In this video I restore a free Facebook Midcentury Modern buffet. It was missing its legs and the veneer was completely gone. I replaced the veneer, gave it new legs and cleaned up the brass hardware. New brass pulls completed the look. it is looking shiny and new now.

I’m a retired person, I was orthodontist and I always liked wood, its beauty; I like antiques or old furnitures and when I was child, I liked Cinderella!😂 That’s why!
Thank you for being so kind to the kitty. You definitely have a furry fan!
I've said it before but I'm gonna say it again. I love the care you take with the back and bottom of each piece. Shows a level of professionalism that isn't seen everywhere. Beautiful result.

Cats sometimes pick their people, she looks pretty attached to you. She’s an adorable supervisor. The way she checked out your gluing technique shows she really cares about the job being done correctly. You are an exceptional woodworker. My brother in law is a finish cabinet maker, he’d be impressed, I know I am. Great job.

Amazing job, now I know why good wood furniture is expensive. Now as for the kitten... only those who have a cat know what they do. I have my orange cat here, named Fredy, who used to sleep on top of my bookcase. Previously, the position belonged to a white cat named Pipoca (popcorn) and who lived for 16 years.

I am subscribed to quite a few furniture restoration channels, and especially appreciate the wood workers that don't paint all over every piece. Natural wood is usually so beautiful on its own.
Cats chose who they own, she seems to think you must be her human (it's how I ended up with my cat; he decided he'd rather live with me than the person who was feeding him before). The restoration is lovely, the gingko leave pulls are a beautiful choice. I don't know where you're from originally, but your voice is such a pleasure to listen to while you work. Love this channel.

Holy moly Jay what a transformation. Talk about breathing new life into it. Amazing. I just can't exude enough. Love the new veneer and the stain and that hardware is gorgeous. That cat is going to end up getting her own agent one of these days. She just loves putting in an appearance. She's getting properly stuck on you now!! I think you should just adopt her.

LOL kitty was just supervising you and giving you moral support.
Your comment about the cutting of the veneer for the top took five times longer - that cracked me up. It's like doing something with either a small child or an elderly parent - timetable blown. This buffet was ugly. A harsh word, but there is not other way to describe it. But the end result was beautiful. The colors of the wood are beautiful. I love the drawer and door pulls you chose. Added a touch of class to the buffet. Well done Jay.

That said, this is again, a beautiful restoration & ready for a long, proud life thanks to your care, skill & devotion to your 'work'.

Another fantastic transformation. You have a real gift for assessing what will have to be done and which pieces are worth the effort you're going to need to put into them. (Obviously, the cats know a cat person when they find him. They seem to find both you and your projects fascinating. Whoever owns them does as good a job with their grooming as you do with your projects.)
You were born to do this, always a top job.

Beautiful job, as always. As for feline helpers, our ginger cat got involved with my neighbour's project (painting his narrowboat gangplank in exterior oil-based green paint), resulting in a pricey trip to the vet. I've also had a cat jump straight into a tray of white emulsion and leave a footprint on every sq ft of carpet before I grabbed him. They are usually too quick to take evasive action, so for the sake of puss and your projects it might be best to keep the door shut when sticky stuff is involved!
Such a fun video today. It’s lovely to see your fluffy pal bring out your sense of humor!
