That buffet turned out to be a one in a million piece. For a guy who says, “”I’m not a wood worker.” You’ve got mad skills. What a transformation! Great job, that piece will bring happiness to another family for years to come. Fantastic!!!
You are very kind. Thank you Janet
100%
Wonderful work! This is an eye catcher! You must keep it for yourself!
I love your videos and your work. You are delightful and easy to look at. Sometimes it's hard to hear you over the music. Thanks for sharing your great work.
Gorgeous! I love that you did not paint it, it truly shines as a wood piece. So many details to repair, you're patient and thorough.
Thank you Angel
I appreciate that you used stain instead of a solid color like black. The wood grain is so beautiful. You sir, are an artist!
The patience you gave to this piece is astounding! And I felt a measure of kindness in your care as you met each wobble, ding, gash, crack, scratch... It looks fabulous. Wow!
Thanks Alex 🥰
Artistry, Vision, and a great deal of common sense, and experience doesn't hurt. You are a MASTER. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Thank you and you are very welcome 🤗
I’m so glad you picked it up! You brought it back from the dead. Thanks for hosting, Karol!
You are very welcome. Love your piece👌
Wow, just wow. Again, you have turned firewood into a beautiful piece of furniture. That veneer fix turned out perfectly.
Thank you Jane. 🥰
That turned out beautiful. I have to say, I was a little worried you might paint it, or change the legs/hardware, because even though there is painted furniture I do really like, there are certain pieces I cringe at seeing them painted, or changed a great deal in order to update. This was a piece I am very happy you went with restoration.
Well done!
Thank you! 😊
I love that you didn’t paint it! It looks stunning 😍
Thank you! 😊
I love how you show how you repair everything!!! I’m working on an old Secretary desk!! The wood glue and saw dust was was so helpful to me!! Thanks so much!! Wow the buffet is stunning 🤩 love the Different colored wood!!
Glad it was helpful! and thank you ;-)
Am really curious as to the real age of this piece!
The creativity our loving Creator bestowed on us is marvelous and amazing. You prove this true with every video I see. Magnificent job.👏🏽
Super gorgeous! There's nothing like solid oak furniture - my favorite by far. The wood grain on this piece is stunning. You did a great job giving this buffet a new life. Cheers from Oklahoma, USA.
That’s very kind. Thank you 🙏
I love seeing the whole process from start to finish. Your repairs are very good. The final reveal was stunning!
Thank you! Cheers!
Amazing love this. You certainly put your heart and soul into this❤️
Yes I did ☺️ and thank you 🙏
Thank you for respecting the real feature of the wood. It's BEAUTIFUL.
It’s so nice seeing worn wooden pieces given a new life, instead to being tossed. You do fine work.
You did a beautiful job in restoring this piece of furniture. You have a special touch that I like😍🙋🏼🇺🇸
Holy cow what a transformation! It looks so rich and beautiful. You did a fantastic job of saving this piece.
Thanks so much! 😊
Jay, I am skipping around, trying to catch up with some of your past videos. I think that this is my favorite so far. I love the way you honored the history of this piece by letting her imperfections show, but giving her new life as well. She is beautiful!
And thanks again for hosting, this was so much fun!
Yes, stressful but fun. Thanks for your video. Love the walnut top. Don’t think I’ll be trying it though. I’m not very good with painting 😂
@@Flippingdrawers aw, thanks! I bet you could get the hang of it 😀
You did an incredible job restoring this piece!
You literally gave new life to a piece that otherwise would probably end-up as firewood. That style buffet would make an outstanding bathroom vanity. Add vessel sinks/faucets and it's perfect. Or it could be a beautiful addition to any formal dining room or Great Room. Your repairs were 'spot-on'. As a result your buffet probably has another 50+ years of functionality. (I noticed your attention to insuring the buffet was thoroughly cleaned and prepped. Truly proud workmanship every time!)
That is very kind 🙏 I do try 😉
Syringe fart- Excuse me🤣😂🤣😂 Your humour is uncanny!! It's amazing how you take something broken and tattered and turn it into this...Amazing and a real stunner!!
ha haggled you enjoyed it ;-) thanks mate !
Wow, what a difference!
You gave that a whole new gorgeous life!! Nicely done, Jay!
Thank you 😊
Wow awesome job on this restoration! Love the dark tones you kept to make the light areas pop 👍🏽
Thanks 🙏 I like to keep it simple and natural
Bless your heart for not succumbing to the recent trend to paint anything that is a challenge. The natural wood tones on this piece are perfect. Bravo!!
Well said! thank you Mary Kay ;-)
Jay, it is gorgeous! You are a problem solver and you have patience. That is what makes you stand out. Love it!!!! Sherry
Thank you so much sherry. I do try ha ha Your piece was really cool too.
Absolutely fabulous. You are getting better with each makeover. Just stunning !!!
🤗 Thank you Teresa
I agree
Wow! It is gorgeous, what a painstaking job. Leaving that trim dark was way smarter than trying to strip or sand it down and it looks fabulous! What kind of scraper do you recommend? I want to try that technique.
@@trudyeby464 thank you ☺️ I have 2 scrapers and find that they are good a different jobs. The flat one I personally use more often because it gives me more control.
Beautiful! The color combo really highlights the details on this piece :)
Glad you think so!
Very Good! There is nothing more satisfying than turning a " A gem in the rough" into a attractive piece of furniture!
indeed ! thanks Mark
I love that you preserve & enhance the beauty of the wood whenever possible! Painted furniture can be beautiful but I wish some furniture restorers would respect the origins of the piece & the beauty of the wood as you do.
A beautiful restoration. Artsy and charming.
That’s a very nice comment 🥰
It is indeed and the music “Leaning on the Everlasting Arms” is soothing
Another fabulous piece - just a lot more work involved this time. Great Job !!!
Thanks again Kylie! Gad you enjoyed it ;-)
@@Flippingdrawers i'm sure i read you're also in healthcare, like myself. I'm not sure about you, but i use upcycling as a way to switch off after work - considering the last 2 years in this industry, i think we need it....lol.
"Keep in mind that I'm not a woodworker." Yes you are, and a very good one. This is magic.
You are very kind Margie 🙏
Your tangible frustration during the whole process really paid off-this looks like a museumworthy piece !
Thanks 😊
That's beautiful very classy !!
Glad you like it!
What a beautiful refresh on a wonderful old oak piece. I wonder what would have happened to it otherwise
I know that it was for sale for a long time and no one wanted to buy it. Thank you ☺️
You truly turned it from trash to treasure. I love the way the details pop now 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Yay! Thank you!
After just watching this video Jay. This will be my 12th video on TH-cam. You are a very talented artist and you have done amazing work on your furniture restoration projects.😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
Ficou maravilhoso, também adoro dar vida nova aos móveis .... parabéns!
Hi there. I literally watched all your videos. I love how meticulously u clean and treat all the insides and backs and unders... such a good job. Waiting for the next ones
That’s awesome 🤩 thank you 🙏
I agree with you Beatrice 🌞
I love that you kept the "frames" black/dark. So classy!
Such a beautiful transformation. I think lots of people would have just given up, but your perseverance paid off. Bravo.
Thank you so much!
It is stunning! Great Job 👏🏻
🥰 thanks 🙏
You did such a great job on this wow, beautiful piece
🤩 thank you. It probably still has some of my sweat and tears on it 😂
Absolutely stunning. The craftsmanship in this piece shows that you ARE a woodworker!
That’s very kind
The two-toned look really suits this buffet. I had a little chuckle to myself when you said, "it's time to wax the bottom". 🤣
I am shook!!! I love the way you repaired the side of the piece with that thin piece of wood, glue and saw dust!!!!
Thanks ☺️ it turned out great
This turned out brilliant. You truly did a fabulous job with it. I was just thinking about how you were handling that syringe like a pro 🤣 when you commented. Thanks for sharing.
Ha ha thanks ☺️
Awesome patch job on the side and drawer slide repairs....my dad use to use saw dust and glue, sometimes newspaper ground up really fine....I really appreciate that you try to keep the integrity of the piece....it came out beautifully....just lovely!!!...
Another awesome piece! I love that you left the character in and didn’t try to make it new! Great job!❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! 😊
That is so pretty!!!! excellent job :) I love the way you accented the design features :)
Glad you like it Annie
Wowza! You put so much hard work into this piece and it turned out stunning! Rustic but refreshed. This looks so much like the buffet my grandparents had and I'm loving the nostalgia. Great job!
Thanks 🙏 that was a lot of work… but those are the most satisfying
Love the two tone effect. Beautiful. Thanks for rescuing it!
😲
And you found a matching drawer pull
It was the little back plate that was missing. I decided to go without them.
This was a huge project, congrats on the result. You kept the antique look while making the piece serviceable again.
Thank you ☺️ it has found a new home and happy owners.
You say your not a wood worker, I disagree! You worked that wood beautifully!
Thanks. I do want to learn . I like to try new things
I love this restoration! It's a beautiful piece of furniture that needed some love.
Thank you for this video. I look forward to more of your work.
Thank you very much!
Once again a beauty is reborn! ! ! Well done.
Wow from trash to treasure again, nice work.
I really appreciated your video, especially your treatment of the veneer. You gave beauty back to an old piece and treated it with the respect it deserves.
Wow, thank you 🙏 that’s very kind
For goodness sake. I loved the original, but was infatuated with the restoration! Thanks for a great video😉
I have to say that I love your little friend 💕! The samurai is great! He is obviously a very good guard for your workshop 😉. Thank you for another brilliant video.
Another masterpiece saved by you. Your hard work is much appreciated by this antique lover. TYVM
Thanks ☺️ much appreciated
I’m not gonna lie. I am pretty impressed with myself lol 😂 me too friend me too!!!
Finally, a true restoration, and it turned out beautifully.
Thank you ☺️
What a stunner, I hope you kept this one.
Watching these from a year ago when you were “new to using a table saw” and seeing what you do now, it is amazing to see the progress you’ve made!
ha ha thank you 🥰
I love the wood grain the wax brings out! Such a beautiful piece😊
Absolutely astonishing. You have such a rudimentary workplace. I’ll never complain about mine again.
Ha ha thanks. Hopefully it will change in the near future.
Can’t believe it is the same piece! So glad you saved those chandelier pulls!
Right?! thank you Linda
It still looks old, but it now looks as if it has been well cared for. Good job!
This is an amazing transformation. It looks beautiful and still has the character of a vintage piece. 😍
Very good! From the darkness back to the light!
You are Doing things the way they should be Done!
AND make Furniture look like " A Million Bucks!"
❤️
Your skills grow by the week! Beautiful job.
That’s very kind Gail. I am trying to learn more
You tookma piece of furniture that needed tlc & turned into a beautiful work of art!!!
5 seconds in... omg I love those drawer pulls!
I really like it. It has an early 20th century flavour
I have watched so many of your videos, and so many recent ones... I'm not sure you'll see this comment but you have come SUCH A LONG WAY my friend. You are not only a "wood worker" as you put it, you are well on your way to a master of your craft. Your imagination that you've put into the pieces that you've "rehabbed"(?) Are just exquisite. I commented on one you did a few months back I would have loved to have purchased for my own home. It was the challenge you did with (I forgot his name) but you gave him the purple flower power dresser.. the piece you did.. I think was your best work to date and I feel in love with it. You have so much talent and it's been such a journey to be on with you to see you grow, thank you for bringing us along. 😃
Thank you for watching😊 much appreciated love and support 💛
You are so thorough and patient! It’s beautiful! ❤
Wow,. I personally would have given up and thrown it in my fireplace. Another amazing piece of art!
ha ha ha I know the feeling but it was so worth it ;-)
No your not a wood worker, you are a miracle worker❤
Absolutely gorgeous !!! You saved a beautiful piece of art. God has blessed you with a great talent.
Thank you ☺️
I laughed out loud when you said you were impressed with how you fixed the side panels because I was thinking the same thing! Well done!!
;-) small wins
You say that you are not a professional but I learn so many things with your videos!
Happy to hear that! Thanks Martine
Holy Batman! That is Stuning!
Once again you made a master piece from something that was only fit for to bin.
That's a show stopper! Very nice work!
Very nice. Looks refreshed while still keeping the antique vibe.
Oh my gosh! How beautiful. You truly are an artist! Love the music too. Leaning on the Everlasting Arms ! Every day is a good day if we lean on Jesus!
. . . you vision at first sight turned this very old piece with character and details . . . lots of ♥ and labor you put into it. Memories with my dad using glue and sawdust as a filler - 60 years ago!
cool, thank you ;-)
I absolutely LOVE this! I appreciate your attention to EVERY little detail...inside and out! It truly makes a difference.
Thank you 😊
WOW! Your restoration work continues to amaze me! This is an absolutely stunning transformation! I love that you take these trashed yet beautiful antique pieces and bring them back to life. It's obviously an incredible amount of work, but these kinds of pieces aren't made anymore. You take a piece of history and bring it back to life in a whole new way. BRAVO 👏!!!
You are so welcome and thank you for you kind comment. I love when people appreciate it and understand how much work goes into it. 👌🏼
I love the way this looks with the contrast of the different stains.
Thank you 🙏
Another piece saved and it looks amazing! You're a real repair-craftsman. 💯
I could hear the dry wood calling out for the orange scented bee’s wax. 😁 Beautiful transformation.
😊 thank you Tina! I really like this one
It looks so nice. I think I like it better than if it was completely restored to the original finish. Beautiful 😊
THE BUFFET TURNED OUT REALLY NICE
