Just found your channel through shorts and I have some advice that a lot of new restorers don't take into account. Especially with older furniture. Just keep in mind that when a lot of mcm furniture was being made lead was still being used in paint and stain. Congratulations on finding a rewarding career change

During the same time frame that lead was being removed, there was a study showing that saliva alters into THREE different known carcinogens. Moral of the story: SPIT don't swallow.

Can I encourage you to wear a respirator when sanding the older finishes? I wouldn't want your health to slowly get bad.

I really don't understand why people get upset about painting furniture when it can be easily removed for refinishing. It's not destroying the piece and it's saving something from the landfill. People who toss out old hardware....a completely different story but paint? Come on now. Why not make something beautiful instead of throwing it away? Again, it can easily be removed for those who prefer the original wood finish 🤷‍♀️

@@staciemarie5859 speaking for myself, I don’t have a problem with people painting furniture, especially if it’s damaged or an undesirable style. But this particular line of furniture is very collectible, wonderful quality, and intended to show the grain of the wood. If you’re just going to paint a piece, this is not it.

I love that you are able to do this. It takes talent and hard work, and not everyone is going to be able to do it -- good for you for finding such a wonderful productive way to pay off your debt and find a new career that you so obviously love.

I did the same thing... flip furniture for a profit. Except there was no profit. I had to lower the cost of the furniture for people to buy it and unfortunately lost money in the process. People in my area don't buy stuff like this. It's sad as I enjoyed doing it but in the end I had to shut down a business for costing me money.

Do you have any advice (or a video) about what tools and items a beginner needs to tackle the very basics of flipping furniture? Even I could make a few hundred bucks to prove to myself I can do this, it would be worth it. Thank yoU!

and what they wont tell you is, if your in an area where people are cheap, you wont make money. then you gotta start to offer delivery..more time, more expenses. then when you want to stop that and list on sites like etsy, they will sell but then your paying taxes at the end of the year. so go ahead and try it, but i dont believe everything they say. ive been doing it a year, and I still have a full time job, and also have other priorities, so i do it when i can. but for me, id have to do a piece a week to make any money, and i just don't have the time. best of luck to anyone to try it

Key words "CONTENT CREATOR", because as a professional "flipper" myself, there is absolutely no way you can make that much bank, in that short of a period of time. You are misleading the public into thinking that it's a quick and easy process, when in fact it's very dangerous, considering the toxins created from wood dust and chemicals used to strip old furniture. Safety is HUGE with this job/hobby, and you look too young to know even half of what's required to be successful.

And you need ground i , a respirator mask and goggles; sturdy gloves, a closed garbage system for funky finish goo and discarded rags. Along with product fumes and contaminated waste, viruses and bacteria can be released in sanding dust. Also, cover your hair to protect it from dust damage. Keep your pets out ; as they can get gunk on their paws, then lick them. They can get sick and have kidney failure . Get a book at home depot and talk to the guys there. Also you must have a fan for good ventilation 😊😊

​@@thefurnituredoctor That's something you have to be transparent about. Some people will look at how much profit you make in a short timeframe and think that's universal. People can jump in headlong and find themselves struggling or even end up accruing debts because of costs before profit. Every market is different as appeal is different. Plus, I know 'smart' people who have fallen foul of 'get rich quick' scams. I'm not suggesting you're being intentionally disingenuous, but people are gullible enough to think they can make a decent living out of throwing paint at any old piece of wood.
