This dresser was purchased from Facebook Marketplace. The main appeal that made me buy it was how high quality it was overall, aside from scratches and stains that needed some work to remove. The original legs looked very frail because of how thin and far apart they were, so I went with my go-to leg design and shortened the skirt to bring them in. The handles also weren't to my taste, but I wanted to honor their original shape in the new ones that I made, hence the resulting design.
I hope you enjoy this makeover :)

Your sense of humor really comes through and it's endearing. I have always enjoyed your content, but even more so lately now that your personality is showing.

[@OfficialSparklyPig]

Came for the furniture show, stayed for the gun show 10:19 but seriously amazing video as always, can't say how much awesomeness your work is!!

[@lowenb5930]

I was about to comment about the gun show! 😅

[@doblemaltita]

I was shy to say something but yes.

[@Nuriyya91]

LMAO

[@elscheib]

Gun show is right. 😏

[@COSMIC-P]

BLOWN AWAY. I would have never thought to use brown handles and let alone in such a gorgeous pattern. And "nookier nook" cracked me up. Just love every video you put out. You need a TV show!!!!

[@melissalorden5789]

Dude you are a seriously talented guy!!! I love watching your videos so much!!!! The care that you take when filming doesn’t go unnoticed!!! I admire your love of nature and it’s sounds and creatures and how you incorporate them into your vid’s!! The editing quality is ridiculous!!!! And I haven’t even gotten to the furniture yet!!!! These pieces that you recreate are one of a kind and simply stunning in my opinion!!! I hope your journey here on KZbin is just beginning because I plan on watching your channel for the long haul!!!! Bravo my friend!!!

[@ModernMakeovers]

❤️❤️❤️

[@lisalu7343]

I just found your videos and ditto to all of the above! In addition, I REALLY respect how much you repurpose materials and supplies!!

[@dao8805]

I just found this channel a couple days ago and have been binge watching. Really raising the bar for both furniture design and film editing. Amazing quality in both ball parks and fascinating to watch. Massive RESPECT. I suspect a very high IQ behind of this talent. Thank you for sharing with us, Andy. You're the goat.

[@joym944]

I died a little when you got out the black stain but that's just personal preference. And, of course, it came out so much better than I expected! You are a master at your art!

[@avantilicious]

What a fantastic piece of art you made and I'm not only talking about the furniture piece! The video needs an KZbin Oscar 😅

[@kayhenry6293]

Your attention to detail sure shows up in your finished product; that’s gorgeous. Your camera work and editing ain’t too shabby, either.

[@giftprincessgoden07]

Dude what!!!!! My favorite so far 😍😘😍😍😍

[@Laura_Brock]

Awesome videography , and the results are stunning. The sponsor information was cleverly inserted into the content. I enjoyed the episode immensely!

[@noblegas34]

Seeing that article from Deep River was mind blowing! Funny to see something so old from such a small town.

[@SquidgeTheSquid]

idk how i found these videos but i’m glad i did these are amazing

[@bubblegum_b]

I was not expecting this _phisique_ in the middle of the (already) fascinating experience that is watching your videos. Damn!

[@florarand]

Man you should put the final piece on the thumbnail, it's an art piece I love it. I've been binging your videos 3 days in a row, thank you for this delightful content!

[@lizcompton3048]

I can't put into words how brilliant this is. Your design skills have really improved over the years. But your creative genius lies in your editing skills. It's an absolute joy to watch these.

[@LV12800]

Stunning...you are a master furniture refinisher...a true artist. All your pieces are brilliant recreations. Thanks for sharing!

[@debsmith2269]

It was a sad little puppy to begin with but it's amazing now. Love the contrast of brown and black and the new handles are genius. Half the reason why I watch your channel is for your editing; it's magic👌.

[@lyndamadrid-miller695]

Simply beautiful transformation!!! 👏👏👏💪

[@Avalishna]

Stunning as always! Design, editing, everything lol @9:31 "nookier nooks" 😂

[@sammichbread]

that screw/nail storage rack is so smart!!! now i'm trying to think of a reason to build a million of them

[@re-inventedbymaria]

You are definitely the best!

[@AtigernamedMarco]

I'm not usually a fan of black furniture, but this looks awesome! I love the handles design and color

[@hollaceparadis6591]

Serious specialty tools and a great sense of design and color: the staggered horizontal bars.

[@rockshot100]

I had my doubts about the walnut pulls against the ebony, very much. This is dark but in the scandi-japandi style, very contemporary and unique. Most are afraid of thinning stain or modifying the color, and I haven't seen anybody else use black stain yet. WOW. Inspired and daring work as always. Thanks.

[@BaronessJames]

I really like what you did. It looks very nice and modern. Or with other words it is up to my taste.

[@ShellyCline]

This is the 4th video of yours I'm watching and I'm definitely hooked (I'm kinda binge-watching lol). But I just had to pause the video to come and comment to say how much I loved that you stopped to appreciate the beautiful katydid 😍

[@ModernMakeovers]

😁❤️❤️

[@DavidAndersen84]

The economy of your aesthetics is your greatest gift. The drawer pulls are that small change that makes it interesting. As always, you inspire me.

[@cromakey]

You deserve ten times the subscribers you have. Maybe more than that. Bravo!

[@saschakrefta4793]

You did a fantastic job! Love the black stain and the handles😍

[@Julesrincon]

your great taste for refinishing and making things look better than the original 💋👌

[@Rillbur]

True bliss is when you release a new video. You are so talented. Beautiful work!

[@Thirikalee]

GOO! - - -> GOO GONE! 😂😂😂 That made me laugh out loud, very nice transition!

[@sandman3384]

Oh my golly sir, you never cease to amaze me. Amazing!!!!!

[@brayleighhope4246]

"Nookier Nooks" haha love it. Thank you so much for these works of art! ♥

[@ravengateley7677]

[@Danman1972]

Its the Micheal Jordan of staining gloves. Nice work on the peice. Love the salvage of older materials and I might have to steal your cabinet idea for scrap wood! I have a lot.

[@k1m625]

[@terrymcneil7247]

You create true works of art, both the instructional videos and the furniture! I am awed at your collection.

[@janetseager4069]

Wow, indeed. You are really gifted

[@shirleypedersen7406]

WOW OH WOW! That looks amazing. Well done. Love your work totally! You are soooo GOOD! Your videos are awesome as well. I can’t imagine what you’ll be creating 20 years from now. You have the experience of a 65 year old craftsman under your belt already.

[@dajw7540]

You gave it a Brutalist vibe. I wasn't expecting that. Very masculine. Very much a piece of art.

[@brig1332]

Wow great way of repurposing a set of drawers 😀 Loving the funky handles too great idea to add a little something different.

I was just watching random videos then I found yours, I subscribed easy. Your way of doing things is good, skilled hands, not wasting materials like that screw, and presentation is creative, Of course, the finish product is best.
