Once again, you’ve completely transformed this old piece into something useful and gave it a new life without messing too much with it, bravo sir 👏👏👏
Thank you very much!
@@Flippingdrawers welcome as always 🤍
He messed with it for days.
So pleased you have given this old rustic pine box a new lease of life. The shiny brass castors and fittings really make it beautiful.
Thank you for watching 💛
The cats are trying out a new custody agreement for you😹
I like how the wood grain effect turned out! I agree about the corner pieces. I think they would give the definitive look that you were going for with the wax. More like an actual trunk than just a box!
Great job giving new life & purpose to this plain box! It would've been both faster & easier to just make one, but that's not as fulfilling, I'm sure! ✌🏼
Thanks for watching 😊
I always look forward to your work, brilliant job 😊
Cats have bets on getting you trained - so far….they all trained you for both pets & snacks.
Love Rufus and your relationship to the neighboring cats! Of course love your work and always look forward to new videos, your exquisite craftsmanship, etc.
Thank you very much!
I love how you find these old discarded pieces and turn them into beautiful, functional items - they literally look like works of art and you stage the finished product so nicely. I wasn’t sure I liked what you did with the black stain until I saw the finished product. The wax really made it pop! I think your right about brass corner pieces. It would be nice to see what that looks like. The brass wheels were a really nice added touch. You have such great taste and vision! Always amazed at what you can do.
Thank you Kent! That’s super nice of you and yes. Might add the corners
Pretty good looking storage box! I like the idea of brass corners too. Rufus is so pretty 🐈⬛ 🥰
Thank you! 🤗he is
Speaking as a self proclaimed “artist”, the way you worked with the box, as it is, gave it its dignity and a beauty that had been hidden it’s whole life.
That’s very kind 💛
I’ll try to find it. Thanks. I’ve barely come across “Flipping drawers “ so I’m sure there is a lot he’s done I haven’t seen

I never thought a simple old box could be transformed into such a beautiful piece. Thanks for showing how it's done.
Glad you liked it!
I love the finish! It almost looks burnt. Well done!
Yes....my thought too...I was in a store the other day..the owner is a young girl...that is her art! I'm a sucker for any Box, Trunk or THINGY thing...🎉
You always manage to make the most humble materials into something special. The brass pull on the lid is beautiful.
I really like how the box turned out. thanks for sharing your creative process, it’s good to know that even someone who does a lot more furniture refinishing projects than I do also has apprehension about what they are doing as well. It’s all about the process 👍🏻💕
I love it! The 2 waxes together look great together. As usual, you do such detailed work!
I would never have the patience for such beautiful artistry.❤
I personally like rustic old wood. I'm glad you tackled a piece like this and added your great sense of style to it.
I have an old box very similar to yours that my dad made years ago. I used it to travel back and forth to college, so it is in pretty tough shape. Now I have a plan to make it beautiful! Thank you Jay for all of your great ideas🤓
I enjoy following your vlogs. You are able to transform any old, worn and defective furniture into a beautiful creation. Cheers!
You should have saved this for another contest between you and David! And found him one that was only held together with hide glue and sheer will. LOL Lovely addition to your home decor, Jay!
This old box actually turned out quite nice!!! I love your vision for pieces!
Thank you 😊
Once again you turned fire wood into treasure. I love it. By the way it was nice to see Sam the Samurai again.
Everything you touch becomes beautiful. And the fact that so many cats come to visit says volumes about your beautiful energy.
Thank you 🙏

In the older times in Germany my grandparents called this a "Kiste".A wodden box too big to be a "box" and too small and less quality to be a "trunk".
Typical uses back then: storage for sand, feed, ammunition, stakes. We had them in the barn, stable, mudroom and tool shed. Sweet memories of being hoisted on one and watching the folks work, eating berries or a sandwich and "helping"
Thank You for a trip down memory lane❤
Ammunition 🤭😮 you’re welcome and thanks, I didn’t know that
In slightly better condition (no woodworm) this would sell as-is for around $150-$200 as an antique in my area of Ontario, Canada.

@@Flippingdrawers Yes, Ammo. Half the size that box for shells and a wee bit smaller for "normal" ammo front supply in WWl and ll. They just had 2 sturdy metal hand grips. Many times they just broke off the lid and the rest was fire wood , walking g planks in the trenches. Google is a treasure trove of pics!❤

The brass touches were exactly right! Well done!
You call it a plain and simple box, but this is actually one of my favorites. Great job
Awesome! Thank you!
A simple "easy looking" box turned to be harder to restore than a chest of drawers! But I know you can overcome any challenge. I adore looking at your job. Excellent as usual. 🤩
Thank you for watching 💛
Love it. Take an old box and make it beautiful.
I love what you did with this old box. Thank you for giving it a new and useful life.
This old “thingy” is right up my strasse! Love it!
Danke schön 💛
That poor old box looked so dried up and worn out in the beginning. When you started to apply the color, I could almost hear the wood drinking in the moisture! The final product is absolutely beautiful! If you decide to put on the brass corners in the future, please take pictures!
Doesn't look like an old box now! You made it look beautiful! Love the pull, it's perfect. Looks like it was especially made for it! Awesome job once again 👍😊❤
Thanks so much!
I really enjoyed this one - proof that even pieces with humble origins can look beautiful! Also very happy for the top-quality cameo from your Workshop Supervisor 😊
I love the subtle gold accents and think you should antique the castors to match the opener. Fantastic narration too.
As usual , a perfectly stunning result. The old box has been transformed into a useful, and lovely piece of furniture. ❤
Another new technique - always fun!
Another project that turned out better than I imagined!
(I vote: keep the wax edges and yes to the corner brass, but not actually necessary bc is looks great already!)
Another gorgeous cat - so much like one I used to have ! Awww! So glad you like cats - for me they really add to your channel!
One request/suggestion - at the end: show identical angle, full view shots of both the before and after, side-by-side on the same screen (!?) I love to stop and compare back and forth. Then zero in on the details. Thank you for your channel.
Lovely piece! Lots of patience and love went into this video! Thank you for sharing.
the workshop is immaculate! What a kind heart, to visit with the neighborhood cats as he does.
Making the long story short: there's no project simple enough for you. You commit with every single one of them in a way that only provides classy and elegant results, such this case. Even being a humble and rough plain box. And the icing on the cake is your own humbleness. The way you share with us your mistakes and doubts, your little tries and experiments, wich of them work and don't... it's a solid proof to me of you beeing a wonderful person, nice and loveable. Simple as that.
That’s very kind. Thank you 😊
I can't believe it's the same box! It's beautiful! The gold around the corners makes it look more vintage!
Glad you like it 💛
From an old box to a wonderful chest. I love the way it turned out, and it’s Rufus approved! Great job with the black and gold wax. I think that touch makes the chest!
Wow, this piece is proof that you can resurrect dead furniture. Thanks for sharing!
Another lovely job, Jay! Your home must be filled with beautiful pieces that you’ve resurrected ❤
Love that vintage pull it was the perfect choice.
I actually like the black and gold gilt on it gives more if a vintage feel to it.
Yes to the brass corners 😊
Overall it is something I would have in my house, useful and pretty so A+ from me 😂
Thank you so much as always 💛
Loving that brass pull - quite similar to the one that you removed. Definitely go with the brass corners. Somehow they elevate a box.
The grain is beautiful. Good result. 👏👏👏
I would love this box in my home! Well done!!! Another miracle!!! Rufus is gorgeous!🌺
It is the definition of the old saying…making a silk purse out of a sow’s ear! Excellent work!😊
Well stated!
Terrific solution with creating your own veneer. I like it!
The transformation of that wooden box was absolutely amazing! Great job sir!
I really love this look. It turned out great. Thanks for the idea of the 2-tone wood idea! Fantastic
IT LIVES! It looks rustic but well taken care of. Yes to the brass corner pieces! I think those will give it a final pop!
I absolutely love the pull you chose, and the whole thing came out fabulous. I am a fan of the rustic look anyway but you took a piece of junk and made a prize. Always love watching your channel. Thanks for sharing so much.
Thank you so much!
You may not have had a vision in the beginning but all the same it a really lovely coffee table/blanket box that I would be happy to have in my home.Well done Jay enjoy your lovely box.
Glorious piece for Farmhouse Entrance Hall, love it .
Glad you enjoyed it
Your imagination never fails to amaze me. Great work.
You have kept the rustic look yet made it look so elegant
Definitely put some brass corner pieces on it!! 🌟 It'll give it a more trunk-like feel. ☺️
That is one lucky box! It was chosen by a talented man who has an incredible knack for making things look lovely and functional! Thank you for sharing this piece of work with us.
Looks like a most loved homemade sweater. As always excellent work!
Beautiful outcome! Wow!🎉🎉❤
I'm glad this chest has a new life. It looks wonderful. The corner pieces would be great too.
Turned out quite lovely. Nice!
Thank you! 😊
That "thingy" you created is very cool indeed. Love the muted gold on the edges!
Exotic, yet simple and functional. I truly enjoyed the process and also admire the final results.
Love that you added the brass castors and the pull. Looks great!
I truly enjoy the damaged pieces of furniture that you bring back to life. Thank you, Sir!
My pleasure!
That was a lot of work, but such a stunning finish! A "silk purse out of a sow's ear".
Love the brass fittings, they set off the dark wood.
Great job restoring this box and making it useful again.
Thank you! Cheers!
I really like the end result of using black stain and then sanding it. It gives the box an antique look ❤. Awesome.
♥️🇨🇦
Great job! I vote for keeping the edges darkened gold.
Rufus is so handsome! I love what the black stain and sanding did to the wood, and the brass casters were a great choice. I think the gold and black wax goes well with the brass casters and pull, and turns the grain at the ends of the boards into a decorative element for the final product.
One of my favorite rustic pieces you’ve done. Would look great in a cabin. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼❤️
I love how you can take something old and worn and turn it into something nice.
LOVE FROM OKLAHOMA
What a fun box, beautiful. Great in a tiny house (or any house!!) for extra seating, storage and table surface!👍🏻❤👍🏻❤👍🏻
What an improvement!👏👏👏
Eventually adding the brass corners will be *chef's kiss*.
Good to see what your favorite products are!
As for the gilding wax, you may want to consider checking at your local art supply store for what options are available. Maybe a more muted gold, perhaps? The end grains definitely need "something".😉
Rufus looks just like my cat Jake. I lost him last year, seeing your neighborhood cat made me smile.
Your unique solutions are so wonderful!!! Looks really special!
It turned out lovely. You are an artist.
I wasn’t crazy for the color till I saw the hardware added , that really popped it!
I think it is lovely! Loved what you did!
I never would have though something so rough could turn out so nice. Yeah, not a fan of the gold edges, but love how you did the stain. Good thing Rufus was left in charge of progress by the others.
From trunk thingy to something bling, very beautiful. Yes cats and dogs like to supervise things to make sure everything is going to plan.very satisfying to watch. Thankyou for sharing with us. 🐈⬛
THANK YOU FOR SAVING THIS NICE PIECE!!!
My pleasure!
Another Beautiful Piece Of Furniture. Love your workmanship.👍🏾💜🇳🇿
Your talent is making seemingly garbage items into chíc trendy beautiful furniture. Good job! 👍
Love enjoying your creativity! So do your friends!😻👍😊
I love how you rise to the challenge. You also seem to use the challenges to try something new and gone your skills. Well done
I love this box! What a piece with character!
Another great project. The visions - sometimes, they come in whole, before the very first step. Other times, they form as you go - after you’ve tried one thing or another. I always love what you decide on. And I nearly fell off my chair laughing so hard at “computer says no.” I wasn’t expecting that (haven’t seen it in a long time). So funny!!! And kitty too - wonderful bonus.
Beautiful transformation as always, I adore the grain pattern you added. It really worked with the stain 😊
I would never have thought of trying to do something with that box/chest thingy (that’s the technical term). I really love what you’ve done with it. 😊
I loved the result!!! Congrats!!!!
I think it turned out wonderful ,,,what a meat trick using a wite brush & black wood stain,,this will make a wonderful little blanket box /coffee table ,,,I hope you get many years of enjoyment from it ❤😊
Again, you made something that appeared irredeemable into a beautiful piece! FYI, I’m NOT a woodworker, but I watched another gentlemen take paint off an old coffee table with a planer!
Who can't appreciate taking a lump of junk and transforming it into something of value. Who can't appreciate you using this lump of junk to learn other ways of problem solving? As always, the end result is a piece of furniture with value, art. Well done Sir.👏👍
Your immaculate workshop translates well into your projects. The attention to detail is consistent in all your videos. AND, you teach while you also entertain. Well done Sir. 👏
Thank you very much!
From ordinary to extraordinary. You gave it so much texture. It would be great coffee table
Awesome transformation 👍 Love what you did with the staining technique❗ Brass corner pieces would be the perfect finish!!
You can always turn the most broken down piece into something beautiful. Love the brass and that pull. Brass corners would also look good I think! Love your videos!!
Love what you did with this box and the new life you gave it. Awesome job 😊
the finish you chose was the only option!! love it. thanks for the time you take to video your work...
It's warm and rustic. I love it. ❤❤
