Love this video so much! You two are so adorable working together. Definitely going to be looking more closely at every table and chair leg from now on. 🤔 Such a fabulous way to upcycle and make new treasures out of old treasures. Especially special pieces with sentimental value that are now damaged. Nothing is wasted. Brilliant. ❤
I will never look at table legs the same way again! Thank you for sharing this pilot episode with us from the past. It is always a joy to watch you both and I learn something new every time!
It’s interesting to see how in charge and confident Arne seems in this very first pilot…more so than in later videos where he almost seems a bit shy…thanks for sharing
Treasures are found by digging. I would have tuned in for more of Arne and Carlos after seeing this pilot episode. Thank goodness you didn’t let this perfectly imperfect episode stop you from sharing your talents and creativity. You are fabulous, bloopers and all. 🥰
I love recycling/upcycling! Another deconstruction/reconstruction video! Now I will go look at my furniture and see what I can cut up. You two are (and always have been) awesome!
I loved this, and seeing the old days when CArlos could use matches safely! This is a great idea which I am going to pass on to my brothers who do a bit of wood turning and stuff. No table will be safe now! Arne you're sooooo STRONG!!!!!! xxx
Amazing what can be done with a little imagination and interest in a certain craft. Once you decide you like a craft you can find endless items to enhance your craft if you just look with that in mind.
Lol - you guys have NOT aged!!! The candleholders are gorgeous! I’m a fan as well of them. What creative ideas from just one table ! Wish they were for sale …😔just very unique one- of - a- kind.. Really enjoyed watching the ‘ magic’ happen. Thanks guys for bringing enjoyment and inspiration . As always… Love, Marilyn USA ,
What trooper's you were! Often, the beginning of anything is rough. I can't imagine there could have been a less attractive, more chunky piece of wood to try and recycle, but you held strong and persevered. So serious! I'm glad you decided it was okay to laugh and flat out honestly state when things are off. The personality was there. Arne - selling it to the end! Carlos - oh so helpful! Another funny one for the books! Hope you are enjoying your break, and hope to see you Sitting for a Bit soon!
What fun it was to see how your first video was compared to how well you guys do now . Always fun to make something out of nothing. Those table legs were gigantic. I think the little short one looks like a a brandy bottle
Happy anniversary of your U-tube beginning. Glad you stuck with it. I have benefitted greatly from your demonstrations. But most of all the joy you bring is the best.
That was a real treat, to see the beginnings of such a fun series of instructive videos. I freaked out, though, when Carlos put the hot match back into the matchbox….or at least it looked like that was what he did. We all know what happened when he did that before! (or, well, LATER, but you know what I mean)
Okay, you two are so cute, I’m surprised you’re not mobbed on a regular basis. Arne is very prominent in this one. He usually hangs back at the beginning and then emerges. How wonderful is it to see your beginnings, and see how far you’ve come. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Awww! It was great to see your very beginnings 😊 Takk for sharing it with us. It is more professional looking than you think, though you are all way more ‘slick’ now I think. I have several candle holders that I made the same way about twenty years ago, so no surprise that your channel still appeals to me. Be well, Sally 🌹
You both did so well in this first ever video. I am enjoying it very much. How clever you are. Wow, you're powerful, Arne! You're both so creative - but we already knew this.
hi guys glad to see you i just love the candle sticks you can make out of things what a great idea that saw looks like a great old saw to cut with we had one of them they are great i was happy to see your first pilot thanks ok take care and i will see you on your travels to see kate
This was sooo good to watch. I loved your intro about the table leg ‘find’ and died laughing when Arne pulled out a hand saw to cut the table leg. I thought you’d be there for an hour chopping through that monstrous wood leg. I so appreciate your ease and laughter in your Pilot and think it’s only gotten better. 🙌🏼
Thank you for digging, Erik! What a gem! I appreciate the art of candle making. 🕯️Candles in the home add such a warm (and calming) ambiance. Remember, we have all had to take a first step. Good job on your first step, Arne & Carlos!❤
Arne, i like the hat you wore. I would have never thought of making a candle holder. What a great idea❤. Thank you for a blast from not too distant past
I have made my own candle holders in the past. When I was in the 8th Grade, each female student was required to make a candle (for a grade). I may have enjoyed the process, if I could have been left alone. It is hard to think when so many people are ordering you around (whether they know what they are doing or not). Bullies made Public School no fun at all. My candle did turn out beautiful, despite those who tried to distract me. I received an A+.
How fasinating looking back at your early video's Arne still has his bird nest hair and cheeky grin,Carlos you were ever so professional,how well you both have come on,learning us new things to make,keep it up guys,love watching and learning xx
What an absolute treat this was, I'm so glad you decided to share it and that Eric found it in the archives. I was holding my breath at the end, Carlos, when you lit the match, thinking of the near matchbox fire at Christmas time 😁❤
I think this your first episode is exceptionally good, and thanks for showing it. What a wonderful idea. Makes one think of all sorts of other possibilities with old treasured objects.
❤❤❤❤❤ you guys really made something good out of your “Surprise” table legs!!!! My goodness I laughed so hard when you were trying to get the legs apart! Thank you for never giving up. You are both lovely then and now. Thanks for sharing this gem! Thank you both for you vulnerability. Much love! Have a great week!
You guys are an inspiration - I love your enthusiasm and creativity so much. I'm still at the early stage with my channel and I struggle with showing my old hands on camera (let alone my face! :D ). You and Kate (Last Homely House) have given me a new perspective...it's about being real. xxx
This episode complements your thrift shopping episodes. I think this type of material is a natural extension of your Ideabook. A series of this type would make a great gift.
That was a nice surprise. Thank you for sharing and taking us back in time. Interesting to see how old furniture can be upcycled into useful items for the home. Take care and stay blessed.❤
What a fab recycling idea 🎉 Isn’t great that you are both on the same page with ideas 👏 So much easier with an extra pair of hands to put these ideas in place 🥳
What a lovely blast from the past! You have come a long way since then. Love the idea of upcycling old items and giving them a new, different life! Thank you for sharing!
Great idea showing your first piliot episode as its good to look back and see how far we have come 😊 your house must be such an archieve fablous. Lovely candle sticks
You guys are such good sports, thank you so much for sharing your pilot video. I really enjoyed it, you most certainly have come a long way. Have a great trip. ❤️❤️
That was a treat. Thank you. 😀
That made me smile. Thank you for finding it and sharing it.
What a treat to look back at your “pilot”. You’ve come a long way and have been teaching us and showing us so many new things. Thank you ❤
Delightful! Although I confess I got nervous when Carlos picked up the box of matches…😂
The important things are the same; recycling, easy discussion, optional methods, having fun!

That was fun, thank you all for making and sharing this video!
Those table legs are MASSIVE! Too funny. Thanks for sharing, you are both so cute. ❤

So glad you found this -- and no fingers were harmed in the making of this film!
I love recycling/upcycling! Another deconstruction/reconstruction video! Now I will go look at my furniture and see what I can cut up. You two are (and always have been) awesome!
You two are SOOOO much smoother in front of the camera, now! And I always love the jazzy music choices….🎶❤️
Loved this idea! Thank you, Arne and Carlos!
Loved it… Carlos was still allowed to handle matches 😂
😅😅❤️
I loved this, and seeing the old days when CArlos could use matches safely! This is a great idea which I am going to pass on to my brothers who do a bit of wood turning and stuff. No table will be safe now! Arne you're sooooo STRONG!!!!!! xxx

Oh what a treat to see the very beginning. Great video, with so many great ideas. Thank you. love,hugs,prayers.

The candleholders are gorgeous! I’m a fan as well of them.
What creative ideas from just one table !
Wish they were for sale …😔just very unique one- of - a- kind..
Really enjoyed watching the ‘ magic’ happen.
Thanks guys for bringing enjoyment and inspiration . As always…

Thank you for sharing your pilot. It was a diamond on the rough compared to your videos now. It brought a smile to my face.😊

We just saw a bee go into our Insect Hotel! We are so happy! Thanks ever so for the idea.
Happy anniversary of your U-tube beginning. Glad you stuck with it. I have benefitted greatly from your demonstrations. But most of all the joy you bring is the best.
What a great idea! And it was wonderful seeing your first episode. ❤️
I loved this! What a treat and such fun. Thank you ❤
I LOVED this episode! I watch your channel all the time from the USA. Thank you for sharing your first-ever episode. The BEST!
Thank you for watching!!
Still a great idea to upcycle. Carlos you lit the candle safely!
That was a real treat, to see the beginnings of such a fun series of instructive videos. I freaked out, though, when Carlos put the hot match back into the matchbox….or at least it looked like that was what he did. We all know what happened when he did that before! (or, well, LATER, but you know what I mean)
I love that you use hand tools instead of electric. It keeps your work authentic to the piece. And Arne, you are so gooood with straight cuts!
Thank you Katina!!
Okay, you two are so cute, I’m surprised you’re not mobbed on a regular basis. Arne is very prominent in this one. He usually hangs back at the beginning and then emerges. How wonderful is it to see your beginnings, and see how far you’ve come. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you so much!
That IS a hoot! And it shows the progress made since.
Awww! It was great to see your very beginnings 😊 Takk for sharing it with us. It is more professional looking than you think, though you are all way more ‘slick’ now I think. I have several candle holders that I made the same way about twenty years ago, so no surprise that your channel still appeals to me. Be well, Sally 🌹
Wow, you guys come a long way. Table candle holder reminds me of 60s/ 70s alcohol bottles, or I dream of Jeannie bottle. Thanks for showing.
Carlos - I can't believe you opened with "we live in quite a cold country" - you are always so adamant that Norway isn't cold!
This is a great episode. Thanks for these tips. I love candle holders. I have a few, but I never made them myself. What a great idea 💡! Thank you 😊.
The candleholders are so beautiful…I would never think of using legs but it’s beautiful….
You both did so well in this first ever video. I am enjoying it very much. How clever you are. Wow, you're powerful, Arne! You're both so creative - but we already knew this.
Thank you, it has been very strange to see it again!
Totally enjoyed this !!!!! And actually really do like the large table legs used as candle holders!! What a great idea!!
Fabulous sweaters chaps! Gorgeous blue shades.
hi guys glad to see you i just love the candle sticks you can make out of things what a great idea that saw looks like a great old saw to cut with we had one of them they are great i was happy to see your first pilot thanks ok take care and i will see you on your travels to see kate
I think you did a great job with you first diy. It is perfect.
Oh my goodness. “Baby” Arne and Carlos are my new favorites.
I love that Arne answer has always been "We will see" and the little smile.
This was sooo good to watch. I loved your intro about the table leg ‘find’ and died laughing when Arne pulled out a hand saw to cut the table leg. I thought you’d be there for an hour chopping through that monstrous wood leg. I so appreciate your ease and laughter in your Pilot and think it’s only gotten better. 🙌🏼
This is great to see. Arne looking like Frank Sinatra in that hat, so cool. Carlos didn't set a fire lol.
Thank you for digging, Erik! What a gem!
I appreciate the art of candle making. 🕯️Candles in the home add such a warm (and calming) ambiance.
Remember, we have all had to take a first step. Good job on your first step, Arne & Carlos!❤
I’m laughing now as I think of your nearly burning down the place with matches and candles!! I love candles in winter. 👍
Lovely to see this! Thank you.
Beginning of something wonderful.
Thank you to Eric for Digging this out. Great video boys.
Thank you Claire
Thank you. Great episode.
Arne, i like the hat you wore. I would have never thought of making a candle holder. What a great idea❤. Thank you for a blast from not too distant past
Thank you it was cool to see your pilot episode. Loved the candle holders
You guys are so cute! DIY projects are great. What a classy little set up you have there! :D

I'm a big fan of up-cycling ❤ Love this episode 💚

I loved seeing you both from 2015. Fantastic video. You were pros from the start 🕺🏽🕺🏽
This episode is a cracker. Rough around the edges yes but showing clear signs of what was to come. Loved it.
I really enjoyed watching this pilot episode!
What an absolute treat this was, I'm so glad you decided to share it and that Eric found it in the archives. I was holding my breath at the end, Carlos, when you lit the match, thinking of the near matchbox fire at Christmas time 😁❤
What a gem to see this is so fun. Ty for airing it:)

Thank you so much!!
Thank you, that is a good way to reuse materials. It would cost a fortun to buy those candleholders
Toi guys look great! So handsome. Love the idea. Good job to dig this one up.

Isn’t great that you are both on the same page with ideas 👏
So much easier with an extra pair of hands to put these ideas in place 🥳
Adorable 🐰 ❣️
This looks like fun. You both were naturals at this from the very beginning.
Thanks for sharing. ❤
Was a great Pilot and look at both of you now, like old pros.
Well worth digging through the archives for! Loved it!
Very very clever love all the candle holders they are amazing! Thank you as always! Xx 💜🧶🧦💜
