Anyone else smile every time Jay says “hello, beautiful people”? 😊
I love what you did with this- that brass strip is just *chef’s kiss*
Ha ha couldn’t help myself 😊 I love brass. Thanks Angie ❤️
I usually reply to him saying "Well hello yourself gorgeous!"
Ha ha hi Emer 😊
Jay, I just love the way you take care of every single detail and that's why I've followed...like I did with TFG!
He’s the best and yes I get a big smile
Oh I love this piece. My Mother back in the 70's had a trolley like that for Sunday tea on the verandah. Scones or crumpets. I think you did an amazing job. Thank you for NOT removing the fabulous wheels. The sound they make means times for treats. I live in South Africa.
Thank you for sharing and for watching ☺️
You were very posh with your verandah! Gorgeous table
"The sound they make means time for treats." 🤗💞
That’s a very sweet story. I love the way you described the sound of the wheels letting you know treats were on the way. ❤💕
Hi there, from the UK. I lived in SA for 48 years, having moved down from Zambia, where I was raised. For as long as I can remember my Mom also had a trolley which we used regularly for sundowners on the verandah and also when visitors arrived.
I loved South Africa and still have a lot of family and friends there.
So satisfying to watch you transform a sad little forgotten tea cart back to better than brand new. I used to apprentice for my grandfather in his workshop next door when I was in high school. He built furniture but left a lot of the restoration work for me which I loved. Watching this video brought back the wonderful smells of woodshavings, mineral oil and his favorite pipe. I'm in my happy place after watching this. Maybe i should take a new look at my garage and make space for restoration!
Great idea. We need to save the old furniture!
Do it!!!
Hello Cathy, Yvonne from Melbourne, Australia here. You are lucky to have such warm feelings and memories of your Grandfather, and sharing a job that creates something special from broken and old things. I hope you have some of his self built items now that he’s gone. And I, myself, think that would be a wonderful thing to do….start resurrecting old or damaged furniture. Perhaps you could do what Jay does and have your own channel where we could watch your creations/ restorations and barrack for you. I just love fixing things that others would gladly throw away, but my projects are usually sewing or mending. Any saved object has its own vale, both for the repair-person and the end user! Go for it, girl😊❤️🦘
@yvonnepagan9912 yes I do!! I have a grandmother clock that he built from a cherry tree that he picked out himself. I have a round colonial table that transforms into a chair. Both items I was there to watch and learn from him. I have a couple things that I found at flea markets that I restored. I love wondering about the craftsman that built them and the family that owned them. Our Savior was a carpenter! What's not to love about that?! And I, like you, mostly work with sewing and crochet and a wide variety of crafts. I'm a jack of all trades and master of none! So wonderful to hear from someone on the other side of the world!
Wow! Looks beautiful! So refreshing to see people restoring furniture and not just painting it. That brass strip is a real crown jewel on a simple piece!
Thanks for watching ❤️
I so agree!
I love to see pieces like that saved and made beautiful again! From literally dumped by a bin to a piece anyone would b proud to put in their living room thanks to you talent and hard work!
Very kind of you 🥰
Obsessed! So glad you kept the wheels, they are what make it special. I am learning SO much from watching you, some new tool every video! Thanks for being a great 'teacher'! :)
Thank you for watching 🤗
So beautiful.

Gorgeous. I’m a 74 yr old widow and in process of making a workshop next to pool so I can watch grandkids while renewing old or abandoned things. Keep up the good videos.
Hello Vicki, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??
You can actually feel how happy the wood was when you applied the Feed and Wax. A nice job, imagine how many afternoon teas were enjoyed off of this little cart and now because of you thousands more!
Thank you 🥰🎄
So true @Shackman66. Old things have soo much history behind them!!
What a beautiful little table! I love that you took something most people would have dismissed as unsalvageable and breathed new life into it!
Thanks for watching ❤️
Absolutely beautiful!! It's great to see something actually restored instead of painted.
Astounding transformation, absolutely beautiful and the brass inlay lifts it into a whole new league.
This is so beautiful! I was glad to see the piece really restored and not painted. The inlay was the perfect finishing touch. Bravo!
Oak is such a beautiful wood. Your TLC with your projects really stands out and makes them shine. I know what you mean about prepping the backs and undersides. My grandmother did needlework all her life, and the back of her embroidery was as perfect as the front. That was an early lesson I learned and it has served me well, many times over. I really enjoy your channel and your gentle sense of humor. Thank you!!!
That’s very kind of you as always 😊 thank you 🙏
You do such incredible work. I have refinished some pieces of old furniture that in the course of my work, I have found that it was made by father or grandfather. I have then asked them about the history ( before they had passed) and found out
that usually it had been made as a school project. It is fun to see their skill progress as they make more things. They started with basic boxes and went on from there. I now have a metal trunk from when my great grandmother immigrated from Germany in the 1880's. Do you have any suggestions as to how to proceed with this? Thank you for sharing your artistry wit th rest of us.
when I saw it was oak, I sweee'd.
Well I love this. The brass inlay a touch of genius. Great job.
Thanks Jonathan ;-)
What a stunning transformation! I imagine a retail price for something unique like this would be quite high. The skill level required to do this must be incredible.
In which we meet Hugo! I'm currently going back and watching all the videos in chronological order, and it's absolutely fascinating to see the progression. I love how you sometimes refer to your wooden "patients" as little old ladies or gentlemen , and I'm sure that same empathy made you a wonderful health-care worker. 🤗
Though I'll never do furniture restoration, I believe that creativity feeds creativity, and you are SO creative!
Thanks for giving us so many hours (days, weeks, months) of delightful inspiration.
Sand on! 😉
Ha ha scary thought lol but thank you ;-)
You did a magnificent job bringing back to life this cart. The brass strip was a smart move. Excellent taste!
That’s absolutely amazing! This tea cart is right down my alley I’ve been looking for one for a long time and can’t find anything but metal junk. What a treasure to find on the side of the road maybe I’ll get us lucky someday. Good job with the redo. It looks amazing
This poor little trolley needed a lot of work and you were the right person for the job! Your attention to every detail and adding your own creative touches make the piece special! I love the brass unicorn that adorns your finished projects. Thank you for allowing me to watch you work😊
Thanks for watching 💛
The finished product is sublime. Each piece of wood absorbed the stain in such gorgeous hues of walnut. You've taken a utilitarian work horse of furniture and elevated it to stand gracefully on its own. Bravo.
Glad you like it! Thanks for watching 😉
Your workspace is so clean which for me is why I subscribed. I have been an artist all my life, and this my friend is art! The attention to detail, the respect you have for the pieces you work on and, most of all you put a little of your heart and soul into these pieces! Beautiful!
That’s very kind of you. Thank you so much ☺️
You ever had and if not, considered CBT?
Thank you for saying this! My husband and I are both artists and we know what goes into “craft” . Same effort, creativity required.
HAY UN PROVERBIO GRIEGO QUE DICE : * AYUDA AL ORDEN, QUE EL ORDEN , TE AYUDARÁ A TÍ *
Great job! Seeing you take “roadkill” hfurniture and turn it into beautiful items absolutely warms my heart. 🥰
Thank you so much!
I love that expression road kill. 😁
My husband also found an old tea trolley. Someone had painted it with white gloss paint. I stripped it down, veneered it and put A glass top on it. It is now beautiful.
I love to watch these videos because they give such good hints on how to restore these treasures. Thank you for your super videos. I normally stay away from subscribing to videos but this sort of video I consider worthwhile. I haven't seen your channel before but I will watch them again.
Say hi to Hugo for me.
I love the brass accent you added. That really made it look more modern.
That cute folding table was lovingly not only restored to its former glory, but also embelished! Trash to treasure indeed. It was also a pleasure to see such a clean and well organized workspace. Gave you a like and subscribed. Cheers!
Beautiful job! I love to see pieces like this saved from the landfill.
Beautiful work! The grandfathers are looking down and smiling. The brass accent strip is particularly nice, best of luck!
Thank you Joseph
It was actually quite emotional to see you bring that tea trolley back to life.The end result is beautiful; you should be proud of your skills.
Hello Chryseas, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??
I love it when old pieces are saved and restored. The end result was lovely and the brass inlay was a very nice addition.
Thank you 😊
The tea cart is just beautiful! You did a wonderful job.
Thank you 😊
Beautiful work and I am so glad you saved it!
I also say "Hello, beautiful people". Kismet. Glad to have found you, and yes, I liked and subscribed. I love inlay, furniture restoration and attention to detail. You are the trifecta, thank you.
Whoever built that originally used his skill, love, and patience to make a useful thing for a family....I would like to believe that he is looking down now with a smile on his face for you saving it.
I have one of these and I had no idea it was called a tea trolley! Thanks! Your refinishing job is beautiful.
The tea cart came out beautifully! What a small but useful piece of furniture. Could be used in a small home as a little dining table for 2
I didn't really think that piece was recoverable, but you did an amazing job of bringing it back to life. Lovely job!
Beautiful job with the trolley. The woodgrain is gorgeous.
I love old furniture and it’s nice to see when pieces are restored back to their beauty. Thank you for doing it.
Hello Sharon, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??
I love that your videos are so full of detail and yet not overly long. What a great transformation!!
And music is just quiet background.
Thank you 😊
@@Flippingdrawers I have cast iron bed projects 😀
You are such a joy to watch work. Your attention to detail, meticulous work ethic, and your sense of humor keep people coming back to watch new projects. Well done!
Hello Pat, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??
@@trevorjennings I am doing well, thank you, and I hope good health and a happy life are yours, today. I have a hard time falling asleep and your videos help me to do that. Thank you so very much. God bless you with His love and caring goodness.
@@patsabol8699 Thanks Pat😊.
Would like us to chat privately hope that’s fine?
Absolutely lovely! It was his lucky day when you came along and rescued him! He looks amazing ❤
The tea cart turned out beautiful!
Amazing transformation!
It's Lovely! I'm glad you let the different wood tones shine through. Great video as always. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks Anita❤️
Talk about a diamond in the rough. It looks beautiful again. You gave life back to something others considered hopeless. Awesome restoration.😊
I have watched other videos of people restoring old furniture pieces. Yours was the only one who restored it to its original state.
What a cute little cart made exquisite by your attention to details!
Love it! Thanks for the video. 😄
Thank you for watching Carol 🤗
It looks classy and high end. This brass line added quality look. Well done!
And ... you absolutly deserve 50k and more
Oh, I forgot to say….Bloody brilliant, mate! Just gorgeous!
This guy is absolutely gorgeous! His little “shoes” really completed the look, along with the inlay. Marvelous job!
Thanks 😊
Observing your work I know that you are skilled in your craft. You methodically yet patiently work to improve the appearance of the wood. I can certainly say that you achieved your goal! It is gorgeous! Instead of that little trolley cart being lost to the garbage dump, you can proudly use it with purpose in mind. My husband is a carpenter who has worked with wood some 40+ years & has made many a gorgeous gift for me. You are doing the same with your talents. Thanx for a great video!
That’s very kind. I’m not a trained carpenter but really like learning about woodworking.
Looking good! Such a major difference! It's a real joy to see something like this rescued.
The little guy turned out beautifully. The brass strip and clean lines give it a more modern look which is quite appealing. Very glad you found it and rescued it from the landfill.
Thanks 😊
I think when you bring a piece of furniture from the past back to life it thanks you. People think they are inanimate objects but I don't view them as such. A person created it touched it and left their presence on them.
You made it look beautiful again and I'm sure it's thanking you.
That’s very kind. Thank you
Rescued and now such a beautiful piece of vintage furniture! Your skill lies in seeing potential and then achieving it. This table will be admired for years to come!
🥰🤗
Loved the finished product. The tea tray was such an interesting find, I'm glad you decided to give new life into it. It's such a shame the previous owner was ready to throw it away!
Excellent finish, you did a amazing job.
I smiled as Jay said "Hello, beautiful people!"... I was at first skeptical about the inlay, but then... really really beautifully done!
Thank you 😊
To be honest, I was excited to see that the tea/gum trolley was in such bad shape because I knew you would bring it back to it`s original stunning beauty. You are so meticulous and caring with your work that I love watching your work. I highly recommend to all that have watched this video to subscribe so you do not miss the next project.
Thank you so much Pamela 🥰 very kind
The brass strip takes the table to another level. Great job.
He is so dapper with that shiny, shiny inlay! Well done.
Wow! Awesome transformation! Great work to save this little guy from the landfill and instead give it a second new life.
These videos never cease to amaze me. You somehow manage to take furniture that most people wouldn't think twice about throwing away and turn them into furniture that looks absolutely stunning. I honestly alway look forward to your videos. Keep up the fantastic work.
Wow, thank you Fred!
Случайно зашла на ваш канал. Реставрационные работа впечатлила! Столик преобразился и получил новую достойную жизнь. Такой красавчик! Очень понравилось, что мастер максимально оставил первозданно задуманный, прежний вид и сохранил фактуру и цвет дерева. Вы волшебник, маэстро! Ваша работа достойна самой высокой похвалы, браво!!! 👍👋👋💥💯😍🙋♀️
This piece now has another lifetime of enjoyment and usage. It would have been a crime to throw it away.
OJÚ CON LA RUSA, SI PUDIERA, SE LO LLEVABA PARA ALLA. NO CFEO QUE ENCAJARA ALLÍ.
My Dad was a carpenter & so were several of his brothers. I must have it in my DNA because it's always been of interest to me. I should have acted upon that interest when I was young. I guess it's never to late. I'm retired & I would love to start repairing woodwork. This turned out to be a beautiful finished product. Thank you for sharing.
Watching you restore an old table you found brought back some memories. Back in 1974 I acquired an antique oak rocking chair frame. Years later, I refinished the frame in a golden oak finish. A few years later, and a big life change, I found an upholsterer that would build up a period seat cushion. Many years later, I am sitting in this chair, in 2023! It will be passed down and probably last another hundred years.
This turned out beautifully! I usually don’t care for metal inlays, but I must say, it looks great on this little tea cart. Glad to find your channel ☺️
It came out very nicely and didn’t take long at all! I like the extra touch with the inlay, and I loved seeing Hugo.
Hi Kay 👋 thank you 🙏 I love that 🐱
I always enjoy watching ppl who bring furniture back to useful life.
Hello Lynn, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??
Stunning! I love the brass inlay; it adds a dash of elegance to the piece. Beautiful work as always.
I love watching you work. Back in the day my dad did restorations like this, and I used to help him. He also did lots of other wood work also, as I expect you do.
Wow, how beautiful! There must be such a feeling of accomplishment when you’ve completed a project like this.
I have heard of people dumping cats in alleys next to a known cat friendly house, but dumping furniture in the alley next to a restorer is a first for me.
Nice work.
The final product is a masterpiece. The added inlay took it to a new level. Your attention to detail has inspired me and I'm sure many others. I'm addicted to your channel; but, I have housework to do. I have something to look forward to when I'm done...another furniture flip done by you. Please keep flipping❤❤
PERFECT!!! I love the brass inlay! Absolutely stunning...it needed a little bit more didn't it 🤩🤩🤩
Yay! Thank you!
very sympathetic restoration, brilliantly executed. the brass inlay was the perfect finishing touch. excellent as always🖤
Thanks very much 🥰
What a total transformation. Absolutely stunning!!! What a privilege to watch your work. Such talent, know how and labor of love, I’m sure!!! The inlay was the icing, so welcomed as the finishing stroke of beauty!!
Thank you! Cheers!💛
My wife and I were very impressed with your fine attention to detail and the addition of the brass piece made it very elegent.
Thank you ☺️
Looks amazing!! Well done👏👏
Love all the different sanding sounds, beautiful work as always.
🙏🥰
So relaxing to watch these videos!
What a great save! The brass inlay really took it over the top! Outstanding!
The inlay in wood gets me every time. It just does so much to modernize a look!!! And the skills for this…. Just wow.
Thank you 😊
I like watching you because there's no way I'd have the tools or patience to put in that much work 🤣🤣🤣 great job!
My pleasure 😇
You could buy an electric nail file for the tiny grooves! They come with tiny sanding bits which might work well on tiny areas/grooves.
Will check it out 👍
@@Flippingdrawers you could also get a small hobby drill, called a Dremel. There are also tiny little stones and file bits made for them. My son makes model airplanes and uses one, that I had used in my acrylic nail salon, almost 30 years ago.
Excellent bit of workmanship and restoration.
Now that's definitely Shabby to SHIEK.
Very nice indeed and a job to be proud of.
Hello Pretty, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??
Золотые руки и светлая душа!
I’d love to see you use a hard carnauba wax and then hand buff it out. Nothing comes close to the final finish of that combo. I redid a few small chairs that had been in my family for a few hundred years. The result was AMAZING. Those wooden runners need to have some Gulf Wax (a very firm paraffin wax used in home food canning). It makes a very smooth glide
Nice to hear you talk about using the brush as long you follow the wood grain 😁 already had a few "heartaches" seeing flippers having no idea what they were doing and then complaining that had scratches on the wood 😕🤷🏼♀️ Oh... Now I know why you're polishing that brass inlay on IG, yes I'm a stalker but a healthy one 🤣🤣🤣 The tea table looks beautiful 😍
PS: Congrats on the 50.6K 🥳🎉🎉🎉 Next step 100K to get your Play Button ▶️😊
Thank you Linda😊 your support is definitely help item get there 🥰
You are truly a master, you gave this little, abandoned table a new chance to shine, beautifully done!!❤
It always amazes me how little people respect furniture pieces made of wood and let there condition just deteriorate so much. Oak is suck a beautiful wood. Well done restoring this piece and you even added a little bit of your own flare to it with the brass inlay. It was a nice touch that added a visual pop to it.
Excellent job as expected with you!
You do great restoration and beyong with your own touch of details like the brass inlay here.
Thank you for the video.
My pleasure 😇 thank you for watching Leticia
Just gorgeous 😍. Love how it looks fully extended. Great job!!!!
I am so impressed with the outcome of the work you put into this old tea trolley.
Wonderful transformation with a real artistic touch. The brass strip just elevates the whole table to something very special.
What a beautiful job! I love oak. Personally I feel the inlay was “gilding the lily” a bit, but it looks good.
FICOU LINDA DEMAIS!!!
E ESTE DETALHE DOURADO FEZ MUITA DIFERENÇA.
ADORO SEUS VÍDEOS!!!
UM ABRAÇO DO BRAZIL!!! 🙋🏻♀️🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
I love watching skilled craftsmen return these pieces into the treasures they are.
Thanks 😊
You have such amazing skills! You brought back life into this beautiful tea trolley.
Hello Eve, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??
I enjoyed watching this transformation so much, and I appreciate your very gentle manner. Just subscribed and can’t wait to watch more! I would love to learn how to do this some day.
It’s just a small table on wheels my grandmother had one back in 1950, we had tea and cake on Sundays
Cool ;-)
Too bad your granny was only able to keep her small table on wheels for one year.
Absolutely gorgeous! The brass is such a great addition. On to a long and useful second life !
What a beautiful restoration! That brass strip really lifted it and made it a much more contemporary piece, good job!
