You may not own Hugo, Mia, or Rufus, but they own you. 😺
😻😂 100%
@@Flippingdrawers When you made the snacks comment I said: "We teach cats how to train us." 😆
Great use of domestic appliances Jay with fantastic results 😊 Those kitties have you wrapped around their little furry paws. ❤
All the fun but none of the litter cleanup!
100% true, and they are deserving of everyone who loves them
Cat tested and approved. That is all you need to know. They chose you as one of their people, and appreciate your work as much as we do.❤
Somehow I missed this comment 🤔 thank you 🤩
And the kitties have claimed it. Beautiful restoration, Jay. Now on to the next. I'm excited
Thank you 😊
I really like that the finish isn't perfect, it really tells a story. How many people have sat on that chair? rocked the baby, cuddled a cat, read a book, drank a cup of tea in it? The cats seem very impressed! ❤❤❤
So kind of you, Jay to restore the rocking chair for Hugo and Rufus to relax in when they need a nap after a exhausting session of inspection of the latest project. Chair has many more years of work ahead being sat on, it is happy it was rescued from a rubbish pile.
Chair turned out absolutely lovely, I like the lighter color. And the fur bosses approved as well! Such beautiful cats!
Thank you! 😊
The highest form of approval is cat approval, so since they both seemed to want to sit in it, you have done an excellent job! 😻
Thank you! 😊😻
That poor old rocking chair was in awful shape when you first got it. Your restoration was fantastic!! The final results were gorgeous!!! It's pretty clear that Hugo and Rufus approved! What more do you need? 😊
Glad you liked it!😻
It's a " new old " rocking chair
Very nice! I love that the cats always come over for an inspection 😂
Thanks. It’s actually a pretty funny coincidence that they came when I was taking photos 😻
@@Flippingdrawers You know there's no such thing as 'coincidence', right?
I think they visit when the storm of drills, sawdust and spray paint have settled.
Since the cats are seemingly very happy with it, I would say it was a huge success. And as for people approval? I love it. Thanks for saving this sweet old piece.
Absolutely!😂💛
It is good to see that the cats approve.😉 Great job on the chair. It looks beautiful!
I loved your brutal honesty about all of the sanding on this rocker. Made me chuckle. The end result was so worth all of the effort. And your models did a great job. I hope they were paid in scratches and treats.
Awesome, thank you!
You have received the best response to your chair from the cats! They love it, so it's "Cat Approved". I love it too. It turned out beautifully! Everything you do is amazing, and I would definitely watch all 6 hours of any video that you would make! 20 minutes is just too short. Your voice is so soothing, and your interactions with those beautiful cats make me smile. I am a cat slave for my two girls. Three others have passed in the last three years. I miss them dearly.
sorry to hear that and thank you ;-)
All the sanding & repairs were worth it! Turned out great! 😺
Yes! Thank you!
I really like this piece because it shows it’s age after being restored. Gorgeous!
I’m glad you left the seat the way it is now. It gives it character. Great piece 😃
Glad you like it!
The furbabies approve, most definitely. I too think you've done an amazing job. Love it 😍🖤🤎
Здравствуйте. Я понимаю вас 50/50, но смотря вашу работу и слышать ваш голос , это как успокаивающая таблетка. Мира вам и здоровья.
OhJay, I love that rocking chair. Love every detail to it n you keeping it to its natural color I love so much. You did a beautiful job on it. Fixing that break, you can’t even see it. You take so much pride in each piece you do. It’s perfection at its best.
♥️♥️♥️😊👍👍👍🌟🌟🌟
Thank you so much 🤗 very kind of you
Beautiful restoration work again. Never disappointed. If that chair could talk, what a tale it would tell. ❤🎉
Thank you very much!
I love Rocking chairs. Reminds me of the good ol’ days.. you did an amazing job restoring this chair!! Thank you!!
Jay, I agree with you on the shellac (it's hard AND easy). But, you 'can' dab a bit of denatured alcohol on the drip and rub it gently with a cotton swab if you want to get it before it's totally dry. It won't (or will be LESS likely) to leave a mark. 😀
True😊 thanks for joining the live 💛
WOW🎉. I see your helpers approved of your work.
Yes, thank you😻
You did a fabulous job bringing the rocker back to life. It's beautiful.
I love those old rocking chairs, and I love to see them restored. this one must be thanking you! It looks great now! Nice job!
This was a nice job on this old rocker. You're very talented at fixing furniture boo boos. 😅 Please don't think the kitties are using you as an excuse to get treats. Sometimes it is difficult to let someone scratch your belly until you can trust them! 😂 Super job made to look easy. Great work! ❤
Thank you! 😊
What a beautiful restoration of a beautiful rocker. Love the colour. ❤
Thank you very much!
I love the completed chair! Im glad you used a simple shellac finish, it didnt need a dark stain. You did a wonderful job with all the repairs! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much! 😊
This was my first time watching one of your videos with live chat. What fun. And as always you did a terrific job!
That’s awesome 🤩 thank you for joining Kent and thank you so much for the super thanks. Very kind of you 😻
Oh I love it! It is like magic but with a whole lot of sanding lol!!! I love you attention to detail and how you give new life to old forgotten furniture. It is a wonderful thing. I will see you next time. Oh and the cats are a nice touch. 😁
Thank you so much!😻
I love rocking chairs and this one came out beautifully! Like you, I think the coloration of the seat adds to the character. I am sure my 2 cats would like it as much as your feline friends. One of my cats has claimed my rocker as hers and there is no added cushion, she just likes it.
Hugo and Rufus love the chair! I love the selac color! This old chair deserves some TLC , it will be happy in your home with your kitty visitors!
Absolutely love your restoration videos and your voice is always very calming to me. Not that I would want you to change anything, but if you would happen to put up more footage of the beautiful cats, i would not complain in the least!😂
It feels so good to see an old, forlorn chair restored to being pretty and useful again. I think the kitties think you made it just for them!
I see that your dining clientele approve of your restoration work. 🎉
Awww, Hugo! Looks like somebody wants to be the channel mascot!
I can't believe you saved it!! I didn't think it could be saved, but you made it beautiful again. You are amazing! It's a masterpiece.
Thank you! Cheers!
I love how you are very caring about the people when you say Hello beautiful people you are a kind person
As usual, splendid job!
Thank you! Cheers!
Great job per usual Jay. I loved it.
Glad you enjoyed it😊
It was so nice to see the kids loving on your handiwork. They definitely put on their stamp of approval 🤓
It looks like your Inspectors gave your work their final approval!! Amazing how you take something that looks worthless and you make it useful again! Awesome!! TFS. 🐈🐈⬛🐈😊❤
The chair has come to life again, I love the blonde colour, it has warmth and softness.
I love that you have cat breaks although dogs and cats do like to supervise any activity😄.❤
Your hard work paid off! Very good choices. Looks great!
Thank you!
Beautiful restoration, and Rufus looks marvelous sitting in it.
Cats are a excellent judge of character. They know you a a good person. The chair turned out beautiful.
Thank you 😊
yw@@Flippingdrawers
We all know sanding is your FAVORITE thing to do!😂😂😂 beautiful job!😍🤩
What is a project without 2000 years of sanding?
It looks stylish, comfortable, and lovely. Anyone would be pleased to have it.
Again a GREAT job Sir!
Thanks again!
Love all your videos great restorations. 👏🇨🇦💕
Thank you very much!
I like the weathered look of the finished product. It shows that the chair is old, but it also reveals its character.
Glad you like it 😊
The final results section really got me this time. In the garden with the blanket, it felt like it had a whole story behind it. I personally was picturing a elderly Victorian woman reading a book quietly in her garden.
🤗
A real character piece- and I’m not talking about the feline appearances! Also it’s interesting to learn about shellac. Beautiful results, as always.
Thank you, love that you used your homemade shellac as the finish on the old rocker. It suited it perfectly. It’s a very pretty, but practical looking chair. Enjoyed seeing your kitty neighbours checking out the new scent at the end, so typical. ❤🐈⬛🐈.
Turned out beautifully. Glad the kitties liked it. Definitely kitty approved.
Thank you! 😊
The snug fitting on the chair may attest to a well made piece of furniture! So lovely.
I love that you stop work for the cat visits. And I love that you love the cats. They are my favourite pet, though I adore all animals. Would love an old rocking chair like this one. Fabulous transformation.
Thank you 😻
When I first watched your channel I kept saying why is he picking pieces that are so fair gone. It was only the third episode I realized that you were pushing yourself increasing your skill. Good for you. It’s great for the watcher because we can see what can be done. Thank you.
I love how you enhance the natural colors of the wood, a lot of repairs are done with different shades, you always do a natural look. Thank you
Sanding is becoming your middle name, but here's another beautiful result. (It was even awarded the cat seal of approval, a comfortable chair's highest accolade. :-) )
Rufus and Hugo approved! Lots of tedious work but a beautiful transformation…
Sweet like honey! Beautiful and really appreciated by the neighbor's cats! Thanks so much for sharing
I love that you didn't stain it but kept the wonderful grain.
That is a beautiful piece of furniture ❤ love the way you restored it. The cats approved, so you are sure it is fantastic .😊
Thank you! 😊
Lovely chair and your work is cat-approved-the highest possible praise!
Yes! Thank you!😻
Wonderful inspection team! ☺️ You really do such lovely restorations, Jay. 💕
Wow, the lighter color makes it look more modern. Very nice, and cat-approved as well.
Many years ago, my wife bought me 2 spindle backed, cane seat, antique chairs in very bad condition. I pulled the worn out cane seating out of them. Then I just sat in a chair in the driveway when I had nothing else to do and hand sanded the entire 2 chairs, spindles and all. Then I found a guy locally in Long Beach, California who sold pre-woven caning material. I bought the caning and splining from him and had him give me a training on how to install it. After I had soaked the caning material overnight, I carefully installed it the chairs and let it dry. When dry I tested the seats and they seemed very tight. I did a light stain on the oak frame of the chairs, but left the caning natural. I went back to the shop that sold me the materials and tested his seats for tension. I was very proud that my seats were tighter than his. Now about 50 years later one of the chairs’ caning has broken through. I’ll have to contact my antique dealer friends to see if they know anywhere I can find the caning material again. I heard 10+ years ago from an experienced antique dealer that to have caning custom woven, they charge for every hole in the material-yikes!
Are there some days where you find there are just not enough clamps 🗜️
Most of them 😂
😂😅😊
What a sweet, old chair. A house really can't have too many rocking chairs, especially for visits from Hugo and Rufus. I love the splotchy finish because it goes with the old style of the chair. Something fancy would not be true, even with all your repairs. Thank you for another visit to your workshop, and cheers from Oklahoma!!!
Another beautiful result. Never saw that trick of using compressed air to push glue into a joint. Always learning new ideas from your videos.
Beautiful job! I think the kitties all approve, too! 😊
Every time I see the cats on the videos I want to comment on how beautiful they are... And today I just had to! They're so majestic, they're like "model" cats lol. And so nice to see that Hugo lets you rub his belly, that's not common on cats! He must really like/trust you.
Loved the chair as well! Hugs!
thank you and totally agree, I'm a lucky person to have them in my neighbourhood
Lovely restoration approved by the fur babies and humans alike!
I must admit that going back through previous video's that this one would have to be my favourite. I love rocky chairs, they're such an underrated piece of furniture and super sleek and it certainly warmed my heart to see this one restored to its former glory. And even the neighbourhood felines agree that it's good. 😍❤👍
Glad you like them!
Simply beautiful. Always a great pleasure watching how take a piece that’s headed for the landfill and give it new life. Great job!
I’d totally watch a 3 hour video of yours.
Aside from thoroughly enjoying seeing your creations and refurbishing of old furniture.. i gotta say, your voice is very soothing to listen to.. Thank you for all you do. 😊
Loved the rebuild and you did a great job. The cats liked the new chair also.
Really great sanding job, Jay! And very refreshing to see a piece of furniture that is'nt smeared with dark brown colour at the end, which seems to be the norm right now:)
Such a beautiful masterpiece. Enjoyed the models in the photo shoot, they were purrfect .😊
That has got to be the cleanest workshop I've ever seen.
I went to the store and asked for a 'thingy' and they didn't know what I was talking about. 😃
not a good store 🤷🏼♂️
@@Flippingdrawers 😄😄😄
Beautiful little rocking chair, back to its former glory or possibly even better.
Great job friend..! only with care and dedication is it possible to obtain a magnificent result; and you are a great example of the care that must be taken in the details to bring back to life a piece of furniture that was considered lost..., you are a restoration craftsman and I congratulate you for it...! Greetings from Ecuador 🇪🇨👍🏻
Thank you very much!
Even sick with a serious case of bronchitis & can’t help but laugh (and cough) at the “2000 years later”. 🤣🤧 I found the info you shared on shellac. Thank you for saving this beautiful rocker.
I have my Great Grandfathers chair in much the same condition yours started in. Can't find anyone wanting to take on the project so clearly I will need to do it myself. Now I have an idea how to do that. Thank you!
Your hard work and attention to detail was well worth it! I knew you’d totally rock this one - and you did! The kitties were perfect for staging the final shots, even if it wasn’t intentional on your part. 😁
Thank you so much!
I can promise u, those kitties all know that ur house is their house now lol!! But kitties it takes a minute for them to trust, and the fact that they all do and they come give u cuddles or even get treats! They know how good of a person u are! And that really does show through when u get excited the kitties r there 🥰🥰🥰🥰💕💕💕💕🐾🐾🐾🐾😍😍😍😍💖💖💖💖
The kitty's approve and so do I, It looks lovely. Well done.
So glad you restored this old beauty.
Thanks.
I love that you used the technical term "puncture thingy", it made my day. You do excellent work and I am sure you couldn't do it without the supervision of the cats!
Thank you and absolutely not! I need multiple cat breaks on a project like this 😂
I am in love with you: your work, your skills, your tools, your voice, your videos, and of course...the cats. 😁 BIG hugs from Texas! 🤠🤗
Love the tools. They didn't have these when I was refinishing furniture 20 years ago. Also, love that the cats come to visit and you always give them some of your time!❤
Thanks for watching!
I think it says a lot about you as a person, that the neighbourhood cats all come to visit and say hi. Cats are very particular about the company they keep. You must be a real sweetie lol x
I’m so glad the kitties approved! ❤
The chair turned out incredibly beautiful. I always learn something from watching your videos- like where Shellac comes from! Haha. 😂 My favorite part of every video is to watch you with the kitties. Literally, I think you are their owners! I lost a cat this July. He loved everyone! He played with the neighbor kids, visited my older neighbors and was just simply liked by all. I was touched to see how many of our neighbors actually helped us search as he was missing. They all felt like he was also their cat. We eventually did find his body, and the neighbors have all mourned with us. It’s amazing to have had a cat as special as him. These cats seem so similar. And you are so kind and patient with them. I wish the entire world could be like you when dealing with other peoples pets. Thanks so much for sharing so much with us. I look
Forward to your videos every week!
Im sorry about your cat and thank you ;-) animals are great because what you see is what you get.
Beautiful chair, thank you for saving it and giving it new life!!
Very nice. Repaired without losing the age.
Great videos and projects. Love the cats, too!
Glad you like them!
Reminds me of a couple of chairs from my grandfather’s waiting room at his dental office (well before 1942). They were not rockers though. I wish I had had a little sandblaster when I tried to rehab them. All I could do was paint them. Very good show.
