Modern Problems Require Modern Solutions

I've been wanting to try this leaning bookshelf/cabinet design for a long time now, and when I found this cabinet out on the street, I immediately knew it was the perfect volunteer for it.
If you enjoy this makeover, I'd appreciate a like! And let me know what you thought :)

[@charleston1789]

Honestly, I genuinely love the mix of both, it’d get repetitive if all the vids were the same. This was awesome btw, such a unique piece - your ideas are super creative

[@kyx5631]

Healthy mix is where it's at.

[@esmekaffen4961]

From you, I want it all!

[@esmekaffen4961]

@@charleston1789Totally agree. Really unique and beautiful.

[@zero_bs_tolerance8646]

I started off watching restorations a couple of years ago but then I saw your channel and it was all over. Your makeovers are so beautiful and unique. A joy to watch you work.

[@nomadine85]

So futuristic in the most elegantly, mid century modern way!

[@jodidavis6595]

Oh my gosh that’s exciting what I was thinking 👍🏼

[@gregpendrey6711]

It's good but, you know, mid century design is always practical, if you were to be authentic. The inside woks for something. Unfortunately the top works for nothing. Good news is it can be modified. Vote 💙 USA

[@gtlfb]

I so admire how you saw, not a crappy piece of furniture, but a source of raw material.

[@CaptainLaika]

You always put a great deal of effort into the furniture, but you also have quite the eye for design.

[@kennyduncan7]

Mariya Takeuchi

[@SleepyCatCottage]

No joke. This man is a craftsman, a woodworker, a designer, and an artist. He needs to have a one person exhibit in a gallery...if he hasn't already.

[@CaptainLaika]

@@kennyduncan7 Yeah, this is her body but my face/face swap thing

[@lwilliams946]

ok, now you're just showing off. You are so creative always enjoy watching!

[@charleston1789]

These videos are mesmerising, I lose all awareness of anything else and just watch these raptly from start to finish 😄

[@shannonbongard7909]

Ya know, at first I was thinking, what is with the crazy angle? You can't put anything on top. Then I realized that all cabinets should be made like this. It's far more ergonomic to grab something out of it and you don't have to bend all the way down to see what's on the bottom shelf. Absolute genius! I want all my cabinets to look like this!

[@TheWeightNarc]

Sound point…and if the top was just angled to level, then it would be perfect…simple compromise. 👌🏼

[@desireedoan9267]

I think you should have your own big-time furniture design studio, and I hope your signature is on all your pieces. They are definitely ART

[@DBerr34987]

I have never seen someone so meticulous, neat and creative. Even your shop is perfectly organized! Even you paint cans are spotless! 🙂

[@InkWellideas]

Absolutely love the aesthetic and functional aspect of the design of this piece; easy floor cleaning, no top clutter

[@suemedeiros]

The wow factor went off the sacle for this one. Your eye for design is amazing!

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Can’t get over the perfect video and audio skills, on top of the amazing furniture makeovers! Nice work Andy

[@mokimmy6457]

This reminded me of Saturday mornings as a kid watching The Jetson’s! So futuristic. I love how you not only think outside of the box, but make it at an angle ❤️😍❤️. Great job 👍🏻

[@julieg6383]

With extra shelving, this type of design would be awesome for shoe storage at the front door. Love it!

[@modgal]

Yes! My first thought too

[@oceaneyes937]

That thing looks like it could come to life and walk away!!! I love restorations videos for the loving care of preserving history, but I love makeovers like this because it shows you can make something beautiful from someone else's trash and I love the surprise of seeing the end result!

[@348Tobico]

Beauty from total rubbish!! I really enjoy watching how your mind works on these projects.

[@Morimegami]

I pounced on this video like a hawk!! 😂 great work 💘

[@Llamarama100]

It looks like a futuristic piece from the 50s, normally not a fan of painting wood but it works here, nice job!

[@MidwestMagicCleaning]

That is incredibly beautiful. One of my favorites so far.

[@debbieday52]

You have such a great creative eye. You took something that was basically ready for the scrap pile and made it into a statement. You're like a musician who plays a piece by ear with no sheet music. Very nice!

[@tangormley]

You do not have a bad design in you! No matter what you do, I love all aspects of your work. As I watch from the edge of my seat, I find myself saying, "what is he up to now?" Please don't worry about what your followers want to see...unleash your creativity! Unchained, you are a beast!

[@danslininger1315]

That's a very interesting use of angles! I love it!

[@MarkMcCluney]

As always, it's certainly beautifully executed but I'm not sure about the tilted design. I guess it's just not my cuppa' tea, but what do I know? Great vid, very enjoyable, thanks for all your efforts. Cheers mate.

[@huntressmma1822]

I commend your bravery for sacrificing the ducky sock!

[@esmekaffen4961]

At first I wasn’t sure about the tilt thing, but when you opened the doors and the shelves inside don’t tilt? Totally brilliant, unexpected and I love it.

[@cleopatracatra2097]

My thought as well!

[@Michael_Alaska]

The shelves do tilt.

[@SleepyCatCottage]

So edgy. I love it. When you look at it your senses don't quite know what to make of it. This is art not just renovated furniture. I appreciate it so much for how it engages me. I would really enjoy having this in my home. Brilliant work. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@tarafoley6030]

This transformation is really neat!

[@lmgorbea1]

Very impressive transformation of somebody’s trash into treasure.

[@ellisregina2313]

And the like always goes at the beginning of the video, because I'm sure it will be a wonderful work. I really appreciate your creativity. I'm always waiting for a new video to see what work of art you will make. O like sempre vai no início do vídeo, porque tenho certeza que será um trabalho maravilhoso. Aprecio demais a sua criatividade. Estou sempre a espera de um vídeo novo para saber qual obra de arte você fará. Abraços do sul do Brasil ♥️💋🌺

[@MG-co8ug]

What the--- so awesome! So original. Restorations are my fave, but this was unexpected! Your channel is so much fun ro watch. From rebuilding or restoring, creative filming & editing. I look forward to every post. Thanks!

[@mewesty6280]

Dude!!! Yew are so creative! I missed you and yer wonderful creations….Love from Texas

The using of dowels instead of endless screws was really impressive 😮

[@xostilldollxo]

I could watch your videos forever, thank you❤

[@traceyspad01]

What an amazing vision. Fantastic piece. ❤

[@Ronkeyroo]

What a conversation piece. And a space saver. I love it. ❤

Yay! I have been hoping for a new video from this awesome channel!!!

[@staceyglyde]

Love your videos, love your work. I’m always surprised and impressed with how you change junk into beauty. Well done.

[@TimiMoffatt]

Stylish and good use of resources. Well done.

[@dkang3239]

dude love the way u come up with a design !

[@tonyaheath8500]

Wow. Reminds me of a movie where the furniture was a secret entrance to a hidden room. Love the design.

[@MissLucyJane]

The shape is so cool! It's like it's bursting out of the wall.

[@clownnut1925]

You and your work are amazing!!

[@Flecha57]

Once I started to watch the video, I wondered what you were going to do with a "simple" piece like that. I was mesmerized by the whole process as I trying to understand the "angles". 📐📐📐 You did not disappoint. You are an artist, no doubt. 🎨 From trash to treasure, the end result was stunning. I love it. 🤩🤩🤩

[@lovingmayberry307]

Talk about out of the box thinking!!! LOVE this piece! 👍❤️

[@lilashelton535]

Just phenomenally fabulous.

[@yvonnemcgruder3296]

Anything you make, I will watch. You have a unique and unmatched talent. This is beautiful!

[@crafterscrapbook]

Very unusual piece, quite different from what you usually do. I like it.

[@AndreaMerchak]

Very creative, you gave it an unusual but pleasant look.

[@katyrose9770]

Loved it a lot! Unique shapes, very smooth and nice😊

[@pamsheets632]

Wow, what an amazing unique cabinet! You definitely are very creative! I love the design and the legs make it different the way they slant. Excellent job! 😊❤

[@cherylrandall-z1e]

You have incredible creative vision How fascinating to watch such a redemptive process unfold Making old things new is spiritual Keep doing what you’re doing You’re an inspiration

brilliant as always... love the color combination and the tilt for the books... we love your vids... aloha! ✌️💜🤙🌺

Watching your videos makes me want to do Makeovers myself! You are so talented and creative with every makeover you complete. Also your camera angles and editing skills need to be praised just as much.

[@jrdmgl6190]

you really have a more youthful and fresh take on designing furniture... this was so cool

[@salvadorlopez3991]

Bien hecho, ha quedado muy bonito. Enhorabuena por tu canal, llevo tiempo siguiéndote pero nunca te había felicitado. Saludos.

[@stevenlands4524]

Anyone lucky enough to buy one of your pieces, owns a work of art.

[@siusaidhchaimbeul5499]

Almost the only thing I regret about no longer living on ON.

[@sylviaachee]

Definitely one of my favorites. Love the blue color and the stain on the wood compliments it beautifully.

[@CrabOfDoom]

That's very cool and creative, from a rather plain junker piece. This would make a great cabinet for pricier yarn skeins, special fabrics, and artist-tier spray paints, as well as for books; nothing would get squashed at the bottom of a stack, or left hard to reach behind the first couple of rows. Not sure of the bottom's exact depth here, but the design would be good for smaller-scale wine storage, too. Could be a great toybox, for pet toys or kids who've outgrown 'baby'-ish things. A surprising lot of uses, when you think about it. Excellent work.

[@somyRed]

I love it ❤ you have a great imagination and problem solving

[@siusaidhchaimbeul5499]

Same for me. Equal parts relaxing and inspiring.

[@pongvang316]

😮😮😮 it is the most beautiful and innovative restoration I've seen

[@tnxstaff]

FANTASTIC WORK MAN!!!!

[@Peptalk1w34]

I can’t believe it’s the same piece 😮. Truly amazing 😊

[@susantulleynehus5054]

I agree with others’ comments. Your eye for design is superb. I do not know what you do as a career, but you could definitely design furniture that people would love. But the best part of your channel is watching the transformation from usually junk to treasure.

[@jodyjones8155]

Like the tilting a lot. I'm not a makeover but thinking it should be level at the top unless their are folks who have a volume of space for the artistic vibe. You are amazing, great idea!

[@myraholmes8702]

There you go, Andy. Doing the unexpected. Love it. Don't stay away so long

[@fouadhachi8750]

[@xio3857]

brilliant redesign. totally cool piece. I will not stop thinking about it.

[@normanthedoorman9993]

This might be my favorite one so far. Incredible!

[@nariu7times328]

This piece is fantastic; your skills in creating are really enjoyable to watch. I like restorations and makeovers - having some variety is nice. I also like that the videos are relatively quiet, and when you are outside and can hear the birds and wind. Not what you would typically expect from a woodworking video, but it is exactly why I keep coming back to watch more.

[@gabriellacorbin3415]

Great job as always
