    Some of you asked what exactly this piece of furniture is, and I wasn't actually sure. So, I did some research. I believe it's a bedside or medical cabinet with a Bauhaus design, a style originating from Germany in the 1920s. Pretty cool!

      This piece would not go for under $2,500. A true antique. But I don’t know if it devalues that much because of the complete restoration. 🤔

    Fantastic transformation...as always. Very satisfying to see trash transformed to treasure. This scratches me right where I itch!
    By the way, I'm a Gen X'r with lots of experience, but I learned two important things today!
    1) You can give everyday steel a chrome-like finish! I had no idea!
    2) I have used 600grit for wet sanding in the past, but never knew there was a 2000grit!
    I have a very rusty tri square with wood handle, brass edge and metal ruler. I am going to do all of your techniques to bring back it's original lustre.
    My Dad gave it to me recently, and we build some things together, so it has sentimental value.
    Thanks! From Toronto

I have tried a 24hr soak in vinegar and baking soda and sanding with 80grit and WD-40. Am I right to assume some deep black stains might be impossible to remove?

    I’m nitpicking, but the only thing I’d have considered doing differently was painting/prepping the hinge so it was chrome to match the base.

    As I said before you are INSANE. Crazy talent, crazy craftsmanship, and an insane inspiration. Have to say I am beyond impressed more like mind blown.
    So this "alligatored" on you? Sorry, but it is comforting to know that I am not the only one with some bad luck here and there. A couple questions: Since this finish showscases and magnifies every tiny imperfection, would a "sanding primer" have been useful? Also, will the beautiful metal retain this shine or would a wax or some protective coating be beneficial?
    My 2 cents: the handle is wonderful, but to me, a vintage chrome handle would be better. In my area, there are 2 used restaurant supply "junkyards", and I am sure you could get a great handle from one of those places.
    I appreciate your humor. This vid actually made my day. Thanks.
