I recently watched some of your earlier videos and then I just watched your newest one today and I can see how far you've come in your skills. You do some amazing work and it's a pleasure to watch you develop and grow. Thank you for the great videos.
Thank you so much!!
I love that you restore things of age saving them from landfill (which is already overpopulated) but the beauty of your pieces. ❤️👏❤️
Thanks 💛
Oh my goodness!! That poor little chest of drawers needed a LOT of love! When you applied the oil, I could almost hear the wood absorbing it. The end result was fantastic!! You gave that sad little chest of drawers an elegant restoration! Well done, sir!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
I am so agree!
@@Flippingdrawers Sir!!! Very upset with you. You hurt me everytime you're hard on yourself. Can't you see all the beauty etc you're making from your brilliancy?!?! I am always in awe how you touch the projects and they turn into perfection. Please be easy on yourself. We have one life to enjoy. Try to do it more at ease. Never forget tomorrow isn't promised. I lost my husband 7-2-23. Life is too short. God bless. Love your work so much.
Love always
Me
He does wonders to all of his projects. I'm always in awe.
Not my favourite restoration but i take my hat off to you for your work. Personal taste differences, that's all. ❤
Such an elegant piece ❤ I love your work, you have an incredible skills and imagination to give to every one of your pieces a different look and personality! Please don't stop making this videos ever 😁 Thank you, have a great day!
Thank you so much!
Lovely! And thank you for putting the screw head grooves horizontal 😊
You’re welcome 😉
You always do a great job of repairing and finishing. Such as cutting the thin strips to cover up defects. That is how I do all of my edge banding. I make my own and never buy the factory edging.
Thanks 😊
The 3D artwork is amazing. I feel for you sometimes because I think some of the pieces you tackle aren't worthy of the amount of effort you put into them. However, you seem to really like the challenge, and there's always the potential to learn a new skill or technique. Plus, you always end up resurrecting these pieces and giving them a new life.
Thanks 😊
Well said. And I second that 👍🏼
Jay I’m running out of ways to say Wow! The legs ..perfect. The new handles..perfect. The scorching of the wood .. genius! Sometimes I wonder if you over think it but it never disappoints lol. You have unbelievable talent sir and I’m soooo appreciative that you share it all. I know you MUST love sanding bc you do a lot 🥴😂 love the dog squirrel comparison between you and the cats. Another beautiful work of art ❤️🇺🇸
@@jodidavis6595 that’s super kind. Thank you 🙏
Oh my goodness! This is not what I was expecting you to do with this monstrosity. It looks great now! I agree with you on the color of the first stain! I did a howl laugh at that! 😂 The cats hear you outside & they come running. 😻 So cute. I like your cat tee shirt too.
Thank you 😊 glad you had a giggle 🤭
Amazing transformation. Only thing I’m not sure about is the legs but that is very personal. Absolutely love the 3D design. ❤
Thank you so much!
As a retired nurse, I appreciated your reference to the Bristol scale was quite appropriate 😊. This piece turned out very well considering what you started with. Love seeing the wood grain pattern in the top.
😻
Ha! I am a retired nurse as well. But I left before the scale was in use. So…my thoughts went to the more descriptive side. If you know what I mean 😁
@lindabern2648 💩
@@FlippingdrawersIYKYK Are you a laboratorian?
I love the color contrast. You did very well picking it! I was hoping you were going to use that beautiful laser design you made on it and wanted to see where you were going to place it. I hope you use it soon on another project! I think you are so talented and creative - your thought processes are that of an artist/designer, not a typical woodcraftsman's. 🐱
Thanks 😊
Amazing transformation! It turned out beautifully. Those name-tag thingies that you covered the keyholes with really dress it up nicely. And your laser-art flower really turned out nice too!
Thanks so much! 😊
Thank you 😊
Wow!! You went in a direction that I was not expecting! No one would ever believe that was the same chest of drawers if they have not watched this video. Amazing, amazing work!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The lovely thing about rustic is you don't have to have things perfect. As long as it is solid and level, the finish can embrace imperfections and even some gouging and dents you might otherwise want to fill or even replace pieces of wood.
Agreed.
WoW. A ton of work, but an absolute masterpiece. Well done. Your work never disappoints 🙏❣️
Thank you! Cheers!
That really turned out great! Has a real retro feel. Well done!❤️
Thank you! 😊
This turned out so well from a mess. I truly enjoy watching your transformations, Jayy
Thanks so much! 😊
Wow! The previous owners would not recognize it! You art piece is lovely!
Thank you 🙏
The artwork is lovely - adds texture and interest to the photo without distracting from the piece you’re staging.
I love what you ended up doing with the dresser - those label holders give it an apothecary cabinet vibe that’s really charming!
Glad you like it. Thanks 😊
I love the wood burning technique and this little guy turned out so cool. I also love the merch design and the laser art! That laser cutter is really rad.
Thanks a bunch!
Anyone who welcomes the neighborhood felines for break times is okay in my book ❤
Wow! What a transformation!
I wonder if it had been a changing table for a baby in it's former life. ❤
In which case, the 💩stage was very appropriate!
First off, I love your Samurai statue. Secondly that was a beautiful makeover of a dresser that was in such a sad state. I never would’ve even thought about doing shou sugi ban on the dresser but it really sets the piece off.
Thank you so much!
That was a long road, but you got there in the end. Thank you for sharing this and for the giggles!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful end result!! Poor chest needed your rescue touch. I love pieces like this that have their own personality and you give them a new life.
Thank you 😊
Love this piece and the contrast with the drawers. I enjoy your trials with color and finish and that you show us the whole process of the design evolving as it happens. You are an artist.
Thank you so much!💛
Amazing transformation.. 👌 And that flower = wonderful 👏
Thanks a lot 😊
Jay, I feel your frustration over this project and piece. As always, it turned out amazing. I was worried you were planning to burn it up when the torch came out 😮😅. I absolutely love the 3D piece you created. By the way, I believe this is the first time I’ve seen you use the air sanders. They work amazingly well. Also, Hugo was adorable in this video. Clearly he loves his cuddle time with you.
Another beautiful transformation. I love the way you can see the hidden beauty in these pieces and have the skill to bring them back to life.
Definitely eclectic. For me, I’d paint the legs darker. What a journey. I keep picturing Al Pacino and a flame thrower!
Lol thank you 😊
This one was a lot of work and you have great patients. I love how this turned out it has rustic charm and so much character, those legs are so cute they make the piece look as though it could run off down the hallway at any minute.
The way you turn a piece of trash into treasure is always amazing to watch! Your 3D art looks great too!
We are always our own worst critics. While you may feel some kind of way about this piece😉..... I think you did an amazing job. Your techniques and skill brought out the wood grain and it's beauty..... even if your not thrilled, it's beautiful!! Thanks for sharing🥰
What a task to transform this piece! Nice.
Seeing the condition of the wood, and just the overall original build quality - I didn't think it was worth saving. But what you did with it and the end result, is absolute magic! Amazing work!
The 3d printing is amazing!
Nothing would be possible without Cat's consultancy and supervision!
I really, really like that one! It may be the biggest transformation you’ve done. It would look good in an office. And thank you for showing all the ups and downs and change of plans. It helps us not feel crazy when we do that🤗❤️🐝 oh! I love the wooden flower you made. I could look at that for hours tracing the lines. I know…. I’m strange lol🤗
Ha ha thanks for watching 💛💛
@@Flippingdrawers You’re welcome🤗❤️🐝
Yes that makes sense. I love how you put pieces of broken wood back together with actual wood. So refreshing. Beautiful work on this piece. You have a gift!
I always love the way you select pieces that are a challenge and this was no exception. I have to say at this point that I absolutely hate the trend to burn everything in sight and call it good. On this occasion I am dubious but still feel that a black stain, similar to the one you used on the handles may have been a better choice, but that's my dislike of burning taking over. I have never heard the phrase Batman Hardware before and intend to use it whenever I can. Brilliant description.
The end product was as good as could be expected from what you had to work with and I cannot find any faults in your repairs. Keep 'em coming and look after your visitors/inspectors.
I’d watch you for the random cats anyway, but you’re so creative with your ideas that your channel fascinates me! Like your sense of humor, too!
Reminds me of a circus tent. Great job , as usual.
Love all the neighborhood cats, they obviously love you !
Circus tent? How come?
This piece is phenomenal. Loved how it turned out. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! Cheers!
I am laughing right now. I saw that stain you mixed and ( being a life long healthcare worker) thought to myself, “That actually looks like s#*t!” 🤣🤣🤣😎. Anyway, I kept thinking, ok now he’s gonna give up and paint it…..NOPE! You conquered the beast and ended up with such a gorgeous magical piece. Only you Jay! Thanks for sharing. I always look forward to your posts.
Lol thanks 😊 glad you had a laugh
All your hard work paid off Jay!! The piece turned out absolutely gorgeous 😍 🖤🤎 And your 3D artwork OMG 😍💜💜
Thank you so much!!
“And I hated it.” You are so honest and entertaining at the same time. I could not guess where you would end up with this piece but you did good.
Another rescued! Excellent!
Your talent is limitless. I am so impressed with your you're uniqueness, and style of your pieces. You're very, very creative 💕
Thanks for helping me appreciate that even experts have to resort to trial and error sometimes. Though it took a few tries, I think the result was much more than acceptable, especially considering the state the piece was in when you started. Another example of kindling turned into a beautiful accent.
Thank you and I’m no expert 😉
And some of the experts don't show their indecision. They just edit.
Very impressive transition.
I think you do a fantastic job and what I like best is you admit you hate something and you redo it. I think that happens more with other people who restore things than they want to admit. You want to get it just right which says a lot about the quality of your work. I also really like your voiceovers. Thank you.
Fantastic result. I would love to own this.
Many thanks!
Hey Jay, this piece really turned out sharp looking. I really like the whole different style you did. Sometimes that happens to us. We think we know what we want yet when it’s done it’s not even close. What you did for the last time was perfecto. I like style of handles n the cute little piece you used for the key holes. And the legs another perfecto. Nice shape to them.
I truly admire you n especially how you take so much pride in your work.
Aren’t you glad you gave up your job so you can be doing what you love ( and your good at it too).
♥️♥️♥️😊👍👍👍🌟🌟🌟
PS. I like that new sander you used the smaller one. You’ve got more tools (some great ones too) more than Carter has pills.
😆😆
Ha ha thank you 😊 much appreciated
You took that chest of drawers from life support and breathed new life into it. Bravo.
Neighborhood cats are like grandchildren. They come for a visit, you enjoy their company and spoil them, and then send them home. 😀
😊❤
You did it again you took a piece that most people wouldn't touch and make it usable again !!!
Love From OKLAHOMA
Thank you 😊
Wow!!! I'm always impressed with your work, but this one blew me away.
And that laser cut flower is gorgeous!!!
Thank you 😊 the laser thing is really cool
Beautiful change!
Your tenacity, when it comes to repair, is an absolute gift from God!
I had great doubts, but you made it beautiful. I would say again, but I don't think that even new that it was beautiful.
Wow, thank you!
Мастер, мне очень нравится, как устроена Ваша мастерская, большое количество и разнообразие инструментов! Нравится Ваш юмор! Желаю вам счастья!
That’s very kind. Thank you 😊
The shou sugi ban technique truly elevates the piece. It’s funny how rectifying mistakes can create something so beautiful. Brilliant job!✊🏾
Thank you 😊
I love it. That was ingenious torching it. The grain on top really popped after the torching.❤
Thank you! Cheers!
Do the cats ever jump up on something that is drying? You designed a brilliant solution! You are so innovative. The custom art piece is beautiful. Thanks for sharing! Peace and love..Suz What ☮️💛
Funny you ask, in one of my older videos the ginger cat jumped on a large sheet of veneer covered with glue 😂😂😂
@@Flippingdrawers I will have to look. I thought I’d seen them all. I’m elderly so maybe I just don’t remember. 😁
That was quite the journey. But I love the results!
Decisions, decisions. It turned out beautifully. Far better than I had expected.
I can say the same 😂
I absolutely love the piece you created with your laser. Burning the wood isn’t what I would have thought of, but I like how it turned out. The drawers before the hardware you added were so plain looking. But I love the pulls and the little label inserts. It opens the piece up to more functionality like a storage cabinet in a home office, an entryway piece, or a bedroom/living room piece. Really like how this turned out. NK you gave the piece more respect and appreciation than whoever did those red drawers.
I really like the shou sugi ban finish on the carcass. I used that technique years ago on a wood beam I used for a mantelpiece before I knew that it was an ancient Japanese wood finishing process. Very nice!
Thanks 😊
I like that you gave it an industrial feel without actually using industrial parts and colors.
I meant to comment on the wood accent you made to stage this chest of drawers. It’s pretty great!
Cool, thanks!
That’s the best transformation I’ve seen yet. Wow.
Thank you 😊
Nice contrast....love Shou sugi Ban.........however thought the legs should be black/Shou Sugi Ban as well. Sorry, just my opinion, didn’t mean to offend you.
So much work, but I think was worth it!!! It ended being a modern and beautiful piece!!! Congrats Jay!!! You're a genious!!!! ❤❤❤❤
Great work, well done!
Thanks a lot!
Cool to see the journey, it turned out great!
When I heard your voice, I wondered if you might be Polish. Then, when I saw the quality of your work, I knew that you had you be Polish. (Plus, your ironic sense of humor is so very Polish.) Twoje prace są piękne. Masz powód do dumy. (My Polish is very weak. I needed to use an Englsh-to-Polish translator app. So please forgive me if this came out sounding clumsy.)
You made it look perfect!! I love the burn technique. From junky to AWESOME!! Great job!!😊❤
Wow, what a difference! Even though it was frustrating, you ended up with a beautiful piece. It looks great. And the 3D piece you made for the presentation is stunning. I loved all of it, especially with the addition of Hugo and the samurai guy! Oh and the merch, I love that one of the designs is “2000 years later.” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You made me chuckle. I hated it too but it turned out great!!
Lol
You never disappoint. Like that you didn't give up on working this poor piece to your satisfaction. You done good on this one.
Wow, thank you!
Another amazing customised piece. I really enjoy watching watching and listening to your videos.
Cheers from Australia.
Might want to check-out a fellow creator (if you don't already know about the channel) who does innovative furniture makeovers like you. The channel is Modern Makeovers, and Canadian, Andy, does great, creative work. He makes many of his own pulls, like you, too. 😊 He, also, is a master videographer and furniture staging pro, IMHO. P.S. Have you thought of starting a laser creation business? Sure many folks would buy your pieces.
Type 7 on the Bristol Stool Chart 😂😂😂
Come on, now. You knew the second you mixed up that stain that it wasn't going to work. 😂 That was awful.
I'm not sure it was worth ALL of that work and ALL those additions for a pine dresser, but the transformation is awesome!!! I love the legs, handles, burn technique, 2 tone, and 3D art. What a cool piece!!!
P.S. I love the kitties. 🤍
I was right there with you, hating the way it looked at every step! But the end result is really nice, and I’m impressed with the overall look. Those handles probably looked horrid on whatever you took them off of, but they’re surprisingly perfect for this project. This needs a second stamp on the back. “Flipping Drawers” and “Miracle Worker!”
I LOVE THIS! We are kindred souls because I seem to have a penchant for wanting to repair what others believe is too far gone. You did such a great job. 💗
You’ve racked up another amazing transformation.
I love the super-technical term, “Thingies.” LOL!!!
You are so artistic ! I was surprised at your determination/patience in the redo's and it paid off. I admire the thoroughness of your work. The final results have a desirable energy that is a direct result of the love you pour into each project. And by "love" I refer to your self respect in maintaining such high standards of workmanship.
Another thing I always think of is how much you have improved your workshop - it's a joy to behold.
Like everyone else I loved the 3D artwork. Regarding the Batman drawer pulls, I had a lovely curved front secretary that someone had put the same exact painted Batman drawer pulls. I could never find the original style, I knew they weren't the Batman style. Eventually I moved and couldn't bring my secretary, very painful decision. I hope she's fine.
That pink monstrosity brings back the memories. At some time in the 1950's, a defenseless little girl had that Disney-princess monstrosity thrust upon her, a piece that conveys "good girls are feminine, fancy, attractive and perfect," while the adult who gave it to her spent as little money and time on her as possible. My god, the brushstrokes! Were they even sober? In redesigning the piece you haven't just produced something beautiful, you have exorcised an imp.
Stunning transformation. And that three-dimensinal aftwork- WOW! Lisa Mackres
Ohmygoodness I absolutely love what you did to bring beautiful, new life to the sad worn out (kind of ugly) dresser❗❗❗I wish I lived in the UK and had the means to purchase any of your pieces😁👌
Wow, Jay even though this project was a big pain in the back side, it looks stunning! It is just beautiful and the hardware and legs just enhances the uniqueness! As usual you pulled this ugly piece out of the dump and made it look gorgeous! Excellent job! 😊❤
Now THAT was an ugly duckling for sure, but you worked your magic on it and made it look fabulous! Don't you hate it when your plan takes longer to gel than you had planned?? The thing I love about your videos is that you don't let it get you down, you just step back, take a cat break and get back into the project. 😁😊
Amazing transformation. Two-Tone pieces are my favourite. Inspired ideas to make the pinky pine a beauty ready for love🩷🩷🩷
I love the 3D flower. ❤️ Oh my gosh!!!
Thanks 😊
"Anyway I'm just do lot of sanding to keep you entertained." Come on, the sanding is for you, we're just coming along for the ride. Lol
You are doing what I dreamed of doing as a young adult. But it never happened and I see I lack your creativity. To me, you are like “A conversation with wood” to see what it wants to
Be. Bravo! - David H.
Sir you have an endless supply of visiting cats! Just when I think I've seen them all, a new floof appears 😂 Also, as always, your transformation work is inspiring. Thank you for sharing
You are very talented and do a wonderful job on the restoration projects I have seen in your videos. I can't help feeling that your talents would be better used on higher quality pieces. Like beautiful Antique pieces with more luxury woods. But then, my own passion is Victorian and other Antiques.
You're talented but this piece I did NOT LIKE THE FINAL color!!!
When you sanded that last color off I said that's it! I really like that so,so much.Thanks for all that hard work you went thru just for us. God Bless. Hugs, Rebekah
