    Us Aussies are not normally complimentary to you Kiwi's but mate you did a FREAKING AMAZING job. I have managed a joinery making high quality timber joinery and I don't think we could of done any better. In fact I think the stigma of working with something less than perfect would have prevented us even giving it a go. I am trying to flip some furniture now and I am so in awe. On ya Cole!! 👍

      Cheers boss, appreciate the encouragement! I lived your way for 15 years and have not long moved back to NZ. Missing a lot about the place! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment, might hit you up for a job when I'm back over there ;)

      @flipitnation Hi Cole, what sort of work/industry are you in? Just curious, something telling me to ask lol

    • @flipitnation
      @flipitnation  Год назад +1

      Sorry mate, have only just seen your response!! I owned a couple of cafes in Australia and then got into ecommerce focusing on online retail. But I’ve always enjoyed working with tools and actually got offered a carpentry apprenticeship about 8 months ago but the wages that come with that were a small hurdle I couldn’t quite swallow at this point in my life. Got into flipping furniture/content creation instead and it’s changed my life. Hope the furniture flipping is going well for you, pretty satisfying when you give something a new lease on life, and some good pocket money if you decide to sell your pieces 😉 Cheers 🍻

    The dresser came out great but that little boy is such a cutie. Enjoy these years while you can because I can tell you from experience in the blink of an eye they suddenly are adults, and you're wondering where did the years go. In 1982 I went to Antarctica with the National Science Foundation and had the absolute pleasure to spend time in Christchurch. It is such a beautiful city. I hope someday to be able to return for another visit. Greetings from Northern New Jersey, USA

      That sounds like an epic story, not many can say they have been to the South Pole. What an awesome experience that must have been. Recently I sold a piece of furniture to a couple that worked in Antarctica - they worked in hospitality and ran the bar. I guess everyone needs a beer at the end of the day when the work is done! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment :)

    Hey Cole, I have just binge watched all your video's when I really should be working. I love your content and enjoy watching your process! I'd love to see a little more about the budget ie: purchase, cost of materials and then the sale price, I'm sure others would too and I think it'd make a nice little addition to your videos. Cheers.

    Hi Young Kiwi fella, I’m new to your channel. I’m from across the ditch. Melbourne to be exact. I get so amazed at all you chaps who can turn a piece of revulsion into a thing of beauty! Well done, mate! It was a hard slog but you got there in the end. Yeah, really well done. I can’t help myself! I’m a born recycler and you fit the bill to a T. I love your little fella. What’s his name? He makes a nice little interlude, whilst you scratch your…. Head, as to what to do next. I’m sold! I’ll be back for more. Good luck. I hope you can turn it into a profitable bizzo, 😮🎉❤️🦘

    Have you tried those hard wax crayons that you melt into dings etc or those felt tip touch up pens? I think you can get them from Mohawk? I think they works better than regular paint most of the time, if you'd like a more invisible touchup
