I found this ANTIQUE DRESSER with a detached mirror at a thrift store several months ago. I paid $95.00 for this abandoned, painted, DIY Furniture Makeover. When I began removing the layers of paint, I discovered original white oak with beautiful tiger oak patterns. Once the necessary repairs were made, and the piece was completely sanded using my Surfprep sanders and sanding blocks, I decided this piece needed a traditional finish. I chose a dark oil-based stain, finished with several layers of clear Shellac. This was a rewarding project and I hope to find more pieces like this in the future. Thank you for all the support on the channel. Barry

I would think that the hardware is original since he showed the inset for the lock and no sign of previously drilled and filled hardware handle holes. Everything is simple traditional and a smaller scale. Also furniture from the era around Art Deco often had a modern chrome nickel finish

I’m 71 and I reckon that, if we gave young, aimless teenagers some direction, and showed them what they could do if they just set their minds to creating, rather than destroying things their lives would have new meaning and show them a brighter future. But they don’t have the zeal that our generation had. So sad.

Amasing restoration, Barry! From the way the piece is made, it looks to be a sideboard/buffet, as opposed to a dresser, (flatware in the top drawer, table linens in the bottom two drawers and serving pieces in the side spaces, behind the doors). Since the top isn't flat all the way across the top, it could've even been sold as a bar, with the side spaces used to store bottles, decanters, etc., hence the locks on the doors and not on the drawers. I can imagine one of the old blue glass mirrors in the centre, with crystal decanters setting on it. Whatever it is, you did a phenomenal job restoring its pride!!!

I’m 75 and did lots of refinishing when younger. It’s been a long time since I redid a piece of furniture but watching your videos has inspired me and soon as my creative cottage is completed in 2 weeks I’ll start working on 3 pieces of furniture I already owned and 1 my son gave me. Thanks for inspiring 👍🙏🏻💕

It's so nice to see someone actually take the time and effort to restore one of these beauties. Thank you for saving it. It was well worth the $95 and all that time to have such a gorgeous piece.

It makes me glad that you're trying to bring this vintage beautiful back to life. I hate when people who say they're refurbishing these vintage beauties just sand and chalk paint them making them look like IKEA furniture. From the couch and old refrigerator in the background I can see you love vintage and know they were built to last.

Even those of us with disabilities can find ways to enjoy and actually refinish furniture. I broke my neck and spine was paralyzed for almost 2 years, as I regained some of my mobility I found solice and purpose while at the same time teaching myself how to do things in different ways to achieve a great end. Sometimes I can't stand so I sit on an elevated stool to reach the top of things. Relearning refinishing also helped me develop patience and acceptance when it took me weeks or months to complete one item.

I hope you keep it for yourself, Barry. It's worth thousands now. There were so many super talented woodcrafters/carpenters/furniture builders in the old days. There was also plenty of beautiful hardwoods in the old days. That piece tells the tale of the old ways. Just think, you have taken part in recreating a finely crafted piece of antique furniture.
