Mid Century Drawers Restoration

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

A fellow furniture enthusiast contacted me to see if I was interested in restoring this Stag Fineline 1960's set of drawers. It was covered in paint, stains, water marks and was in need of some TLC. Stripping varnish, plenty of sanding, bleaching the wood and refinishing - it was certainly challenging but I was happy with the result and look forward to finding it a new home.

    Looks awesome! Keep talking and using subtitles--that way one can watch it on mute. Personally, I listen with subtitles on in case I have trouble with your accent. And keep in the shots of your son!

    I prefer listening to the voice-over and explanation, which is more useful than just showing what you do. It's good to see a more relaxed style of editing as well vs. the dynamic one. For me, personally, it fits better with the furniture videos, I watch mostly when relaxing and winding down.

    At first I didn't like the color of the dark stain but the finished piece is gorgeous. I was shocked. It still has the appeal of the 60's warmth. I like it!! Also, I love a mixture of ASMR and explanation. Like do one ASMR, do the next one talking. Or, just combine the two when extra explanation is required. I just love them both. Sometimes just the woodworking sounds are soothing after a long day.

You are bringing your own take on things and if they don't like it they can lump it! P.S. I thought you'd be supporting a fellow Kiwi by using Coopers Stripper - it works a treat!
