I had an art teacher who had a wonderful quote (sorry, I do not know the author): "A man who works with his hands is a laborer. A man who works with his hands and his head is a craftsman. A man who works with his hands, his head and his heart is an artist." I've never forgotten it.....and it describes your work perfectly.....you are an Artist.
I've been (sort of) binging your videos because by GOD they're so satisfying to watch for some reason. The no background music and silence is really soothing too.
Ahh the "waterfall" dresser. I am a product of the 50's and that was SOOOOOO popular back then. I wondered how you would reveneer the top, love the strips. The color of stain was unexpected but makes it fit with modern decor even though its an antique like me!! Well done as always. 👏👏💯💯😀
I thought waterfalls were from art deco of the 30s and 40s and weren't really made anymore after that 🤔 that's what I've read when I tried to research anyways
My great grandfather's bedroom suite was waterfall but his was 1905, the Sears and Robuck sticker is still on the back. Front veneer is damaged though :( I have the bed, dresser, and chifferobe.
I remember watching this for the first time and, not unlike many of the commenters, being surprised and disappointed by the grey stain on the new veneer. This time, however, I’m able to appreciate you taking risks, by experimenting and thinking outside the box. That is precisely why i love your channel above others. Keep doing you and having fun P.s. While i still think they grey stain is kind of… off, I also think it catches your eye and makes the piece more interesting. Thank you for your creativity and for so generous lt sharing your growing expertise with us, all the while making it fun. Your work is therapeutic. Wish you well!
I love, love, LOVE that you don't cover the sounds of your work with music. Thank you for that. It's very refreshing. Your editing style is also great.
Loved the new veneer pattern it looked so amazing until the stain then I got very disappointed, completely didn’t like the stain choice, it for me ruined that amazing pattern work. Drawers looked amazing! A clearer stain would have made it much more, but just my opinion as an armchair critic.
I agree. I didn't love it to begin with (veneer edge on a whole side was hard to swallow for me), but that stain made it worse for me. But that's a matter of taste, if course.
I was confused why people were talking about the stain he chose until I saw it at the end 😭😭 he ruined that beautiful wood, it looked more like a botched paint job than a wood stain…
The result is a mishmash of likes and dislikes. Using the veneer strips was clever, but fails in the end. Overall, if you like it then it wasn't a waste of time. But, I would pass on having it in my home.
I am so glad I came across RUclips at the ripe old age of 68. Many years ago I also played with old furniture. But Andy you are making works of art and your detail in your videos is what I would have wanted to do. Thank you for your myticulase way of working. I also saw your red Bauhaus cabinet, beautiful. Thank you for keeping me awake. I have many years of RUclips to catch up. 😊
@@ModernMakeovers From where ever you are working from, you must have had a very creative background. These videos help forget about all the madness of the world. Hope when you are being so creative you can also find your happy place. I garden and knit, specially socks which are well received even by my fussy children. Would love to knit you some socks if that is allowed. Need shoe size, favourite colour and address to post. Keep safe.
@@anitaswart. Hi Anita, that’s so very sweet that you want to do that 😢 I would be honoured to receive socks from you. If you could please send me an email at: contact.modernmakeovers@gmail.com I can send you my postal information, thank you! ❤️
I snickered a bit when they all fell seconds after you numbering them. Not a color stain I would have wanted, but I'm glad it was just what you wanted. Kinda gave me driftwood/ashy vibes. I think you did an amazing job bringing new life to this piece!
Absolutely love the work here, super inspiring. Don’t like grey anything on wood because it’s a modern trend and sucks the life out of a piece, but I respect the way you did it.
Seriously my one gripe. I was hooked until I saw the grey and let out an audible what the fuck. I think thats a difference of perspective though! I’d prefer it be remade as close as to the original. This guy put his own spin on it and it still looks great, just not the same.
The beauty of it is that you can stain yours whatever color you want. You even have this step by step tutorial to walk you through the entire process. Maybe you can even shoot and edit a video to help others just to have some haters come along and sh!t on your work.
i agree the stain soaked into the end grain of the fittings a bit too much, i wonder if a light coat of something else could stop it from soaking in so much.
After a long day of shift work, in addition to going to school and managing 2 other jobs, there is something so relaxing and satisfying watching your videos to unwind...a combination of ASMR, humour, artistry, precision, thoughtfully and meticulously organized tools/supplies (OCD and detail-oriented person's dream!) and great camera work! I love it!
Your patience doing this veneer is so refreshing. This world is so into rushing everything. Thoroughly enjoyed watching you take such care to make this piece alive again. Even better than before.
Your work is impeccable, Andy. What blows me away though is how patient you are with the fiddly little things. Most people I've seen on YT just want to get the job done quick, so they can sell it quick. I call them furniture flippers. You're more of a furniture transformer. Thanks for sharing some of that spirit with us.
This was absolutely amazing. And genius. I have to admit I was loving the veneer pattern a lot more when I could see the lines better. Before the stain. But still. Wow. Just wow.
As an artist who recently decided to start filming my process I seriously have to give you props for all the effort you put into getting the best angles and setting up your camera for a shot that's only going to be like two seconds long in the final video. It's exhausting stuff and I certainly don't have the patience for it haha
"I'm trying to peel as much as possible at once" Expectation: "Ah because it must be more efficient or there's some other technological reason right?" Reality: "It's much more satisfying this way"
Another reason is to save the bigger pieces for repairs to other projects. Older veneer is thicker and of higher quality. I always try to save as much as a can.
This is the first time I’ve seen your work, and I seriously can’t get over it. Previously, I don’t think I’ve ever seen any furniture restoration content, but I feel that I video like this will change that. The editing, the sound design, the transitions, and even just your skill at restoration- it’s all so satisfying to watch and listen to. Thank you for this!
It really is satisfying isn't it? I've been watching RUclips vids like through covid days and I'm only beginning to start my own projects. This particular video (for many awesome reasons) gave me the kick in the butt" i needed to get going. So inspiring. Just had to say i agree with your comment wholeheartedly
So beautiful! And I'm SUPER happy to see you use the edge banding like that- I've been toying around with doing a herringbone pattern on some drawer faces with it but wasn't sure how it would turn out, but after seeing this, I think I'll give it a go! Thanks again for sharing your creativity and skill!
That's beautiful. I was born in the 50s & I remember seeing those kind of dressers at my grandparents houses. Id give anything to have one of them now. Love how you modernized it with the black drawer pulls. Very nice!
Once again your patience astounds me lmao, and I'm so obsessed with your nail/screw organization. This was so rewarding to see you work on. I love the different tones of the woods working so well together, and the stripes of the veneers on top. Beautiful work as always!
I am not an ASMR person, but I just found this clip and I could listen to this type of woodwork all day! This was oddly meditative and pleasant to watch! Thank you :)
Really amazing job! I wasn't initially a fan of the stain after seeing it in your shop's lighting. But seeing it in the final shots completely changed my mind. It looks great!
New subscriber here. I grew up with waterfall dressers and I’ve done some minor veneer repairs back in the day. The work you did here was masterful but I’m not a fan of the stain; it’s out of character. I favor browns myself. The stain on the handles was a perfect color and a wonderful contrast to whole piece. I admired how you put the veneer on: a tedious task and a smashing outcome.
I’ve been working on a dresser like this myself, and whoever tried to restore it before me DESTROYED the veneer. I was at a loss for what to do, and I didn’t wanna paint it so I did what you did and used edge banding over it! It turned out wonderful! Your work is hugely inspiring! ❤️
That was the slickest editing I've ever seen in a restoration video! You never stayed on one step for too long, and transitions were crisp and interesting! Well done!
Amazing, amazing, amazing work of art my friend!!!! Absolutely gorgeous!!!! I love your editing skills as well 😄. The art works tear drop was too cute!!!! Your videos are like asmr to me. I am so relaxed I could fall to sleep. However I do not because I want to watch you perform your beautiful artistic skills!!!! Thank you for another exceptional video!!!!
I think it's stunning... The piece even looks "proud" of it's new look/makeover. There's not much that we can do with our hands aside from bringing life back into a piece lost in time that would've otherwise hung out so long to be tossed aside. Your skills are amazing and keep up the fantastic work. I'm sure soon we will all see u on TV and living your dreams! Best regards to you and yours.
I love how you save all pieces of scrap wood. I do that too and my husband laughs at me but they ARE so handy!! :) great work. And I appreciate that you are a man of few words!
The asmr sounds in these videos are so good that I'd listen to it on Spotify if it was an album! The finished piece looks awesome and the striped veneer was sooo good and satisfying!!!!!
I've only recently found you on RUclips and now have watched all your stunning makeovers. I'm in awe of your skill and foresight. I also love that your videos are the most professional and informative. It's great not to have any voice-overs too. Can't wait to see what you do next
👍Great work, amazing patience. Thanks for posting. The old pieces that Ive redone had solid oak under the old veneers. These old pieces deserve all the work.
it's a month later and this is the first video of yours i've watched, so you might not see it, but you also might. i thoroughly enjoyed this video! i appreciate the way you edit sound and picture together. the stain on the top veneer did not turn out quite as nicely as i would've liked, but overall, it looks a thousand times better! great work!
just found your channel a few weeks ago and been binge watching, I have seen all kinds of people who make over furniture in real life and on here but I have to admit your stuff is awesome and totally remarkable. you are deffo one of the best oh hell I'll just admit it here your the best I have ever seen and I seen many. and it's so relaxing to watch.oh I almost forgot to say that I can tell from the first one of your shows I watched your a totally professionalist and it shows through your work it's art and really amazing
Wow. I hated the flagstone stain until I saw the entire piece finished in different lighting. I'm genuinely shocked that it looks excellent. You have great instincts. I'll try to trust the process a little more next time :P
Old is new again! What a beautiful job. It’s not a dupe, there’s nothing like it out there. Not a restoration, it’s far better than the original. The use of that edge banding was genius! If you sell it let us know your inputs and profit.
The chest looks stunning! You do such beautiful work. Thank you for sharing the process with the public. It’s always interesting how your pieces turn out.
Awesome. The only thing that bothers me is the looks of that greyish stain on the veneer top. It looks much better on the wood. My opinion :) But all-around it is done with such precision and care... Beautiful.
New subscriber and just watched this video. I actually Love the waterfall/Art Deco furniture!!! 1920’s was Bad but ppl still wanted nice looking furniture. Cheaper built, but Lovely. The veneer Stripes was a fantastic problem solver instead of a whole piece of veneer!!!! I Loved that!!!!! The new colors look so elegant modern!!! Thank you for sharing your talents🌻💙🌻
Very unique using the edge banding to replace the veneer. I love all the variations in the wood. The black trim on the drawers is just the right accent. Great job! 🙂👍
We use a towel and a iron on steam when we remove veneer and it works way better than a heat gun for all our resto furniture. The moisture makes for less flaking. Just an idea 💡
I am so amazed at your talent. Not only the work and the finished furniture, but your editing 👌 Very nice all of what you do. And a thank you for no music. Superb dresser!
babe wake up, new modern makeovers just dropped

The transition at 1:10 was one of the best I’ve seen in these type of videos. Totally unexpected and perfectly done.
RIGHTTT
i think it was accidental but made a cool transition out of it
I came to the comments to comment this.... Its literally sooo smooth
I couldn't help but notice that too I really loved it
Literally I didn´t notice that this was a transition until I read this comment

I'm always amazed by your work and watching your process is so peaceful and calming. Well done again!
I'm not a fan of the style of the finished piece, but I still love your videos and your craftsmanship is incredible!
Beautiful work as always! I love the raw wood stain and black-washed handle combo! 💕
I love that you take something that a lot of people would throw away and you make it beautiful and unique ❤.
What a beautiful job you did! The gluing of the strips had me mesmerized. Glad you numbered them too.
This final outcome blew my mind.
New subscriber and just watched this video. I actually Love the waterfall/Art Deco furniture!!! 1920’s was Bad but ppl still wanted nice looking furniture. Cheaper built, but Lovely. The veneer Stripes was a fantastic problem solver instead of a whole piece of veneer!!!! I Loved that!!!!! The new colors look so elegant modern!!! Thank you for sharing your talents🌻💙🌻
😁🙏🏻❤️
Your patience and gentleness is beautiful and therapeutic! Deliberate is what I was thinking!
Very unique using the edge banding to replace the veneer. I love all the variations in the wood. The black trim on the drawers is just the right accent. Great job! 🙂👍
Wow that is beautiful, you did a great job. I didn't think the color would be as lovely at is but, it is stunning.
Great upgrade to this furniture it looks very attractive to the eyes. Take care thanks 😊
I love videos without talking! Thank you! Well done!
We use a towel and a iron on steam when we remove veneer and it works way better than a heat gun for all our resto furniture. The moisture makes for less flaking. Just an idea 💡
I am so amazed at your talent. Not only the work and the finished furniture, but your editing 👌
Very nice all of what you do. And a thank you for no music. Superb dresser!
