This bench has been in my workroom since last fall. It has supported people's bums for 8 years in my tattoo shop, but back in the fall, someone sat on it a little weird and it broke. I'm FINALLY getting around to looking at it. In this video, I address some of the problems with the design of it, and try to figure out ways to prolong it's life just a bit more. I give it a custom Odie's Oil & Pigment stain finish that turned out just how I pictured it, and although I plan to repurpose this piece in the future, it's ready for more bottoms until then. lol

I love that you didn’t completely erase its history! But instead worked with the imperfections by creating the custom stain. It’s beautiful! You are so incredibly talented. 🥰
Thank you so much!
Museum professional here: if an item does not have a clearly discernable individual provenance, it has no history. You restore it to factory standards at that point.
This was really informative. Your videos are so helpful to me because you don’t just show what you do. You explain why you’re making the choices you make for each piece of furniture. I love the way the bench turned out. I also enjoyed your side trip and watching Nacho inspect your work. The music was lovely, too.🌸
Nacho is always on the job! Haha ❤️
here's to hoping you can get where you want to be in a few months. Watching your artistic skill, I know the tattoo world will suffer for your loss, and still your happiness and fulfillment come first!
Thank you so much Tonja!
Love this project all the more because you took something pretty third-rate and made it beautiful
Thank you so much for watching!
Another great class on furniture restoration. I learn so much each time I watch your videos. Thank you!
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!
Angie… Nacho 🐈… and a new video with some furniture transformation. Perfect end to the weekend.
Awe, thank you so much!
Really enjoyed this video... the chat, the music, the scenic break, and the final product. Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you! ❤️
Glad to see you are taking care of yourself. The drive in the snowy woods was beautiful. It was so smart not to try to remake the bench. Sometimes good enough is good enough. ❤
Thanks so much for watching!
You did wonders with this one! Many would have written that bench off as beyond repair. I love the custom color. Best of all ...Nacho's cute toes!
It will eventually get reborn once my need for it in my shop is over.. but I will reuse the lumber in a new project (maybe even a new build entirely!) so it wont go to waste. :-)
Thanks! I really enjoyed sitting with my coffee and watching the live chat today. It was like going out with a group of friends for tea! Here are a couple more cups for you!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for watching!
I love that your mind went to "fix" and not "trash". It's hard when what you have to work with at the start isn't necessarily the best quality. You made this beautiful and gave it another chance!
My mind always goes to fix, if it in any way can be! Most of the pieces I work on aren't antique quality pieces, they're overlooked pieces headed nowhere good. Thanks for watching!
I love how warm and organic the Odie's oil makes the pine look 😍 you have real instinct for choosing the perfect finish for each project.
Thanks so much! 😊
Magic as usual.
Thank you!
Aah, a Natcho cameo!
Thanks for watching!
The square pegs in the round holes is really a head-scratcher. I appreciate the rec for a wood filler you like since I've never used that brand. Huge improvement to the bench, which I'm sure will serve you well now.
You're very welcome - I hope you like it. Thanks so much for watching!
I really like this piece. While it’s not really old or special, the refinish gives it a new vibe of old world rustic farmhouse. It seems like an old family piece used by generations. It’s great,❤
Thank you very much!
Loving, LOVING💕 the initial music with today's video. The bench looks tidy and serviceable now. Hopefully it will hold together for a while until you're ready to retire it.
Thanks! I like to mix it up every now and then. :-)
Great transformation wow take care of yourself
Thanks for watching! 😊
That epitomises the shabby chic school of furniture. Love it. Of all your work, I think that is your most appreciable transformation. Like the cat, all warm and cuddly.
Thank you so much!
Totally different bench…it’s beautiful now! Thanks for showing us your country side…beautiful scenery!
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching!
You have to have the mind of an engineer to do the work you do. You have to have a concept of structure and just how a piece was originally made to fit together. I loved the drive in the woods. What beautiful scenery. I did not realize you were still trying to maintain your tattoo shop though. When in the world do you and Andrea have any time to share fun things? Don't overdo, Angie. It's my belief that you have only one life. Don't neglect time for you and the people you love. I have to let you know that Nacho looks so much like a sweet kitty we had for 19 years. Our kitty was named Elmo. It was hard to let him go. He was such a character.
My tattooing is almost done - I'm just finishing up existing clients and I'm through with that chapter. Thanks for watching!
I've ordered the Bahco cemented carbide scraper!!! It work amazingly well. I finally moved into my new house, now to find old furniture to make it my own 😍 you are a wealth of information!
Yay! A new video!
Thanks for watching!
Love that the finished bench matches Nacho's fur. 😻
Thanks for watching!!!
Your patience and attention to detail in all your work is to be applauded, thank you for sharing your talent
I absolutely enjoyed this video! The bench turned out amazing and I am sure that it will last for many years with the alterations you made to it. It now looks like the way it was intended to look, the color is amazing, very rustic. Odies Oil for the win!
Nacho did a great job of supervising, maybe there could be a Nacho's master class on proper supervising techniques. 😻
Oh goodness can you imagine? Mr Hernandez's Class of Decorum and Supervisory Techniques 😆😆😺I'm so glad you enjoyed it, thanks so much for watching!
Ok I have so many praises for this project! This piece is not “ high end “ yet you took so much time and care to make it useful again! Every single piece of furniture kept out of a landfill is a victory for Mother Earth! Full on repair , reconstructed and then refinished … what a happy ending for a piece that someone else would have burned or thrown away . 🎉
Thank you so much for understanding my mission! ❤️
I think it looks great! Especially for something so oddly made. And thank you for taking us on your "logging road retreat" that was really beautiful!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it, I love it back there. Thanks for watching!
Really beautiful! I love the soft tones the finish has now. The harshness of the factory finish doesn't seem to really suit the bench now after seeing it transformed.
It’s a massive difference, isn’t it?? It much prefer the new look- it looks actually more like old beams to me than it did before! I’m going to go watch your new video now! ❤️
Your voice is so soothing and your content so thorough. I love how you take old broken pieces and make them whole again. You’re quite the artist!
Thank you so much!
Always love your transformations, especially when you take something that looks hopelessly wrecked and turn it into something wonderful. Lack of quality in the piece is no barrier for your talents. And glad you are taking the time for self care. Winter is beautiful. p.s. Nacho definitely loves your work!
Thank you so much, again. ❤️
The new color helps a lot.looks a lot better. 26:17
Thank you kindly!
@@TranscendFurnitureGallery you’re doing
It looks great, and I bet the entire shop smells GLORIOUS too!
Thanks so much for watching!
I've watched quite a few videos on restoring and repurposing furniture and I have to say you do a seriously professional job. That is probably why I watch more of your videos than other presenters. You also explain what you are doing and why you are doing it in a very clear manner. I'm so glad I got a break from my own work so I could catch up on your videos.
I'm so glad you could caught up too, I always look forward to your comments. I really appreciate the kind words. Thanks so much for watching!
You are amazingly talented and wonderful teacher. I have learned so much with every video. Looking forward to the next.
Thank you kindly!
Not only is the bench beautiful,so is your kitty!
Thanks so much for watching!
It looks quite charming now, and obviously carries the Nacho seal of approval. 😄
Thanks for watching!
I’ve got/had a few pieces of Wicker Emporium. Hardwood of some sort - not consistent throughout the construction. At least they’re wood. The craftsmanship leaves something to be desired: but hey, you can’t have it all. I suspected the wood was reincarnated from construction debris. I love the warm toast colour you mixed for it too. Complements Natcho’s coat well. Once again, a hopeless piece turned into a lovely, useful item.
Thank you so much for watching Amie!
Wonderful job!! Love the lighter color!! And the snow shots were beautiful!!
Thanks for watching!
Great job. Pine can be really difficult to stain and make it look good compared to 'obviously stained pine'. Excellent.
And thank you for showing us the forest in winter, monochromatic beauty.
Happy you were able to post this. Hope you are OK. I so enjoy watching these videos.
We survived the Polar Vortex visit of 2023! Thanks so much for watching!
What strikes me about your videos (other than the stunning results) is your genuine care for the piece you’re working on and your apparent love for the craft. Even this “short-term fix” ends up looking gorgeous and so full of life 😍
And hearing you talk about your self care practice and mental health - watching your videos is part of my self care practice. I find them so calming and taking a break to watch something beautiful being lovingly created is a great de-stresser. So thank you so much for the beautiful work you create and the content you produce of it ❤🙏
Thank you so much for such a wonderful comment! I'm so glad you're enjoying my content. ❤️
You have made me think about why I like pine. It's a combination of things. 1- the strange, uneven and often gnarly grain patterns are a kind of abstract beauty for me. I also love hickory because each piece is so individual. But pine isnt nearly so sophisticated and artsy. Its gutsy and robust in texture. It fits with the rustic architecture I enjoy. 2- Most of all, since I live in a grain growing area and see 200 year old hardwoods plowed over, Shoved into big holes, Burned and covered with dirt to make way for subdivisions, I mourn those big old trees, and every piece made of the more renewable pine is one less bit of demand for scarce hardwood. None of that applies to you because you work so hard to use the old, rather that purchase new hardwoods. Even a lowly pine bench turns beautiful in your hands. I love seeing what you can do. The bench is better now than it was before. Thank you, Angie.
Thank you very much for the kind words Cassondra, although I will say the mental image of those beautiful old trees burning makes me sad. We're so abusive to this planet and the resources on it. Thanks so much for watching and thank you for appreciating wood in all its natural wonder!
In addition to your as always fascinating transformation, I really enjoyed the music.
Thank you! I generally have two “sets” of music… slow and relaxing, kind of ambient style, and then this more country/bluegrass/bluesy style. I like them both, for different reasons, but this music seemed to suit this video subject better. :-)
beautiful rework always remenber "you are enough" thank you
Thanks for watching!
First… I love Nacho! He’s a Hemmingway cat! Second… I love how you explain everything as you go, even if stuff happens and the plan has to change! Awesome job!
Yay! Thank you! 😺
I love the piece even with the imperfections! Gives it character.
Thank you so much!
Angie, I think you do a fantastic job, both in your beautiful work with furniture and in creating your videos. Would love to see more of you, Nacho, and bunnies.
Thanks so much for watching!
Your instructions are so easy to follow, I appreciate that.
I'm so glad. Thanks for watching!
It looks so much more rustic now, those square pegs in the round holes even look like old nail heads! The colour design looks more purposeful than the original stain. You sure live near a beautiful part of your country, glad you are breathing that in. Much love, look forward to the next toobs!
Thank you! Cheers!
You weren't thrilled with it's construction yet you treated it like family. Beautiful from all aspects. ❤
Thank you! 🤗
Amazed by the number of clamps used @9:14! I love natural pine and the bench with all its dowels, marks, etc. once sanded. Your voice is very soothing and I enjoy the atmosphere of your videos. Watching this morning with coffee! A nice way to wake up. :)
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for watching!
Thank you for always being creative & inspiring with your work. 😊 Seeing this video has given me a greater affection for the beauty & simplicity of pine. Who'da thunk a bit of thoughtful care could be so transformative? ❤
You're so welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for watching!
I learned a lot about stains and oils in this video, thank you
You're so welcome, I'm glad I could help!
Turned out beautiful, like usual Angie! And to those that are disrespectful regarding a person’s personal choice, you should be ashamed of yourselves. You know the old saying “if you can’t say anything nice don’t say anything at all”… that’s your lane. People need to mind their own business. Love your work Angie…and your ❤
Thank you kindly!
Nacho is the best staging model! Beautiful transformation of the bench.
Thank you kindly! 😺
It turned out great. I really like the new stain color. Your videos are so relaxing.
That self care drive was absolutely stunning!!!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it, we have some really beautiful scenery here. ❤️Thanks for watching!
Nacho is getting so big! He's so cute! I do love the way the bench turned out, the weathered looks is awesome!
Isn't he growing fast? He's going to be a big boy! I'm so glad you like how it turned out, thanks so much for watching!
Your interlude was fabulous and refreshing for me! Your videos are always great fun but this one had the added bonus.😊
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
I think when you're done tattooing, if you repurpose the wood you might regret it. It's a nice momento from that chapter in your life
Thanks for watching!
I love watching you work. You restore some gorgeous furniture to it's former glory and even the less than gorgeous pieces end up looking fantastic.
Very informative and as a big fan of MCM furniture it's been very helpful of you to discuss the painting controversy as you tackle each piece. I have a better understanding of why some flippers would resort to paint. It's also just where they are in "their journey" as you explained. I love that way of thinking. And I promise not to engage in arguments with the "paint-it crowd" . 😂
I also love tattoos and polydactyl kitties. Nacho is wonderful! I have some fun ink and a magnificent polydactyl tuxedo guy with extra toes front and back. His name is Flapjack. 💕
Thank you for your awesome content. I'm really glad to have discovered your channel.
Flapjack is such a great name! You sound like a kindred spirit. 😊 Thanks so much for watching and I'm so glad you find my content informative! ❤️😺
Great video! Love when you use odies, it always looks so good, natural and smooth! And nacho matches it😍😍
Yes he does! Thanks so much for watching!
That carpenter pencil trick for sanding is genius! ❤️
I'm glad I could suggest it to you. 😊 Thanks so much for continuing to watch Aileen!
Incredible how this went from something that didn't look like real furniture to a table that looks pretty great! Wow!
Thanks so much!
I enjoy watching you create the perfect stain. Great save for a poorly constructed bench.
Thank you so much for watching! 😀
Love it, it shows all its history but with a new coat. Beautiful .
Thanks for watching!
This turned out so beautiful. I love the color, the grain, the over all rustic vibe. Great job, I want one!
Thank you very much!
I loved the winter scenery. This is my first year living somewhere w/out a “real” winter and I have missed the snow SO MUCH. The footage you shared definitely also brought me some inner peace ☮️
We haven't gotten much snow at all this year as of yet (knock on wood) it's been a strange winter. Thanks so much for watching!
I really love what you've done with the bench. That color looks so much nicer than the original color.
It looks fantastic now.
Thanks a bunch!
I was hoping your reveal would be a row of bums on the bench. Looks cool!
I like what you did with the bench! I'm not all that fond of pine, but I do like knotty pine, and the grain it has. I also like that you enhanced the grain on the bench. It's beautiful, and looks so natural now!
Thank you very much!
You'd bench turned out beautiful! I personally love the square pegs in the round holes! I'm odd like that! I also love "chunky furniture" , whether solid or simulated! When you go out in the "woods", It's like you and going back to the "birthplace" of all furniture!( the trees!) Great work God Bless!( love your supervisor!)
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that! 😺
A great job Angie. You now have a strong bench with a lovely rustic look. 😻
Thank you so much for watching!
Beautiful job as usual.
I love your channel, as you can see from my daily comments. 😊 You are so creative, skillful, and charming & you take the time to teach your viewers about what you are doing. Thank you.
The landscape around you is stunning. Thank you for sharing it. 🩵
You're very welcome! I've seen all your comments - and I appreciate every one of them. 😀
The bench looks great and in matches Natcho.
Right! Same tones! Haha
Hi, Angie. I enjoyed learning about wood inserts & the double bolt technique. I recently wanted to remove hanger bolts so I could sand some legs completely. I used the double bolt technique there, too. You mentioned trying to get out of tattooing & that it won’t be long now. I am excited for your career change! I just retired & I feel peace. Like when you drive into nature. Thank you for sharing yourself & your skills with us. You are wonderful!!
Thank you so much for watching Amy!
LOOOVE the end result. Great work. I hope it lasts another decade for you!
Thanks so much for watching!
Precious polydactyl Nacho. I love orange polydactyl cats. I've had two. Little lovers. As for the much improved bench, I hope we get to see how you repurpose it some day.
He's definitely a lover man at times. Thanks so much for watching!
I love what you did with the bench! I wouldn't change a thing, andni surely wouldn't repurpose for your future project! It's beautiful now😊
Thanks for watching!
sooo glad you changed the colour and made your own Odies super impressive finish no one would think it was an oldie
Thanks for watching!
If you want to repair quirks and dents in solid wood, take the power of water and baste and flood the area for a night. The fibers of the annual rings then straighten up again and the cell structure expands again through the water. Then dry well with a hair dryer (bone dry) and grind. Complete .
Greetings from Germany
I’ve done similar methods for gouges and dents. But in this project, I actually like all the marks and dings. :-)
Wow Angie you did a magnificent job, as you always do. You have that touch. Well done!!😮😮❤️❤️
Thank you so much for watching!
Thank you for another great restoration. The bench is wonderful. I have pine that needs stripping and would have gone straight in with 80. Now I know different. Thank you.
I'm glad I could help. Thanks so much for watching!
Thank you Angie I've learned a lot from you and your work ethic is off the chart, I'm sure it gives you grief until you master whatever you're facing uhg lol. Anyway I'm so glad you started a channel you have so much to give 😊 ty
Thank you so much for the kind words Rachael!
You've done a great job turning a beat up horrible looking thing into something great. Liked the little breakout into nature too. Looks like sasquatch country.
Thanks for watching!
Kitty's seal of approval...don't get better then that. I'm lovin it too.
I'm so glad. Thanks so much!
Wow that turned out great! Nice job!!!
Glad you like it! Thanks very much for watching!
I love the very rustic look you have given this piece and can't believe you will use it for scrap in a few months😭.
Also... Nacho 😻😻😻! TFS :)
Due to the flaws in the construction it would never last long term for this purpose. It will last as long as I need it to though and then I can repurpose the wood for something else to again give it another chance at life. Thanks for watching!
Looks ONE HUNDRED PERCENT better! Utilitarian and attractive.
Thank you very much!
TH-cam keeps sending me back into your old vids and I like that!! Tattooist huh, another outlet for your creativity, thats nice, I like what you do with the furniture... colors and styles I wouldnt think of...thats called inspiration right...Thanks Angie PS Always nice to see Taco and your bunnys when we can
Nacho loves being on screen!! 😊 Thanks so much for watching!
A beautiful turn around. The simplicity of the piece along with its history adds to the beautiful. This is what I'm been thinking of for my place.
Thanks for watching!
Wow wow wow that came out a hundred times better than the original version 🎉🎉🎉❤
Thanks so much for watching!
I love the natural color you gave it, I would place my live plants on it. As always you do great restored works on wood pieces. Oh by the way that stream looked so peaceful to watch.
Thanks so much for watching Mary!
Loved what you did! Also really loved the winter interlude. What a great self care idea!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for watching!
I prefer the original color - since pine isn't very attractive on its own, but - wow - another quality restoration! Your talent never ceases to amaze me!
Thanks for watching!
Your efforts to repair the bench came true!!! Everything is great!!!
Thank you!
Oh man, I really enjoyed your drive in the country, it was just magical. The bench is a real winner, you’ve totally improved on the original. I predict that it has a lot more life in it now, more than a year for sure.
Thank you so much! 😀
Wow, you really made that bench look so much better than it was! Love your stain mixing process. Where i work we used to do stain matches but it got to be quite too kuch and people can be very demanding. Not one would understand that different woods takes stains differently, but they wanted their dark oak stain the look the same on poplar as it does on oak. God forbid if they had red oak vs white oak! We got tired of the arguments and stopped matching stains. Some of the wood trim I'm currently seeing is birch n poplar fused together! Not sure why thats being done but I know ill never buy it for inside trim of any place I live. Anyway, love Nacho and your videos including your fur babies in them. I also love that you take a break and go for a drive when needed! Self care is extremely crucial! Sending positive vibes to you and loving your videos!
I'm convinced some people just want to argue, I don't think it matters much to them if they're right or not. They just thrive off it. Thank you again for a great comment!

Angie! Your bench turned out so handsome! I think Nacho was inspecting it out to see if the color coordinated with his fur, don't you? The original construction was doubtless by some tiny elves who had too much grog before and during building the bench. The polka dot look from the knots is really cute. I hope you get to enjoy it for a long time, even if you are no longer doing tats. 🥳🧡
I'll repurpose the wood into something else when I'm done tattooing. 😊 Thanks for watching!
I found you here on TH-cam, and I love watching you transform old pieces. The way you go into detailed work is satisfying to watch. You are an inspiration. Keep up the good work. I am a new subscriber and looking forward to seeing your videos.
Welcome aboard! I'm really glad you found me! Thank you so much for watching!
