Looks like some nice wood under that green. I’m like you, I enjoy just working with wood and restoring pieces. Loved your video. Linda Beals. Your hard work paid off, nice looking piece now.
I think it came out adorable! The only "bad" thing was gluing the door panels, oh, and using phillips head screws (supposedly nobody likes them). So many staples, I don't recollect seeing that done before, looked like a zipper, though neatly done. Your grandmother should love it, unless of course she wants it returned to green. Thank you.
Thank you for restoring this piece to its original state. Not everyting has to look sparkling new at the end and the time you put into it was well worth it. You returned it to what it is meant to be.
So nice to see it liberated from that old paint job! Just an important note to test for lead in old paint jobs. There are testing kits you can buy. If lead is present it needs to be removed wet ie with a stripper. Sanding dust will create micro particles that can be inhaled and lead is very toxic. Though sanders have those little dust catchers they certainly don’t extract all if the dust. Also make sure your mask is of the right grade… sanding and using all finished from sprayers/aerosols. You can damage your nose lining and lungs.
The piece appears farm made or made by a local maker rather than a manufacuring company. It's a nice old piece. A few suggestions for you to consider as you continue to next projects. When using sawdust in glue for a filler, use finer dust for easier sanding and blending in. An old tea strainer is great for sifting the sawdust. Because pine can look a bit splotchy when adding a stain or colored finish, you can try putting on a coat of wax-free shellac before adding any color... it will help to even out the grain. For older pieces where you opt to leave in the history, wax as a final finish often helps to blend the imperfections & soften the dings & scrapes... gives it a more cohesive look. Final note, I've recently learned the term for leaving a bit of history (dings, etc.) in your restoration...sympathetic restoration. Some folks may not appreciate the look, but it is your choice.
Lots of critics on your board! All I ask is that you test for lead paint and wear proper breathing gear. Your lungs will thank you. Thank you for saving this lovely old piece! It has great character. I’m not quite that old but I do have character lol. I subscribed. ❤ I really enjoyed the music. Brings back great memories!
I appreciate that you don’t use a chemical stripper, but so much work!! Just when I thought there could be no more paint, another piece would appear. 😂 All of those staples!!! I call this the Frankenstein cabinet. I’m sure I would have never taken on such a monumental task. I like the two-toned look and appreciate that you created a piece of furniture from what almost everyone would have considered trash. Thank you for the video. ❤
There are some pretty mean comments on here. Please don’t get disheartened by them, just morons who can’t say a kind word. It’s a great old piece and was sympathetically restored. I hope you treated those awful wood worms to a respective bath!! One tip for you. Keep the head of the hammer (flat part that strikes nail ) clean and shiny. Use a bit of end of life sandpaper for this. You are ten times more less likely to miss a clean strike on a nail. Plus, as you used a decent headed pin put of piece of cloth or if you have it or a piece of real leather ( from an old shoe ) over the head and then strike it. No nasty scratches or dings to be seen. If your a beginner then things can only get better. I hope I’m not incorrect in that point. Good luck and invest in some good tools if you can.
Someone gof a bit happy with the stapples. 😂ive never seen furniture held together with a million staples before. That is the craziest thing ive ever seen.
Вы просто молодец, что не превратили в глянецевую новую. Вещь с историей... Отдельно отмечу звукоряд. Честно, наслаждалась музыкой. Единственное... Примите совет - не затягивайте показ шлифовки. То, что это чертовски трудоемкая работа, понятно из первых кадров. Да, великолепная Музыка спасла просмотр для меня, но другие могут не досмотреть, а ведь финиш работы поистине великолепен! 🎉 От души желаю новых , восхищающих в финале работ❤❤❤
That was my first thought. Use a stripper first. But then the million staples holding every part of this cupboard together quickly distracted me. Lmao😂
I redo furniture , I'm allergic to a lot of products , but I love to had sand or use a scraper .sometimes it's not about the furniture it's the peace we find doing it . I don't sell pieces ,I do for friends and their old pieces
I guess this is 'better' but the finished product is unfortunate. I've watched so many expert qualified restorers on TH-cam sites, that I know a master-craftsman when I see his/her work. Perhaps this is early in the start of your craftsman's journey and if so, continue! I wish you well.
I’m so sorry, but I don’t think you’re doing a good job. Disabling without sparing parts, not gluing it back as it should be, not treating the Crackled wood as it should be, taking the wrong screws when you put it back together 😢and all the sanding… sorry but I’m not gonna be a subscriber.
You guys did a lot of work. Such patience! I hope your grandmother likes it. It is much improved.
@@SparrowStockwell Thank you!

True enough, but he could at least have cleaned up the glue excess before staining it.

NO LEAD TEST?
@@anmaz02 Not sure how lead paint has an impact splotchy staining in certain woods? Lead paint seems to be a different issue.

Good for you. It was a very time consuming process. You stayed with it! Much improved! !
Yes! Thank you!

@@stephaniebotfield7188 Thank you man on support and on good tips!

I've restored several pieces my mother took the stapler to.....definitely not the best idea.

Insomma , che dire? Lavoro approssimativo
Woow Very good! Is a Beautiful Job 👏👏
Thank you! 😊
Overall, it looks much, much better.
I wish you treated the worm wood damage, patched some holes and sanded the inside of the drawers.
Why not use a paint stripper? All that sanding is crazy.
That was my first thought. Use a stripper first. But then the million staples holding every part of this cupboard together quickly distracted me. Lmao😂
yeah, thats what i was going to say,,, lol
Beautiful your job. Congratulation.
I redo furniture , I'm allergic to a lot of products , but I love to had sand or use a scraper .sometimes it's not about the furniture it's the peace we find doing it . I don't sell pieces ,I do for friends and their old pieces
That's exactly what I was thinking!
Shouldn’t have glued the door panels, they should float so they can expand with the humidity in the air
🙋♀️👍
no....
Paint remover shud be used , it's easy to get rid of the paint
Some old paint types do not come off well with stripper. Shiny very old enamel paint is one.
I do wish you’d cleaned and sanded the insides of all the drawers & cupboards. Painting over dirt on the insides of the drawers is not good 😢
I didn't think he was going to clean or do anything to the inside of the drawers or cabinet.
What the frills with all the staples? What a mess.
Wow ❤
That was a true labor of love! Nicely done!
...очень много работы было сделано но..к совершенству ... реставрации как таковой нет жаль конечного результата нет.... терпения вам для других работ.
Marsvilloso trabajo,gracias por compartir.Saludos desde Cantabria(España)
Как была рухлядь,так и осталось.😢
Миллион железных скобок - это нечто! Скотча не хватало 😂😂😂
Осннь небрежная работа, к сожалению
Looka good, but the insect holes should have been filled.
Leaving a bit of history is not a bad thing.

Looks so much happier! Nice work!
Thank you!
I bet you wish you had a dollar for every staple you removed 😊
Why did you bust the door when you were taking the screws off? There had to be a more patient way?
New sub here, I'm interested to watch your journey 👍
With all those staple I think it was made by Dr Frankenstein
Sorry to say because you put so much work into it, but turned out terrible.
Thank you for that!
Solution to all life problem a staple
If the staples don't work, use duct tape.
Some things are just meant to have a coat of paint.
Best music ever
Le as quitado uno añitos de encima a guedado jenial ❤❤❤
All those staples! Yikes!
ну вот, другое дело - теперь и на помойку выбросить не стыдно
stick on paint. why not fill the stapler holes? But it looks after much better
A fraudster and didn’t care 😠
good restoration, well done!!🤩
Thank you so much 😀
👍
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Repair is too rustic for my taste... Prefer actually repairing, restoring the boards for a tight fit, then natural stains
Soy Mery
Disappointingly shoddy outcome. Seems only half repaired, poorly stained.
Так собі
I’m so sorry, but I don’t think you’re doing a good job. Disabling without sparing parts, not gluing it back as it should be, not treating the Crackled wood as it should be, taking the wrong screws when you put it back together 😢and all the sanding… sorry but I’m not gonna be a subscriber.
Good old pine, tough.
Very!
