Desculpe dar meu palpite nessa magnifica restauração, com todo o respeito ,mas eu inverteria, fecharia a parte traseira , colocaria vidro nas 2 portinhas da frente e em cima um lindo tampo encerado. O senhor tem minha admiração com suas magníficas restaurações.

Such seemingly "back-from-the-dead" restorations have an uncanny hope-inducing quality to them.

Mando, I’ll bet you have hundreds of admirers! Love that cat. I love his curiosity. Jay, you are “one man and his cat”. Another fabulous restoration. Actually a miracle transformation.

Most museums have little shops, would be ideal for that. Also high end stores that appeal to the traditional quality market could use to display accessories - I’m thinking like the kind of shops in Leeds Victoria quarter which are all in our historic arcades surrounded by Victorian architecture. But I love the museum idea.

You might be surprised who might have a use for this. What a resurrection! I give you credit for tackling this. It is truly "back from the dead."

You did a great job! The idea behind donating this to a charity thrift store is brilliant! They can display donated items in an elegant display cabinet, thereby helping them to keep on getting profit. Things like this are needed just like donations to help them run. However, I would offer to install some locks for safety, and in the cabinet, to make a thin piece of wood, with maybe some thin felting, then black or navy velvet for display. The jewelry wont slide around on the wood and scratch it up. Just some thoughts.

Loved the video. Your comment about the pieces you used for the legs made me laugh and not only gave me a great memory but also (watching all your videos), I finally understood what my Dad, who was a furniture designer, would always say about a random scrap of wood...."I might need that someday."

For every scrap piece of wood my husband says "A tree died for that! At least let me make something beautiful with it!"

What a labour of love! You definitely pulled it off. ❤️ Mr. Mando just knows how to grab the attention with his playful antics in the background. Good thing Hugo popped in for a cuddle to lift your spirits. Mando probably decided that this project was junk after he inspected it, and left you to your own devices. Where is the loyalty when the going gets tough ?😂😂😂 Which model is your Makita miter saw?

You really deserve a coffee after that transformation! A charity shop would probably appreciate the display cabinet for jewelery and such- what a good idea!

That's beautiful! I'm glad you didn't give up. If I didn't live in a different country I would have taken a lot of the pieces that you have donated.

Can’t really believe you can put it back to life but you did it! Another great work, 👍 Yes the legs are a bit odd as they are in round shape, attached to a rectangular cabinet. But I guess that’s your style as you like to go contradictory like the two tones of colour in another project. It would be very kind of you to donate it to church or charity. ❤ God bless you !

Are. You. Kidding. Me?! Jay, you are a freaking magician! This flip gave me such anxiety! I honestly didn’t have much hope. But you turned it into a sweet little chest that someone will love to use! Awesome work as always!! 🙌

Very interesting. And I could see someone using it in a home to display something of importance for themselves. Very nice for putting a set of mementos in, all organized for display. Perhaps a set of awards or medal for an athlete.

Thank you for showing & explaining It turned out great. You certainly have patience. It’s very calming to watch.

If you weren't under a time constraint I am sure you would have done it differently. It did turn out great all the same. My Victorian display case isn't as bad so I am not going to strip it down completely. I have sliding glass doors which are sticky. I will do some research on how to free them up. Thanks for a great video.

I really admire your tenacity and the pride you take in your work. Not many people around like that anymore.

It’s hard to believe it is the same cabinet! I literally wasn’t expecting much when I saw the state of that cabinet but you brought it back from the dead! ❤❤❤❤❤
