    Those legs are incredible. They make these nightstands what they are…a piece of real design work.

    I'm glad you made sure to include that information - Ariel would've been VERY confused otherwise. Now mermaids everywhere can breathe a sigh of relief. 🙏

    Not only are you great at transforming furniture, you are also a great videographer/video editor. The amount of skill here is wild

      I just said this on a separate video! I restore furniture too and have recorded them but I just don’t have the patience for editing. I just dumped them all onto a flash drive where I’m sure they will remain forever 😂

    Upon unboxing, I was immediately upset at how the rails were very noticeably bent. But I kept going, all tools needed to assemble were included th-cam.com/users/postUgkxqtX4Dxs6aecAZEuz6GY5-d81YecKCshn and I had it set up in about 30 minutes. Honestly I love this thing, make sure to read the measurements and measure your space so you know if it'll work for you. I bought this to put inside my closet, underneath where I hang my clothes and it is absolutely perfect! It is VERY sturdy and all drawers glide easily and mine are stuffed, and they are still flush when closed.

    Ok, so this has to be my favourite project of all of yours so far. The production of your videos is absolutely superb and your craftsmanship is second to none. Hats off to you, Andy, once again. 👌👏
    So glad I found your channel right at the very beginning. Watching your projects evolve over time has been amazing 🙌 Bright blessings as ever, from me on the Somerset coast 🇬🇧

    I just love how the legs give the body of the nightstand more depth and shape. The blue paint and dark stain wood completed the puzzle to this project. I love your eye of imagination and creativity. It definitely shows that you plan beforehand and the results are out of this world.

    this is a guy that reinvests in himself he has all the gear and when he mentions he got this or that piece from the roadside pickup that's brilliant it brings in another type of viewer great videos close to perfect

    honestly watching these videos is just incredibly helpful for people (such as myself) that like to take on furniture or home makeovers. I feel like im learning a lot just watching you work and how careful you are to conserve what can be preserved.

    I am always thrilled to see you've posted a video. For such a young man, your pride in your craftsmanship is wonderful to see. It makes me proud for you at the same time. Great job on this transformation. I was sad to see so much painted but the wood grain accents you added really gave them a classic appeal. ❤

    A fantastic metamorphose (for Not saying Transformation as the comment bellow). And the most enviable is how you keep your hands delightfully manicured while making that work.

    Great end pieces, but I'd love to see you do something like a writing desk with a fold down lid. My great-grandfather's desk is a converted church organ with felt and leather lining, and it's a spectacular piece of furniture I'm excited to have passed on to me one day. These furniture remodel videos are always so soothing to watch, or even just have them on in the background while I work. They may be power tool sounds, but for some reason, the way you film these videos very zen. Love it!

  • @yaja_nowakowski
    @yaja_nowakowski ปีที่แล้ว +2

    These are seriously elegant pieces of well crafted furniture now. Such a great job again, Andy. I can tell you love doing this work, through the thinking you put into it and no doubt an enormous amount of patience. I wonder if this is a kind of meditation for you.

    I love the mid-century modern take on this piece of furniture and the mix of paint and wooden elements are beautiful together. The teal paint is gorgeous and works really well with the wooden pieces. I would buy these bedside tables.

    @hanna3685 2 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    i love wood working and refurbishing videos but i have to say the way you film these and the “simple” seeming edits are just so beautiful and immersive, it shows me the love not only for the furniture but the process and it keeps me coming back to your videos for more than a year now. it makes me so happy to think that people/you do these great things with their lives and let us all have a peak at it. thank you

  • @patsyshafchuk5368
    @patsyshafchuk5368 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    The whole time you were making the legs I couldn't picture what you intended to do. On the finished nightstands, they look as though they have always been there, and any other design would ruin the perch effect. Simple, clean, elegant, and beautiful. Thank you!

  • @stevesoldwedel

    Another transformation from the master! As a little girl in the 50s I would watch my dad building with his many hand tools in the basement of our Philly row home. I get that same feeling watching you work with your hands. Love the beautiful wood touches; remind me of Danish modern.

    @rockshot100 2 ปีที่แล้ว +16

    Beautiful proportions, the legs are like a dream, I have never seen legs like those. Was it as hard as it looks to get all 8 to match? Guess you didn't have enough of that oak tabletop to do these top? Looks like maybe it would have been too thick anyway. Like how you matched the sheen of the wood with the paint as well. ❤❤❤

    • @1953lili

    I really admire you skill in designing and then building the legs and drawer handles. A 5 degree angle is simply beautiful.
    Not only your wood skills are phenomenal, but also you video skills. Taking the moment to highlight some of your exteriors is really a balm for the soul... 🌹🌹 It must be a nice place to work. Peace and quiet.

    Growing up my parents had heavy, light-colored wood (oak?) nightstands. Years later my mother told me they had been part of a vanity that was taken apart. She didn't say why that was done but I think she did say she regretted doing it. Not sure. Yours, on the other hand was the absolute right thing to do and you did a beautiful job with the nightstands.
