"It was a vicious cycle of cleaning"... lol. Such accurate description for certain cleaning jobs, haha. Thank you for the video.

❤ Great job

Tip: Set yourself apart from the many flippers out there by including what the piece sold for. Sending us to instagram doesn't doesn't cut it. I love how Lauren at the Furniture Flipping Teacher does it. Fabulous job on this trunk, perfect mix of old and new, love it!

The one I found had these adorable hangers and a little doll with a dress that matched the interior ❤️

The cleaning with a toothbrush really got me, THE PATIENCE but it looks amazing!

I have a similar trunk, was my Grandfather's from WWII. Your's is in fantastic condition, mine will need to have the tray made, but, I did find the key!!! Can't wait to start working on it, and I think I'm going to make it into a video as well.

At least you found the key so you won't have to do what I did when it locked on me! 😂 Good luck!!

Love the video. It’s a little frustrating to try to hear you clearly over the music but I love the content. Totally subscribed

Great video, and one I wish I'd seen before tackling my first! Yours caught my eye because it's the same maker/style and paper, along with the same interior box insert. Do you happen to know the brand name? I don't see anything on mine to tell me. Also, I did the exact same thing by accidently locking it and not having a key. My husband was able to fashion a key from another that did the trick, with a little help from a screwdriver! Thanks again, and beautiful work on making your coffee table!

@@EshiJay Thanks again (and yes, I have to tell my husband I am not the only one)!

Has anyone tried something like oil or Vaseline, etc coating the trim, enabling me to spray paint the body? It sounds like a great idea. Have you ever heard of that one?

I have not! That would be amazing if it works!

Hi you have done a great job, sad about the damaged lock but overall came out as a neat and clean product. If i had to fix those legs i would have done with 4 bolts straight through those wooden planks for each leg instead of those screws because the legs should be sturdy. Oh yes i would have selected one size bigger bolts and off-course supported with washers.😊

This was really informative and I like the vintage look. Great job! I’ve been trying to figure the best way to install legs to a trunk that I’ve refinished btw great install but where’d you purchase the legs. They seem to be hot commodities and I have a hard time choosing the best pair. Thanks for sharing

Those are hardly locks, you can just insert a screwdriver into the key way and twist and it will open.
