It is so satisfying to watch you create those bases. They really are incredible!! The walnut veneer is so gorgeous, too. I’m so glad it wasn’t damaged when you stripped it. Amazing job. You have my vote!🙌❤️
OH MY GOSH!!! I can't believe you made that base from scratch!!! Guuurrlll, you got skills! :) They are both spectacular in their own way, but I just love how unique and eye-catching yours is!
That was the most amazing transformation of a piece I have seen in a long time. Absolutely wonderful. I would never have believed the finished product and the original black cabinet were the same piece. Never! You've gotten yourself a new subscriber...I can't wait to check out your other videos.😊😊
Fantastic job with your interpretation of the very expensive inspiration piece. Your skill set differently showed in the out come of the base. Excellent restoration and modernizing this bar cabinet💖💖💖💖
I love the wood grain, which means I like yours better. That base is a work of art, which should up the price. I do really like the drawer on the other piece though. Excellent work all around. Live your channel!
You hit the jackpot with that pretty wood hiding underneath that black paint!! And I’m so jealous of how organized your scrap wood is!! I loved watching your bandsaw work. That’s the one tool I have yet to start using but it looks extremely useful. Curious what kind of bandsaw you have and if you like it? The cabinet is stunning, truly a one of a kind piece!
Thank you so much! We just moved into this space, so we’ll see how long it stays organized 😆. A bandsaw is such a game-changer, you won’t regret getting one! I have the WEN bandsaw, which is a great entry-level option if you’re looking for something more affordable. I usually start with budget-friendly tools to see how much I’ll actually use them, and then upgrade to something higher-end once the first one wears out. I’ve had this one for about a year and am still using the original blade it came with. The only issue I’ve run into was the adhesive on the rubber piece between the wheel and the blade giving out, but it was an easy fix with some new adhesive. Since then, it’s been working perfectly!
Veneer comes in various thicknesses, so it’s important for anyone sanding it to use their own discretion. In my video, I started with 120 grit and then decided, based on my own judgment, to go down to 80 grit. As you can see from the final results, no veneer was harmed, damaged, or blown through. Regarding your comment about saws, it should go without saying that safety and discretion are key when using any tool. That’s exactly why I demonstrated what not to do in a panic situation and emphasized the importance of stepping back to assess for a safe and effective solution. I hope you had the chance to watch the video in its entirety before commenting. It pretty much covers these points.
@thecolibri... I did watch the entire video, and I should have stated the the end result was impressive. You are correct about discretion in method and choosing sanding grits. I just don't choose 80 grit on veneer. I tend to work on older pieces with a eye for refinishing, or refreshing. I do a lot of hand sanding. I learned from my grandfather. As to the saws...they're your fingers, Darla n'! In truth, I carry a healthy respect/fear of saws, lol. You, on the other hand, are fearless! Forgive me if my comment was reactionary and lacked grace. I have been known to speak before thinking. Cheers and Happy Holidays!

You amaze me. You must have been a whiz kid in geometry class.
Awe, thanks! It was actually my favorite out of all the "math" classes 😂
❤
Yours is much better
Haha, thank you! 🤎
80 grit on veneer...the methods you employ with saws...hopefully beginners aren't emulating your methods and practices.
Veneer comes in various thicknesses, so it’s important for anyone sanding it to use their own discretion. In my video, I started with 120 grit and then decided, based on my own judgment, to go down to 80 grit. As you can see from the final results, no veneer was harmed, damaged, or blown through.
