You were super funny in this video Jay! 😂 I’m glad your kitten is getting along with the neighbors cat and has someone to play with ( or terrorize) while you are working! Being a lover of all things art deco, I started the video thinking you were going to restore it. By the time I figured out that you were not, I was disappointed, but wanted to see what you made out of it. The dresser turned out lovely, more modern. You did a fantastic job, as you always do!
Exactly. Or whatever style will sell well. As a professional woodworker I lost count long time ago how many pieces I've done for people that I personally didn't like. If people want light colors they should give it a go themselves
I think you did a beautiful job restoring it. Normally, I am one of the people who prefers the natural, lighter wood look, but this time I would have gone with a nice walnut stain. For some reason, I think of art deco pieces as being darker. Plus it would have made the brass accents stand out more. This, however, is just a personal opinion and I don't mean to detract from the awesome job you have done. 💖
Experimentation is important. If you never try you don't know, right!?! Great restoration and thanks for sharing your ideas. For the future do what you think looks best that seems to be extremely successful!!
i'm half way through so i don't yet know how the end result would be (surely beautiful) but it's a little difficult to watch what you're doing because i'm mesmerized by Mando playing in the background🐱
Dude, you do you, because you rock it. If light wood’s not your gig, then it’s not your gig. I’ve loved every single piece you’ve done & while not my style - I like this, too. It’s about appreciating the artist & their vision & you’ve got it in spades. ❤🐈🐈⬛❤🐈🐈⬛❤🐈🐈⬛❤
You can see that the Feline Management Team was having fun working together and overseeing your work! 😍😍😍😍😊😊😊😊 I love what you did with this piece. I you did great keeping it lighter than most deco pieces. The slightly darker staining helped bring out the grain. The hardware and painting the legs made it more upscale. Great job!
What a sweet little unit. The kitten at the end made me smile and cry a bit, just had to have my fur baby put to sleep, he was with me for 16 years. Best wishes
Hi Karel. I was missing you! Just when I needed a furry fix, you and sweet Mando (and friend) appear on my horizon. He’s so scrumptious! I have photos of him in my phone albums and show him to cat lovers I know. They all just swoon! Now, on to business… That poor previous owner! She didn’t have a clue about restoration. It would be nice to show her what you did about it, to it, for it! She would gasp! I really love the way you experiment! There are endless possibilities with EVERY piece you work on,so it’s fabulous that you show us all some of them as you learn too! It’s really nice that you give the hidden parts a good old Szoozch too! So thoughtful. I am amazed at all the tools you have!!! One for EVERY job imaginable! Good for you!!!! This is my favourite channel by far, so please keep sharing your wonderful projects with all of us Earthians (?!) 🌏 all around the world! Love it! Love it! Love it!!!!, ❤️🐈❤️🇦🇺🦘 So until next time… Hooroo from Downunder
Hello beautiful person. I been watching you a long time..but 27k views in 15 hours, I’ve never seen that before on your channel. I know you do this full time now, and I’m so glad the channel getting the recognition you deserve! Can support you as your main income. I enjoy your quirky and creative personality and approach to your work. 👍👍
Normally I am very much in the dark stain and dark wood camp, but I actually really liked this piece! I liked the gold paint on the leg I think it gives it a subtle pop and matches the hardware. working with metal powder and resin is tricky from what I understand, I’ve stayed away from it for a reason lol. Maybe look at people who make props for cosplay I believe they might have some tricks for you as it’s a great way to make things look metal but be light enough to carry all day at a convention. Mando looked so handsome on the little drawers at the end, give him a big hug for being such a purrfectl lil assistant and model.
What beautiful work. I love the result, especially the curved handles. I admire the care with which you approach each project, and how you give furniture a new and beautiful life. Kotek is adorable.
There's something so fulfilling about seeing a beat up piece of old furniture turned into such a beautiful thing. Love your work. Always look forward to the '2000 years later bit.'
I think your instincts are good; when you had finished the dresser and before you stained it, it just looked like an unfinished piece of furniture. The light stain and waxing brought out the simple beauty of the piece - a nice modern homage to art deco style. I appreciate you sense of humour throughout the video! I see you are always trying to improve yourself in all aspects of life, and sharing it with us!😄
This turned out very well and I like it very much, and even the legs turned out fabulous- good save! I must say, you have mastered the dry humor of the Brits….those sanding comments are classic 😂. Love how Hugo and his lordship Mando, get on❤
I think you did a fabulous job restoring this piece. You really accomplished the beachy wood vibe. This piece is perfect for a lake cabin,. You dont need to listen to the light wood ppl, we watch you for your creativity, sense of humor and your problem solving skills. The cats too, of course😊😊😊
As always, your restoration efforts resulted in a fantastic piece of furniture. This is a wonderful little piece! Personally, I like darker, richer finishes, but you are the master of your shop. You should continue to do what pleases you. I will continue to be impressed by your skills and your willingness to try new things.
This reconstruction, while being simple, includes very important techniques, skills and explanations for the fans, and as always, it is enjoyable to watch this video.🤍💚
It's a nice little chest of drawers, looks far better than it did at the start, and I rather like the lighter colour to it. Nicely done. (And your feline overlords looked like they were having a great time together... :) )
Jay you are the artist in residence so you get to choose what YOU want to do. Unless Mando says otherwise of course. I too think of art deco as darker wood. This was one of many perhaps not your favourite but next week is another beginning.👏👏❤❤🥇🥇
You did a fine facial-restoration tutorial. (Your smile is the best facial of all, which is good advice for us all). The chest of drawers looks great also. It has nothing to be ashamed of now. Cats are delightful.
I’m glad you did the stain tint a bit darker. Much better. I love the feet gold and the hardware. You’re your own worst critic like most of us would be. I like the darker stains myself. This was beautiful. Love to see your beautiful cat and Hugo play well together 😂🇺🇸👍🏼
A beautiful job, as always. I like the stain, but I am all for you doing what you like. You definitely have your your own style and it's very attractive. Handsome, even. Keep doing it. Other comments: - When do you have time to rest in your hammock? - I love watching the kittens play - Is the Samurai warrior there to threaten you so you do good work? - What's the little blue house for? - I love your use of "thingy." Perfect.
Love the use of the electric planer. The quicker the veneer removal, the quicker you can get started on your favourite passtime - sanding. LOL Dark finish, light finish, it's all personal choice. You do you. I think that there will be someone out there who will love it. Don't be too disappointed in the end result.
Every now and again, one of your projects reminds me of the old joke about the 90-year old man with a remarkable axe he's had since he was a boy. "And it's only had four new heads and seven new handles." The cabinet looks amazing--the tinted oil finish is unexpected and rather lovely. Great hardware. I'd use it at the side of my bed.
It reminds me of furniture that was very popular in the western part of the United States during the 1980s. Much of what I saw in clothing, furniture, and decor were very inspired by the art deco movement at that time. On the whole, Jay, I like what you did with it, but I do agree with you that it might have looked better with a darker finish.
Final results turned out very pretty! Personally, I prefer darker stains, but I can appreciate lighter wood and it’s certainly much better than before! And let’s be honest, Mondo can make any result look great! 😊
When I restore a little piece myself, I always try to get rid of the stained wood color and preserve the wood in it's natural beauty - like you did this time. A very nice color .. not stained brown .. very nice. 👍 very nice job !!
I can understand the discouragement of the woman from whom you bought this piece. My hat is off to you for giving it a go. I think it looks great, If I hadn't seen what you've done before, I might've not even watched this video, but you really do amazing things with the pieces you take on. I'm super glad you're rescuing so much furniture that many would throw out!
I love the color of this piece! It really brings out the beauty of the wood grain. More importantly, it looks like Mando approves. You can't do better than that!
I like it. Your choice of drawer pulls is great with the feet. Don't give up on those feet either. I wonder if a series of sanding and doing a thin layer of product would work? I know you love to sand.
I love the two tone wood so naturally it would be lighter and darker either way you make it. I also think that if you had gone with a walnut color it would have made the brass simulated feet stand out more. Either way, you did a great job. Thank you for the skin tutorial, I think I might take you up on it. Mando is getting so big and seems to have a best friend with the cat next door. Love it 😂😅😊❤
The finished piece looks good. I love the handles! I personally prefer a walnut color on wooden furniture but I like trying new things and I like watching you experiment. Everything can be changed...you've showed us that, so why not try new techniques and finishes? ❤
I also don't love it . The video I did love. Your face, hawking face restorer, was priceless. "Bob's your Uncle", basement children, and experimentation were all great! One of my favorite videos, so far.
Once again a beautiful piece! I love the light wood for a change. Also love the little quips & the sponsor’s ad! It’s always a treat when I see a new notification from FD.
That looks good Jay. Lots of work though, but it turned out a really useful piece of furniture. Thanks for sharing all your skills, and Mando ! Take care 🙂
I cannot believe how people mistreat old furniture! I have a few antique pieces that are at least a hundred years old and are still in almost pristine condition! Just take care of the pieces and they will last for generations! Thank you flippingdrawers for your workmanship!
Much better than I thought, my mother was a fan of Scandinavian furniture, I love rather dark furniture in white painted rooms. but this came out really fantastic, I think the trick was the soft rounded contours without looking trully art decò, and the very elegant handles vertically set. Enchanting!
Mando is a great model and enhances your finished work. I do admire your patience and endurance with all the sanding etc to bring these sorry old bits of furniture to life again. Thank you.
Turned out very nicely. Looks fresh and smart, could fit in many places. The tint to the oil finish definitely worked better. The supervisors looked like they were having a good time.
Jay, I love the color of driftwood, and have a suggestion, if you ever want to try it on another piece. Use a diluted grey paint, applied as you would a stain, as you do with a white wash. The grain will show, and the yellow/brown of the wood will be covered. I do love this little chest, you remade it into a gem!
As with everything you do, this piece turned out beautifully! You are my favorite French Englishman and I love how funny you are. By the way, your face is lovely just how it is, but I'm glad you had a sponsor!
Looks like you bought a set of beautiful handles,and the rest of the junk came with it. Well done ,love your videos,your personality,and attitude. Your cat is stunning,as well! All the best,keep up the great work,many thanks.
I think it turned out rather well. It is as you say different to your usual but it still looks good and it will always suit someone out there for their decor/space. I always love Mando peeping out of drawers and playing. He seems to like the neighbourhood cats too! Well done!🥰
I love everything except the framing/trim color. Enjoyed your video very much, Jay. Happy for you that you recently had a few nice, sunny days there in Australia! Always happy to see the kitties in your videos, too!
I love this one much more than other projects. I like very light wood tones, I don't mind dark wood also, but the stains you are using normally have a red colour, which is not my fav. So this was right my alley. Hoping to see a darker piece also, but black stain, dark gray, dark brown etc. Nice job on this one
You have an incredible talent and the right tools and access to the right wood! I would be scared to death to take something apart this much. Love love the kitties
Love your accent. The sound of French is why I chose to take French in 1967. Unfortunately I never could sound French. I hate cats and am allergic to many of them, but I have to say Mondo is the most awesome cat I've ever seen. Beautiful, so ADHD, and curiously intelligent. I guess he took after you. Ha.
Another very fine video! Thanks for the technique of replacing similar, but not exact side panels! The color variations and the vertical handles makes the piece look like late '20s Art Deco! Superb!😎
You did another beautiful restoration...but I'm with you, I prefer when you stain darker. This piece is still beautiful and far better than what you started with...Thanks for sharing Mando with us.
The one thing I really love is that you put so much effort into areas. Nobody will ever see because you would feel like you didn't do your job. You and are you you wanna make sure it's perfect, did you take? Thank you I love that idea
Aww...look at those lovely furbabies❤ Oh, sorry, the chest turned out beautifully, too! I do like the lighter finish but you should do things how you want them. Your judgement is always spot on
I've become a light wood fan after decades of walnut & cherry adoration. 😂 This turned out very nice. 😍I loved your "commercial"! 😂🤩Made me almost decide to get one, but at my age, that's just pure wishful thinking. 😂😂Loved seeing Mando & Hugo playing. 😻😻See you next time, Jay. Take care. 😁😘🤗💖👌👍👋
I like the mixture of the wood colors. A tip regarding mixing color powders into resin... a little goes a long way. If you hate it once it cures, you can give it a light sand, wipe it down with rubbing alcohol (resin and oils, even from your skin, hate each other), and add another layer.
Hi, i'm one of the persons who loves dark and Brown Furniture, think depending where you're living, good you're experimenting new things, see you're Next video 👍
It turned out nicely. I really like the drawer pulls. I prefer a darker stain but the 2 tones of the lighter wood colors keep it from being “boring”. Another wonderful job! Bravo!
It turned out beautiful. I am in the two tone camp, light wood with dark accents. You do whatever color you like and you think you can sell. I will watch them all. Some things are not my personal taste, but i can enjoy the process and appreciate your artistry of bringing furniture back to life.
You were super funny in this video Jay! 😂 I’m glad your kitten is getting along with the neighbors cat and has someone to play with ( or terrorize) while you are working!

Love it!

PS: Stop listening to the "light" wood people and stain it like you like~
I agree 😊
Exactly. Or whatever style will sell well. As a professional woodworker I lost count long time ago how many pieces I've done for people that I personally didn't like. If people want light colors they should give it a go themselves
I’m in the dark wood camp.
The light wood people should just buy the cheap laminate furniture and leave the wood to those of us who love it!
I love darker stains as well!😊
I think you did a beautiful job restoring it. Normally, I am one of the people who prefers the natural, lighter wood look, but this time I would have gone with a nice walnut stain. For some reason, I think of art deco pieces as being darker. Plus it would have made the brass accents stand out more. This, however, is just a personal opinion and I don't mean to detract from the awesome job you have done. 💖
I might stain it dark 😂
@@Flippingdrawers yes, even a walnut stain would be beautiful but the brass look goes best with this light wood.
Too light for an Art Deco piece.
@@TheCraftyMagnolia I disagree, I think those handled would look better on darker wood.
I think it looks good for a mid-century piece. I love watching Mondo playing in the background!!
He’s actually Mando.❤️🐈

Have to admit that I’m a fan a dark finishes, but it definitely looks way better!

Jay, I love the color of driftwood, and have a suggestion, if you ever want to try it on another piece. Use a diluted grey paint, applied as you would a stain, as you do with a white wash. The grain will show, and the yellow/brown of the wood will be covered. I do love this little chest, you remade it into a gem!

I think it turned out rather well. It is as you say different to your usual but it still looks good and it will always suit someone out there for their decor/space. I always love Mando peeping out of drawers and playing. He seems to like the neighbourhood cats too! Well done!🥰
I love everything except the framing/trim color. Enjoyed your video very much, Jay. Happy for you that you recently had a few nice, sunny days there in Australia!
Always happy to see the kitties in your videos, too!
I love this one much more than other projects. I like very light wood tones, I don't mind dark wood also, but the stains you are using normally have a red colour, which is not my fav. So this was right my alley. Hoping to see a darker piece also, but black stain, dark gray, dark brown etc. Nice job on this one
Absolutely LOVE the lighter finish. 😍
What a tremendous makeover! 😊 I agree with another person's comment. You do the stain color you like best! Your projects ALWAYS turn out wonderful!
Thank you so much! 😊
You have an incredible talent and the right tools and access to the right wood! I would be scared to death to take something apart this much. Love love the kitties
Love your accent. The sound of French is why I chose to take French in 1967. Unfortunately I never could sound French. I hate cats and am allergic to many of them, but I have to say Mondo is the most awesome cat I've ever seen. Beautiful, so ADHD, and curiously intelligent. I guess he took after you. Ha.
Very interesting 🤔
Love watching Mando and Hugo play 😊
Another very fine video! Thanks for the technique of replacing similar, but not exact side panels! The color variations and the vertical handles makes the piece look like late '20s Art Deco! Superb!😎
You did another beautiful restoration...but I'm with you, I prefer when you stain darker. This piece is still beautiful and far better than what you started with...Thanks for sharing Mando with us.
It still looks light years better than what you started with. Nice job!
The one thing I really love is that you put so much effort into areas. Nobody will ever see because you would feel like you didn't do your job. You and are you you wanna make sure it's perfect, did you take? Thank you I love that idea
Aww...look at those lovely furbabies❤
Oh, sorry, the chest turned out beautifully, too! I do like the lighter finish but you should do things how you want them. Your judgement is always spot on
I've become a light wood fan after decades of walnut & cherry adoration. 😂 This turned out very nice. 😍I loved your "commercial"! 😂🤩Made me almost decide to get one, but at my age, that's just pure wishful thinking. 😂😂Loved seeing Mando & Hugo playing. 😻😻See you next time, Jay. Take care. 😁😘🤗💖👌👍👋
I think it looks really nice. I’m a darker wood person, but you did a great job!
I like the mixture of the wood colors. A tip regarding mixing color powders into resin... a little goes a long way. If you hate it once it cures, you can give it a light sand, wipe it down with rubbing alcohol (resin and oils, even from your skin, hate each other), and add another layer.
Hi, i'm one of the persons who loves dark and Brown Furniture, think depending where you're living, good you're experimenting new things, see you're Next video 👍
My goodness 😮. You are so patient. I’m truly amazed by your vision, knowledge and work! Shew!👏💕
This project turned out quite nice, I think by adding some extra stain made a huge difference. Congratulations on another successful restoration
Thank you Clifton 🙂 much appreciated
Thankful for Midwest magic cleaning recommending your channel ❤
I actually liked this drawers transformation. Keep up the good work, you're doing as great as always
It turned out nicely. I really like the drawer pulls. I prefer a darker stain but the 2 tones of the lighter wood colors keep it from being “boring”. Another wonderful job! Bravo!
Love it, makes a great change from the heavily contrasted look that you often go for.
I love watching you experiment and learn while teaching. Keep up the good work!
It turned out beautiful. I am in the two tone camp, light wood with dark accents. You do whatever color you like and you think you can sell. I will watch them all. Some things are not my personal taste, but i can enjoy the process and appreciate your artistry of bringing furniture back to life.
