[@VampyRagDoll]

Sod the critics. You saved a lovely piece of furniture and did a great job.

[@hansdegroot8549]

I could not have said that better.

[@Robs01]

agreed. I don't know why people have to criticise when someone such Keith is repairing previous craftsmanship

[@RowanBlaqk]

I'm so happy that you restored this beautiful cabinet! It hurts me to think of this piece smashed up in a landfill somewhere. You gave it a new life and it looks wonderful!

[@TheStan80]

Practice is never a waste. Useable item. You are the boss it ends up the way you want it not others.

[@thewoodworkguy1189]

A few facts, you gave an old piece a new life. You enjoyed what you did. You got practice in and you taught us. I’d see that it was a valuable exercise. Thanks as always Keith!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thank you!

[@rykhaviland3591]

I have watched every single video you've done. In my not-so-humble opinion, you haven't wasted your time on anything. You have entertained and educated thousands of your followers and you seem to have a really good time doing it. I call that time well spent.

[@xw6968]

Waste of time????. How about the fun doing it and getting a result you like..strange people. You did a great job.👍🏻

[@prettybird367]

It’s gorgeous! Space or no, I would’ve kept it 😂 I can’t believe something so beautiful and with such great character is considered unfashionable, I love that you took the time to fix it up! 💕

[@SouthpawDavey]

Great job. you saved it from the fire. No one will be doing that to ikea stuff in 50 years.

[@daos3300]

they already are. certain 60s and 70s ikea pieces are classics.

[@JRBalch-ty7qf]

I love this. I wish I had your woodworking skills. Thank you for taking the time to rescue rather than discard usable pieces of furniture.

[@MarkMcCluney]

Yeah, what's with the criticism anyway? Nice job of reviving something that would have been landfill. good job mate and enjoyable vid.

[@havenview]

"Cut half the shelf and use the offcut as a template for the other half" - really clever idea Keith

[@susieray9267]

I loved it, no matter what other people think , and I would love to own a piece like that , I actually have never seen a piece like that,, thanks for making it beautiful again ❤

[@David-ew9rg]

Great job of saving a really nice piece from the dump. Screw the critics and their negative opinions. What matters is your love for making something useful again.

[@milkmanzwife]

I appreciate that you are saving decent quality furniture.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

thanks!

[@ricjamil3073]

Just watch part 1 and 2. You did an amazing job!

[@theburris]

Restoring furniture is never a waste of time! Forget the naysayers and keep on doing what you’re doing! Every city needs someone like you to revive beautiful furniture. Cheers.

[@KarlwinsFive]

I'm glad you decided to save and restore this cabinet, it's gorgeous!

[@fjklfdasdf]

this is not restoration

[@redavalaite4645]

Fantastic cabinet! Enjoyed your tips how to fix similar piece of furniture. They don’t make pieces like that no more. Thanks bunch.

[@melanieolson7139]

Love this, and all of your videos! I wish more people were in to rehabbing beautiful old furniture, instead of trashing it.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

+Melanie Olson thank you!

[@ianvicedomini2648]

At the end of the day Keith, you’ve deemed the unit as reusable no matter how. I think a majority of criticism boils down to the fact that it may not be how they would’ve done the job. As far as I’m concerned, you did a great job on it and for something that could’ve ended up thrown away, you gave it another chance. Great video mate 👍🏼👍🏼

[@maker-restorer]

mate every piece of furniture you do is a learning experience, believe me as I've been at this for over ten years and love it . you do what you can and you learn on the way good job keep at it 👍

[@ronstark1927]

Some people are just ignorant to the world of refurbishing furniture. I think you did a great job balancing looks and materials. Good job keep it up mate. Cheers

[@odeon1161]

Beautiful job Mr. I found a similar one on a tip.. Fortunately it was in really nice order but needed new shelves.. I used glass...and it has been in use in my house for some years. This stuff is only fashionable with those of us who do not want shoddy disposable furniture. That cabinet will now outlive you instead of going to landfill. Good work..greetings from Lowestoft

[@jphoffman1]

Really nice save on that cabinet! Isn't it gratifying to make something old usefull again? Ignor those armchair critics for they are vexations to the soul. Wow! I really came up with that! :)

[@THINGS.I.DO.007]

Beautiful cabinet! I would have bought it and used it to display my antique cameras in it.

[@VCGConstruction]

Nice Video!!!

[@iamlonefrog4252]

those "critics" are your competition bro, you gottem worried. as always, great job all around, from video to the woodworking. you make fridays extra special, thanks

[@lilMissAdoria]

This cabinet is gorgeous, a true gem. So glad it got a second chance at life, and man, I wish I could have something so beautiful for my home.

[@NitroMaxOriginal]

Ignore any critics, keep up the good work.

[@Earhairy]

An absolutely fantastic video. You saved a beautiful item of furniture, and had guts in admitting to an error that will be a lesson to others who wish to carry out this type of work. Thank you.

[@steemdup]

I cannot believe this cabinet was left for trash :( It's so lovely

[@thewoodworker1703]

Brilliant project and result, well done.

[@daz.j]

looks cool when its finished

[@PhilMakesThings]

If you get enjoyment out of doing it, it's not a waste of time, and you're not restoring it for a customer who wants something done in a very specific way, but how you want to do it and achieve your own end result.... I imagine a good proportion of those comments come from people who've never restored anything, so don't worry about them. That's the internet... critics everywhere. Really nice job. 👍

[@bbreeuwer4577]

Piece of advice to get rid of veneer quickly. Use an iron on it. After heating up, you can just peel it off :) Btw, I don't get the criticism, just let people do whatever they wanna do. There is no right or wrong.

[@DaddyBear3000]

B Breeuwer I’ll definitely be trying this in the future.

[@carolanneconnolly-brown6781]

Great tip thanks

[@alasdairmackenzie515]

Critics? Fuck 'em. You're doing great. Keep up the good work.

[@Cboundyful]

I like the pineapple shorts!

[@kaebella2259]

Wow! That piece is stunning! Your work is so detailed and meticulous! I loved watching the whole proccess. Just beautiful!

[@barstad-9591]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@FritsvanDoorn]

I really liked to see how repairing of furniture goes. Thank you for showing.

[@vinnm4516]

That piece is absolutely gorgeous!

[@alansimpson596]

Nice work and I love old furniture.

[@melissahislop5716]

Fascinating. Love watching your videos.

[@WheresMyPencilUK]

Nice restoration Keith. As others have said ignore the KZbin restoration police those who offer "advise" never have their own videos. I've never made a veneer and was interested to see you do it with the table saw as I don't think my bandsaw is up to it in terms of accuracy as I need a thicker blade; will give this a try.

[@daos3300]

what, is producing youtube videos a prerequisite for leaving comments on other youtube videos? who knew.

[@gryffindork9563]

It’s so beautiful I love it!

[@artdelossantos1512]

never mind the critics buddy there always there to annoyed you but as long as you love your work just keep it commin i love it...And to da brewer he is giving a tips or an idea not criticism, PEACE EVERYBODY..

[@jeanniealford4234]

Love it. I'm impressed with your work.

[@cherryturbojames]

I've watched a lot of your videos and always find my self enjoying them I learnt today that I can make edge banding on the table saw .

[@Emily-xh1pg]

This looks great finished!

[@matthewh7529]

Got to love restoration videos! so satisfying.

[@harrynewell912]

Great result!

[@clintspies5260]

Amazing job

[@hebierob]

Love your philosophy of woodworking!

[@hdwoodshop]

Keith, nice job, mate! I actually scrolled down the comments looking for nitwit critics but I found none. Glad the consensus was support for you. You upcycled with good work. Glad you had a buyer. A reward for your efforts. Cheers 🍻.

[@marymack4105]

It's beautiful!

[@emporium8350]

Excellent work and excellent video. Well done you. Absolutely worth watching. I have certainly learned some great tips. Thank you.

[@vero5745]

You did a really great job ! Thanks for sharing.

[@annw1395]

What a gorgeous cabinet, and you did such a wonderful job on it! I wish I could have bought it myself!

[@garlicbad]

[@deskelly9313]

Very nice. I've now got my eye out for a suitable piece of furniture to tidy up

[@peterpanassow7814]

Ur skills r incredible! Well done. 👍

[@perjohanaxell9862]

Nice work, I think you hit a good balance point between time spent and a good result. It was interesting to see how you solved the curve on the leg. I didn't think of that sulution.

[@ICanCraftThat1]

super impressive

[@kimpierre7977]

I love it!! I would love to have this!!gorgeous!!

[@michaelevans1658]

Good job Keith.

[@sandman2651]

[@lilolmecj]

You did such a nice job, it is really beautiful.

[@athmostafa2462]

wow, I admire your restoration . I like to challenge my self fixing something . Well done mate 👍😊

[@susanphend2189]

Just found you and your channel. This is an absolutely beautiful piece and I'm glad that you chose to spend the time on it. You're clearly a very talented person! Also, please forget those people who criticized your approach to this piece and other similar pieces. It's truly a lovely and unique.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thank you!

[@ceciliajacobs5346]

A beautiful piece of furniture. Does not matter what methods you used to fix it, you saved it from the landfill.

[@gabrieldai88]

Great job as always.

[@DaddyBear3000]

Good work, these pieces are awesome and NEED the extra support.

[@joanneandrea7298]

You are a wizard. Absolutely amazing!

[@Stuart36]

Well said!

[@kiroshon]

Bravissimo!!!!

[@benyork3895]

It came out great mate, well done!

[@casst346]

wow! great job!

[@More-Space-In-Ear]

You’ll never have 100% of people liking what you done to a salvaged piece, just make sure that your happy with it.... I think you’ve done a great job with what you had, it’s easy to fall into restoration but you need an opened wallet.... Looking forward to the next video, well done Kieth 👍🏼😊

[@suecox2308]

Beautiful job--another life for a beautiful piece.

[@gordd7348]

Great job.

[@jamesarroyo5054]

I am in the US, but would totally have purchased this from you.

[@user-oy4gf6ck5u]

You really did a good job !!!!!!

[@wolfgollnitz899]

Well done!

[@nachojones1]

Its beautiful Good work Loved the video

[@markharris5771]

Very nice indeed, it would be nice if they came back in fashion. I’m the generation that was brought up with our parents display cabinets.

[@patrickryan353]

Definitely a new lease of life

[@enriquemireles8947]

That was a great redo I just can’t believe it had all the glass. Enjoyed and subscribed.

[@gandjboyd7872]

Awesome refurbished project

[@glennmasson8253]

Wow that was great - wish I could have bought it from you!

[@Bean56_]

Love this!

[@monmonassaad1192]

Great job👍

[@Khvost_]

Such a beautiful peace! Very lucky buyer!

[@No-wd1co]

you did a great job...

[@felixhoffmannv.meinigen7776]

I freaking love it!

[@dianagaribay4797]

Saying this is a waste of time is so further from the truth! I think is fantastic!

[@John.117]

I just discovered your channel and am really impressed with your work. I love to restore furniture in this fashion - which is to say I DO worry about how it looks, but I don't worry about every piece is original. I believe you called it "sympathetic" restoration. Function/strength is critical to me. If you can stand in front of it and it looks good as well, then it is a job well done in my opinion. Your shaping of new pieces to the old on the "wings" of the leg... I have done that by hand and it is a real challenge. It was enjoyable to me, to see how you did it with tools/saws, etc. Really top notch work. Thanks so much for sharing. I wasn't going to comment - but after hearing you at the end of the part 2 video, talking about critical types of comments you receive on a job like this - it was almost like criticizing the work I do as well. So, in that light, it seemed proper to respond :-) I believe a UK expression is "crack on"? That seems appropriate here. Job well done Sir. Crack on.
