Mid Century Drawers Restoration
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ก.พ. 2024
- A fellow furniture enthusiast contacted me to see if I was interested in restoring this Stag Fineline 1960's set of drawers. It was covered in paint, stains, water marks and was in need of some TLC. Stripping varnish, plenty of sanding, bleaching the wood and refinishing - it was certainly challenging but I was happy with the result and look forward to finding it a new home.

Looks awesome! Keep talking and using subtitles--that way one can watch it on mute. Personally, I listen with subtitles on in case I have trouble with your accent. And keep in the shots of your son!
Thank you, appreciate the feedback :) My son
seems to be the star of the show now!
@@flipitnation He's gonna be as handsome as you!
@@flipitnation Looks like the little man is setting up for a podcast 😅
Love seeing MCM furniture refinished instead of upcycled*
in some garish, 'antiqued' flat grey.
Really lovely job on this unit.
* Time and place where suited.
You made me blush ☺️
Thank you very much, pleased you like the result :)
The tone, timbre, and accent of your voice are soothing and pleasant.
I enjoy your videos just the way they are.
Thank you very much, I appreciate your feedback :)
Thats because he is a Kiwi, like me.
I LIKE the talking. You achieved beautiful results.
Love the sleek modern look of this dresser!! Great job!! DON'T change a thing about your videos!! The volume button was invented for a reason!!
I prefer listening to the voice-over and explanation, which is more useful than just showing what you do. It's good to see a more relaxed style of editing as well vs. the dynamic one. For me, personally, it fits better with the furniture videos, I watch mostly when relaxing and winding down.
1. Love the tip for reusing gloves.
2. Yes, please keep talking. I need to understand what you’re doing and why you do it. And I very much enjoy your accent!
Love hearing you talk! Sometimes people's voice is annoying but love yours! 😊
Apparently us New Zealanders have been voted number one accent.
Great restoration! And definitely keep narrating 🤩 I enjoy when you explain what you're doing and why you're doing it. Videos with only music put me to sleep, and those with captions get somewhat distracting. I feel like talking through your process keeps people more engaged.
Thank you very much for the feedback, I appreciate it :)
What I’m most impressed by is that you stripped the piece wearing a white cable knit jumper. The confidence and also execution of not getting it all over yourself. I always get finish one somewhere
Keep doing what you are doing...just the right amount of chatting/teaching.
Sometimes when a piece is damaged, restoration just isn’t possible. If you can bring it back to being a piece that someone will enjoy having in their home, it’s absolutely a win. You win! 🏅
And, I love hearing you talk us through your choices as you go.
Thank you very much, I appreciate your feedback :)
You did a lovely job on this piece! And please keep talking. I like when people explain what they're doing.
That is a gorgeous piece of furniture. How nice that you were contacted about refinishing it. And your baby is adorable
I enjoy the sounds of the work being done, but I also enjoy narrating! It's nice to hear the ideas and thoughts on methods and decisions made on a piece! Great job 😊
Awesome, thank you! :)
Do what you do as yourself. Your commentary is useful and you'll never please everybody.
Great transformation. Please keep talking. I love hearing what your doing and most importantly the why you chose to do what you are doing.
KEEP DOING WHAT YOUR DOING! I like having you narrate what you are doing. I would rather not have subtitles. Your voice is calming to listen to, so I think that is much more enjoyable than having to read subtitles. It turned out Beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
Hi,
Excellent restoration! Nice touch using black trim on the front. It looks terrific. Warms my mid-century loving heart to watch a piece be reborn.
Thanks
Very good transformation. Please carry on with spoken commentary. Best wishes Alison
Keep doing what you're doing. I enjoy watching and listening to you.
YES...love you talking and describing....This piece turned out GREAT!
At first I didn't like the color of the dark stain but the finished piece is gorgeous. I was shocked. It still has the appeal of the 60's warmth. I like it!! Also, I love a mixture of ASMR and explanation. Like do one ASMR, do the next one talking. Or, just combine the two when extra explanation is required. I just love them both. Sometimes just the woodworking sounds are soothing after a long day.
I enjoy watching your videos in Florida, US. I think the amount of talking you do is fine. I wouldn’t change a thing. I watch to learn as well as to be entertained. Not all information can be adequately conveyed without words.
Keep telling us what you’re doing. That’s very important. The restored chest is very good looking. Great job! Carol from California, USA
I think you’re talking just enough and not too much and your voice is very easy to listen to. Some TH-camrs never shut up and feel like they have to talk every second of their video and never have a moments peace but you’re just perfect as far as I’m concerned keep it at what I watched today. Love the piece! 👍🏻👍🏻❤️
I absolutely love how you use normal items for your restoration and not the super high professional grade kit. You achieved a great result and I enjoyed hearing your commentary. 🎉
Love how you restored this piece! Keep on chatting....it makes your videos more personal. And keep on showing that adorable baby at the end....what a cutie patootie!
Your baby boy is so sweet 😊 you have a very good speaking voice 👍🏼 This was very nicely done 🇺🇸👍🏼
Your instructions are excellent and your voice is very nice. I watch these type of videos to learn something not just to view something. Keep up the good work.
Keep doing what you’re doing, don’t change a thing!! This piece turned out wonderfully, great work as always 🤩👏😍
I like the sounds of the work. So for me, no talking is best.
Nice work on the dresser
Keep on chatting away fella, it's good to hear tips and tricks as you go through each piece. If folk want silence, there are thousands of asmr videos out there for them to watch.
Amazing job!! I really love the two toned look. And yes, I like to hear your explanations so keep talking please. Thanks for sharing your work with us
Very inspiring, Thanks. Just took this up as a hobby to get me way from the computer all day. It’s meditative.
I like hearing you explain what your doing. I’m here to learn, it’s not just entertainment for me. 😀
I love the normal family life sounds in the background too. 😀
And what a cute Editor ye have at the end there! 😍
I enjoy your commentary and the family vibe is great too. You did a great job on this dresser!
Great result! Can't believe how well those legs came up as well. It has given me some ideas to fix the perishing chrome on my Breuer chairs. Also, keep talking, it seems natural to me.
Another great restoration!!! Most of today's viewers see these mid century pieces in the broke down shape that 50yrs of use and abuse brings them to, like us oldies 🤔 I remember them from my childhood as beautiful!! I love that you give them back their beauty!! By all means keep up your narration, I love your accent and hearing you engage with us makes you so much more real to me! You know you must always include your adorable little one 🤗
Thank you Kim, lots of viewers are mentioning my accent. I forget that 99% of my viewers are not from my home country - I've always thought everyone else had the accent ;) And don't worry, Sonny will always be the star of the show! Take care :)
First, cute baby! Second, I love what you did with the dresser. The contrasting colors give it a modern touch while still maintaining the authenticity of the piece. Please keep talking. I watch these videos to learn different ways of doing things. There's always different approaches and learning the reasoning behind it expands my knowledge. I'll subscribe.
I love the talking. It is a think aloud. I can tell what you are thinking. Gorgeous piece!!
Keep on doing what you’re doing. You have the mix of some background, some voice, explaining where you need to and helpful tips spot on. Good balance.
Nice job!
I think what you're doing in your videos is great.
Do your videos the way you want to. I love the chat about what your doing. Stag was an expensive make when I was young. A good make. Love what you did to it .
Yes, I was surprised at how well built it was. Very solid unit! Thank you for your feedback.
I love your voice and you have a good feel for how much to tell us.
Definitely keep talking! I find your explanations really helpful and informative.
Excellent video and work! God bless you and yours! Praying for you!
I like the talking it sets you apart from most of the other channels like this.
Great result! I think the highlighting is a huge improvement over the original finish. I prefer hearing your thought processes during the videos, so I'd say keep on going just as you are.
My only concern was getting to the last few minutes of the video without a chubby baby break... but then your editor popped in to say hi 🥰
I wasn't sure about the two-toned stain when you said you might have to do that, but it turned out beautifully! I concede that was a great plan. That's a really cool dresser and it deserved to be saved for sure.
I appreciate the commentary. You’ve done a beautiful job on this restoration. I had my doubts about the two tone staining, but it looks really posh.
very nice job, please keep talking, you convey a lot of useful information and I really appreciate it!
Keep talking! As a fellow Kiwi i love seeing content from a New Zealander.
Keep doing what you’re doing 👍👍🙋🏽♀🙋🏽♀ Excellent job!
Narration is appreciated. Let those who don't like it turndown the sound.
Good point! Thank you :)
First time seeing your videos and I’m definitely subscribing! I love that you’re trying to keep the peace as original as possible. You did a wonderful job with this beauty! I think you should continue talking to your video and explaining your process. There are those of us that watch videos to learn. And more than anything I would love to see more of that Adorable baby! He is quite the editor.
Keep doing what you are doing! Love the 2 tone.
Keep doing what you're doing! There's a small contingent of people on TH-cam who want to turn every video into ASMR for their pleasure. Those comments crop up everywhere.
Great job, well done, it looks brand new.
As for the speaking I personally think that you keep on doing it in your videos. A lot of us like to hear what you use, how it’s applied etc.
For those that don’t like for you to speak they can turn down the volume. Most of us like how you teach us what you are doing.
Congradulations
Impressive restoration! Keep on talking, forget the haters, they can mute it if need be. You have a very sweet assistant video producer:)!
Beautiful restoration! I like subtitles and music, this will do no problem.
Keep doing what you're doing, love your videos as they are! This piece turned out gorgeous! But the star of the show was your amazing precious son! He is so cute! 🥰❤
Thank you, yes he certainly is the star of the show :)
💜
Your doing great! Just continue to be you.
Your kiwi accent is nice to listen to there's always the mute button for those who disagree ,great job on the stag dresser I had a set and chalk painted them disaster !!, keep up the good work . ( Greetings from Aberdeen Scotland )
Looks wonderful. Great job. And keep talking your voice is very relaxing
Please continue as you are.
I often can't read subtitles. Keep doing what you're doing. Love what you did on this piece
i like your voice , it is very easy to listen to. i think your presentation was pretty good, enjoyed the video. the dresser turned out great.
Definitely keep doing it the way you've been doing. The voice-over is fine as it is. And the stuff with the tot is cute, keep doing what you're doing with that, too. :D
Very simple & clean lines. This is a great piece. So many wardrobe changes all in ONE day😂😂. Hoping all is well Bud, Dirty Jersey out!!
Nice work. Keep talking-I appreciate the explanation, and I enjoy your accent.
Loved the work you did to this piece, and yes keep talking love the accent.
Keep doing what you're doing. Thats why I subbed in the first place. For those who don't like the talking, mute it..... win win 👍 Keep up the great work.
Keep doing what you are doing, great result
This came out really great! I like the two-tone look, this dresser is ready for her next glam adventure!
Keep on doing what you're doing with your channel; I like a variety of approaches when it comes to restoration videos, and yours are well shot and edited; good techniques demonstrated; and I love the bubba cameos🥰
There are other channels that are strictly no talking so those negative nellies can watch those when ever they feel like it. You are bringing your own take on things and if they don't like it they can lump it!
P.S. I thought you'd be supporting a fellow Kiwi by using Coopers Stripper - it works a treat!
Turned out great, and keep on doing what you’re doing
NICELY DONE!!!
Loved the dresser and u keep doing what ur doing
I love your work and your commentary. Keep it up.
That looks amazing. I find your narration pleasant and helpful--not too much and not too little. Just right, Goldilocks.
Thank you, I appreciate your feedback :)
Recently new viewer, but I’d say to keep doing what you’re doing.
Good work. Explained well enough for me; so, keep talking. 👍🏻
Love your work and your commentary!
Stunning transformation, looks gorgeous now! Sure, I like to hear your comments as you work on a project.
Beautiful work. Re talking, keep on doing what you’re doing.
Nice job. I like the talking! From Australia 🇦🇺
Lovely piece. Keep doing what you're doing.
Great finished piece, sometimes it's just not possible to bring it back to the original condition, so a bit of imagination is a terrific gift. Keep talking, I like to hear how you think out your process.
I loved this makeover and please keep talking 😊👍
Really enjoy the talk overs.
keep up the voice over, great hearing your thoughts and decisions
Keep doing what you’re doing 👍🏻
Explaining as you go are very helpful
Keep doing what you're doing. I appreciate hearing your voice. I had no idea you were so young (judging by the final scene at the keyboard).
Definitely keep talking. You have a very soothing voice.
18:52 gorgeous & your son is gorgeous too. Keep on talking during your videos with captions! Anyone who is hard of hearing or hearing impaired need it. Also, there are those who have varying degrees of sight impairment & they NEED to hear what you’re doing too! ❤
Yes, please keep talking us through!
This is the first of ur videos I have watched But can say I enjoy listening to you talk vs the variable volume of music on other channel videos.
Keep on doing what you're doing 😊 wonderful job ❤
Amazing transformation cole! I love it! ❤
You definitely talking way less than most creators and mostly on the subject so I think there’s no issue whatsoever. Great restoration!!
