It took me a minute and call me crazy but you put me in the mind of Maggie Grace (actress from Taken)

красотка!!!!

молодец очаровашка!!!

Good job! Thanks

You did an amazing job. The care you show and the extra steps show what woodworking means to you.

Do you know what kind of wood the front is? It’s so pretty! Thank goodness you passed inspection. Otherwise, you may have had to bribe the inspector with a lot of treats. 🤣😜

Beautiful work, cant wait to see what you do with the dresser on the left of you, in the video.

The original hardware matched the streamline moderne look of the piece. It turned out very pretty though

Lovely job and great choice for the replacement hardware. I’d love to know more about how you choose pieces and how you decide on the approach to restoring them. I guess I mean the thought process you go through. Great work and looking forward to the next video 👍

Really beautiful 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Nice job! Good choice for the hardware!

Beautiful ❤

LOVELY

Gorgeous ❤

I like that you refinished this piece, that's what it needed! The foam pads on your festool really made quick work of those curves. I bought some similar pads for an inexpensive detail sander that hopefully will reduce hand sanding time. Great info about using two types of stain.

Beautiful transformation! ❤

For some reason when i look at this piece i see a record player

Beautiful! Love the hardware!

A really beautiful renovation. I love art deco. I think that the original hardware was bakolite. You do great work and I appreciate you sharing your videos. Also, you have a strict supervisor.🐶

Such a professional finish and presentation! You give exactly the right information. Not too much, not too little. 😊

How much time would you estimate to finish this project? Which platform do you list your pieces on?

The tables are beautiful. You are so talented and I love seeing Malino in the videos. Can’t wait to see him when you come to visit.

Gorgeous 😊

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

EXCELLENT makeover, glad you kept the one handle, seems to suit the piece like that.

Please wear a mask, protect yourself, when sanding, excellent job on the dresser, well done.

Love this piece! The color is SO 2024.

I absolutely love how the end tables turned out! Your perseverance is truly incredible, and I'm so glad you didn't give up on this project. It really paid off. Also, your dog is beautiful and so well-behaved-it was great to see them in the video. Thanks for sharing your incredible talent with us!

The doggie is beautiful! So are the tables!

Tough lesson to learn, but as you said, never again. Also, glad you realized that when you are finishing, Tung Oil works best when it is rubbed in thin layers. Dampen a cloth with it, wipe on and then wipe it all back off until the wiping cloth comes off clean. Pouring it on and letting it pool will result in variations in the finish thickness and thus, the look of the finish. Also, by only dampening a rag and wiping it on, it dries quicker when the layer is thinner, allowing you to do 2-3 layers in a single day.

They look beautiful BUT I wish you had used the bees wax on the sides and insides of the drawers. They looked old and used.

Magnificent results, those tables have to be smoother than a baby's bottom after all the sanding, rubbing and buffing. I always get a panicky feeling when doing a natural wood finish, that is where I have made a lot of mistakes too, much harder to correct, but at least it's not on video (ha ha!)

Beautiful result. 😍😍 and so much perseverance! Thank you for sharing..mistakes and all. 😊 I really do appreciate it, because these are the kinda things that you don’t know they can happen until someone tells you they can happen! 🙏🏼 Best wishes from Ireland. 🇮🇪😃

Yes, we had birds make a nest in our shop. We could hear the babies crying for food. They r gone now. The babies learned to fly all they r off on their own. We will be plugging up the hole they got in from. Love all your videos. You r talented and mature enough to gather your thoughts and going from there. So yes, you taught us a lot. Beautiful results from your hard work.

Great job! There’s always some learning opportunities but felt so bad for you😢 Don’t forget to clean the inside of the piece it really does matter. Anyway nice save! Thanks

Another great video and I’m really glad you didn’t edit out the mishap. You handled it with humour and resilience, great work and beautiful outcome!

I am so sorry this “glitch-in-the-process” happened to you! But, so proud of the way you regrouped, and figured out how to solve the problem! Love your determination & devotion to your craft! As a result, these tables that are so outstanding in themselves, turned out looking like pieces of art! I’m not kidding, at one point when looking at the finished/staged tables, the camera caught the grain in the wood & I gasped/my breath caught! It truly was stunning! The tables are stunning! So, thank you for finishing them! Someone will be so happy to have them in their home! (If I lived closer, if they weren’t spoken for, I’d purchase them in a heartbeat!) And, just so you know, this video with the mistake included, is such an inspiration to those of us who want to learn from you! If I had tried this on my own, I admit I’d probably have left them unfinished forever, if this had happened. You cured me! I am inspired by your never-give-up, never-give-in attitude! And, your hard work & willingness to give so much time to create these beauties astounds me! And, a note to the person concerned about your pup…I’ve known that dog since he was weeks old. I also know all the classes, types & hours of training he’s received! I also know his behavior in just about any known situation! He’s completely reliable & safe! I only know one other malinois who has had (a little) more training & obedience/work ability, and he’s a service dog for a physically disabled senior citizen! The concern is misplaced! And, he never left the yard! He’s in very capable/responsible hands with the mom/owner he has!

Wow you are so talented, this was amazing to watch, I can’t believe you don’t have more views and subscribers!

Beautiful wood and beautiful tone. Thank you for sharing the mishap and how to fix it. They turned out great!

Unleashed dog out of reach and control is very concering

They turned out great ❤ how frustrating that would have been!

❤❤

If it helps, I wouldn't have thought of cleaning them after inlet them bake in the sun. I would've just got flustered and resanded everything. Great job

I just came across your channel Pretty impressed So I went back and watched all the other ones that you had done I am glad I found you Sammy great work 👍

WOW!!!!!!!! What a great change, it is so awesome, great job !

Looks great... beautiful.

The end result is gorgeous, my only comment was that you used the 123 primer which is water based, you really should use a shellac based sealer for potential tannin bleed and my other comment was why you used a oil based top coat over white water based paint ?The only reason I mention this is for all the newbie’s. The dresser looks beautiful and I’m sure your client is thrilled and they should be!!!! I enjoy all your videos.

This is restoration was great! I definitely prefer this over painting, although painted piece do have their place. May I recommend a before and after shot at the end to really get the full effect of all the work you did ❤

Just founs your channel today. I have built all my own furniture but never thought of trying to restore something. Dont have anywhere to put any new furniture but maybe i could do it to give away and just have something to tinker on. Thanks for the inspiration

You should maybe have used two handles on the top painted drawer since you changed them and you had enough. Beautiful restoration- transformation. Keep the old handles for another project... they were gorgeous. Thanks so much for sharing
