Louver doors with slats that pop out is something that I've wanted to attempt for a long time, but I just never found the perfect piece to try it on... until I ran across this. I found this top half of a china cabinet on the curb. Not only was it entirely solid wood, but it was also in amazing condition, so I knew it had big potential to be transformed into a high quality piece. I decided to turn it into a liquor cabinet, hence the wine bottle silhouettes on the doors. Going into this project, I knew it wouldn't be easy; the markings and cuts would have to be precise in order for the slats to be spaced evenly across all three doors. It also turns out that cutting and sanding 135 slats with extreme care is quite time consuming (I think I spent 2 whole days just sanding all the edges). The chinoiserie leg design was also one that I had never built before, so that was a new challenge on its own. In the end, I'm very pleased with the outcome of this project, and with this video I hope to share some of that joy. - Andy

Amazing, just AMAZING! Your talent is unbelievable, you are so blessed. Thank you for sharing this and all of your videos. Take care, stay safe.

I don't know Andy, I'm running out of new words to express my thoughts. This piece is not only beautiful art, but is intelligent design. That's even before you begin the work!!! Completed, it's a one of a kind masterpiece matched only by your previous work. I do hesitate to use the word 'work' because the video displays joyful crafting. You, my friend, are a joy to watch as you create. Thanks.....🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷

I am in the exact same position as you. I am in awe of his work, style, production quality, the power of the silent approach and vision. My words don't seem to be enough to describe it. I think we should try though, so here we go: THAT'S BLOODY LOVELY!! Apologies for the vulgarity but sometimes it is needed!!

The absolute best compliment I can pay you is to tell you that yours are the only KZread videos I watch at normal speed!

I’m speechless... first of all, I don’t know how you even envisioned such a beautiful design, and secondly, your patience and attention to every tiny detail is amazing, Bravo, young man- I hope you sold it for thousands- it’s worth every penny!

I've just discovered the channel. He is a true craftsman, and I love the subtle wit of his presentations, too!

As if this woodworking project wasn't tedious enough, he still goes the extra mile to make an amazing video on top of it all. I'm already looking forward to your next upload.

I love that you don’t talk and don’t play music

Andy... What. The. Hell?! I normally have some compliment disguised as snarky sarcasm. But this time, I'm just going to say it's... its... hmmm, I dunno man. At the moment I can't think of a word that means more than stunning.

I can tell this particular project must have taken FOREVER to finish! Incredible work and art!

You say that you're 'pleased with the outcome'? You should be ecstatic! I believe that I've seen all of your vids & they leave me with my mouth hanging open. This one tops them all! The DIY Wife could learn a lot from your legs & skirting -- really. Hand sanding 135 teeny, tiny slats for painting & in between coats -- you get the 'Glutton for Punishment' Award. But honestly, it was worth it. The piece is breathtaking!

Brilliant job again friend, it look's really cool great job, have a nice day & Stay Safe. Brian UK !!!.

I’ve been watching amazed. Splendid skills. By the way; video editing is not less than the job. Thanks for existing.

Killing the game!

The amount of sanding😬...such patience and hard work. Turned out absolutely beautiful.

Tons of work but absolutely beautiful.

WOW. Beautiful. I have gone back and watched all you previous videos. I love them. I love your creativity.

You certainly dont like easy jobs..excellent transformation.

Your design esthetic is impeccable and your calm determination is inspiring

Not what I expected, Much Better. Just one word, WOW!

This is the most incredible thing I've seen on KZread.

Your talent makes me weep. Both your furniture creations and videos are chefs kiss. Amazing job as always!!!!

I hope your pieces are signed and dated. Art. On every level. And to be enjoyed for the ages.

There are no words for this ... I think it's the best thing I've ever seen.

I loved it. I loved how you didn't feel a need to talk through your whole video too.

Amazing!!!

The bottle design on the slats is genius. It a cabinet but also a unique piece of art

This is a masterpiece, a true example of patience and dedication.

I just stumbled over your videos by accident and I am speechless. Your work is stunning and so lovingly done. with an added bonus that my anxious brain just went into a meditative state by watching this!! Thank you for sharing your art

Your editing & sound design 👌 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Whoever left this on the Curb would be foaming at the mouth if they saw this 😆😆😆 unbelievable job 👍🏻

I love the way your mind works 10 steps ahead to get the end result that you envisioned at the beginning. Like...all those notches for the slats...and "I'll use nature!" I mean, who thinks that way? YOU, obviously! ;-) And all of the pieces to make both concave AND convex bottles on the fronts. Not only that, but the photography you have to go along with it all. To you it might seem "natural," but to us mere mortals, it's kinda mind blowing actually.

О, Боги, самое прекрасное, что я вижу, так это по-настоящему счастливого человека. Человек, который реализует задуманное- удивительный. Я восхищена этим произведением и вниманием к деталям. Как дерево поддаётся мастеру - на это можно смотреть бесконечно. О, эти использованные по непрямому назначению носки 🧦 - 😅👍🔥 я теперь тоже их буду бережно хранить для таких работ. Правда очень мило 😇 ❤️

LOL... my first thought was "ohhhh... he got a new toy!" because my experience is that this special kind of crazy happens when you need to play with a new tool that "only cuts this specific kind of wood slat" or the like lol. Seriously, I don't think people even realize the time it takes to edit the way you do, let alone build a cabinet. Hats off to your dedication my dude... Epic.

Absolutely gorgeous. You did an amazing job. My son would appreciate something like that in his home. Well done indeed. To think that this was going to be scrapped if no one took it. You have given new life to an old piece of furniture that’ll now get at least another 2-3 decades of life it it’s looked after. You are a craftsman young sir, may you have many many more fruitful years of carpentry in you and that you become very successful and wealthy from your craft and talent.

So this is where you’ve been! You keep on turning out these masterpieces. Amazing detail as always and so imaginative. Love the use of nature, that was something else! Such a truly beautiful piece indeed. Looking forward to seeing your next work of art ❤️❤️❤️

My fav carpentry guy. Another amazing masterpiece, great job.

It came out beautiful

Wow, so impressive 👏 😍 🙌 👌

What a fantastic job you did,,,,,it’s one of the most professional I’ve seen on KZread,,,bravo

Sie sind nicht nur handwerklich ein großer Könner, sondern verfügen auch über eine wunderbare Ästhetik, die mich begeistern lässt!

It’s a real work of artist! An old piece of furniture transformed into a designer piece of furniture in an exotic style!

for a woodworker you have some very interesting friends... a termite and a squirrel... could be trouble! my squirrel friend, Tak Tak, likes to 'soften the edges' of all my furniture.

You my dear Andy are in a totally different dimension , i can never do what you are doing but it is a pure enjoyment watching you, bravo👏👏👏

So etwas habe ich noch nie gesehen. Was für eine Arbeit. Genial

Dude, you are a master of masters you skills are very impressive and I'm blowing away because you don't have those fancy tools that other guys have, that inspire us as a weekend warriors that there is not limitations or excuses to get the job done, kudos to you my friend ,always a pleasure to watch you vids, very straight forward and not to much talking, .... 🤟🏽👍🏽

Love ur style because u modernized the furniture and looks more elegant than others...keep up

The liquor cabinet is very lovely! You did good work with it

You should have a furniture makeover show. I’m shocked that no one has offered you a deal. I’m sure viewers would be mesmerized by these trash to treasure transformations.

Not only having the equipment and knowing how to use it. ....................the creations that come from him are totally awesome

When I feel a bit anxious, seeing how you work meticulously kinda calms me down 😂 I dont know why but it does. There is a sense of stability in how you work.

Wow this is amazing, it really inspires me to make art too!

I can't decide what I enjoy most - your creative and entertaining videographer skill or your amazing and meticulous woodworking skill. I particularly enjoyed the backdrop of greenery, the squirrel and multiple insects. You are truly gifted my friend and good things will come to you. Bravo - thoroughly enjoyed this video and Instagram pics!

Aw man. I'm just in total awe yet again. I love the design. Your attention to detail is second to none. Thank you for this 18 minutes of pure joy. You're a bloomin' genius young man.

Superb as usual. Excellent work. Delightful design

This is stunning, you’re a true craftsman

Wow Wow Wow! I love your work. This is beautiful! I am inspired every time I watch you work. I am a beginner & learning much from you.

SO nice to see you again!!!!

OK, first off, how do you only have 57k followers?!? This is some really great work! I will be using the paint mixed with sealer trick myself. One word of caution...keep an eye on that plug you made for the hole in the top. Using green wood is nice, but it will shrink as it dries out and could split. Can't wait for your next video! Keep up the great work! Oh, almost forgot...beautiful editing and camera work too. The beauty shots at the end are fantastic.

I am in complete awe...your talent is unparalled :)

There are small handful of utter gems on youtube and your channel is one of them. Astounding patience and mindfulness throughout. I could watch you for hours.

You are one of the best furniture refurbishers out there right now! I love watching the transformations. You are so talented and creative beyond expectation. Excelent craftsmanship

First time viewer here. As soon as you painted the outside back of the piece, I knew I was in the presence of a master craftsman who takes no shortcuts.

Dude... this is amazing. Every time I'm in awe of your attention to detail and your ability to recycle materials. When designing I find it WAY easier to start from scratch so I'm super impressed. And all of those slats? 2 days on sanding alone?! 😭 I would've been crying. Also, the curves on the skirt and legs? *chef's kiss* Great as always man, thank you for sharing!

This is completely different level of DIY!!! Holly mother. You are good!!

I wish you would have shown how did you installed the glass shelving and the lights. 😔 Other than that, it is a stunning piece. I would buy it in a heartbeat. You are an artist, keep it up! ❤️

I discovered your channel yesterday and I'm addicted! You're doing perfect work ✨ here we are again with a unique piece 😍

I read the comments before finishing the video and one said it was jaw-dropping and I thought well of course all of his stuff is but then I saw the finished product and how you put the wine bottle into the slats and my jaw dropped. I don’t know how you do it but you continue to out do you yourself. I am surprised that others don’t reach out to you for challenges($100 challenge, fall/Halloween challenge) Probably because you will blow them all away😃

Masterpiece!!!!!!!!!! Masterpiece!!!!!!!!! You're the best! Hugs from Spain!
