The child's art is ADORABLE

[@Suelynngrr]

I love that you kept that drawing for the restoration, Jay! You are a lovely human being. Anyone who loves cats is a friend of mine. ♥

[@royer_redos]

It looks amazing, and I love how you saved the child's artwork.

[@Flippingdrawers]

🥰 thanks

[@KanDog]

This was another amazing rescue. As a recent subscriber, KZbin is treating me with all your older content, an absolute delight. Preserving the artwork was priceless.

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thanks ;-)

[@carla109]

How precious that you kept the memory of a child's drawing on the back! The curved legs of this piece remind me of the wardrobe in "Beauty and the Beast." Another awesome restoration! 💕

[@Flippingdrawers]

Oh thank you!

[@m.ferrer9246]

Beautiful work. Loved that you preserved the child's drawing. Your attention to detail is excellent and I also enjoy your sense of humor. Thank you.

[@phyllisgiaconia5852]

❤ Thank you for saving the artwork. That will be a precious part to this beautiful piece of furniture.

[@sdupre61]

I appreciate how you're always so thorough, making sure the whole piece, not just the visible parts, are restored. And I love your sense of humor!

[@Flippingdrawers]

Wow, thank you!

[@peggytorrez6467]

How beautiful it didn't seem possible but of course you did it I love how you found a way to save the child's artwork , only you would think of such a nice move , also love how the kitty cats come by to visit and you stop to give them attention even though your busy , very nice of you

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thank you ;-) Ive always loved cats and other animals

[@SeekingTheLoveThatGodMeans7648]

Sometime in future, how about engraving a likeness of one of the visiting cats?

[@pamsheets632]

You took this ugly chest and turned it into a gorgeous piece! I love your videos and sanding makes me cry too! Your work is exquisite! Thank you for sharing your awesome talent with all of us!

[@Flippingdrawers]

my pleasure 😉

[@PaintingandExercise]

Your attention to detail and your willingness to sand every nook and cranny to bring the wood back to life earns you a standing ovation. I am sure that many people do not realize how tedious and time consuming the task of sanding becomes especially when you have to wear a mask for hours at a time. The results are stunning.

[@Flippingdrawers]

100% and thank you so much 😊

[@jppurves7837]

A lovely result as always. I'm very impressed with the stripper you use, it seems to work exceptionally well. I was glad you were able to replicate the artwork and add it to the back. It's always a treat to see the visiting cats, even the new shy one.

[@Flippingdrawers]

awesome 🤗 thanks

[@ГалинаМ-м2л]

[@carolynledford6484]

What an amazing transformation!! From one piece of art to another. The original art on the back was such a sweet touch.! Great job!!

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thank you so much 😀

[@WobblyBiped]

What a stunner! Your attention to detail is so satisfying. Not many people would disassemble the drawers and do the "little stuff" that really makes a huge difference. This chest is drop-dead gorgeous. Thank you for sharing your workshop with us, and thanks for the cameos with the kitties. Cheers from Oklahoma!

[@Flippingdrawers]

You are so welcome!🥰

Brilliant - and again so beautiful brass-knobs with shiny stones in it! Again a very fine piece with its own character. - So adorable and fanciful how you saved even the childrens drawing, that warms my heart! Glad to see your own logo at the backside. - Now I'm very fond and curious of your coming collaboration with David - I think, you are both so passionated people - in any case you will be a very good team!

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thank you so much ! I agree, @mayfieldrestorations (David) has very similar work ethic to mine. It should be fun 😉

the way the original knobs were used as screws for the replacement hardware at the start is actually genius, I'm going to do that whenever I switch out knobs from now on

Efficient method of catching stripper debris. Nice art preservation, too. Overjoyed to see your respirator mask. Final result is stunning. Not sure about drawer pulls but if the dresser could talk, it would thank you for your precision, epic sanding and tasteful oil/stain application not only on the outside but also inside the drawers. Well done, thou good and faithful (sic) craftsman [apologies to the original Bible verse].🎉😊

That is an absolutely beautiful piece of restoration work. You took a vandalized piece of vintage furniture and restored it to it's original beauty.

[@yvonnepagan9912]

From an absolute shambles to sheer delight! I’ll bet that little person who drew on it would be amazed at what you’ve done to her grubby old dresser. “ After sanding all day, I went home and cried for a little bit!” I love it! But, you know what, even Michelangelo cried a bit over the Sistine Chapel ceiling! And that took YEARS! Every great artist gets frustrated some time. And I adore your sweet cats. Nothing pleases more than the sound of a cat purring, or kids giggling.❤️🦘

Oh my goodness ya caught me by surprise by saving and engraving the child’s art drawing on the back. How special and sweet. What a beautiful dresser. Looks like a miniature highboy. You make me laugh out loud when you say you took a break and went to have a cry lol. If I did that much sanding I’d cry too. I think I you should name your lil female kitty Princess bc she shows you how much she loves you. ❤️🇺🇸👍🏼

[@kathleenchalmers8234]

Your tears were not wasted! She is gorgeous! She was so lucky to land in your shop. The paint seemed thick and sticky and I would not have had your patience. I would have taken a shortcut and ruined everything . You talent was wasted on the health industry. This is definitely what you were born to do! Enjoyed every second. Stay safe.

While you were working with this dresser I found myself admiring how well it was constructed and I could see that the wood is of an excellent grade. When you finally confirmed that it is mahogany I found myself nodding in agreement. As usual excellent work. I suspect that the creature you were referring to is one which Dr Zeus would really approve of. Imagination at its finest.

I love mahogany. I can't understand why anyone would want to paint over it. It makes me really happy to see it restored to it's natural glory. I love watching you work, you are so thorough and meticulous, and your workspace is always so tidy, plus you have beautiful tools. My favorite thing to do as a kid was be in the garage with my dad when he was woodworking. My job was sanding, always with the grain, and til the surface felt softer than velvet......Miss my dad and those days......Thanks for the videos.....I'm subscribed and look forward to your projects.
