As a State employee, I was chained to one of those desks for decades. I'm grateful you were able to remove all the evidence of redundant paperwork & triplicate memos, the lingering traces of overbearing useless oversight and anachronistic regressive policy changes to create a nexus for art. Art is happiness!
I’m loving the awesome humor that you have in this video! One thing I learned on another channel is that oxalic acid is extremely toxic. On that channel after it dries he washes the wood with lots of water to keep the dried crystals from going airborn. Then he has a squeegee to wipe the water off and uses a towel. He also washes the floor if the solution spilled because it is dangerous for his dog to walk on it and possibly lick it off. Since you use it routinely, this could be a big health risk for you and your kitty. I just want to help you stay healthy and live a long good life! 😊 The info online I found is from a beekeeper site, but I’m sure it is applicable to all who use that product. Loving your videos and what a good person you are!
@@Flippingdrawersit isn't really possible to "neutralise" oxalic acid without a strong alkali, though calcium does bond to it... I guess rinsing multiple times would help
My Friend, your videos never disappoint! Your subscriber count will skyrocket soon. You have so many amazing followers, and like me, I'm sure they love the way you approach each new challenge. Now I need to find a desk like this to keep up. You need to restore a boat so you can visit the states soon. Look forward to working with you soon! Barry
Every grade school teacher I had back in the mid 50's to early 60's had one of these desk. Yours is prettiest. You are putting together very entertaining videos. Sanding was never so enjoyable to watch!
I love seeing how you're actually using the desk -- staging it makes it look fab, of course, but seeing it being USED is so inspiring! I also like how you admit to almost giving up 3x. That makes the rest of us feel a bit better when we too are intimidated or discouraged with projects we're determined to finish but can't seem to get quite done. Thanks!
Love the finished product. You know cats are very discerning, your visitor was so at home. Says a lot about the sort of person you are. Love your videos
The splash of black honestly makes a nice contrast to the lighter wood color, and I think that plus the new handles ended up really modernizing the piece.
That desk turned out beautiful! I love your decision to replace the original drawer pulls with those more streamlined versions. And that refurbished ‘back splash’ piece added the perfect finishing touch. Bravo. 👏
I enjoyed your comments throughout the video, and the kitty clip was a lot of fun as well. You make entertaining and informative videos. Thank you for this engaging content.
Absolutely beautiful, the love and attention you put into this certainly showed in the finished product! Informative, but very entertaining as well. Thank you.
I absolutely love this desk!! I love 40s-50s era furniture. It has so much character, warmth, and charm. How fun that you're keeping it!! Now that it's all spruced up, it's much happier and proud. What a beautiful piece. You are so entertaining. I love your humor. You did this piece justice. 🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎
You convinced me! I subscribed! I love your videos. I used to refurbish old furniture. I certainly did not have the tools you have but I did enjoy it. I particularly love this desk and would have kept that for myself. It just wouldn’t have turned out as beautiful as yours did!
I think the imperfections make the piece. I’ve refinished furniture for almost 40 years and I try to never “fix” the imperfections since I believe it adds character. All of the furniture I’ve done has been for me and always oak. I love the grain! You do beautiful work!
Truly enjoyed this video, had quite a few laughs at your sense of humor! To see this teacher's desk brought back memories of my school days in the 1940's & 1950's. This desk was well used and it showed. Thanks for bring the desk back to life, beautiful and a keep sake for certain.
I LOVE it! I always love a video that makes me laugh out loud! This was a pleasure to watch and the end result looks like a high end bespoke desk. The kitty was a nice touch too! Thank you for sharing this with us.
Hi there! 👋I'm still looking at the finished desk you created. Five minutes, I've been comparing the old to the new. The one you saved (and THANK YOU for that!) really does look new. Style-wise, it appears to be a new one made in the vintage style. Every thing is new again, it seems. 😃How you re-did the bottom with all that damage was amazing. You worked your MAGIC again! Be well.....👋🎈
An interesting process. It turned out beautifully and has so much character. It will be a wonderful desk for you. The handles are perfect with the top.
Wow! Again, I'm blown away by your improvisational skills and skills overall! I love the way this desk turned out. It's a true "trash to treasure" piece now! Love the handles you chose and great idea on the double (but really single) drawer pull! Bravo
I once had an amazing desk like this I loved it but it needed a lot of tlc and I didn't have the means to do so. I love the Feed and Wax product, that alone would have helped so much. Traditional waxing of the drawers takes so much longer and doesn't even come close to solving all the issues the Feed and Wax doors. Like you, if I was able to do this I would have a of difficulty deciding to sell it afterwards. Another thing cool is that the pieces you decide to keep, if you wanted to you could create sets out of pieces that originally completely different. Have fun!
As a retired teacher, I am very familiar with these desks! I was always pleased when assigned to a room where I got to use one. This is a beautiful restoration!
I clicked on when I saw a desk which reminded me of one my grandfather, a carpenter, built for my father, around 100 yrs ago. What you've done here is so remarkable--a truly handsome piece!!! Also have very much enjoyed your competitive colabs with David Mayfair. And, yes, I am subscribed! 👏🏻❤️👏🏻
También yo hé tenido días en que hé querido parar un Proyecto, pero pienso en personas como Usted que no renuncian aunque estén cansados. En cada video aprendo algo, soy una madre que adora reciclar también. Gracias por compartir sus videos.
You have been handsomely rewarded for your intestinal fortitude and persistence on this project. You've finished up with a good looking, useful and unique piece of furniture.
It’s now such a beautiful piece of furniture. The black handles make the project look very cohesive. Not very many restorers could have saved this desk and I am happy to be a subscriber. Enjoy your life, Cheryl.
I refinished a teacher desk from 1954 about 6 yrs ago and I can relate to the endless sanding. It is so worth it in the end. Super job as always, but do be careful on what you "snort". Loved your video, really made me laugh 😂😂
This looks great! I like the way it turned out. I was laughing at the part where you were showing how long it took to sand the desk. You are very comfortable being filmed and are funny when you want to be.
I was a school teacher for 35 years. My first desk was an old relic that looked similar to yours. That you for taking such care of a piece that was used by teachers for many years.
I’m old enough to remember those desks, and thoroughly enjoyed your restoring it so beautifully. One of the best features of desks at that time was the pull-out boards on either side. Brought back a memory: Many years ago at work my supervisor couldn’t find the time cards (non-digital times). We all searched everywhere, with no luck. Later, he pulled out the extension board on his desk. The time cards were on top of the board, right where he had left them when he closed the board.
BRAVO, ce bureau est tout simplement magnifique. Je suis tombée amoureuse de ce bureau. Vous êtes génial et très très doué dans la restauration de meubles. Toutes mes félicitations Monsieur. 👍
I love this video!!!! The desk is gorgeous, and it was worth all the work you did. I loved your sanding the top and almost giving up part of the video and made me laugh. You are amazing sir and I am a subscriber!
On top of your obvious talent, skills, and wonderful knowledge working with wood and tools I want to highly commend you for your patience. As much as I would love to attempt to refinish some of my antique furniture I have not the tools nor patience to even begin. You are amazing. And, hey, your sense of humor is not lost on your audience!
Lol, you had me laughing so hard I started choking. I’m glad you manages to keep the top veneer. My teacher had one similar in 1956. I remember using the little pull-outs to do work beside the teacher! Do you wet the veneer after so you can see bubbles and fix them? Do you neutralize the oxalic acid? Nice looking desk when you’re done!
In America those sliding side boards are called breadboards and we love to have them on desks and in our kitchens. I LOVE this desk. Thank you for saving her. Watching from Boise, Idaho USA.
I have a similar desk that my Mother purchased at a school surplus auction in the 80s for $20. I still use it for my daily driver and am considering a restoration similar to yours. Thanks for the nudge, and as always, beautiful work!
I love,love,love the way this desk turned out. I am also glad you kept it for yourself. You deserve to have something very special of your own that expresses your vision and that you see and use everyday.
I used to have a desk identical to that one. I got it when my office changed to new desks, yes it was an old teacher's school desk. I really loved that desk and was sad to leave it behind when I left my husband... Being very fair, I made sure he got half of everything that was actually all mine to start with... but no problem, in the end I am happier. As usual, you did a wonderful job restoring it and so nice to see a kitty visitor as well... Thanks for all your interesting videos...
Glad you are keeping this, right? No one person could adequately appreciate the effort and energy you have given to this beloved functional piece, spoken from me, born in the 50’s, and user of this type of desk, as a teacher, in the 1970’s and beyond. Looks killer!!!!!

Hi, if you watch my other videos you'll see I deactivate it the acid with water. Simply don't record everything on video.
But it’s good you made the comment for viewers.
I think it looks pretty good 👍

Oxalic acid is what makes rhubarb taste great! The concentrate may not be too good for you…

Hey, there, MCM.
Hi, you have a new subscriber! Thanks for your videos. Greetings from Spain
@@Isabel-belsai thank you Isabel and welcome 🤗
Barry, I really think you need to try his sanding techniques. 🤣
Every grade school teacher I had back in the mid 50's to early 60's had one of these desk. Yours is prettiest. You are putting together very entertaining videos. Sanding was never so enjoyable to watch!
Ha ha ha and yes🤗glad you enjoyed it
@@Flippingdrawers it was the sanding reclining stages that tickled. Thank you.
Yes! Imagine how many teachers touched that desk over the years! Their stories are in the wood. Buy a coffee for a teacher today!
I like how you take tired old boring furniture and recreate it. Again saving it from the dump. Very nice.
I love seeing how you're actually using the desk -- staging it makes it look fab, of course, but seeing it being USED is so inspiring! I also like how you admit to almost giving up 3x. That makes the rest of us feel a bit better when we too are intimidated or discouraged with projects we're determined to finish but can't seem to get quite done. Thanks!

My teachers had a desk just like this when I went through primary school - I feel old!
ha ha more like vintage 😉
Love how this came out! And brilliant idea and work on the faux door handle!
Thanks so much! 😊
That desk was brought back to a beautiful life.
Love the finished product. You know cats are very discerning, your visitor was so at home. Says a lot about the sort of person you are. Love your videos
🥰🤗
I called them my trays. They were great for grading papers. Greetings from Texas
Those new drawer pulls were an excellent choice. I like the two-toned effect as well.
Awesome 🤩
The ink stains in the drawer are part of it's history. Beautiful work.
The splash of black honestly makes a nice contrast to the lighter wood color, and I think that plus the new handles ended up really modernizing the piece.
I agree. I love mixing retro and modern
It is a pleasure to see that cat again. Look like Norwegian Forest cat, so charming. And oh yes, the desk is lovely.
This isn’t the same cat lol similar though. 😉
I'm loving not only your work but how in each video a bit more of your personality is coming through❤️
Much appreciated 🥰
The new handles you used don't detract from the looks of the original desk. How nice of your furry neighbor to drop by. 😊
That desk turned out beautiful! I love your decision to replace the original drawer pulls with those more streamlined versions. And that refurbished ‘back splash’ piece added the perfect finishing touch. Bravo. 👏
Thank you 😊
I enjoy listening to as you work. Feel like i am there with you.
That’s very kind.
Impressive work! Handsome masculine desk. These desks are abundant in 2nd hand stores, this demonstrates how beautiful they can be.
Cool🤗
Your remarkable skill combined with a delightful sense of humor make for very enjoyable videos to watch!
Great to hear🤗
The stains you couldn’t remove just add to the character of the desk!
Right? 🥰
Always a treat to watch your videos, in addition to your outstanding work your lovely sense of humor and kindness shine through.
That’s super kind 💛 thank you so much
I enjoyed your comments throughout the video, and the kitty clip was a lot of fun as well. You make entertaining and informative videos. Thank you for this engaging content.

Thanks 😊 yes I rinse the acid with water and don’t wet the veneer unless I’m applying a new piece.
@@Flippingdrawers thank you! Great work! A great restorer from Estonia AT Restorations! He is very professional and fastidious in his restorations!
That turned out beautiful… I love the contrast of the top and the natural wood
Omg the fork 🤣 🤣 I love the handles on this piece. The inlay of the handle was perfect. Excellent work Jay!
Thanks friend. This was a labour of love. I absolutely love it. The fork was inspired by your spatula 😉
Great video. When grinding, I recognised myself again. 😀 Very nice result. I like it. 👍
Thanks mate
Your Voice is perfect, just enough explanation. Love the process and dedication to your Craft. Thx.
Sanding forever was a good giggle!. As always the desk turned out splendid

Superb!! Your creative mastery shines again!! No wonder you wanted this desk for yourself! 💯❤️🫂
