I would like to flip pieces, if that the right word. But my mother is a lover of antiques. I can’t imagine painting them. She has restored antiques all over her home.

Wow! You really made that piece sing. So beautiful. Using the router on the edge was really smart. 💚

Full restoration? No chalk paint?? I love to see it! You learn so much when you tackle a piece like this. You really did a fabulous job! 🎉

Finally someone who really loves repairing and bringing a beautiful piece of furniture to life again. You are a sweetheart ,!

Glad to see someone doing these type of videos that actually seems to have an appreciation for the look of the original wood 💚

So true. Vibes of Toy Story or The Velveteen Rabbit.

I would have said, that poor chest has had it's day but you you've done such a fabulous job on it. Thank you for saving this wonderful piece and showing it so much love.

I have finished old furniture that most people would thrown away. I love your videos like you I appreciate old furniture and real wood

It's always a joy to see a broken piece of furniture, that's been though so much ,when someone takes the time & effort to bring it back ,to the vintage look hidden 4 so long, amazing 👏

Beautiful piece from start to finish..love the new drawer pulls and the lock and key replacement..the stain made the piece rich...thank you so much for not painting it!

That router bit choice couldn’t have been any better!! What a gorgeous piece after it was restored!! Instant follow!! 💚

Wonderful job. Solid wood furniture should last forever.

💚💚💚 The dresser turned out amazing. If I hadn't see the before I would never have believed it was the same piece.

GORGEOUS! That’s fantastic that you were able to find a key to make the lock work again! It’s the icing on the cake 💚 👏🏼🙌

Wow, this is beautiful. As you mentioned when stripping, the wood was very delicate. And a previous owner loved this piece so much that they gorilla glued the leg together, put in dividers, and put new handles on it. They loved it, and you saved it so a new owner can love and cherish it some more. What a wonderful story.

All I can say is 'WOW' gorgeous

It’s hard to find real wood furniture! These pieces deserve people who know how to restore them to their former glory. Bravo💚

💚 Impressive restoration! Well done! I love working on seemingly hopeless pieces and watching my client’s reaction when they see the reveal of their beloved and decrepit piece. 😊

💚 HOW COULD YOU NOT WATCH TO THE END! You worked MAGIC on this piece! WOW 🏆

💚 I love seeing neglected stuff turn out this gorgeous.

Just to let you know: That dresser was made from SOLID MAHOGANY ! You literally CANNOT GET THAT ANYMORE! You did a wonderful job on it, and your use of the sawdust to make the filler was absolutely spot on! Excellent work.

I have a love for old well made pieces of wood furniture and so admire the job you did with this piece. It is just beautiful. The hand sanding is difficult, but you did a lovely job. Over the years, I refinished many pieces, but now live in a small house with no work space, so I do enjoy seeing that there are still people who will go the extra mile to save these gems. Thanks so much for sharing.

What a terrible mess to begin; what a beauty to end! Wonderful!! 💚

Back in the 70's I had no $$, but plenty of time. All types of wood were "in style" - I loved anything older, with interesting finishes. I knew nothing, but had a blast doing projects. Over the years I've lost a lot and miss a few. REALLY enjoy seeing young woman getting into this type of thing & using POWER TOOLS! Great job❤😊 Can't find GREEN HEART EMOJI, but of course I watched it ALL!!

Thank you so much. I just inherited the old sewing machine and solid wood cabinet that I learned to sew on over 60 years ago. I have a strong emotional attachment to this piece of furniture and after watching your excellent video, I feel motivated to attempt to restore it. Clearly, you are a master craftsmen who honors the original intent of the maker and respects the quality of the wood. Well done!
