I strip and refinish this c.1900 chest of drawers with hopes of letting it continue to age gracefully.

Thanks!
Wow, super generous of you. Thank you very much, very grateful 🙏
You don't have lots of fancy tools and a big workshop full of different machines but you still do amazing work most of the times. You resurrected this beautiful piece of furniture ❤️
Hi, let me give you some info on your chest? the chest is Victorian c1870 made out of yellow pine which would of been scrumbeld to look like Oak/Mahogany/Walnut, Basically it's was a poor mans chest that couldn't afford the real thing, The beading round the drawers was put on at a later date, The turned feet have been cut down and they have added wooden drawer nobs (which are Victorian) to make the length up, These chests are worth a lot of money in original condition because many of them have been stripped over the years to the natural pine and waxed because it was fashionable at the time
You are a legend and I love this comment, thank you!! Really appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge! I did try to do some research but struggled to find much, thank you again 😎
And if it’s 1870, it’s 19th century, not 18th.
Yes, I made an error there. Thanks
I was getting ready to comment that the beaded trim was almost certainly added later, My mom used the same trim in the 70s to “decorate” the doors on an old cabinet she refinished
Why does a smart ass always have to come on and be so rude. This guy made the chest absolutely beautiful...no matter what the date or century. But there is no need to be rude!! Lets see some of your restoring jobs...@derranbryne7223
I've never seen threaded feet like that!! Super interesting!! Thanks for sharing!!
This is why I hate people painting natural wood. Excellent, hard work for you to restore!!!
Handsome Piece! A Little too Dark for Me Personally but You Really made the Wood Grain Shine! So Nice. The New Handles aren't Quite right. Too Flat. I Think Something Similar in Size and Shape to the Originals but in Metal. You Make a Very Good Spokesperson (Yes I did watch the Commercial)! I'm not Surprised, You have a Great Positive Attitude and Communication Skills! Mmmm, Cookie!😊😀🍪🍪🍪😋
I usually don’t like dark stain but this old girl was screaming for it! I personally like the brass cup pulls you used and that this piece has a tale to tell! It’s character that you left is what makes it charming!
Thank you Linda, I appreciate your feedback. Cheers for tuning in :)
Wood is so forgiving. I am surprised people do not restore their own instead of buying new ones. I don't care for pine but I love the old craftsmanship and love some folks take the time to save these pieces. Cheers.
You restored its personslity. Beautiful!
Fantastic! Well done. And if you ever need anyone to sit and pick paint out with a dental tool, give me a shout. I could happily do that all day!
Absolutely love this piece! I grow tired of the "perfect restoration" videos on RUclips. These types of refurbs give the piece alot of character, and makes it feel more welcomed in a home. Kudos!
Thank you for your feedback, I really appreciate it. Pleased you enjoy the character, I like it too!
Fabulous work as always. Love the fact that you did not over restore and allowed this wonderful old piece to retain its character. I have just the place for it in the hallway. 💛
Wow Cole, just amazing work man! This went from scary clown vibes to an amazing piece with so much character!
I actually thought of you when I was stripping this one. All that white paint you had to tackle on your trash piece, so painful!! Cheers for tuning in mate 😎
It’s like rescuing a living, breathing thing.
Looks like s lovely vintage piece. Very functional for storage. If that piece could talk! Carol from California
It doesn’t look good. You should apply first pre stain conditioner after sanding. This step prevents blotching.
I think it looks as I was hoping, your opinion of it not looking good is quite rude but I'm a big boy and my feelings are not hurt 😂 A lot of the blotching was due to leaving intentionally leaving some of the original patina. But yes, a conditioner sounds like something I will consider next time. Cheers
Oh man, I could listen to your kiwi accent forever! Great job, as always! ❤
Well done Cole, that one proved to be an exercise in perseverance. Once again you have saved something and given it a new lease of life!
I love this! You've hopefully added another couple of hundred years to it's life and it looks incredible!❤❤❤
You, young man, do a remarkable, quality job! Looks wonderful!
I have such deep appreciation for those like you who take the time to honor these treasures. You worked meticulously on this old piece. It's full of charm and beauty once again.
I love that you left some of the dents and dings. Getting all that paint off was a chore, but paid off in the finished piece. Nice work!!
Thank you, I am pleased you enjoyed the finished piece :)
For me, I'd like it a bit lighter but like the restoration. Respect.
Thank you Becca, appreciate your feedback :)
I watched the sponsored bit just to see your cheery face! Now I know where your son gets his smiles from.
Oh thank you, very kind. I am pleased in inherited my smile 😎
I really love the original knobs.
Yes, those horrible handles
destroy his entire
beautiful work . . . . 😞
Oh my goodness! So glad you were able to get your hands on this! You brought it back to life and it looks gorgeous! Personally, I like the drawer pulls you used. They look really good and match the style of the chest. I love watching your videos! Of course Sonny is absolutely cute as can be! He's growing to fast though! Love how the chest turned out! Have an awesome week! Blessings to you and your family! 😊❤
Thank you Pam, always lovely to hear from you! I am getting mixed reviews about the pulls but that was expected! Pleased you like the final result, thank you for tuning in again. Take care 🤗🤗
Very handsome piece. It reminds me of something maybe a man or bachelor would like in his room. And the brass handles were perfect. I wouldn’t change them. I love the satin too. You do such good wrk. I enjoy your channel. And your lil baby is adorable 🇺🇸❤️
You're brave for tackling this one! The handles usually isn't my favorite, but on this piece it looks good! I recently learned a new word in English, Escutcheon! Thats the key hole cover😊. Hi from Sweden👋
Thank you, it was quite testing! Now I have learned something too then, Escutcheon! And cheers for backing me up on the other commenter, that was very kind. Take care 🤗
I love what you have done with this piece! Cleaned up with the character intact!
Wow it is absolutely beautiful. You are a true artist.
Thank you so much 😀
18th century means the 1700s. So it is early nineteenth century.
You learn something every day, thank you. I have updated the thumbnail but sadly can't change my vocal reference in the video. Thanks for clarifying!
Nice transformation. I think I would have preferred a white wash or lighter finish, but great job removing all those layers of paint.
WOW. She looks gorgeous with her new clothes. I love how you deliberately did not get rid of all her imperfections and stained her as is, and the handles suit her. She looks great for it. Another great project.
I would have used a pine or light oak stain and kelp the old pulls. But you did a great job on it and tons of work on removing all the paint. It looks 100% better.
I really like your camera work and narration which make it easy to see and understand what you are doing. You show such patience in that detail work. Thanks.
Especially when it takes you 87 years to finish😂
Regardless of some of the negative comments I give you kudos for transforming an ugly piece into a beautiful swan! Thank you for sharing!
I swear I heard the wood take a grateful breath when you stripped off that paint! I love your videos.
That cameo of Sonny with the cookie is priceless. I’m always happy to see him in your videos.
What a lot of work! It turned out beautiful. I love the dark stain and the new handles.
You did a sympathetic and precise restoration of this old chest of drawers. I bet it could tell many stories, sadly we will never know! Love your channel.🤗🇦🇺
Oh My stunning old girl…..yep still beauty in us oldies😂😂
I think you accomplished your goal. It looks phenomenal. Great job!
You turned this dresser from a barn find to a great piece for an entryway. Nice job!
Thank you! 😊 Very kind!
While you have done a good job with cleaning & preserving, the stain seems to have a lot of color variance, which is not typical to Victorian finishes. Pine, maple, & a few other woods commonly have this problem when stained. A coat of shellac under the stain, as a general rule, will help to even out the stain variance. However, you likely need to apply some toner or a color finish coat to unify the stain color. There were pieces of Victorian furiture that had wooden knobs. Because the piece has faux coloring to mirror a more expensive wood, they were likely metal with a Victorian style.
Really like the choice of handle. I think leaving the character on the piece was a brilliant idea. Good job.
He has done a great job,
but the handles are
horrible, sorry .
Looks like at some point someone dug out the wood to get the top drawers open. Nice save!
Looks awesome! Lead paint is terrifying.
Absolutely in love with this result!
Great work. This piece deserves to be functional for another century or so. My only wish is that you had not used such a dark stain. But, well done and thanks for sharing.
Прекрасное воплощение из гадкого утенка , в Красивого ЛЕБЕДЯ !
You did the piece justice. I like the handles though maybe a rubbed bronze color would not be so striking. Anyway great job!
Thank you, I appreciate your kind feedback :)
You did a tremendous redoing this gorgeous, old chest! I love that you left so much character in the piece. I love it! Thank you!❤
Nice save. I'm not that keen on the dark stain, might have gone with something a bit lighter. But it ain't my piece and you did wonders with it.
What beautiful work. Congrats! BTW, the 18th century is 1700-1799. 1800-1899 is the 19th century.
WOW, lots of work, layers and layers, great job, very nice !
This is the loveliest restoration ive seen for ages. Really like that you chose to let its history shine through. I always admire the skill that goes into any restoration, but this is the first piece i've wished I could own! Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much for you considered feedback, I really appreciate it 😊
First let me thank you for calling it a chest of drawers. Too many people call it a cabinet. You did a fantastic job. Taking it from trash worthy to home worthy.
So beautiful. Brilliant!
I didn't like the dark stain and didn't like the handles but each their own it was a good restoration
Great transformation ❤
Hey, love your work. My 2 cents worth ... I would have worked some contrast between the stain and natural wood. Staining all of it dark made it heavier somehow? Maybe leave the top lighter and tge draw fronts with the carcass dark?
I would prefer the wooden handles, they "fit" better.
I love seeing pieces saved
I prefer the natural rugged look more for this piece
So pleased you like the result, thank you for watching :)
Phew. You worked hard on this old piece. Great restoration. Subscribed. Daft not too.😅
I really like that you didn't make it look new. Love it just the way you finished it.
Hello,Kiwi. The best of people are here, I find. First viewingbof your channel. Thsnk you. And your comments are a learning experience.
A Job well done. You restored it's dignity
The Kiwi accent _is_ cute. Keep up the excellent work. Now, if we can just scale back the manufacturing, we'll hasten conservation of our precious resources.
Congratulations on the beautiful work. It's great to see people who are dedicated to these restoration projects.
Direct hugs from Brazil
Beautifully done 😊
Looks absolutely fantastic!! You gave it new life as a more elegant chest of drawers... love it!!! ❤️
That chest sure had a lot of abuse with nasty, coloured toxic paints, chipboard top and clunky knobs. You gave it a great new lease on life. I like those new half-moon drawer pulls and its stained and oiled refinishing. Congratulations.
@Flipitnation well done! Thanks for removing the mdf...that stuff is toxic and ugly.
How nice to see an old piece finished to the point of having kept its look of a dresser that retains its character that has aged like fine wine. Your choice was spot on in deciding to not make it look brand new, but time worn and still very much having a lot more life to give to someone's home. Something to pass down to the next generation, eh?
You did well to get the paint off. I’m not sure what makes you think this is early 18th century? I think it’s much, much later from what I could see in the video. The stain wasn’t my cup of tea but it was certainly better than the paint 👍
WOW!! What an amazing restoration of that old beauty. Hello from a new US subscriber!
Great job on this piece Cole! A+!! 💯🥇🥃
Hi, I flip furniture, a lot of hard work, but I love the finished look. You kept the age of the piece, which is nice. Well earned coffee or something stronger lol
Please be careful....check for lead paint.
I literally just wrote that.....great!
time lapse and sound effects for paint stripper are excellent! nice job!
Your voice reminds me of Bryce Casey from The Rock (radio station NZ)
With only three banks of drawers it's highly unlikely that it is 18th century.
You done a great job with this little dresser. I love the feet it has. Thank you for sharing with us. ❤
Beautiful job!! I like the handles. Blessings 🙏👍👍👍❤️
Wonderful job. Loks like it would be at home in a period drama.
Incredible transformation! You are meticulous!
Oy😢, what people do to these poor pieces of furniture. It makes me 😪
Not a fan of the stain - the natural kauri pine was beautiful - but glad to see it restored.
Your chest looked really great ofter it was all done. Loved it
I usually don’t like Dark stain but this turned out beautiful.
Покрывать краской такой шикарный комод - кощунство!
Вы дали ему новую жизнь!
Приятно смотреть на вашу работу)
Спасибо большое, мне приятно, что вы так думаете :)
Wonderful job! Loving that distressed look.
I was not surprised at how it turned! You are a great restorer. ❤
Sorry acetone is not the solvent for shellac get denatured alcohol.
You are mistaken naming the centuries: 18th century means 1700 - 1799 whereas 19th century means 1800 - 1899. Now we live in the 21st century....
And simply disgusting use Phillips screws on antique furniture!
Yes, I realised that all too late 🙃 Thank you for your clarification, cheers
she is beautiful
A loving restoration! Bravo!
That trim on the drawers just isn't right. 🤔🤔
You mean early 19th century not early 18th century early 18th would make it early 1700 s .
Yes, realised the mistake all too late 🙃
Looks horrible. The stain is terrible, patchy and too dark. The wooden border around the drawers needs to be removed, it’s not original. Brass handles don’t match.
Aren’t you a treat. For someone that likes cats, I’m surprised you don’t have an ounce of kindness in your approach. Just nasty. It’s a shame your attempt at tearing me down brings you a sense of gratification.
I think this is quite the remarkable result, given the starting point. I like the hardware. Excellent stain choice to mask some of the challenging bits of this piece. I wonder if those two wooden pieces above the drawers are original.
Thank you very much! I wondered that too, they were made from oak and were covering some imperfections so likely not original. Cheers :)
Hand sawn dovetails! Cool! Dont give up on the old locks. They are pretty simple, and over the years i have collected old keys at sales, junk shops etc. i can almost always find a key that fits now. Enough oil and the locks usually start to work. Then i take my old key to a lock shop and get a copy. Came out great! I would switch over to flat head screws when you get around to it, those old knobs will be just the thing on another piece. You have great taste!
It certainly looks better than before.
