In this furniture makeover, I transform an abandoned torso of a china cabinet into a liquor cabinet... with 3D shutter doors that pop out!
Louver doors with slats that pop out is something that I've wanted to attempt for a long time, but I just never found the perfect piece to try it on... until I ran across this. I found this top half of a china cabinet on the curb. Not only was it entirely solid wood, but it was also in amazing condition, so I knew it had big potential to be transformed into a high quality piece. I decided to turn it into a liquor cabinet, hence the wine bottle silhouettes on the doors.
Going into this project, I knew it wouldn't be easy; the markings and cuts would have to be precise in order for the slats to be spaced evenly across all three doors. It also turns out that cutting and sanding 135 slats with extreme care is quite time consuming (I think I spent 2 whole days just sanding all the edges). The chinoiserie leg design was also one that I had never built before, so that was a new challenge on its own.
In the end, I'm very pleased with the outcome of this project, and with this video I hope to share some of that joy.

That is just stunning 👍👌👏
An awesome piece Andy…thanks for sharing your transformation of it. 🙏
Thank you for sharing your talents with us. Enormous respect to you. 😊
Great job man ! I wanna copy one. 🤪 thanks
Amazing, just AMAZING! Your talent is unbelievable, you are so blessed. Thank you for sharing this and all of your videos. Take care, stay safe.
I don't know Andy, I'm running out of new words to express my thoughts. This piece is not only beautiful art, but is intelligent design. That's even before you begin the work!!! Completed, it's a one of a kind masterpiece matched only by your previous work. I do hesitate to use the word 'work' because the video displays joyful crafting. You, my friend, are a joy to watch as you create. Thanks.....🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
I am in the exact same position as you. I am in awe of his work, style, production quality, the power of the silent approach and vision. My words don't seem to be enough to describe it. I think we should try though, so here we go: THAT'S BLOODY LOVELY!! Apologies for the vulgarity but sometimes it is needed!!
I couldn't have said it better.
The absolute best compliment I can pay you is to tell you that yours are the only TH-cam videos I watch at normal speed!
I’m speechless... first of all, I don’t know how you even envisioned such a beautiful design, and secondly, your patience and attention to every tiny detail is amazing, Bravo, young man- I hope you sold it for thousands- it’s worth every penny!
What a nice comment to leave. Thanks for brightening my day!
So true! Its worth thousands!
His name is Andy? So am I!
I've just discovered the channel. He is a true craftsman, and I love the subtle wit of his presentations, too!
As if this woodworking project wasn't tedious enough, he still goes the extra mile to make an amazing video on top of it all. I'm already looking forward to your next upload.
You say that you're 'pleased with the outcome'? You should be ecstatic! I believe that I've seen all of your vids & they leave me with my mouth hanging open. This one tops them all! The DIY Wife could learn a lot from your legs & skirting -- really. Hand sanding 135 teeny, tiny slats for painting & in between coats -- you get the 'Glutton for Punishment' Award. But honestly, it was worth it. The piece is breathtaking!
Couldn't say it better!!🌷
Thank you so much 😁 Andrea from DIY Wife is also a pro at what she does, I’m a big fan!
My thoughts exactly! I would have wrote the same if I hadn`t been that flashed...staring at the screen...eyes and mouth wide open😳👌👏
Wow. This cabinet has CLASS. This is no longer a piece of furniture. This is a work of art. Simply impressive!
I can tell this particular project must have taken FOREVER to finish! Incredible work and art!
Andy... What. The. Hell?! I normally have some compliment disguised as snarky sarcasm. But this time, I'm just going to say it's... its... hmmm, I dunno man. At the moment I can't think of a word that means more than stunning.
Over time, your work will stand out as one of the great furniture designers/ restorers of the century.
🥲🙏🏻🙏🏻
It’s hard to overstate how creative this job was. Simply outstanding.
You are a genius! I also felt bad about the little insect! I try to save them too but …. Thanks for these lovely, quietly videos.
This is a masterpiece, a true example of patience and dedication.
You took forever to upload new video, bt the long wait paid off. Thank you for your nice work
love it mate!!
🤩🤩🤩 his face!! It did not disappoint. Way to do doing a whole dresser.
The amount of sanding😬...such patience and hard work. Turned out absolutely beautiful.
S T U N N I N G....🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥....you vision and skill set is on a whole other level....unbelievable
Every video I watch I'm like "this is my favorite piece" but like THIS is my favorite piece. Consistently impressed with your work.
I love the way your mind works 10 steps ahead to get the end result that you envisioned at the beginning. Like...all those notches for the slats...and "I'll use nature!" I mean, who thinks that way? YOU, obviously! ;-) And all of the pieces to make both concave AND convex bottles on the fronts. Not only that, but the photography you have to go along with it all. To you it might seem "natural," but to us mere mortals, it's kinda mind blowing actually.
Thank you so much!!
And the award for best editing goes to.....OMG you are so talented!
Sie sind nicht nur handwerklich ein großer Könner, sondern verfügen auch über eine wunderbare Ästhetik, die mich begeistern lässt!
WOW. Beautiful. I have gone back and watched all you previous videos. I love them. I love your creativity.
Brilliant job again friend, it look's really cool great job, have a nice day & Stay Safe. Brian UK !!!.
Wow… not gonna lie I was unsure when you started but you pulled it off! Great job!
Modern, you are a total nut with tons of patience. Good to see Pepe guiding you through this. The black on that oak is wonderful, almost like a cerused finish, but cerusing would have been too much. Talk about ELEGANT, you need a very fancy house to put that thing in! The music was a nice touch. Just when I think you can't amaze me anymore, you outdo yourself, THANKS. The bottle thing is a tiny bit trite, at first I thought is was just like a big wave that went all the way across the front of this. But still, WOW!!! Maybe Chest'er has met his match?
Not what I expected, Much Better. Just one word, WOW!
Сколько фантазии, терпения, трудолюбия у вас! Получился шедевр!!! ❤️❤️❤️
There are no words for this ... I think it's the best thing I've ever seen.
Shareable but the workmanship was a lot. Bravo on the 3-D effect. Impressive!
Thank you so much :)
This is the most incredible thing I've seen on TH-cam.
Not that anyone ever did before, but DEFINITELY after this video, no one can question your patience and dedication. This is absolutely amazing.
I’ve been watching amazed. Splendid skills.
By the way; video editing is not less than the job. Thanks for existing.
I wish people would be leaving cabinets like this one on the curbside around here. Need a couple for my scale models and favourite books.
Great job, mate
Your skill is out of this world. I never comment on any TH-cam videos but had to this time.
I'm only sorry that I can't forget all your videos and watch them again as if they were new. You are talented and full of creativity also in your video-making. Chapeau.
mans is back 😩🙏 now I get to avoid my responsibilities for 18 min 🥰
You have more talent in your pinky than most ppl have in their whole body. Lotta wrk in this. Beautiful
😅😅😅😅😅
All of work is beautiful. You are a true artisan. Not to put pressure on, but I look forward to your next piece.
Вы в своем роде профессиональный артист своего дела! Я постоянно ищу ваши работы, поскольку никто не уделяет столько внимания и времени на детали и никто не хочет создавать художественные изделия. Я прямо кайф ловлю от вашей работы 😍
I love that you don’t talk and don’t play music
You are a master lapidarist, not of gemstones. but of wood and furniture, just as highly skilled and artistic. Incredible talent.
You my dear Andy are in a totally different dimension , i can never do what you are doing but it is a pure enjoyment watching you, bravo👏👏👏
LOL... my first thought was "ohhhh... he got a new toy!" because my experience is that this special kind of crazy happens when you need to play with a new tool that "only cuts this specific kind of wood slat" or the like lol.
Seriously, I don't think people even realize the time it takes to edit the way you do, let alone build a cabinet. Hats off to your dedication my dude... Epic.
Tons of work but absolutely beautiful.
I just stumbled over your videos by accident and I am speechless. Your work is stunning and so lovingly done. with an added bonus that my anxious brain just went into a meditative state by watching this!! Thank you for sharing your art
О, Боги, самое прекрасное, что я вижу, так это по-настоящему счастливого человека. Человек, который реализует задуманное- удивительный. Я восхищена этим произведением и вниманием к деталям. Как дерево поддаётся мастеру - на это можно смотреть бесконечно. О, эти использованные по непрямому назначению носки 🧦 - 😅👍🔥 я теперь тоже их буду бережно хранить для таких работ. Правда очень мило 😇 ❤️
My fav carpentry guy. Another amazing masterpiece, great job.
So this is where you’ve been! You keep on turning out these masterpieces. Amazing detail as always and so imaginative. Love the use of nature, that was something else!
Such a truly beautiful piece indeed. Looking forward to seeing your next work of art ❤️❤️❤️
This is stunning.
You should build a spray box next, so the bugs don't pester you while spraying
Absolutely gorgeous. You did an amazing job. My son would appreciate something like that in his home. Well done indeed. To think that this was going to be scrapped if no one took it. You have given new life to an old piece of furniture that’ll now get at least another 2-3 decades of life it it’s looked after. You are a craftsman young sir, may you have many many more fruitful years of carpentry in you and that you become very successful and wealthy from your craft and talent.
You are the Stephen Spielberg of furniture restoration videos. Apart from the incredible craftsmanship of the pieces, the camerawork and effects are phenomenal
Aw man. I'm just in total awe yet again. I love the design. Your attention to detail is second to none. Thank you for this 18 minutes of pure joy. You're a bloomin' genius young man.
Dude, you are a master of masters you skills are very impressive and I'm blowing away because you don't have those fancy tools that other guys have, that inspire us as a weekend warriors that there is not limitations or excuses to get the job done, kudos to you my friend ,always a pleasure to watch you vids, very straight forward and not to much talking, .... 🤟🏽👍🏽
When I feel a bit anxious, seeing how you work meticulously kinda calms me down 😂 I dont know why but it does. There is a sense of stability in how you work.
Your design esthetic is impeccable and your calm determination is inspiring
The bottle design on the slats is genius. It a cabinet but also a unique piece of art
Hi Andy I've missed you.
Me too! Love his work and how he presents it.
Whoever left this on the Curb would be foaming at the mouth if they saw this 😆😆😆 unbelievable job 👍🏻
Your talent makes me weep. Both your furniture creations and videos are chefs kiss. Amazing job as always!!!!
The profile on the slats is a great idea executed perfectly. Beautiful piece of work. Craftsman
You certainly dont like easy jobs..excellent transformation.
You made that cabinet even more elegant than it was before. Absolutely beautiful.
Dude... this is amazing. Every time I'm in awe of your attention to detail and your ability to recycle materials. When designing I find it WAY easier to start from scratch so I'm super impressed. And all of those slats? 2 days on sanding alone?! 😭 I would've been crying.
Also, the curves on the skirt and legs? *chef's kiss*
Great as always man, thank you for sharing!
😮wow…I’m speechless!!!!! Well done, sir👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
First time viewer here. As soon as you painted the outside back of the piece, I knew I was in the presence of a master craftsman who takes no shortcuts.
Thank you 🙏 and welcome!
Those shutters are incredible.
Your patience is unreal Andy. One word "spectacular"!!
this is way beyond my imagination there are literally no words to describe how amazingly talented you are... just WOW!!
Love the fade out of the window pane to next part of vid, so cool.
You don't look old enough to possess that incredible skill. That was fascinating! What amazing patience and diligence.
It’s a real work of artist! An old piece of furniture transformed into a designer piece of furniture in an exotic style!
Классный дизайн!!!!!
Комментарий в поддержку ролика и канала, а также труда мастера.
Let me just say I am happy you shared this video with all of us dreamers. I follow you on Instagram and I will never get enough of your work... Excellent
You're someone I would love to have as a friend so that I could learn from you on hand instead of a video. You have a great taste. God bless you.
What a fantastic job you did,,,,,it’s one of the most professional I’ve seen on TH-cam,,,bravo
wow what an awesome louver doors with slats design, really unique and the cabinet looks really good.
Killing the game!
Speechless! I’ll bet your dreams come true everyday in these beautiful furniture saves!
You are one of the best furniture refurbishers out there right now! I love watching the transformations. You are so talented and creative beyond expectation. Excelent craftsmanship
I hope your pieces are signed and dated.
Art. On every level. And to be enjoyed for the ages.
Your editing & sound design 👌 🔥🔥🔥🔥
You should have a furniture makeover show. I’m shocked that no one has offered you a deal. I’m sure viewers would be mesmerized by these trash to treasure transformations.
Very clever young man & excellent workmanship, well done, saying hi from Australia
I am in complete awe...your talent is unparalled :)
Amazing work! FINALLY, a furniture rehab video without any music! Except at the very end 👍👍😁
Энди, Вы потрясающий мастер!❤
This is completely different level of DIY!!! Holly mother. You are good!!
Thank you so much!!
I think you will be a famous designer should you choose to. I sit here in awe watching you give thought, skill and patience to each piece you do. You wow me. I’m a big fan!
OK, first off, how do you only have 57k followers?!? This is some really great work! I will be using the paint mixed with sealer trick myself. One word of caution...keep an eye on that plug you made for the hole in the top. Using green wood is nice, but it will shrink as it dries out and could split. Can't wait for your next video! Keep up the great work! Oh, almost forgot...beautiful editing and camera work too. The beauty shots at the end are fantastic.
Wow, not only is this beautiful and functional but you saved something from likely ending up in a landfill. Bravo on all 3 counts! You are a master furniture builder.
Superb as usual. Excellent work. Delightful design
I've followed you for some months or close to a year, not sure. So I haven't been with you for so long, but when your videos pop up, that is from before I joined, I always watch them.
Today I thank TH-cam's algorithm for providing me with this one. Because this project is wicked! It's such an awesome piece!
It came out beautiful
You are just one of the many people with so much talent and creativity on the web.
I discovered your channel yesterday and I'm addicted! You're doing perfect work ✨ here we are again with a unique piece 😍
Amazing! I thought you were just painting the wine bottles on the doors. Holy moly I love the doors. So creative.
I loved it. I loved how you didn't feel a need to talk through your whole video too.
I can't decide what I enjoy most - your creative and entertaining videographer skill or your amazing and meticulous woodworking skill. I particularly enjoyed the backdrop of greenery, the squirrel and multiple insects. You are truly gifted my friend and good things will come to you. Bravo - thoroughly enjoyed this video and Instagram pics!
Thank you for the kind words Judy 😊🥰
So etwas habe ich noch nie gesehen. Was für eine Arbeit. Genial
