    I've watched several videos on dresser restoration and this channel is my favorite out of all. You're very informative yet simple short videos. Would be great to know what brands of products you use listed with links in your videos. Thank you for sharing your craft.

  • @egyptian_thoth
    @egyptian_thoth 8 ปีที่แล้ว +126

    This is absolutely crazy. That would cost about $500 in a furniture or more! How do you even learn to do this b/c I really want to do these types of projects!

    • @de5072
      @de5072 8 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      Egyptian_Thoth there might be workshops. but really it is learn as you go and research as much as you can. buy books watch videos. talk to the people who work at places like Lowe's or home depot to know what works with what.

    Love it! The only thing I would change would be the shelves. Try to use a thicker wood to match the same width of the rest of the wood and I think it would look much more professional. Really nice job!!

With a little(or a lot lol) of elbow grease, I'm sure I can upcycle a few bureaus and credenzas. It'll save money, help the environment aand give me the satisfaction of seeing a beautiful "new" piece of furniture. Don't worry, I plan to go wild with COLOR!! Thanks again for the INSPIRATION!!

  • @MyName-hf8tn
    @MyName-hf8tn 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Initially I did not see the true potential in that piece of furniture. The result is very nice!! It doesn't look at all dated or like someone just slapped paint on it. You took the time to make it right and current. Thanks for opening my eyes and showing me that I must finally get a real sander in order to get a similar result. You've been blessed with talent because I might have ended up in the ER if I did all of that with those nails. ;-) Thanks again!
