    • @happynessdesigns
      @happynessdesigns 7 месяцев назад

      Yes!!! Came here to say this. The piece is STUNNING and he did an amazing job... but the silver-toned lock looked absolutely awful, your eye is immediately drawn to it and how it clashes with the awesome industrial brass hardware and the gorgeous warm honey tones of the walnut.

I know better than to compare my skills, methods etc to anyone else but well.....THANKS A LOT I GOT NOTHING DONE BECAUSE OF YOUR MASTER WORK!! I kid. I loved it. I subscribed and I'm devoted now.

      nothing is beyond reach, keep working at it and you’ll get there. I only started a couple of years ago, am self taught and still learning! 6 weeks ago I had never filmed or edited a video, that sort of thing doesn’t come naturally to me, now I’ve got 5 posted. Don’t get me wrong i’ve still go a long way to go, and I hope I’m improving on every one, but we can only strive to better ourselves 😁

      @@GM_Design omg really??? 6 weeks ago? You're gonna blow up. There are certain channels that you can see a gifted artist....you got it. I'm going to film today and give it a go...I mean its not like anyone will see it and I'll be over that part. How did you not keep that piece? I get too attached which I have got to get over. Yesterday I spent the day watching you and carefully removing the brass feet with little floating discs to clean them by hand and it literally took all day (and it was soul crushing because it had a level of patina rarely seen.....not sure why I didn't boil them but I was so distracted and determined to do it the hard way...this has got to stop! Lol). I commend you on the chic choice in handles. That piece is on point. I feel like I missed the top. Did you paint that as well? im going to do black to feature a carving on this piece that just needs to be showcased and I was up all night thinking of where I'm painting and I'm where I'm revealing walnut.

    Beautiful job! One suggestion: small damage repair wax sticks are used after finishing, either shellac, varnish or hardwax oil, as they either do not adhere to wax, or dissolve it (hardwax). Also, this way you can use the correct color wax, which is not that of the unfinished wood.

    • @GM_Design

I'm not sure, if I wouldn't have used the old hardware as well, but his is, as always, a matter of individual taste. The new hardware is nice as well anyway. Looks like you need some subbing - so the sub button with the bell is pushed now. Lookin' forward to more!
