- In this RUclips video, I restore painted and woodworm infested drawers. I strip and upcycle this piece of furniture to its former glory. I'll cover the necessary steps, from treating the woodworm infestation to repairing any damaged areas and refinishing the dresser. Whether you're dealing with a similar issue or simply want to learn more about furniture restoration, this video will hopefully provide a few helpful easy-to-follow tips.

Your tenacity paid off! It was wise to walk away, recharge and take a breather❤
I admire your perseverance and workmanship. Paint is never my first choice, but I’m pretty sure I’d have gone there with this one. Kudos!
Thank you very much, I came close to painting but pleased a saw it through!
Great job...love the “jewelry!”
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 :)
You’ve got a good eye with picking out furniture for sure
I appreciate seeing how you dealt with the woodworm damage. I just bought a 100+ year-old house with woodworm damage in the entryway floors. I'll try your technique for sure!
Best of luck to you, I bet the house is absolutely amazing. I'd love to get my hands on a home with so much history! Thank you for watching :)
Wood worms damage is the worst! But you’ve managed to save the project!
WOW. She has legs and she knows how to use them. I'm so glad you persevered because she looks gorgeous. When you feel beaten about a project the best thing is to walk away for some time, be it an hour or two or even for a day so you can take a mental break from it and come back feeling hopefully invigorated and more determined. I sew and do arts and crafts and sometimes I do this with either project. Having ADHD I try not to leave it too long otherwise I won't go back and it's left unfinished. Great project.
Well done you for sticking with it, I’d have thrown in a skip before you had got to the patch ups! 😂
I feel like I came close at times 😂😂 Thank you
The new brass handles look great with the color of the stain you used and the shape of the handles complements the style of the dresser. Very nice!!
Hi,
The dresser looks great.Really nice job.
Thanks
You did a great job. It was a mess when you got it; but I love that you like a challenge.
I thought the wood worm damage might be the end! But you actually nailed it with your solution! Excellent restoration and beautiful outcome! Thank you for sharing your amazing talent! 😊
You have done a great job Mate, loved the matching paint process Thank's for the share and have a nice day all . !!!. Brain UK !!!. 😀😀😀👍👍👍.
Wow. I’m very impressed with what you did there. It’s gorgeous now. Great job hiding all that damage.
Thank you very much, I appreciate it! 😎
Carl, love your channel and your work. Also love listening to you talk. 🤣 Looking forward to more great videos.
Thank you you so much mate, I really appreciate your support!! The accent seems to be of interest to many 😂😂
@@flipitnation I think it's one we don't hear much of to be honest. I'm subscribed to another NZ YT channel and she has a nice accent as well.
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.
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
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 🍻
Great video! Great restoration. Thanks for sharing;. George from Florida, USA
Unbelievabl ...fantastic👍👍👍
WOW! BEAUTIFUL!
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, 😮🎉❤️🦘
Gidday, I spent the last 15 years in Australia and the last 5 were in your neck of the woods! Great spot, miss it alot! The little guy is called Sonny, keeps me very busy when not sanding my knuckles to the bone. Thanks heaps for tuning in, love the support! Cheers
Nice touch on the dovetailed joints
Watching you remove the pain this way is very satisfying to the viewer. Whatever works, smarter not harder, right? Great job!!
A-Flippen-Mazing job of saving this dresser from the landfill.
You've definitely been able to evolve your skill set!
Love seeing you share a bit of your bouncing baby boy. He's a cutie... stay safe, happy and healthy!
Hello from Southern California USA 🇺🇲
Thank you very much, yes this piece certainly tested my skills and I learnt a lot!! Cheers for tuning in and taking the time to comment. Hey from NZ, stay well!
Beautiful. Nice. Work.
Thank you very much!
Well done! I think I would've just painted it. 😂. So many holes! It think you did a great job giving this a new life.
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great job on disguising the wood worm damage xx
Thank you very much 👌🏼
It turned out quite okay.Good job!!!
💜💜💜Very Nice job!
Thank you very much :)
Great transformation
Wow, you resurrected the dead on this one!!!! That was one very unlovely piece of furniture 😖 but you really did a great job as always!
Thank you 🙏 It was certainly was unlovely to begin with! Pleased you enjoyed the result 😎
You did an amazing job! Your determination and skills are admirable.
(Your Assistant is a littlest clumsy…but very cute!)
Thank you very much, very kind of you. Yes, lucky his cuteness makes up for his clumsy chubby baby fingers 😂
Bro it looks mean! Painting over the borer filler was genius.
Hi from the Hutt! Keep up the great work
Kudos to you for refinishing the wood on this one. I would probably just have painted it black over all that wood filler. Well done.
Thank you very much, I came close to painting!
Great job! Love your channel. You'll grow quickly.
Thank you for tuning in again! I decided to start narrating again after your comment on the last one. I think it’s my preferred style too 😎
wow what a difference....well worth the effort
Good save!
Thank you very much!
An ugly duckling into a beautiful swan! Cheers! Ken from Alabama USA
Cheers Ken :)
Beautiful restoration
That was an awesome transformation! I bought a wardrobe from Trade Me and found it has borer in the rear. I no longer need it and want to flip it, so this video was helpful. Keep up the good work, from Whangaparaoa 🙂
TradeMe is hit and miss isn't it, also though so much more reliable and less frustrating than fb marketplace. "is this available?" Thank you for watching :)
Outstanding work. Such a beautiful restoration.👍👍
Great save! The transformation is amazing, well done!
Fantastic job!! Great save.
God it's gorgeous now. So different to how it started and I absolutely LOVE the new hardware. A lot of work. Well done.
Thank you very much, I really appreciate it! 😎👌🏼
Beautiful job! Congratulations!🌷🌷
Greetings from Florida! Where I've never seen woodworm in furniture, thank goodness! Wonderful save on this poor dresser! The pulls are quite elegant and look fantastic.
Hey there in Florida! Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment, yes woodworm is nasty!!
Beautiful work, 👍♥️
Great save!
Unbelievable. Great job.
Amazing job!
Excellent job!
Do you look for pieces you need or can flip quick or are a challenge? Either way I love watching 😊
Great question, started out filling my home, soon flipping for profit and now I only do pieces for the sake of making RUclips content. Very much just for the love of it these days! Thank you for watching :)
I liked it so much that I went and subscribed to this channel and hit Like on the Video.
Awesome! What a difference!
AMAZING JOB!! Wow from a piece that was so damaged to bring it back to life, is simply AWESOME. Greetings from Australia. (Angela).
Hey Angela, thank you for tuning in and taking the time to comment! I hope all is well over the ditch, I spent 15 years over there and hope to return in the coming years 😎
Well done
Well done 👍
Nice handles it all nice
New to this Channel and i like what i see, that is very nice makeover off this Dresser ! It is looking nice and solid again and almost chic ! It is very satisfying to watch this makeover and like the more modern twist on this piece. Thank you for sharing and see you on the next video. Greets from The Netherlands !
Ha ha being a Kiwi you'd understand why I giggled. My closed captions translated your snug fit to snug fat. I suppose only an Aussie with Kiwi relos would understand the fun. I'm going to have to watch more with captions on.
That’s amazing
Thanks!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate the support. Very considerate and kind of you, stay cool 😎
Been binging your videos man keep up the great work!
What an amazing save.
You did a beautiful job. 😊
Thank you very much 😎
Unbelievable 🎉
Amazing transformation. Well done!
Nice rescue but in this case I think it would have looked better with a contemporary paint finish
Painting certainly would have been easier. I saw this as more of a challenge and a good learning curve. Maybe the new owner will choose to paint it. Thank you for watching
❤❤❤
Yeah looks good to me ,I don’t think you waisted your money on the heat gun it took the worst off ,I think that was the best way to go,this is the first I’ve seen from you and now I’m a subscriber good luck mate hope to see many more.
There is also another beeswax product called Howard's Beeswax. I think that's what it's called. It apparently has an orange fragrance n is popular with a couple of furniture restorers. Nice job, btw. 😊
Thank you very much, I’ll look that one up and give it a go!
Isn't if fun with the borer spray when you spray in one hole and it mists out a half a dozen other hole from the interconnecting tunnels? :D Good job, kia ora from Taranaki...
Lazarus risen from the dead
The audio dropped so badly on this that I had to give up.
Sorry about that, technology isn’t always kind to me. Learning as I go :)
