I've watched a bunch of your videos now. Beyond the re-imagining and repurposing you do of pieces, I am an absolute fan of how you never seem to let anything go to waste. Socks, old cushions, any random piece of wood or metal from an old project... you're always using things that other people would throw away. Its completely commendable. And your work is also beautiful.
The Atlantic Ocean divides us, that's good because I would buy any chest of drawers. I wish you many interesting projects.
Love your ideas! And I really like that you don’t talk over the whole process but keep it informative with the subtitles. Makes your channel different from the others!
I like that your project includes even the interiors and the back of the furniture differently to the others
It looks amazing! I learned also a lot from your staining and polishing procedure. What a Change. Thanks for the great Video!
Muito elegante 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
I agree, and I also like that there's no annoying background music. Just the sound of the work.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
ASMR fans probably subscribe to hear all those erotic sanding down sounds
More videos, please -- and thank you!
unbelievably wonderful work. The drawers look completely "real". As an old architect, I have seen hundreds of these old cabinets, this is the first one I have seen that was not orange from the shellac and varnish. None have legs, I guess because they get so heavy, that loaded with plans would be HEAVY. You never cut a corner in craftsmanship, but your design sense is impeccable as well. The tonal difference at the end was a heck of a nice touch.
Thanks for doing things the RIGHT way.
Most of these were made of metal very very early. Since the drawings are legal documents, they worried about fire. Frank Lloyd Wright although innovative, made allot of stupid mistakes. He was sued many times, these drawings and specs were center stage in court.
probably also real cabinet would be heavy also from all the wood required to create all those thin drawers.
One reason for later problems is that he experimented with new building materials. Falling Water is a prime example of the early use of concrete and its subsequent problems. It’s not held up well.
@@melindaostergren8115 That is the one in PA, I think. Wright evidently had engineers and other architects screaming and warning him of the dangers. Falling Waters is a basic fiasco, but Wright was too busy making a name for himself and entirely too egotistical. He did implement new concepts that others would later employ in more practical ways. He was part of a general trend in those days, so hard to tell if he was just stealing ideas from others.
I used to browse catalogs with the thin drawers for oversized drawings or printouts. The components were modular. The base was a separate unit the drawers could be bought as one or two units and stacked. A separate top could be added. Have seen them sometimes used as a twin/single bed base in an office which could be a guest room. For that setup two bases, two drawer units and a cut plywood top worked.
I'm binge watching your videos. Your wood working skills are incredible & your video editing is equally amazing. Good enough to be on your own TV show. Thank you - I'm learning so much. My skills, confidence & standards are so much higher thanks to these videos! Please don't stop making them. :)
Thank you so much Charlotte! 🙏🏻😁
This was incredible! I don't know which is better. Your furniture flipping or your video and editing skills! You are officially my new favorite flipper.
Both are simultaneously great!!!
☝ ... 👏
Catch me by surprise every time 😵
That dark stain in the ridges to help sell the illusion was inspired. Such a gorgeous piece and phenomenal craftsmanship. Put this on to listen to/watch while I worked before I realized it wasn't narrated like the rest 😂 definitely didn't get work done during.
You rescued that piece of furniture. Clever idea.
Those drawer dividers are far nicer than what would have come installed on a factory made piece of furniture. 💕♥️💕
There aren’t any words that could do justice! I don’t do any wood working but could watch your videos all day. I agree with so may others, your editing is amazing. I am in awe of your skills. Thank you for sharing 🙏
Thank you so much :))
I love your style
The finished piece is unbelievably fantastic! Nobody could tell that it started out as anything other than an architect cabinet. I've always liked the look of those cabinets, so to see
how you converted the look from something plain is very impressive! Great job!
Thank you for your kind words! 😁🥰
here U R... Thinking of you yesterday and wondering when the next amazing video will show up and here u R...Glad to see you again!
New subscriber here and wanted to say watching your video is so relaxing. You definitely have skills and great ideas but I think the fact that there is no talking is what I like best.
Master craftsman remakes wood furniture with phenomenal results. Pushes them around on a rickety wheeled platform that appears to be 100 years old.
Stunning workmanship,,,,, beautiful beautiful beautiful
The dividers and using lemon stain to get rid of the old wood smell. #showpiece for sure
Dude !!! I’m speechless!! The skill … the craftsmanship! … the aesthetics… just phenomenally executed.
Man, you are the Master, how you flip ordinary furniture to master pieces is beyond my imagination 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇵🇸🇵🇸✌️🇵🇸🇵🇸
Really beautiful.
I love your vision on this one, totally transformed this plain dresser...tfs...Take care...stay safe...
Thank you Martine, you stay safe too 😊
Talent abounds on each restore👍🏻😊
You are so clever! I love your attention to detail. And some of your methods are eye-opening ones that I’ve never seen before. Your piece is gorgeous.
Just fabulous. I love the drawer dividers. Your attention to detail is awesome. Thank you so much for sharing. Always a pleasure watching you create.
I love the tone variation in the stain!
I really liked the partitions, this furniture was beautiful
MM! You are an artist with wood! Seems like you push the limits way beyond what’s ‘normal’. Absolutely, creative without covering up with colored paints. Please don’t stop! I’ve learned from you. Thanks so much for sharing. 🤩⭐️😻
Wow! Impressive! I like the additional knobs on the drawers. Nice look.
Professional is the word I have for you!!! Beautiful work!!!
Я первый раз вижу ,такую ИДЕАЛЬНУЮ РАБОТУ.
ВЫ МАСТЕР СВОЕГО ДЕЛА.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
One day I'd love to buy a piece or 10 from you. I love your work.
Magnificent! You not only have golden hands, but also good taste. I would like to have this dresser in my room.👍
You have a feeling for wood. Each piece quite obviously talks to you.
This was an amazing makeover. Congratulations on your creativity, attention to detail, plus your no nonsense approach to what you do 10/10
9:02 Perfection!! Love your attention to detail, and great job friend!! 👍👍👍

Good job, kid. A lot better than these other "furniture flippers" I've been watching.
Perfection, and your garden is lovely!
A true Craftsman gorgeous
Wow, so beautiful!
I was not expecting it to end up looking like that. Amazing eyes for detail.
This is so beautiful! Awesome idea!
Wow, what a beauty! You are very creative!
Beautiful - I'd love to own that..
I look forward to your videos. So impeccable.
I LOVE your filming style. Very original and minimalist, yet entertaining. It’s fresh. I also love that it’s “silent.” It reminds me of the Odd Tinkering channel which I also love!
Using the foam from old cushions is quite resourceful! Nice idea.
WOW!!! Wish you lived here in Adelaide, Australia. I'd happily enrol for tuition. You're amazing, you're craftsmanship is superb and your creations sublime. A joy to watch. Thank you from down under. 🍸🍸😊💖🇦🇺
Thank you so much for all the love! 🙏🏻❤️
You, my dear, are one clever boy.
I am amazed with your ideas, your level of organization, your end results as they are always way above what I was expecting. You truly are an artist and it shows in every piece you do💯💯👏👏
Thoroughly enjoyed the video. Such beautiful workmanship. Makes me want take up wood working.
I enjoy with extreme pleasure the way you display each step.
The stain on this is fabulous. You did a fantastic job as always!!!
I love it!!!! I thought at first you were making drawer pulls…the dividers from salvaged drawer parts were amazing!!!! I want to get some bees wax and lemon oil. Thanks Andy!!!!
Thank you Jeanne :)
@@ModernMakeovers Enjoy your coffees! You need a Patreon page!
Another “knocked it out of the park” build. Awesome job!
1:14 the cinematic storytelling made me subscribe 😭
I’ve watched this before. But still love seeing it again.
So beautiful.
You do beautiful work. I like the informative captions, and I appreciate that the sound of the work you do is the only sound in the video. If you included the approximate number of hours you put into each project in the description box, I'll bet I'm not the only person who'd find that information interesting. I imagine it's in the dozens of hours.
You have another subscriber.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Clever, attractive, and resourceful.
😁🙏🏻🙏🏻
Beautifully done! I love that you took the time in restoring and also making it even more amazing and made dividers. Too many flippers are just painting furniture because it’s easy. Thank you for making that old dresser absolutely stunning!
So sorry for the repetition, but you are amazing! I love watching what you can do with a piece of furniture that would be destined for the landfill! Please keep sharing your videos because you are an inspiration. Thank you. Take care, stay safe.
Absolutely beutiful, your pieces is amazing. Those dividers was genius!
This is one of the best flips I've seen!!
