Not only is your workmanship gorgeous, but I love seeing your imagination at work in solving aesthetic problems! A joy to watch.
Thanks 😊
Jay I'm happy you show the trial and errors especially since I'm one of those people who can learn from other people's mistakes 😂
@@moonlitegirl72 you’re welcome 😉
@@Flippingdrawers PS I thought your second choice for the trim pieces was the right choice the piece turned out really beautiful 😍
I appreciate seeing the "mistakes" because we learn as much or more from mistakes as we do from the successes. Thank you for keeping those in the videos. Beautiful.
Yet another stunning transformation ✨ Hugo's not just after snacks he obviously likes you and loves the attention you give him. If he didn't like you he wouldn't hang around for even a millisecond...
I like to think that 😂
@@Flippingdrawers It's true. Cats aren't that deep.
@@revdupartist9386 😂
@@revdupartist9386 Cats are actually extremely intelligent animals and were revered by the Ancient Egyptians.
I am a cat owner. I wholeheartedly agree with this. Especially if he purrs while you pet him. 😊
I’m pausing the video to thank you for leaving in your experiments, mistakes, and learning opportunities. Growing up all shows edited that stuff out and we got a skewed view of what the creative process is about, which was discouraging for learners who made mistakes. I love that now we normalize failing, learning, and changing course! It’s so important for beginners to see that!!
Your attention to detail never fails to amaze me. Your willingness to try something new and even fail, also makes your videos worth watching. You continue to teach while also providing entertainment. Well done Sir 👏
Thanks 💛
That's one snazzy workshop cabinet. Great job bringing it back to life. You're always resurrecting pieces that most people would put in the "too hard basket," so kudos to you for that too.
Ha ha thank you 😊
I’m sorry, but I would or could never use walnut veneer for a storage in my shop (oh no, I don’t have one). Nor could I afford to buy all that fancy equipment. I’m not jealous, really, but it hurts me to see that veneer “wasted”. I hope you keep the piece protected wherever you put it!😮
That piece is so beautiful I’d use it in my house, with pride! Amazing!
That’s what I came here to say. I’d think about using it in your house Jay - or sell it. It’s almost a complete rebuild.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with having beautiful shop furniture. You spend a lot of time there and you deserve nice things.
I remember science lab cabinets from chemistry class decades ago. You have given a utilitarian piece of furniture many more years of usefulness. I hope it serves your purposes well.
The lab benches in my HS had these really narrow but deep sinks set into the countertop (which was some hard material resistant to heat, acid, etc.)
@@williamharris8367 My HS school had some with sinks and some w/o sinks for storage. Wish my old brain could still do scientific calculations. I'm so old, we didn't have the marvelous scientific calculators that are available now.
Thank you 😊
Changing the frame color was definitely the right call. That piece will make great storage no matter where you decide to use it.
Another piece that most would have just tossed into the trash, but you saved it. Great job. You have the nicest workshop that I've ever seen.
Thanks 😊
Jay, this cabinet is a masterpiece! Despite the learning opportunities that this piece provided, the end result is amazing. Thank you for sharing all of the problems that you had along the way! You would never see that cat if she didn't like you. This video was a bright spot in the afternoon.
Awesome 🤩 thank you for the kind words
When I first saw the thumbnail, I thought that it may be a kitchen cabinet, but the many drawers would make more sense in a lab environment.
I was thinking to make a kitchen island out of it
Love watching you work through a project and appreciate that you include your failures as well as your successes. It makes it so much more real and entertaining . And love the little appearances from your friendly neighborhood kitties. 😊
Thank you for keeping in your mistakes or errors. It actually helps to know that someone else runs into “issues”. It seems almost every project I do lately has issues. Great looking cabinet, thanks for the video! Also that is for the heads up on the dowel machine, will keep that in mind as I look for one.
I started my first restoring project this afternoon, and I have a new appreciation for your loathing of sanding! After an hour using an orbital sander, my hands are tingly!
Ha ha ha have fun
You should try padded gloves... They even have gel gloves to help with vibrations ... Or get Festool or 3M sander 😂
And take regular breaks. Done too often those pins and needles can turn into permanent damage.
Even your mistakes transform into pieces of art! It turned out beautifully. Great work!
This looks beautiful. I would put this in my living room!
BTW-those weren’t mistakes. They were new chapters in your book of knowledge. 👍🏻
💛❤️🥰
This cabinet is too beautiful for your workshop! It deserves pride of place inside your home. Looks like gorgeous high end designer furniture. Great job as usual.
I think that piece deserves to be in the house ☺️…frustrating process but a beautiful outcome! Bravo
Thank you 😊
It is indeed luxurious! I'm glad you changed the color on the body. Quite a nice piece.
Thanks 😊
It is always a joy to watch you work and to see the transformations that you produce. Thanks for allowing us to come along for the ride.
Thanks for sharing the good and the bad both! In a million years I never could have imagined how great that old cabinet could look! Great video!
You don’t just flip furniture you are very creative and gives love to each piece 🥰
What an awesome revival of a sad piece! The colors are soooo beautiful together 👍😊 Thanks for another inspiring video👏
Thanks for watching
Incredible. Lots of work,but it really turned out nice. Thank you for posting your woodworking skills.
Unbelievable, you did it again. What a stunning result. Have a swift recovery Jay!
thanks ;-)
It looks great. I would be proud to have it in my home. Thank you for sharing your work.
Thanks for watching 💛
Oh wow Jay! I wasn’t expecting the final results. Great color matching!! Hugo & Mia are little angels 😇
Thanks ❤️
I kinda liked the dark finish on the base! Either way it turned out stunning! Way to pretty to be stuck in the workshop! Thank you for sharing! You rock!
Thank you 😊 might put it in my house as a stand for the 3D printer
@@Flippingdrawers A wonderful idea. Nice depth and lots of storage. Please keep us posted on what your decision is.
It's amazing! It's almost too nice for a work shop but for your level of high standard it's actually quite fitting. Great job! I really love your videos.
learning is a process to obtain knowledge and, when doing so, one should not be afraid of the process, which includes mistakes. I think your channel is, in short, refreshing!
That is definitely the most luxurious workshop cabinet ever. Turned out beautiful. Love your red jorts!
Another awesome result. Don't worry about how long or short your videos are, we enjoy the process and your work no matter. Looking forward to the next one. And keep the mistakes in, they'll help others know what they could possibly expect if doing a similar process.
Another beautifully restored piece of furniture! You never cease to amaze us. And those beautiful furbabies are very lucky to receive all of your love ❤
Such a gorgeous workshop cabinet! I love your videos and especially when you let us see some “bumps in your road”….. that cat adds so much to the videos , especially when she is peeking through empty drawer spaces. 🤣🤣🤣👏🏻😎. Carry on, looking forward to extra projects!
Omg, I used those lab cabinets all through high school. They didn't look that nice waaaaay back then! Fabulous job!
Lovely refurbish of old lab bench. Mine never looked that good!
I have a request. When you do your new projects, please use the full-sized youtube format. As an old fossil, I use my computer to view your work and I just don't get the full benefit from the smaller screen videos. Thanks for your consideration and believe me, those cats love you!!! 😺
Hi, I’m not sure what you’re talking about if I’m honest, I watched this video on my tv and it looks as it should.
You can adjust your screen size to view the video(s) larger or smaller. What are you using to view TH-cam?
@@Flippingdrawers This one was fine. It was in the regular youtube format and filled my computer screen perfectly. The ones I'm talking about are the "shorts" which fill a phone screen perfectly. They can't be sized to fill a computer screen and I have trouble viewing them since I have to scroll up and down to see the whole thing. Just a minor complaint and I hope I don't remind you of your more difficult patients from the old days!😽
@@my_flippin_journey I am talking about the youtube "shorts" which are sized for a phone screen. They can't be adjusted as the regular format videos can. Thanks for the help, though!
@@acdallas6356 I don’t make those often but shorts can only be made in a portrait mode😉
So much better! I really like the new colors, legs and hardware. Great job as usual.
What a change! That looks great! So glad to see these pieces restored and used!❤
This is quite a transformation! You always amaze me with the final reveal. This cabinet would look great in any home.
Totally AWESOME!!! You can never have enough storage for your workshop. I like that you were able to do whatever you wanted to YOUR piece. Beautiful. TFS.😊❤
Talk about “making a silk purse out of a sows ear”, what a beautiful result! 👍👍👍👍👍
The old worn out piece of furniture turned out to be a beauty. Its too nice to be in a garage, with the new knobs and the new feet it belongs in the house. I love your channel and look forward to watching you each week. thanks.
It looks like one of the types of lab cabinets we had at school with a sink on top. It looks stunning a beautiful transformation :)
"There is no such thing as failure, only learning experiences." Stunning 💫💯
I bet your friendly neighborhood cat does like you & she knew you were recovering from your surgery so she came to give you kitty comfort😻 Fab job on the cabinet as always 👍🏻
What a great looking cabinet (after your magic, of course)! That kitty is so sweet and she loves you! 🐈🐈⬛
Jay, no one would ever guess you had struggles with this piece. It looks incredible. Excellent job and usual!😊😊 DDecker
Lol thank you 😊
Hugo loves to be loved and he knows where to get it 🥰 that was pretty smart to move the drawers down and cut the veneer to make it look continuous. Loved that and the end results with the stain was beautiful. You are the king of furniture restoration and or flipping on TH-cam and I bet many with agree with me. 👍🏼❤️🇺🇸
That’s very kind of you thank you 🤩
Always enjoy the cat visit !
Hello Jay, hopefully your feeling better after the oral surgery. I love the way the piece turned out. It looks so pretty. Joyce from Connecticut, USA 🇺🇸❤️
Thanks Joyce, it’s going to take a while before it’s healed but at least doesn’t hurt anymore. 😊
The grain on the doors is beautiful
Karol, you were right; the final color/tone combination is perfect! 🙂
Thank you 😊
I give you high credit for salvaging such a piece of junk. The result was quite lovely and makes such a sofisticated addition to your shop. The knobs are so classy and draw the eye immediately. Thanks for another visit to your workshop! Cheers from Oklahoma!!!
Love that you share your successes as well as what doesn’t work. Mark of a true craftsman, and all round good guy 😊
When I first saw I was thinking burn pile and as usual you made something beautiful. I'm always amazed at your talent.
NICE! Anyone would be happy to have this in his/her workshop.
You work magic with these old pieces! I can’t imagine the hours and hours of work! It makes me so happy to see these neglected pieces get a new and beautiful life. God bless you!
Thank you very much!💛💛
Another brilliant job saving that piece from the landfill! It looks amazing!
I think that is quite a nice cabinet for your upscale work shop. WOW!
You know,-you may need a bigger workshop soon. Carol from California
Thanks 😊 I probably will do
I really enjoy watching you complete your projects and I especially like that you don’t edit out things that you change in the journey! You keep it real and work through ‘stuff’ that happens on the way. I liked the end colour of this cabinet better than your original choice too! Looking forward to more amazing restorations and recoveries 😁
Far too lovely for a workshop.
Animals know good people 😊
Unique cabinet. Love how it turned out. What a beauty for storage.
That piece is so gorgeous it belongs in a living room.
I can't believe how you moved from the street to your fabulous workshop! Your work is extraordinary and beautiful! I work in my driveway with old tools & things I learn watching TH-cam ! New hobby at 76 years! Thanks for your.expertise!
You are very welcome 😊 awesome to hear-enjoy
“2000 YEARS LATER”. So amusing⏳
You never cease to amaze me with your creativity. Beautiful results!❤
You are amazing 😊 and your determination is commendable. To take something so beat up and turn it into a epic restoration.
100% respect 😊 great job 👍
It amazes me how you can take such a beat up, mistreated piece of furniture and revive it into something so beautiful. 👍
Really really lovely. I appreciate you sharing the whole process and explaining the choices along the way. And I appreciate the time you put into editing to bring this video to us. ❤
Получилось очень красиво, но теперь вся остальная мебель в вашей мастеской будет выглядеть бледнее на фоне нового стола :) кошки очень любят помогать, тем кто работает, а еще коетролировать процесс. Хотя закуски - тоже веский аргумеет, чтобы прийти к вам в гости😊
The cat LOVES you, like all of us that follow you. An amazing project. Extra fancy.
So happy to see a new video today and I am also happy to hear that you will be doing more videos! You do beautiful work, regardless of any problems the piece may present! Take care and God bless! ❤
Wow, I'd love to have that cabinet in my work shop. You did an amazing job on restoring this piece.
Thank you! Cheers!
With your magical hands, you turned the ugly duckling into a swan! I wish you a speedy recovery!
You certainly did an amazing job transforming a piece of trash into a very nice work cabinet.
Love the finished result! Looks great! 😊
Each time that ‘2000 years later’ sign comes on I laugh like crazy. Love your talent….truly blessed.
Love that!
I’m glad you changed out the edging color. It blends better and looks stunning. Glad you kept in the “ mistakes”. Keep it real so us beginners can learn too. Thanks.
What a great storage cabinet! It’s nice to see the entire process both successes and the happy accidents…makes for a more interesting experience. Keep up the amazing work 👍
Your instructional videos are so entertaining. You teach by trial and error and trial and success. No one does this, except you. The end result as always, excellent.
Glad you like them 😊
As always, I can't believe the final product had any relationship to the pile of rotted boards and rusty hinges that you started with... Bravo!
The fanciest workshop table ever. You are a true artist.
Your work is so thorough and beautiful! I find myself comparing other restorers to you. Hurry up and make more videos! I’ve watched them all.
Love this transformation! If it was a lab cabinet, it should be sturdy enough for your workshop.
Nice work, looks good. Thought the first color on the front frame looked nice but the redo is nice as well. As for the attempt at making a veneer, remember, nothing beats a try but a fail. 👍🏻🙏🏻
Lol. Thanks. I will succeed 😉 need to get a re-sawing blade and dry timber 😂
That is a wonderful result. It must be amazing to see your own work displayed and functional in yiur shop and/or home.
Thanks. That’s kind of the idea😉
I just watched someone ruin a 200 year old antique dresser with wood filler, paint and transfers 😢 and all i could think was if you could have taken that on it would have been restored to its rightful beauty, love your work!❤
You're so hard on yourself - i love the fact that you tried the diy veneer and even though it didn't work out, you learn new things and the important part is that you keep being brave enough to try. This cabinet is beautiful and you did a lovely job.
Short videos, long videos, I always enjoy watching you work. You do beautiful work.
Wonderful upgrade to that lab cabinet. I love the way the wood grain flows.
🥰
I noticed that your outfit was thoroughly color-coordinated. How cute! 🤩
🤣
The color change was the right decision: it was too red before. Now it looks perfect!
That looks really good! It IS the fanciest cabinet for a shop ever.
This piece was truly brought back from the dead. Im glad the kitty was there to help you. Im surprised more of your neighbors dont come out to "help". What a beautiful piece of furniture you turned it into
You’re not perfect? 😂 makes me feel good when even YOU, learn your lessons! Thanks for another great restoration. Cheers from Canada
lol 😂 thanks for watching
This is one of my favorite videos! I enjoy them most when you talk about what you are doing and the tools you use.
I hate to admit it, but I wasn't crazy about the color of this piece......until I saw the final result! It was gorgeous!!!! I'm so glad that you changed it. The first color was ok....but the second was just awesome! You do such beautiful work. We ALL make mistakes once in a while. But, that doesn't mean that we shouldn't try different things once in a while. Don't be discouraged. We all learn from our mistakes, so mistakes are actually GOOD. LOL! I can't wait until next project. It doesn't matter how big or how small it is. You bring me joy.
Thank you 😊 glad you enjoyed
Oh, look, a beautiful cat storage system! 😸😻 Seriously, this is an amazing transformation.
