[@susanprice3377]

The detail that no one seems to be noticing is how you added more pulls so each "drawer" has its own -- makes the illusion of many thin drawers that much more convincing. It really does look like an antique piece now -- the veneer looks gorgeous.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you! I’ve had many people saying “too many pulls”, not realizing that if this were a REAL map cabinet, each drawer would have at LEAST one pull, and often two! So I very much appreciate the fact that you can see what I was going for here. :-)

[@TiaBaw]

You made a silk purse out of a sow's ear! Thanks for all your inspiration and the Woodworkers Guild. My husband died, and while I know how to use all the equipment in the shop, I know diddly squat about their maintenance needs. And little things like fixing the broken table saw height adjustment.💚💚💚

That quarter sawn oak is amazing. Immediately makes it look like an antique. I’m looking at my antique oak furniture and the wood looks the same. I grew up calling this “tiger oak”.

yes to the bunny furniture

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

As I mentioned in the video - I plan to do a whole video on the bunny furniture so no worries there. As for fixing dings etc in new furniture - that's not really my focus and it would depend completely on both the damage and what the piece was made of. Thanks so much for watching!

'Rog! Rabbits! There's rabbits!. Never mind the pea flakes, get through here now! Aw! You've missed them. What?! Rog! Rog! Now she's working on MDF! And she's spreading butter on it! What's going on?!' To say that Transcend is a confusing emotional rollercoaster for a certain small rodent is no exaggeration. It's why I won't let him watch any horror films fronted by hell's gatekeeper, David Attenborough. However, the appearance of wood veneer (and a few sprigs of curly-leaf parsley) restored piggie equilibrium and together we marvelled at your transformation of a fairly unprepossessing piece of hygroscopic wood substitute. Another winner.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Oh my goodness Roger.... "horror films fronted by hell's gatekeeper, David Attenborough" I'm dying of laughter right now. I'm glad the sweet boy was able to enjoy it and tell him to keep his eyes open for future bunny furniture being built that could also be used by extraordinary rodents. 😉❤️

You did a fantastic job! One little thing : the pulls that you used are too busy and too many, I prefer the original design there. But again that is me. Brava!!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

I get that. But if this was really an apothecary cabinet, every drawer would have one so.. 🤷‍♀️ (and many styles have TWO per drawer).

[@kmw8775]

I like the new pulls better than the original ones. You could even put labels in them (might have to loosen the screws first). Even if you don't put labels in them, the look that you could do that makes sense with that many drawers.

[@susangyorky2110]

The contrast of the white oak veneer with frame looks pretty awesome. It's warm and aged with an old world feel to it now.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@ThePurrlcat]

Beautiful! But I would have to have one pull for each drawer or I would never know which drawer was which! 😺😸😺👵

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

It’s pretty easy once you’ve been around it a short time. I also opted for these pulls so that people could add a label to each drawer if they wanted to. Might help tell them apart easier, but it’s not hard once you open and close them a few times.

[@opticaltrace4382]

Just my own opinion obviously but I think there's too many handles. Makes it look cluttered.

[@PeterRabbit000]

Sumptuous, as usual! If I were renewing furniture pieces I would definitely take up the offer to subscribe to the woodworking forum. It sounds wonderful. This piece and others on your channel reinforce my belief in your understanding of the relationships between functional design, aesthetics, and production cost management. That, along with the fact that you are thinking of designing your own pieces, caused the Memphis Movement return to mind. Not many people have heard of it per se but would recognize the iconic pieces that came out of it. It was actually a school of industrial designers’ tongue-in-cheek rebellion against the mindless “variations on a theme” practice of putting anything and everything in a black box-VCRs, videotape cassettes, tuners, CD players, storage units for the media, radio tuners, amplifiers, stereo speakers, seating, coffee tables, lamps, desks, computers, printers, etc., ad nauseam. Memphis pieces were designed to bring playfulness and whimsy back into everyday objects in our lives (I treated myself to a neglected Richard Sapper Alessi 9091 Chrome, Brass, & Copper Whistling Teapot, which I restored to almost new condition!) I saw a number of the pieces in an exhibit in the early 1980s, I can attest that the level of craftsmanship and detail that went into designing and fabricating these required artisans who would have to have had your particular skills, talents, and expertise. For more information, check out this introduction on Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memphis_Group

[@tarnr5713]

Beautiful, absolutely gorgeous, what a fantastic job! The practical part of me is always so disappointed in these kind of drawer units, pretending to be something they aren't and the waste of extra drawer pulls that serve no purpose. But so pretty I can almost forgive it :)

I notice you and many other woodworkers on KZbin use solvent based contact cement. Personally I’m a big fan of the latex based product. Unlike the solvent based cement it is not removable by applying heat. It actually bonds stronger by doing that. The open time is very similar and the fumes are a lot easier to take. I’ve had great success with 3M’s product. Nice work.

You do such amazing work 💖. You know those makers marks we look for when refinishing furniture? I truly believe one day it will be your mark we see. To me, once you alter a piece like you did here it should become yours. I myself have gotten into the habit of attaching a little basically 1/2 peice of an index card with key information about the refinish and month and year. I think it could help the next person doing a refinish in the future. Even if it's me in 20 years. I haven't "flipped" anything for financial gain yet, I mostly get things given to me and find others in my community in need of a piece of furniture. My ultimate goal is to do charity work like what you do for the bunnies, but I haven't found an animal oriented group in my community I want to partner with. I'm retired so I could do this. Anyway, nice work all around 😊.

Tip: The wider the saw blade on the band saw, the better the longitudinal cuts will be. The thinner the saw blade, i.e. not as wide behind the saw tooth, the easier it is to make curved cuts. But I'm not talking about the thickness of the band saw blade here, i.e. the thickness of the material, but the width.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Yes indeed. I plan to get a smaller blade for more intricate work but thankfully it came with the resaw blade already attached. :-)

Fooled me, I thought it was a map cabinet, too. That would make a great storage option for a sewing room. Patterns and tools in the top drawers, fabric in the big ones, and maybe a big enough surface to cut things out on top. It would take a big sewing room, though!

You already do so much with rehabbing furniture that the next logical step is to step up your woodworking skills. Go for it. It will help your business and it is always good to diversify.
