Restoring A Chest Of Drawers - Junk Find Makeover

[@weerawat2526]

Awesome book that gives you step-by-step photos kzbin.infoUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt and directions to make every day project. I can see myself making a few of these projects and giving them as housewarming and holiday gifts!

[@martinarice2555]

My word what a fab job. Would never have believed they would turn out so good. Well done.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

+Martina Rice thanks!

[@thewoodworkguy1189]

Amazing what people will throw away. One's junk, an other's treasure!!

[@showandgo]

People may write different comments, but i think you picked a trash and turn that into a treasure. Thanks for sharing your hard work.

[@Kelli_D.]

Agreed

[@healthnut3433]

You have such fast hands! :) That dresser is sooooo happy that you found it.

[@Ddrhl]

I don't even know where to begin. You turned complete cr@p into a beautiful, functional piece of furniture. You showed the entire process. I learned so much about quality details, veneer, removing stains, patching...I don't know how this came recommended to me, but I'm incredibly glad I saw it. I have some furniture that I'm now going to take a second look at! Thank you for posting!

[@keymae6714]

Great saver of this beautiful dresser !👍 I love wood too !

[@sannefridolin]

Great job!there is something very satisfying about resurrecting old and neglected wooden furniture

[@aspiecubist4826]

I agree he did a good job. When I find old stuff like this, I just smash it up and burn it. But it shows what can be done if you are clever. I'm on the spectrum though and I enjoy busting the crap out of shit.

[@dianakidd5688]

I am a lover of old things & have rescued many a “throw away” people discarded, and restored them into glorious pieces again. It’s wonderful to see others doing the same.

[@cathynuytten798]

This is the kind of work my Dad loved to do. Taking something that others see as junk and turn it in to a masterpiece! You are indeed miracle worker! Great job!

[@1959Berre]

Greasy stains can be removed by putting chalk powder on top, cover that with a sheet of brown wrapping paper. Heat it with an iron. The grease will melt and the chalk and paper will absorbe it. The last bits of greasy stuff can be removed with mineral spirits and a rag.

[@thomasini]

Damn thats a crazy cool tip! Thanks!

[@america6545]

Great tip.

[@jessie3206]

Tnx man great tip😉

[@jc2385]

1959Berre would baby powder work as well?

[@just-dl]

Very nice! I like that you let some of its history (ie, damage) shine through. You didn’t hide all the stains. More authentic in my book. More lovable.

[@doedoe49]

News paper works really well ,for removing water spots . Nice job ,looks great .

[@capicuaaa]

You did a fantastic job; the chest looks beautiful and how good to know all that wood didn't end up in landfill.

[@kathyl5610]

Hard work and elbow grease, what a thing of beauty!

[@petitionsign6515]

Such a handsome chest of drawers! Well done.

[@carlagarrett3244]

Just re-oiled all my old finds, and they really do look like real gems.

[@Kujobu]

Surprised by the dislikes. You rescued something from the landfill and turned it into a big, bright, shining star. You are the Burt Reynolds of furniture. New subscriber here.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thank you!

[@faymiller5392]

I have a dresser that has some water marks I'm going to try this technique. Thanks very much for this video. You did a great job restoring this piece. It is so nice to see people fixing and repairing what someone else threw away.

[@Nemie125]

What a beautiful job! So nice that you saved it and gave it a new lease of life. It looked very sad indeed and not many would have seen the potential in it. Lovely :)

[@sophiacampos9333]

What is trash for other for you are treasures. You are very gifted Thank you for sharing I enjoy. Is beautiful. 👍😁

[@ke.gardner7156]

Turned out perfect. Those drawer pulls really set it off.

[@TexPR1]

Very nice job! It great that you were able to restore it and save it from the landfill.

[@2fortsmostwanted]

So much dedication put into this old particleboard dresser... Well, at least the result looks pretty!

[@robertschumann9059]

It is deeply satisfying to Watch this. And it gives me a new look on all that scrap furniture that is Standing in the street

[@TheStan80]

I love some stains adds character to the finish making it look like its telling a story over its past

[@manipumaster]

I like this because he didn't harsh chemicals. KISS (keep it simple sam) The ironing to removing the stains ingenious. I can't wait to try this on my own chest of drawers. Will send a comment to the the finished work. Thanks Rag 'n' Bone Brown.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

thank you!

[@monicas2269]

This is much nicer that slapping a load of chalk paint on it and then distressing it.

[@sapphirecamui6447]

SO many [mostly women] use the chalk paint on the old furniture. but i bet it's because they don't really know how to restore wood. or they want to do it fast. :/ it's nice to see some folks restore furniture to look like new, like back when it was made.

[@strange144]

While I agree, I'd much rather people do the chalk thing than tossing and rebuying things all the time.

[@califdad4]

@@sapphirecamui6447 I have a old drop leaf desk that my parents bought in the later 1940's, its ok piece of furniture, it got beat up while my older brothers had it in the bedroom, but Mom had the inside redone , but not the outside. I was thinking of chalk paint and doing it in black, since it sits in a white hall way

[@toddlavigne6441]

distressing to me looks stupid much of the time, depends on the overall decore of a room. what a nice piece of furniture

[@NeonAtary777]

I agree. although they look nice but still real wood is much better.

[@pamalapeterson5352]

I love treasures from trash! I give books a second life and love it! You do such thorough work!

[@danielbornhoeft7803]

wow! that turned out amazing

[@gregdykes8832]

Excellent find and top job on the upcycle.

[@colinaskey9777]

Hi Keith,I have watched this vidio a good few time's now but I am not sure if I have made a comment,well like me in my younger day's you are a salvage of people's throw aways,and you have a good eye for see ingredients the usefulness of discarded stuff,what you did was a first rate job of giving the chest of drawers a new lease of life,not trying to return it to a like new condition,which was not necessary,and the finished article looks just right,and nd it will give you lot's of storage for hardly any cost,just a little bit of your time,definatley gets my thumbs up,always looking forward to your next project,take care and stay healthy and happy

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thanks Colin!

[@felixreali7101]

great result. the amount of patience you have is astonishing

[@donnellmartin1056]

WOW, you just made some art. I admire folks who have the talent to do this. My Grandfather, and one of my Uncles, have this talent, and its amazing to watch.

[@bonniemoerdyk9809]

You gave restored beauty to this Mid-Century Modern chest. Job well done!!

[@JohnColgan.]

Lovely restoration

[@KeyserSoseRulz]

Well done. You see value and potential beyond first impressions. Good skill to have..

[@littlericho4963]

Enjoyed your resto very much . Thanks.

[@blackfender100]

Nice Job saved from the landfill.I love it.

[@barbhayes5613]

Before watching this I would ever have attempted refinishing a veneered piece (It would have been sanding, priming, paint & done.) I am amazed how wonderful this finish looks. Good on you!

[@10code4]

What a fabulous job you did on this dresser, it turned out beautifully! I love how detailed you are in your instruction and I've learned so much from you in this video. Thanks so much for posting it, I'll be a new subscriber!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

+Jane Doe thank you very much

[@LazyDaisyDay88]

Glad you kept it as one set of drawers - looks really good. SO nice to see furniture recycled rather than dumped.

[@doughadley1929]

Wow! What a restoration!

[@shereemorgan1430]

Love the wood not being stained. Beautiful!

[@TreyStegall]

You did a great job. That's a very nice piece of furniture.

[@colinaskey9777]

Hi Keith just watched your chest of drawers find and restoration,its a very good vidio,especialy for young people who do not have much money and are just starting out in married life,it very good to see what you achieved with hardly any tools,and the chest of drawers turned out really well,and they are a really useful piece of furniture,once again good show.

[@AGM-ts5bb]

Very nice! Beautiful piece!

[@AndrewMcQuillen]

Looks a great job Keith

[@shelleythornton7520]

It looks great .What a nice find in the trash. Its crazy to use such nice wood then us particle board on the top.

[@sandragutierrez3667]

It looks awesome!

[@jackjax532]

You rescued that dresser my friend and gave it a First Aid Kit. Great job.

[@nrjentertainmentsmobiledj2759]

Good job. Save the planet one bit at a time.

[@jaaferturkmanuglo2536]

Such an amazing thing to do.🌺

[@tonyalways7174]

I’m just about to renovate an old bureau so I checked this to look for some tips: great and cheers for that. Made me smile when I saw your old Erbauer (?) drill and you were still pushing a pen: you’ve come a long way with your Hikoki toolkit, kitted-out workshop and a full-time maker now. Well done mate: good on ya

[@sooth15]

This is a really nice piece of furniture. I'm glad you were able to save it!

[@aanon5716]

what a labor of love. it looks lovely.

[@ellisc.foleyjr9778]

Hence the old adage "One man's trash, is another man's Treasure" and you just showed that to be true well done. and thanks for sharing that with us.

[@colinaskey9777]

Hola Keith,just watched the old chest of drawers refurbishment,and knowing that you are not a professional furniture restoration expert,you did an excellent job,and let's face it,they are a decent set of drawers,well done..

[@colinaskey9777]

I have viewed this project a fewer time's now and it aways relaxes me,very nicely made-to-measure vidio

[@janestewart3231]

Nicely done, and nicely shown. Thanks. I had never heard of a cabinet scraper before and now I want to get one. What a great tool! I used the iron trick years ago to remove white water rings from plants kept on a drop leaf table I inherited from my grandmother. Presto!

[@SherrylLyn57]

Thank you for not painting over the finish but restoring the veneer finish. Looks beautiful!!:

[@nicoleshupe2313]

I love it when someone can restore a beautiful piece of furniture. And doing it without paint.

[@KellyEUTAH]

I do love videos with cute kitty cameos.

[@jazziered142]

That turned out really nice, you did a good job.

[@MedianMagic]

There is a certain kind of satisfaction in restoring an old piece of furniture and giving it a new lease of life. Great job!

[@mrsseasea]

This was great and really well explained. Just starting out on restorations. Very helpful. Thank you.

[@tirpitz19]

For me it was a very valuable video,i learned a lot from it.Good job.You gave me the courage to do it myself.

[@classic287]

You did a great job. Well worth the time you spent. I don't believe I've ever seen stains removed with a flat iron before....

[@DENIEL381]

TALENTED DUDE GREAT JOB .....CHEERS.

[@redrufus444]

Outstanding.,Well done....

[@joshuarosen6242]

I love boiled linseed oil. It brings out the grain beautifully when you first apply it and I am fond of the smell as well.

[@skatersirian]

That ironing technique was amazing!

[@doddnejadfard3251]

Wonderful job

[@celiajarvis3168]

Beautiful work

[@dirkdiggler6940]

I know how to patch an antique dresser of mine thanks to your video showing a sawdust and wood glue mixture! Thank you so much!

[@angies3057]

Woow better then new great job.

[@entropomorphic]

You should have just used a shirt to protect the wood from the iron. Then, two chores done at once!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

+entropomorphic I like that idea!

[@rubymimosa]

But then he wouldn’t be able to credibly claim ignorance when asking if his partner can please do his ironing ps: j/k. I’d do my hubby’s ironing for a week if he did something like this!

[@MyGreenNest]

Lol

[@dlou3264]

Your NEW cabinet looks great!

[@suecox2308]

I'm watching this for the second time--great job.

[@Khvost_]

Very inspiring!
