MID CENTURY CHEST OF DRAWERS MAKEOVER / Furniture refinishing / Spray painting

[@kingedward6146]

Rafael is the Michaelangelo of woodwork of the 21st Century ❤👏

[@Madebyraphael]

Hahaha thanks a lot buddy😊

[@Simon-qg9nh]

Omg you’re so blind about the real woodworking. That video show only a nice restoration but has nothing incredible and everybody who’s a bit skilled with their hands and have professional tools can do the same.

[@marciavasconcelloscarneiro2188]

Lindíssimo!!!🌹❤️

[@BangBangNinerGang415]

@@Simon-qg9nh he is somewhere in between. He has great taste. He transforms tired relics into updated pieces. He is more skilled than a “woodworker” who uses a CNC machine. Give the man some credit.

[@Simon-qg9nh]

@@BangBangNinerGang415 I agree with you but to use this superlative, I find it exaggerated. There are woodworkers who make things that are not necessarily more beautiful but much more technical. Rafael has very good ideas, impeccable execution and incredible patience but there is much more difficult and technical.

[@jackiewalker6076]

I still look at your work you did a year ago. I love to watch you turn old furniture into pieces I would love to have. I've never seen anyone else restore furniture like you. Please show some more.

[@Madebyraphael]

Thanks for your feedback 😊👍😊

[@temcheirodeque]

Wow! You treat the piece with care and love and the result is a work of art! Fisrt time here and a became a fan.

[@Madebyraphael]

Thank you very much! Really appreciate it 😄

[@jenniferterris802]

[@lkurgpold]

I just found your videos. I admire what you are doing with the restorations. I have to commend you for some really beautiful videos, particularly this one! Really innovative camera angles and shots and some very nice editing! Not something I was expecting from furniture restoration! Great job! Looking forward to watching more!

[@Madebyraphael]

Thank you very much for your time and lovely comment! Really appreciate it Linda😊

Sir you are a true artist. Thank you for making your videos, they are inspiring.

Uauuu! Um artista ❤👏👏

[@andreiaoliveira4579]

Amei, parabéns, excelente trabalho. Adoro assistir seus vídeos.

[@onna-lisakyom]

Your work impeccable! Love watching your videos, but have a small suggestion: Have you thought about switching the background music between videos, or using multiple songs in the same video? For someone who wants to watch several videos in a row, hearing the same song for almost an hour can be a little grating. Wish you the best!

[@Madebyraphael]

Thank you for your advice Anna! Really appreciate it👍

[@veronicarar8227]

I am impressed by this work but I have to watch them in mute. The music was driving me crazy 😜

[@ann-mariemeurs952]

I liked a video where there was no music just the sound of him working.

[@Madebyraphael]

Last one is without music 😊

[@HollyMarieF69]

I love all your videos!!! But I was just wondering why you chose to cover that beautiful wood grain in this one? That surprised me and I would be lying if I said I wasn’t sad to see it covered. Your work is impeccable and beautiful!

[@brigidadebarros1720]

Perfection!

[@tomikocsis3813]

Great job, like an artist👌 don’t stop this work👌

[@Madebyraphael]

Thanks a lot Tomi😊

[@Eirdis]

This is so professional... I attempted to spray paint a piece of furniture for my latest video but it tdly failed. The art I painted on it didn't though... I think. Would love to know what you think of it :)

[@Madebyraphael]

Thank you for kind words 😊 I will check 👍👍

[@gladyssanchez5928]

[@Madebyraphael]

Hahah Many thanks 😊

[@colinmartin9797]

Just making me jealous since I have a couple projects sitting in my garage that I can't work on because school is killing me. Refinishing our dining table and chairs with painted legs and french polishing the oak top/seat, and refinishing a nasty ikea bent plywood chair and ottoman by stripping the hideous black paint and walnut staining/french polishing the legs. Love your channel, I tend to always prefer raw wood, but you've given me quite a few accent paint ideas that I'm totally going to use. I would recommend you switch to paint stripper and a paint scraper for the initial stripping though - the orbit sander has a habit of rounding off edges and the overall cost of stripping is quite a lot cheaper than sandpaper, and the time involved is roughly the same.

[@sandeeppatel9467]

Love your work. Can you tell me if you used white spirit on the blue paint aswell to thin it?

[@Madebyraphael]

White spirit is only for cleaning up.. I'm using waterbased paint so u can only use water to thin it.... Depends what kind paint u using......

[@fabianadeangelo3390]

Que trabalho lindo! Parabéns!

You are a great entertainer ! I love your video !

Thank you very much😊😊

[@adamanda00]

Eres increíble!!!!!!

[@derekstevenson8885]

You should consider having a spray booth with an extractor and a drying room separate from your workshop which would be a lot healthier for you - spay dust will stay in the air for hours unless you have good airflow and would stop any cross contamination as in airborne dust from your sanding which also will stay in the air for hours

[@Madebyraphael]

Thank you very much for your great feedback Derek! Really appreciate it 😊I wish I have spray booth and bigger workshop 😊 unfortunately I have no free space for it 😭 Thanks once again 😊

Did you spray polyurethane on prior to finishing with the Danish Oil? It is so relaxing watching you work. You literally are what I strive to be like when working with furniture. I wish you'd post more videos so I can learn more from you.

[@Madebyraphael]

No I do not using polyurethane 😊 thank you for kind words 😊

[@Madebyraphael]

Thank you for your lovely feedback ☺️

[@colinhamilton9714]

Fantastic video and work, just four d your channel and I'm loving it. Can I ask how robust do you find the valspar paint. I have used it and find it chips fairly easily. Also what clear coat are you using? Keep up the great work.

[@Madebyraphael]

Thank you very much Colin! Valspar is ok. Not super perfect but ok😊😊👌 I'm always using water based satin varnish to cover any kind of paint 😊

[@lisabradshaw2605]

What are you spraying over the painted pieces?

[@suzanneanderson4631]

Hello from the US. I just found your channel & I am highly, but yet, fearfully impressed with your work!! You're very detailed, meticulous on every part from beginning to end. There's no cutting corners with you!! I'm just an admirer of this kind of work & you just add your fabulous touches - like artwork on a masterpiece; photography; spots, angles & close ups to the disciplined work in geo design. Makes me believe you're on your way to a successful & blessed future!! 😊 I just watched all five videos in a row & here are my thoughts & questions; • How do you decide on the paint/stain color & design within piece? Especially on the episode with the powder pink dresser. • A idea came to me while watching the herringbone technique vid, it would look fabulously cool to do a tufted-look. I think you'd be the man to successfully do it! • Not that I need to know but I would like to know, the different types of wood you find under the paint & stain. Could you put it in the description box? Thanks! Well, carry on with your masterpieces! Blessings!‼❤

Ciao bel lavoro che colori usi?

[@Djauntywanker]

Do you live in a cold climate ? Is that why you used a heat gun with the wax ? So it would thin out and sink in to the wood better?

[@Madebyraphael]

I used gun just for remove excess of wax and better shine 😉

[@brandistolte25]

Is this a solid wood piece or are you sanding the finish off of veneer? Beautifulwork

[@Madebyraphael]

90% of mid century pieces unfortunately aren't solid wood. Most people thinking they are, but not. Sanding just veneer😊

[@brandistolte25]

@@Madebyraphael would love to see a video where you remove and replace veneer on a piece. I have a nine drawer lane dresser designed by Paul Evens that I found on the side of the road and want to bring back to life pretty solid condition but the veneer on the top part can not be saved. Water damage to the particle board. Really struggling to find any good videos. Looking forward to your next piece.

New subscriber here and I noticed a bunch of people mentioning no music suggestion, I just mute it, but I do like the sound of the wood working in your last videos. I have to say though, all of the camera shots where it moves with your hand really makes me nauseous. I love your previous videos and the attention to detail that the videos show but this one seemed so flashy it took away from your work. Just a suggestion. That being said, you are an incredible artist. Your work is so amazing and I am just blown away by it every time! Nice job.
