I appreciate seeing the "mistakes" because we learn as much or more from mistakes as we do from the successes. Thank you for keeping those in the videos. Beautiful.

[@hectormorales4090]

learning is a process to obtain knowledge and, when doing so, one should not be afraid of the process, which includes mistakes. I think your channel is, in short, refreshing!

[@bodders4167]

Yet another stunning transformation ✨ Hugo's not just after snacks he obviously likes you and loves the attention you give him. If he didn't like you he wouldn't hang around for even a millisecond...

That piece is so beautiful I’d use it in my house, with pride! Amazing!

[@ellenswartz7203]

That’s what I came here to say. I’d think about using it in your house Jay - or sell it. It’s almost a complete rebuild.

[@debsmith2269]

That's one snazzy workshop cabinet. Great job bringing it back to life. You're always resurrecting pieces that most people would put in the "too hard basket," so kudos to you for that too.

[@Flippingdrawers]

Ha ha thank you 😊

[@helenascheele5922]

I’m sorry, but I would or could never use walnut veneer for a storage in my shop (oh no, I don’t have one). Nor could I afford to buy all that fancy equipment. I’m not jealous, really, but it hurts me to see that veneer “wasted”. I hope you keep the piece protected wherever you put it!😮

It is indeed luxurious! I'm glad you changed the color on the body. Quite a nice piece.

Jay, this cabinet is a masterpiece! Despite the learning opportunities that this piece provided, the end result is amazing. Thank you for sharing all of the problems that you had along the way! You would never see that cat if she didn't like you. This video was a bright spot in the afternoon.

[@Flippingdrawers]

Awesome 🤩 thank you for the kind words

[@elizabethwoodley4340]

I’m pausing the video to thank you for leaving in your experiments, mistakes, and learning opportunities. Growing up all shows edited that stuff out and we got a skewed view of what the creative process is about, which was discouraging for learners who made mistakes. I love that now we normalize failing, learning, and changing course! It’s so important for beginners to see that!!

[@eaglespirit3052]

I like your restorations a great deal, and Hugo has stolen my heart 😻

[@angusmclaren6257]

Another awesome result. Don't worry about how long or short your videos are, we enjoy the process and your work no matter. Looking forward to the next one. And keep the mistakes in, they'll help others know what they could possibly expect if doing a similar process.

[@kellyblodgett3214]

Thank you for keeping in your mistakes or errors. It actually helps to know that someone else runs into “issues”. It seems almost every project I do lately has issues. Great looking cabinet, thanks for the video! Also that is for the heads up on the dowel machine, will keep that in mind as I look for one.
