In this video I restore an old mahogany library bookcase gifted to me by my barber. I also try frosting glass doors and making a pattern as I do it. This old beat up and boring piece of furniture turned out really nice.

Thanks Paul🥰 that's much appreciated
Holy cow, that transformation is mind blowing. Gorgeous. Your vision, creativity, and skill make watching your videos addictive to me!
That’s very kind. Thanks ☺️
This is not a reply it is a comment. Beautiful piece . Only I don’t like the legs.
@@Flippingdrawers I could only smile proudly for this piece; and I find the legs- - the perfect touch..Wow!
Here’s another addict!
From one health worker to another, you have an amazing gift for making pieces of furniture that people throw away into a thing of beauty that can be loved all over again. Thank you for never disappointing and demonstrating how lovely old pieces of furniture can be 😃
Thank! glad you enjoy
Muy buena atención al detalle y hermoso trabajo.
Your understanding of the different types of wood & the fittings used is astonishing. you have a real empathy with these materials & a wonderful set of skills to deal with so many different problems that arise. This old bookcase started out looking 'pretty tired' to say the least & the legs were a great touch, then on top of that you decided to have a go at frosting the glass doors & what a fantastic result! I so admire your thoughtfulness, sensitivity & ability to bring pieces, that most people would deem junk, back to their former glory & quite often better than the original. Congratulations on this one, Don from South Aust.
I absolutely love the whole thing, but the glass takes it to a whole new level. I have never seen that done before. You constantly amaze me. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much!
Gorgeous, as always! Just makes me smile that all that beauty was laying in wait and you uncovered it and shared it with all of us. Thanks! 😊
You did a great job giving a lovely bookcase a second life. It looks stellar.
When you asked if we'd ever seen this before and then peeled off the finish on the legs, my jaw dropped! What was on there?? I really hadn't seen anything like this before. Well done. 😊
Hi, I believe its some sort of tinted vinyl wrap but why? No idea😂
@@Flippingdrawers
A vinyl wrap?!? How odd!!
I wonder if it was there for "gives you a choice of color, on the legs, and if you keep it on?! It protects the legs from damp areas!!" >>said in a excited announcer voice
@@cpearson7372 you’re probably right. The wood underneath was new so it worked😂
@@Flippingdrawers 😆🙃
Keep doing what you're doing, please. You're bringing me and so many others, great joy and relaxation 😊
I hope, you and those you love, are well.
@@cpearson7372 that’s very kind of you. Thanks 😊
Another beautiful transformation. I've said it before and will say it again, you are so detailed and organized when transforming a piece. I enjoy your videos because I learn and I'm motivated. Any piece that you've done is done with pride and professionalism. Your voice is so calming too! (Hopefully, all those who are watching will subscribe!)
Thank you Toni! much appreciated ❤️
Brilliant work. I love how you make subtle improvements to a piece without changing its essential character.
What makes me love watching your videos is the amount of attention to every single detail in a piece. You can really sense the love you have for your craft and each piece of furniture you restore.
Wow, thank you!
i'm not a woodworker, i'm not a restorer, i'm not a forniture lover, but I love so very much your videos! Subscribed!
You pay so much attention to detail and transform ugly ducklings into beautiful pieces of furniture. That was nice of your barber to give you that bookcase!
Love the legs and glass frosting accent.
Another stunning piece. You always come up with the most unique touches. Beautiful!
Your work restoring the beauty of the wood is exceptional. I love the raised shelves that put everything at a good height leaving room for art above and seating below. Kudos!
❤️
Another masterpiece from the greatest furniture maker ever.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣 The de-sheathing of those legs was - unexpected!
I think I have seen most of your videos and have liked everything you've done. This is no exception. I think my favorite part of this video was when you impressed yourself with how well the glass frosting turned out.
Frosting the glass and using the tape to make a design is so creative! I love the pattern that you came up with!
Thank you 🥰 Much appreciated
It's really interesting watching you while rescuing an old junk and transforming it in a work of art! Great!
Love the pattern in the frosted glass!!!! Well done and very imaginative.
Beautiful. Your channel is one of my favorites. I love the creators that do professional restoration the best.
Stunning. Of course 😊
Congratulations on the win as well! Not a surprise but I'm very happy that they recognized your efforts!
Amazing results as always. Frosting the glass was a brilliant idea. I've never seen legs with shrink wrapped plastic "stain" before!
I love to see old furniture saved from the dump. You do a wonderful job, thanks!
You taught us some new tricks today! But, that screw! Honey, we need to screw this corner back together. Finds longest screw possible & he said, “That’ll do” 😂
You’re such a kind soul Jay. I always enjoy watching you work! As usual, sheer perfection 🥰
ha ha thank you Michele, always looking forward to reading your comments🥰 the best thing, that screw wasn't screwing anything🤷🏼♂️ it was just there😂
@@Flippingdrawers I noticed that. How bizarre 🥴 I bought a beautiful piece yesterday to use as a tv stand. It’s massive & heavy as hell, but it’s so beautiful, I had to have it. The previous owner painted it several years ago & I love it as it is. However, the bottom trim piece has a little damage on the side we see (of course) it actually looks like a piece of ceiling molding. Any way I could send you a picture of it? I don’t want to replace the wood trim. I just want to cover up the damage & try to find a paint that matches fairly well so it’s not so obvious. I think it’s the prettiest piece of furniture I’ve ever owned!
@@GreenWitch1 Awww••now 'I'
want to see it! 😟
I love your thoroughness, precision and exactitude! What a joy to see!
Glad you enjoyed it
You sir are a Master Craftsman. Love this piece. Awesome job.
🥰🙌🏻
I remember etching glass for a 4-H project over 60 years ago! Must say this project takes that concept to a stunning level!
Thanks and so simple☺️
The frosted glass was genius 👌! Now a half of an institutional library bookcase looks like a piece of elegant furniture!!
Thank you 😊
Such a great restoration. Can we take some time to appreciate how great this piece of furniture was, is, will be? Cheers
🥰
Just turned out beautifully, great job love the glass 😊
This turned out great, well done!
Thank you and thanks for becoming a member 💛
Не устаю писать,какой вы талантливый с золотыми руками реставратор.Работа просто супер.Это очень красиво,ну очень.❤❤❤❤
Such a satisfying restoration! I am sorry I missed the live chat! Love watching you work so much!
Ha ha don’t worry 😉 thanks for watching
You do amazing work. I appreciate your clear descriptions of what you're doing. Very satisfying to watch you make something beautiful!
Thank you so much 😀
FANTASTIC RESTORATION AND TRANSFORMATION!!!
VERY BEAUTIFUL AND VERY COOL!!!💖💖💖💖💖
Amazing. The frosted glass is incredible. I really love your work. Thank you x
Thanks so much 😊
Wonderful attention to finishing detail as usual. The frosting if the glass is inspired!
Thank you! Cheers!
such an amazing transformation, sympathetic to the original style yet modern and elegant! i love how you allow the beauty of the wood to take central stage❤️
It must have been super to work on a good quality piece with little actual damage.
I like the way you turned a boring piece of furniture into something pleasing and useful for home use. The legsxwere a brilliant idea.
Unwrapping the legs was fascinating!! This piece turned out incredibly well.
Hi…I always look forward to your videos! You are obviously very skilled and I always learn something new from each video….the cabinet looks very chic with new door design, addition of legs and reviving that gorgeous wood! Love.your vision for your pieces…such meticulous care taken at each and every step…thank you so much for sharing😊kim
Awesome 🤩 glad you enjoyed it Kimberly.
Absolutely love how this turned out. Just beautiful!
I love your respect for MCM style and restoration rather than repurpose with a quick paint job. You are a true master of your craft and I enjoy watching your videos while having breakfast! ❤
Cool, thanks!
I don't normally write comments but I am in awe of every piece I have watched you do! Not to mention the amazing tips we amateur refinishers so want. You make me want to refinish something. Thank you so much! 😍
since you don't normally comment I take this as an extra special compliment 🥰
It is a glorious piece, Jay! I really LOVE the way you restored the tone of the wood. I think it is perfect! I think it was too brown and you have given it a luscious reddish golden tone. It is a new amazing piece, which is the magic you have as part of your skill set!!! Jay, it is just stunning! Your videos have me on the edge of my seat because your individual style just makes a piece shine. I think that pairing up with the challenge person is a great idea. But, promise me that compromise will work for the betterment of the piece you two do together. So honestly “WOWED”, beautiful Jay!
Thank you Juanita🥰 always love reading your comments. It will be more of a theme challenge so each one of us will do their one thing.
Love how it turned out and the oil really bought the beauty of the wood out. I used to work in a woodworking shop and our biggest seller was Danish oil closely followed by liberon finishing oil. 🥰
Cool. Thanks for watching
❤ the frosted glass pattern. Transforms the piece from ordinary to cool 😎 👌🏼
Frosted glass really made the difference
😉
Such a lovely transformation! Well done!
Beautiful! I love the glass frosting, looks wiked!
I love this cabinet. You have taken a library shelf and converted it into shelving unit which could be used for many purposes. Your work is exquisite and I just love to watch you start with something damaged and make it whole again. Thank you!
All of your work is amazing but this one, for me, was spectacular! Thank you for saving old pieces of furniture and turning them into beautiful works of art. I hope that in decades to come someone else is able to take these (now older) pieces of furniture and revive them again.
Your work is stunningly beautiful! The frosted galss is a perfect MCM touch.
❤️
Excellent....I love the legs, and the frosted glass. Good decision ☺️
Fantastic transformation! You know, there is a point, usually around the time you're sanding the wood, that I begin to feel a touch of excitement, and PRIDE. An autonomic response to pleasure, I suppose. Then I sort of go into that part where I'm entranced, and while you finish, I watch every single thing you do and imagine how it's going to look. Pardon my weirdness. LOL But really, I enjoy watching you do your magic SO much. Thank you so much for the beauty you create. I LOVED the frosted glass and was honestly amazed at how easy it was. Please take care and stay well. Blessings....
Awesome! thanks for watching
Another successful and beautiful transformation. I like the frosting on the glass. The wood is gorgeous.
Thank you ❤️
Stunning, as usual!! Well done!
You truly are an artist, that glass turned out great as well
I love watching your videos. Always beautiful results. ♥️
It does not surprise me that you won the challenge. When I saw the end results of your piece. It would not have been fair. Thank you for another wonderful piece. Cheers!
Fantastic job! Just natural wood and brass, simple, but just right!
Beautiful workmanship, as always!
One of my favorite transformations. It is such a stunning and useful piece of furniture now. Your craftsmanship is inspirational to watch.
I like what you did with the glass doors and I love watching the oil going on! Thank you for sharing
Thank you! 😊
That is fantastic! Love the pattern you did on the glass and the legs are perfect. And to think that gorgeous piece could have ended up in a trash heap.
Thank you so much!
2 Words: SUPER. COOL.
WELL DONE!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Everything BUT the frosted glass for me personally! Very nice!
So you would have left it as it was?
@@Flippingdrawers ... The glass yes .. I would have left clear. As I said personally... If I were keeping it that's how I would like it.
I have never liked the looks of mid century furnishings but the way you can make the pieces I would put everyone in my house if I could ❤
That would make a really beautiful bar table, with the glass side showing off the stem ware & your more decorative bottles.
The way the grain raised from that gouge is amazing! Well done.
I am - as always - stunned by your ingenuity and your ability to see beyond the original hulk.
That's perfect 👍🏼
You make it so hard for us to watch other flipping channels because of your high level of perfection 💯
I literally never found someone with your caring for details level
Keep it up 💪🏼 we love your videos so much ❣️
I LOVE that Glass Frosting idea - never seen that before, but I feel the legs are too tall though. Great transformation of a lovely piece of furniture - well done. Take care 🙂
Looks a million times better than before 🤩 amazing job
This piece has your special touches all over it. Brilliant!
Congrats on beautiful restoration. The wood looks amazing now.
Nice touches with the brass especially on painting those metal hardware brackets on the inside gold/brass tone.
Cool, glad you enjoyed
Love the sound of the scraper! Also using it means no power tools and no chemicals. Gentler for the earth.
Gorgeous. Love what you did with the glass. And the legs look awesome.
Thank you 😊
It never hurts to have a good basic piece to work on! Love the frosted glass! Your work is top notch!
Thank you! Cheers!
I really like the natural wood restoration with the brass.
That wood just glowed when you finished with it! I love that you always keep the soul of the piece but just take up to the next level! That takes sensitivity :)
Wow! That turned out beautiful! Love your vision every time.
The brass additions make it so elegant.
The legs and frosted glass turned it into a gorgeous console!!!
I think this is my favorite of your projects. The frosted glass idea was inspired!
Thank you 🙏
You are so talented I truly envy you. Keep up your excellent work.
I am really glad to see you taking the old finish off. I realize that back in the day that finish was popular. But now days it just cheapens the piece.
absolutely stunning. love the glass design. you are an artist
That's very kind🥰
Absolutely beautiful. Your choice to frost the glass the way you did is the "frosting on the cake" -- ingenious.
Thanks so much! 😊
Woowwwwwwwww my jaw dropped YET AGAIN! It is definitely a wow… lost for words
Look at this beauty with its elegant lightness! Wow!
💐👏😍
WOW!!! Dude, this one was AWESOME!! I LOVED it! I could see a piece like this in a our Tiny House Airbnb. You have been really inspiring to start trying to find older crap furniture (the way it is now) and giving me the tools and understanding of how to go about removing the old and giving me new, different (AND better) ideas on the final finishes. (Being a woodworking for SOOO many years, it's always been the same for me. Stain whatever kind of wood I decided (or had laying around) to use. Then spraying on 3 coats of satin lacquer. Now you are giving me an acquired taste for the nature look with REAL wood and a subtle, enhanced finished look. THANKS!!
My pleasure mate. Glad you found it helpful 😉
I looked at furnitures inside your workshop, those are what I saw in early 70's. Ah, like the song of Mary Hopkin
Those were the days...
Thanks so much.
Your artistry, carpentry skills, patience and persistence amaze me! You are a true artist, with the vision to bring beauty out of the mundane! This is my new favorite channel!❤
Thank you 🙏
I love this piece. You did a great job with it! You made everything about it better. I like the legs, the frosted glass, the door pulls, the finish, and the overall look of the piece. Well done.
Well you just fixed a challenge I have been having by gluing sandpaper to a substrate! This turned out gorgeous 😍 Thanks for sharing your talent.
Another five ⭐️ trash to treasure transformation. 💖
Lovely! Nice touch on the sliding glass doors. 👍🙌
Thank you 😊
Wow, what a difference. I couldn't imagine that outcome, really good looking now.
