So nice of you to make skillshare offering. You’re just a nice person all way round. Looking forward to this video, and have to feed dogs first! I did not know of Skillshare, so now I do and I need many of their instructions to improve my life’s journey. Thank you for helping me enjoy my life. You are great! Keep remembering that! This yellow thing is so boss; can’t wait to see results of your work!
This piece of furniture is called a chifforobe. Chifforobe is a word type called a portmanteau, a word formed by blending two other words together, in this case chiffonier (chest of drawers) and a wardrobe (cabinet for hanging clothes). Chifforobes were first advertised in the United States in the 1908 Sears and Robuck catalog.
I love that word! Ive noticed its more common in the southern part of the United States, but i use it every chance❤ i get, because i think its a cool word
I have one made of solid maple. The lady sold it to me was the daughter of the furniture maker in Eastern Canada. On one side there is a pivoting brass gizmo to hold an array of ties and a mirror is inside that door. She called it a “gentleman’s wardrobe”.
Can't say I have ever heard them called that. Maybe it's an American name. Here is seems mainly to be called a gentleman's wardrobe, but I have heard tallboy and other names used over the years as well.
That veneer is magical and once you applied the last coat it transformed the piece. My favourite bit was "Mando in the cupboard"! He is such a character....
Bengal cats are well known for being a very vocal breed. They have a tendency for being independent cats but Mando seems to like the neighbourhood cats so it might be beneficial to get him a friend. Or you could just end up with two wild cats and it could be even more chaotic, lol.
I rescued a kitten that someone abandoned in a park restroom. My wife named her Silence. Believe it or not, she is living up to her name. But her voice is sweet and oh so darling.
That's true. We are parents of a 14 yo senior Bengal and he is still very active. When he gets bored he starts crying with an hilarious low voice 'moooooouuuuuu'. 😹He needs a lot of attention, I always have to play hide and seek with him. We love him so much! 💞 Btw our Maui looks just the same like Mango.
In the US, we call that a chifferobe. What defines the piece is the vertical spaces with drawers on one side and hanging space n the other. A tallboy, on the other hand, is simply a very tall dresser with drawers and no hanging space, just maybe a cubbyhole for hats.
@@amysbees6686 Where I'm from -- which is the Midwest -- a wardrobe is a free-standing unit that has hanging space all across the width. It there are drawers, they are at the bottom.
Welcome to Bengal parenthood! They are vocal, active, play rough and are very needy. They are amazing personalities. We lost our boy the Monday before Eater this year, we just rescued a little girl two weeks ago. We were looking for another Bengal, once you've had one there is no going back. As for the wardrobe - it came up beautifully, loved the second set of legs
I love the coat of the Bengal. I have a very common tabby, but he's a big cat, as in tall, bigger feet, etc. The personality sounds like my tabby! My cat Jax talks all the time, needy, always going, very lovable. He's a handful! I do adore him. Maybe some hidden Bengal in him???
Stunning transformation! Love that veneer. So exotic and the choice of mixing the oil with the pigment was pure genius. It made the grain in the veneer pop perfectly. Whoever ends up with that piece is very fortunate, indeed
Oh, that veneer is absolutely stunning, especially with that finish applied! Whatever you may call this piece of furniture, you've turned it into an absolute masterpiece. Also, how exciting is it to see the workshop staff grow!! Looking forward to more projects you two will tackle together! ♥
So unique. I love the veneer that you chose - the grain is just so wild. And the brass legs are perfect. Some of your comments just cracked me up - especially about the brass screws. You know, that may just become a nickname - Brass Screws, fancy AF 🤣😂
I was soooo prepared to dislike that veneer's final appearance. Then you switched the legs and hardware. What a wonderful new look, it all pulls together so beautifully! *MAGIC*
The brass hardware and new legs are a perfect finishing to this exotic piece ! Thank you for bringing us along on this journey and so glad you have such skilled helpers - two- and four-legged !
That veneer is absolutely gorgeous! And I love what you ended up going with for the legs. I've gotta say, I think "fancy AF" might just be an understatement in this case.
The grain on the veneer was wild it looked so good with the finish you choose.The legs and brass handles made it look very rich. I love it when you say “Bob’s your uncle”. Welcome new assistant your learning from the best!
Anyone remember The Furniture Guys that used to be on PBS? I loved them. Anyway, they'd use a hypodermic needle to add glue to tight cracks. In this instance, I think our hero made the better choice.
The first time I heard this expression, it was on a cooking show with Jamie Oliver. He says it all the time, and I get a kick out of hearing it in your videos. It’s so much more British than other options like “ta-dah” or “voila” to say “there you go” when you’ve finished a step in the process.
Its so uniquely you Jay. Love the heavy grain of the veneer. The wax oil color is perfect, i was afraid it was going to be too dark. But its not. The brass pulls and lega were absolutely the right choice. Love this piece!
My Bengal wasn’t very vocal, but his male sibling never shut up 😫 I like the veneer very much & the legs. I would like it better if the wood pieces were stained a little darker to match the dark grain of the veneer. Another job well done 👍🏼
The veneer is fabulous and the second set of legs make this a showpiece. Mando needs a full time friend. I had cats for 45 years. The meows in this case are ‘I want attention and company’.
I love the new veneer. Its different. Its nice to see something different. I love the brass legs much better. It brings the brass through out the piece.
You do come across the most unique furniture finds. I especially like the way you placed the grain horizontally & vertically on the front. Second set of legs are perfection & the simple knobs on the drawers are so fitting. Another fabulous job. Good that you have help. Now Mando & Hugo will have another human to supervise!

Welcome to Rod and him learning how to become fancy AF too ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Oh, those gold legs are beautiful! I can't get over the total transformation form old to new. Again, thanks so much for sharing these projects!
Great job as always, however I didn’t fell in love with the veneer… to “agressive”
Thank you for watching! 😊
Oh, those brass legs are perfect! They really compliment the piece. Nice job on the whole thing.
Thank you 🤩
That veneer is magical and once you applied the last coat it transformed the piece. My favourite bit was "Mando in the cupboard"! He is such a character....
Glad you like it! and Yes he is! 😄😺🐾
I love that you left in the mind-changes. It's a really important part of the creative process, and it's awesome to see.
Surprise surprise 😂😂😂 thank you mate, I do that all the time 😂

Bless you for rescuing your sweet kitty!🥰
Sounds like that's what it is. Well, love Mando regardless
@@Flippingdrawers Has Mando been neutered? That can make a difference on how much advertising a cat needs to do.
@@laineymcd4074 Yes this! Not being neutered will make him even more vocal than he would be otherwise.
Bengals are fabulously talkative!! Super amazing personalities!! You get used to talking to them!!

Good to know ;-)
I live in the US and have a piece of furniture similar and have always called it a wardrobe. Learn something new everyday. 🙂
I’ve often wondered if “chiffons” is more of a Southern US term, as living in the NE I’ve only seen it referred to as a wardrobe.
@@amysbees6686 Where I'm from -- which is the Midwest -- a wardrobe is a free-standing unit that has hanging space all across the width. It there are drawers, they are at the bottom.
The UK would call this a tallboy. For gentleman.

@@debk9889 Bengals do have tabby in them, they are a cross breed between Asian Leopard Cats and domestic cats, in America they used Ocelots.
@debraarbuthnott3380 Wow, didn't realize. Yeah, Jax is a domestic short-hair tabby, brown coloring. Thanks for the info!
beautiful transformation! i'd be proud to have this in my living room

whaaaaat!!?? that veneer grain is simply GORGEOUS!!! And I am happy you decided to change the legs, I like the final ones even better!
thanks , glad you like it 😍

Glad you think so!! 😊
The small brass legs are so much better, but I'm undecided about the veneer!!😮😊
The grain on the veneer was wild it looked so good with the finish you choose.The legs and brass handles made it look very rich. I love it when you say “Bob’s your uncle”. Welcome new assistant your learning from the best!

Love the entire look 🤩. That veneer is the bomb. The. Legs are perfect.
Glad you like it! 🙂
4:20 the tip about using floss to glue up a narrow crack is brilliant! Thanks so much!

Thank you! 🤗
@@Flippingdrawers Welcome!🤗
Its own Mother would not recognize it now. Beautiful job :)
Great decision to change the legs! The second set fits much better and looks so elegant!
Glad you like it!!
Why does Bob always have to be my uncle? Why can't he be a distant cousin or something?
Came out fantastic! Those new legs set it all off. 👏👏👏👏👏
A question for your grandparents 😂.

Thank you for your lovely comment! 🐾
I LOVED your choice of the legs! The veneer gave the piece a real classy look!
It's a chifforobe
I was going to suggest "compactom," but I think they have shelves, not drawers.
Very nice work!! 👌
Thank you! 🙂
Those legs look much better. 23:22
Beautiful. That veneer rocks!!!!
Lovely veneer and I like the legs on the final reveal much better.
Wow! What a great transformation. Good vision and execution..
