffed and cured 😃
This may be my favorite so far, love it!
Wow. Your videos are my favorite thing on TH-cam. You make things so beautiful.
Beyond up cycling. Creative at another level
That turned out beautiful
I love the distressing you did on this, wormholes and all. All that character! The transformation on this was wonderful.
Another beautiful piece!
Beautifully updated!
Gorgeous as always!
Beautiful Job!!!! Thank you for "saving" it!!!!!!😊
This is gorgeous
Gods, I love it so so so much! Esp the wormholes, gives it such a bare and enduring feel. It’s so homey for my lifestyle
Loved every second of this video…as always

Again, this is just beautiful !!! Congrats, you are amazing !!
An amazing job and a beautiful piece ❤️.
The trimmed down and elevated body help feature the spiffed up finish. Great hardware gives one more punch of style. Nicely done Andy.🌷🌷

Ookh Yes that would have been nice!
Maybe it was 70$ bc. they already know he lives there and can make shit to gold!! 😁
I think $70 is quite a deal for that piece. It's really worn but it seems to be all wood and not some laminate or veneer so the quality could be higher..? I don't know for sure tho but it could be a reason
Initially it might seem expensive but I was browsing for furniture the other day and people want ridiculous amounts of money for their old junk.

Parabéns, você sempre nos surpreendendo com seu bom gosto. Ficou lindíssimo. Continue assim, seu futuro é brilhante......
😁🙏🏻❤️
Best video editing ever. Love this piece. congratulations
Great casters!
Fascinating and beautiful
A new one! You always have such great ideas! Love watching your videos for inspiration!
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
It looks outstanding. And you are wright - these 'wholes' give it special vibe
Your choice of handles is perfect with the big beefy casters. Very nice work, it’s a really nice look.
I love the subtle details in the editing, like the sound effects, baby socks etc. Great to watch and great result too!
Great refinishing project . . . I remember distressing pieces using the same technique as you did here . . . great inspiring channel
I totally like the dresser, because it is very clear to me that the quirks in the wood were made intentionally, and not to make it look artificially old, but as artistic freedom. That's why it's a work of art for me!
Very very cool! You are very talented in so many ways.
Thank you!!
Thank you for a new upload! Always a pleasure to watch!
flawless yet again sir
😃🙏🏻🙏🏻
Beautiful!
The finished result and your video editing are both, as always, a delight~
Very nice, I love the handles and the wheels.
You don't know that but your videos helps me a lot when I'm anxious, thank you so much 🥺🙏
When you started scarring the wood, I was yelling "Noooo!!" at the screen but the wax made all the difference. Gave it character and a personal touch. Beautiful job. Always enjoy your videos. I stop everything to watch. Thank you.

I like, like, like your videos so much creativity and skill.
I love your videos. Your editing is top notch. This piece turned out absolutely beautiful. I questioned the worm holes and screw dings...then when I saw the end result, you were right. Trust the process. Beautiful.
I absolutely LOVE this. And the faux “wormwood” is a stoke of artistry
You are so incredibly talented. With furniture, your video editing, your organization, just everything! I have to say, I never like it when people distress their pieces, but I LOVED this. Total perfection. I wait for each new video from you. Keep them coming! :)

Und noch einmal kehrt ein schönes Möbel an seinen Ursprung zurück. Wie schön das gewachsene Holz sehen zu dürfen. Weiter so!!

A cup of tea and his new video in a calm Sunday afternoon💚
Thank you for watching! 😄🙏🏻
I loved that "colourful" sticky drawer lining! It kept the drawer bottom from being stained over the years!!
