I just had to click on your most recent video to tell you that you inspired me to try flipping a free piece I got from a family member. I had 0 materials, so buying primer, paint, brushes, sand blocks, etc, cost me about $100, but I just sold the piece today for my asking price of $250!! The buyer said I did such a fantastic job and she was so excited to take it home. I had a blast doing it, and getting a little bit of profit feels really nice too. Thank you!!

Essential tool for old folks flipping furniture is that cool stool on wheels! That was a game changer when I saw yours, I had to get one!!

I had to add a booster on mine because I am too short and arthritic to get up easily from that low height, but some 2x4 scrap lumber did the trick for now. I love the mobility it gives you.

I use an old office chair on wheels. I got the idea from seeing her stool and that chair was just sitting there so I started using it 😆 it really helps!

My most essential tool is my MIND, got to be able to think to dream up different designs

The tool you identified as a drill is actually an impact driver. This is an important distinction for 2 reasons. An impact driver produces a high level of torque (rotational force) which can strip out smaller fasteners and shouldn’t be used to drive drill bits because of the hammer like way it rotates. Also, you’d have to find drill bits in the 1/4 inch hex drive format so that they could be attached in the first place. Dewalt makes a drill driver that has variable torque settings and has a chuck for standard drill bits. I believe this is what you’re recommending. Hope this is helpful.

nailed it!!

Lauren, Thank you so much for this informational video. I can see the teacher in you coming out - so sweet!! I would love more of these types of videos. Facebook market place would be so great.

These are great tutorials. One topic for the future could be the pros and cons you have experienced with different vacuums/ dust extractors with sanders. I noticed previously you used a festool and more recently the Surfprep extractor. Sharing your reason for using each would be fabulous! Again, thanks for reaching and sharing your knowledge.

Excellent “lesson”. Greatly appreciated to hear such a well prepared presentation

These are great for beginners. Please continue sharing tips on necessities!

Dear sweet Lauren! Thank you so much for your wonderful informative video! I have refinish some pieces, but your information about the zebra brushes was great because I live in your area and I knew I had seen them in a store but I couldn't remember what store LOL

This was so helpful. Thank you Lauren and Neiman!

Thanks for this. This was really helpful and you are so down to earth I really trust your opinion.

Great video. Can you make a video on how to maintain your tools, especially brushes?

Thank you for such an informative video! You are an excellent teacher!

I love this type of video Lauren, thank you!

Thank you SO much for the info. I love flipping 😃💖

You’re so awesome Lauren. Thank you for sharing what you do! 🫶🏻

Thank you for the lesson . I’m going to check into getting some of the zebra brushes. I love the teaching show! Hope you do more of these! 🙂🐝🌻

Love how you share information and how you help us learn through your experience ✨️

Super helpful video. Thank you. Another video on tools would be fab please- especially as you've included beginner versus pro budgets. It would be good to have a video on chemicals used e.g. brush cleaners, furniture cleaners, different paints/ primers and when to use.

Thank you for this type of video. I'm just getting started and I have no idea what I'm doing. Thank goodness for Lauren!!!

Hi Lauren, I have watched all of your videos and love them all! I love when you do these types to show what products you're using. I would really like to see a video where you show how all your supplies are organized! My partner and I are working on setting up our own work area and I would love a few tips! Again, LOVE your videos!

Excellent! Thank you so much for helping us all...off to the store now!

Thank you so much for this !!!!!

Great to see some of materials for beginners.

I love these kinds of videos! Very helpful information! I would love to see more videos of the selling part of furniture flipping since that is what I struggle with the most. For instance selling on marketplace, how to best price your furniture and maybe even staging/ creating a good listing to help sell the piece and is it best to ask for cash or to use a money app!!

Once again thanks for the tips. Very helpful. Keep up the good work. You guys are great 👍

Thanks for sharing!

Great advice for essentials to start working on furniture. Thanks, Lauren, for this informative video !!

Love this !! You are a great teacher ❤️ yes Facebook market place is a good idea. If possible good tips on how to avoid scams. Thank you 😊

very informative, Lauren. I can tell you were an excellent kdg teacher as well. I love your instruction. Congratulations on your continued success.

Yay!! Tools!!

So helpful. Thanks so much

This was such a great video to help us all out. Really appreciate your tips.

Thank you for the info

Thank you for the informative video on tools.

Hi Lauren, I love your videos, thank you so much! You're teaching an "old dog some new tricks"! haha! I do wish you (and others) would tell us about how long each job is taking you and the breakdown of time with each task in the process. That would be super helpful!! Thanks again for sharing all your info.!

Brilliant!

Great tips!

I would like to see a video on how to tackle a piece that was already painted; how to get the paint off. I know that stripping it is an answer, but I wonder if there is a less messy, affordable approach for beginners. Love your energy and content! Great job :)

Good info!!!

You could use the brushes as a makeup brush! Lol. Love the info.

How’s the Air Bnb going? Miss you guys taking about that.

Thanks Lauren for all the information!! I do have a question regarding dust extraction. I don’t have the surf prep sander, just a regular orbital sander. I also have a wet/dry vacuum. Do you know how to connect these together? What equipment do I need? Thanks so much…I really enjoy your videos!

Lauren can you explain putting like a clear coat over a finished furniture piece. I am so confused as what to use and how to use it. Thanks 😊. I have learned so much from you! as to what to use and how to use it.

Best paint for inside staircases spindles & finishes

Love all your videos! What kind of mask do you use to protect from fumes? Thanks

Talk about Facebook Marketplace too please!

Love watching you. I sanding the wood on a dresser to much and after staining I can see swirl marks. How do I fix this. Ty

Would you do a video on removing paint from a piece before refinishing it with just a stain?

I really miss the videos you began your channel with. I loved watching the furniture transformations and sales. Seems like your channel has morphed too not something completely different.

Looked quickly, but do you have any videos with tips on how to work with outdoor furniture? Or making indoor furniture into outdoor

Hi I love your videos I would love to flip furniture I am partially disabled and would definitely need a rolling stool like yours do you have a link to that stool please look forward to many more videos xx ps you are such a delight to watch xx ps om from Scotland UK x

I am ready to go the surf-prep route and really appreciate the information on the two different sander types. Thanks for the help.

I would LOVE to try out a SerfPrep to do my kitchen cabinets but can’t find anyone who rents them. May have to take the plunge and buy one. Thanks for the info!

What is the difference between the primer and regular paint? Also, what is the difference between sanding grids and how to use them right? Thank you

Really like this kind of content. I have a small little cabinet my mother gave me years ago. When I say small I mean small. Lots of spindles and lots of curves. It has a glass front and hangs on the wall. Is it best to tape and spray paint or try to paint with small brushes?

Greetings from Ennis, Texas. I saw a can of some sort of chemical at my SW paint store that claims to help eliminate brush marks. Have you used any chemical like that, I'm sure there are others. Do they work, or it just an additional sells tool? Like you I have some Zebra brushes and they are wonderful. I got some other brand from Amazon, can't remember the name, because they are in the barn and I am inside. However they are the best I have ever used. They are so good I sometimes build something just so I can paint it. I am retired and do woodwork and furniture repair as a sideline. I will write the name down so I can let you know about them.

i think you may be talking about Floetrol which is a paint additive you can use that basically makes your paint stay wet longer thus allowing it to have time to level out

@@FurnitureFlippingTeacher Thanks that is the name I was looking for. Another question. When staining one fellow I watch, on KZread, says he uses a formula of 16 parts stain and one part spar varnish. Says it works well and last a long long time. I have not seen you do much staining, but I believe if you can paint, you can stain. Maybe you should show us some more staining as well as the painting. Might be good for a video.

@@stanleysmith8984 We believe it too and the other way round. Spar varnish is essentially no more. Originally the stuff was varnish for boat spars with a certain flexibiity and resistance to salt and fresh water. IOW. boat type things. The name caught on and stuck. Watcha got today is polyeurethane. It ain't spar varnish but if you ask the guys at you SW store they will point you in the right direction especially if you are gonna be painting or staining any spars. To decipher this 16:1 formula some stains are waterbourne and mixing them with anything but another waterbourne will maybe create the newest latest thing in flipping but generally not a good idea. Some stainers are really strong. SW has some that the ratio is 500:1 (they keep that stuff in the back) But as a fellow but ex-Texan do it the easy way and get yourself a source for some really great stuff. Bartley's Gel Stain. We try not to wander off without leaving a tip. Stuff can be painted using a mixture of "oil" base and "water" base paints mixed together or with a beater or el cheapo dollar (and a quarter..) store or one of those horribly overpriced "chip" brushes that shed hair like a (fill in the blanks) _____The general suggestion is to use similar hues and tones to begin with until this catches on again and 400 furniture flippers take credit for inventing the finish or asking if chalk paint will work.

Dang. I need to get me one of them screwdrivers. My toenail clippers is gettin worn out.

In one video you used a wood cutter that you bought for $20 at Walmart.What is it called?

How can you get the musty type smell out of furniture

I would like to know more about Facebook marketplace🙂

I still don’t understand the sander that vacuums

We really like the tools shown here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/h2ady7Kpk9rMc6Q.html Not much of a sales pitch but a great demo and a how-to We are still looking for some really great vegetable peelers and those thingies you hook up to your car to make them get 100mpg.

How about the mask what kind would be good for someone with asthma.

Always learn so much from you...I have done furniture for years for fun and cannot believe how much you have taught me!!! Thank you sweetie...by the way I am 75 years old...love following you and Nieman too...

I was wondering do I have to pay taxes on flipping furniture

I miss your videos of your profits for the month. Also miss seeing you use products that are sold at Home Depot and Menards.

Excellent advice 👌, thank you! I would really like to know more about how best to sell on Facebook Marketplace.
