This small table and bench seat were brought to me to be refinished to be past down to the customer's daughter. A separate video was created for the upholstery. A link will be provided once it has been uploaded.

from a junkyard quality to a high end furniture brands quality, just "whoa"!
I love seeing an item like this restored and stained! There are way too many videos on painting antiques! This was amazing to see it come alive and your restoration is spot on! Beautiful job!!!
You’re another restoration channel I’ve discovered in lockdown. It’s brilliant. I’m really enjoying finding stuff like this.
Thanks!
Confess, you had to remake the drawer guide rail because you made the same side left or right as the original.
Haha I did🤣
Ha ha ha ! I purposely came to this comment section for this same reason . . . No updates on fixing that guide rail back to the table made me suspicious . . . 🤔😂
This just shows that we're all human after all . Similar things happens to us in life . Just forgive and continue to love and live . . . ✌😘
Amazing transformation! You turned shabby into something elegant. I would love it for my home office!
Sorry couldnt you just turn it around ? Oh i c. Lol
I noticed that to. I must confess I was sitting giggling.
You gave this piece its soul back. Excellent video, I thoroughly enjoyed it after a hard day at work. I appreciate your channel, especially now after having lost my uncle to coronavirus over the weekend. Please stay safe!! Blessings to you all
Thank you and so sorry for your loss.
I refinished one of these that belonged to my grandma and then my mother. There were hundreds of little thumbtack holes in the sides where there had been a skirt. Luckily there was no paint in the drawer and it works smoothly after a little soap on the sides.
The top of the vanity is just gorgeous.The color is so rich and vibrant.
wowzer! just hitting the like button doesn't do justice to this. That is a fabulous finish.
Thanks bud!
Such a labor of love,,,the finished piece ,,shows your workmanship,,,,bravo
Looks great. I'd love to see how you repaired the damaged/cracked wood where the corrugated fasteners were.
I watch a lot of TH-cam trying to learn to flip and I can't believe the care and detail you took in this piece to make a simple old battered piece truly and heirloom now worthy of being passed down many more generations! I am watching your dog hike now and not to the end but would love to see the owner's reaction!
I love seeing the true glory in the natural grain in the wood
👍👍👍
My god, It looks brand new, so satisfying to watch, thanx for sharing!
Now I remember I am retired happened upon mr bears videos and thought this is great im going to buy all the equipment and redo furniture for all of my family I have supplied fire wood because this is really hard now I remember shop class I sucked so I enrolled in a class for cabinetry and in 10 years maybe I will do something worthwhile
Looks like you built it from scratch. PERFECT!!
The more descriptive a person has the better I like it and I really like your video and especially when the dog said is as smooth as my belly button that cracked me up and I love the scenery that you showed us that's beautiful wow what a difference
I love it! Wish we could see owners reaction!
Once again you did a miracle transformation. My mom had a vanity table like that with a fitted skirt fitted to two hinged wood sections that would open up like a curtain for access to the drawer. I wonder if this was painted originally? It sure looks better with stripping and finish you applied than any paint. I so agree about that Minwax. Nasty oily mess.
James Pollowitz was going to say the same thing. The million little pin holes around the edges were dead give away.
That's how my vanity table was too, with those two arms that would open to access the drawer. My Mom made a fabric cover for my vanity table that matched my bedroom drapes. Our table was also painted a glopped-on white, and we bought it at an estate sale for about $10. It had straight legs, not nearly as nice as this with the spool turned legs. So it was good we covered it with a fabric quilted top and floor length, gathered skirt. It doesn't seem to me that this table and seat are a set. The seat almost looks like one for a sewing machine and its design looks low and ungainly compared to the vanity table's legs and curved top. If it were me I'd use a caned chair with the vanity table, or a round, fabric covered piano stool if you could find one.
I think things that have a family history are extra special.
Recommendation for a table saw? Bosch ... I picked up one from Lowes for about $400. It comes with a roll about stand for it that folds up for storage. I’ve restored antique furniture with it. It has been a great saw for me. As with any saw, careful measurement. It’s been a great saw. It is remarkably precise for a portable table saw.
It doesn't even look like the same desk and chair.... Fantastic!
Thanks!
Lovely job. So many young vloggers use chalk paint to redo furniture, which is OK if the style is outdated. But here with the spool legs it looks fantastic with the dark wood finish.
And there, people, is an excellent example of how to turn a sow’s ear into a silk purse. I didn’t think it possible. Looks awesome.
Thanks! 😃
I Love the way you made a draw runner.. So now you have TWO left handed draw runners :)
Thanks bud! Magic trick: if you turn it around the left becomes a right!
At first, I quite disliked those pieces of furniture, but by the end, I was in love. Amazing how doing things properly can make things look so different.
This vanity turned out beautiful
Just love that cute desk. I already like this refinement.
tip, 3M now make stretchy sandpaper that goes onto curves!
What was added to the wood fill?
Wow! That turned out beautiful! Great job!
Absolutely stunning work! Just beautiful, thanks for sharing 👍
Kind regards from the UK :)
I'd love to know how you pulled out those corrugated corner fasteners, that must have been a bear!
Really amazing work 😍😍
The final look became awesome
Great job, beautiful land , sweet dog and love the music.😊
Beautiful work. What looked like child's play furniture really turned into a set that's handsomely elegant! That stain color was perfection! :)
I am so happy i found your channel. so cool! love the dog and the beautiful outdoors too.
The desk looks beautiful. Lost for words!
Großartiger Job, hat viel Spaß gemacht dir beim Restaurieren zuzusehen. 🙂👍
Daumen hoch und ein Abo von mir.👍✔
Grüße aus Deutschland
That is one beautiful piece of furniture!💕
I am so excited to find your channel. Your style in editing is great!! You have a cute dog and a great sense of humor. Reminds me of helping my Pop in his shop when I was a kid.
But I found it fascinating that you talked about not using minwax but there was an ad for it at the beginning of your episode. Keep up the amazing restorations!
Thanks! That's hilarious. I think they're on to me!!!! 🤣
Wow , das ist sehr schön geworden . Beeindruckend ********
I love the back on that chair !
This is the *DOPEST* BED FRAME & BEDROOM EVER !!!
It's better than pretty good John...WOW
I noticed that rail too! I'm looking at you gluing it and thinking" put it on the opposite side!" Nevertheless, a beautiful resto.Also, lovely country area for your dog,and seeing the fish.
Or add 1x1 block lol , drawer probably still shifted he's a profeskinal
Beautiful finish, really shows the grain...
Absolutely beautiful!,
Nice, the end result is amazing considering what you started with.
That’s so nice! It looked cr..pay painted. It’s so nice, I repeat
Beautiful!!
Bravo pour cette belle restauration ! Qc , Canada
John, this looks amazing!
Beautiful job. Looks brand new.
Thanks!😃
You gave that thing LIFE
Another beautiful piece.
I would love to see how you removed those corrugated corner fasteners also what did you use to fill those gaps
Привет,какая трудоемкая,колоссальная работа,очень нравится наблюдать за реставрацией!
Cant even imagine the sanding pads you went through to get all that paint off. Thank goodness for sanding gum sticks hey (to clean em). Ps. That dogs like a kangario
Hi from Australia love your channel and your work it’s beautiful
Thank you for saying something about people painting their furniture rather than staining, my sentiments exactly : ) Cute little restore, looks more adult like than with the mounds of paint you waded through.
That’s gorgeous!
Brilliant restoration John, unusually wide chair for a small vanity table 🙂
The chairs or stools for Vanity tables started with using a regular chair or stool and the width of the seat has a lot to do with "Tradition", When Vanity Tables became popular for Ladies, the ladies were wearing either hoop skirts or Bustles, much wider that a "derrière!" The meaning of derrière is literally "Back Side" The use of a small curtain to hide the drawer also "Hid" the ladies ankles, at one time it was alright to see a "Back Side" but seeing a ladies ankles was thought to be "Rude and sexually exciting!" My how the times have changed!
Потрясающий результат! Вы вернули всю красоту дереву!
Came out beautiful
I WANT that gorgeous vanity NOW. An absolutely wonderful job. You are a perfectionist. And you love your dog which gets tons and tons of brownie points. I think I'm addicted to you channel 😎
GUAUUUU , PRECIUS, NICE AND CLEAN AMAZING!!!
Thanks!
I'd like to see how you removed the corrugated fasteners and how you repaired that area.
Nice job on the table. It's beautiful. Any time that you restore a vintage piece that has been painted white, it's a good day. Stay safe.
Thanks bud! I just pulled out what I could with some pliers and glued up any splits/filled any parts that would be seen. Since they were at the top of the legs they were hidden and never to be seen again unless someone unscrewed the top and took it off. In that case, they'd see the history of the piece!
That color is gorgeous
I always wanted a vanity like that - beautiful!
Beautiful work!!
Much better than before!!!
Great finish...🏴 🇨🇦
I , too, think this table started it's life as a blonde. The kidney shape is the giveaway. They would have both been from the same time period...1950's. I remember well all the blonde furniture at our house when I was a child. Great job of restoring, even though you went with a dark stain. I would have liked to have seen how you fixed the cracked wood with the corrugated nails. 👍
Great video and loads of tips for my current project that doesn't involve painting over the beautiful wood. Loved your dog walk interlude 🤗
Your dog has got you right where he wants you, you do the obedience test!
So beautiful. I can’t believe that that painted mess came out like that! I have tried to do this and I’m sad to say it’s been years and the projects bested my level of expertise. But I think I might give them a try again. 😉
Beautiful. Just beautiful.
Beautiful work.
Definitely had a skirt originally. Also arms mounted to the front and closed to hide the drawer. Looks better now for sure.
Stunning!
I bet the lady was well pleased with that.unbelievable.
Thank you!
love the wood grain
STUNNING!!! ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE COLOR. JUST BEAUTIFUL.
Hahaha Bucko not sitting and running off in the wrong direction 🤣🤭🤣
Love this soooo much! Looks so much better than that white paint!
Watching from Scotland love your videos ,another beautiful job done 💙
It turned out nice!
Absolutely love it. Thanks for sharing all the tricks you've picked up over the years.
This is really helpful & interesting. Thank you.
Looks beautiful.
I had that same vanity and remade it for my daughters. :) So fun!!
Omg you did such a beautiful job of course as usual.. I would have love to see the lady’s reaction when she seen it. I hope see knows all the extras you did to make it nice n sturdy, you know a lot of the things you don’t really see visually yet really plays a big part to the end result. Thank you for sharing.
Better than new!
Beautiful, I only hope I can do the same too and old white painted desk that someone was thowing away. It looks like maple.
Very entertaining AND enlightening!! That could a writing desk from a century or more ago. Loved the underwater pics of the sunfish.
Love it apart from the grey cover nice bright pattern fabric would have done the lovely wood finish justice
Beautiful job 👍
I must admit, I actually loaded this white table and chair right from the sight of it. But curious I was to see what you might do with it. And now I'm truly impressed. The table looks absolutely gorgeous! The chair ...I still dont like the shape of it but sincerely admire your workmanship.
Amazing job !
Beautiful job
