You just got a fantastic shout out from Midwest Magic Cleaning! Another of my favorite KZbinrs. He’s hilarious and also one of the most generous people to ever walk this earth. Give him a shoutout back. Watch out for Moose😂

[@tamis9112]

I know I was watching and then he said this guy who does wood working on "Flipping Drwers" I screamed and said OMGosh I watch Jay and Mando! Been watching even before he got his beautiful cat, he just had the neighborhood cats coming over. I so love watching and listening to Jay he's so calm and soothing. I Had found "Flipping Drawers" long before I found Mack at "Midwest Magic Cleaning" Another one I just found, she may not be for everyone, but she is "Vivian Tries", she does the Dollar Tree dupes to Brand stores and sees if they are better or worse.

Mando and Hugo play fighting is so cute. ❤

I LOVE the kitties "fighting"!! All the really good ones do that -- it's so adorable!

[@LaundryFaerie]

You can always tell play fighting from the real thing -- no vocalizations or hair standing on end, ears forward, deliberate engagement in the "fight" by both cats. Yeah, they're having fun.

[@SonCh-tt7hv]

Eu adoro, nada como um móvel em madeira tratada na sua cor original. Pessoas estragam móveis pintando-os das mais diversas cores em nome de uma tal de decoração... Triste costume.

[@freedomofreligion3248]

It's just a style. I'm old enough to recall when EVERYONE paid reverent homage to "real wood". Wood is beautiful, in some iterations, but, it's not sacred or anything. Yet, I remember, in the early 70's "real wood" was a wonder. I think because there was so much concrete, steel, and plastic in the 60's. The Beatles' did a song named, "Norwegian Wood". One of my favorites -- I adored that album. Album: RUBBER SOUL

[@sandyjuntunen4088]

A lot more of us hate painted wood!😊

[@ivanj.conway9919]

Yes, funny how they want it on the floor but can't stand having it anywhere else.

[@shirleyannconfer9651]

I laughed so hard when Mando knocked that thing into the drawer! He’s not much help, but he’s an adorable supervisor. I have a slight weakness for art deco pieces. The carved detail on the doors of this piece is interesting. Chocolate and coffee are ALWAYS a good mix! The gold wax and hardware is just beautiful. I swear I could see that wood breathe a big sigh of relief after the restoration, because it looked smothered under all of that paint.

[@Lenpat]

This is my favourite of your restorations, I love Art Deco and you really brought the piece back to life!

[@Baphomet-J.-Moon-Fetus]

Hammock cameo at 18:47 ... Y'know, if ever you want a week off, a 20 minute video of Mando being a little tinker would be just fine. 🤣

[@TerryInUSA]

By restoring this almost 100 years old piece of furniture and enabling people to know something about the past and how skilled people have been, you are making the world a better place. Thank you for all your hard work. It's just beautiful.

[@Flippingdrawers]

Wow, thank you! ☺️

[@LyndaReilly]

ME TOO. Breathless.

[@barbaraking6980]

I'm in my 70's now, but I remember these sideboards well. My Mother had one similar, it also had a drawer with divisions in it for cutlery. The green baize lining would have been to protect the wood and to stop the cutlery getting scratched . She kept a bottle of sherry in the cupboard underneath, which was only brought out for Christmas or funeral wakes !!!! 😶..... It was a solid piece of furniture . Well done for bringing back this beautiful piece of furniture.

[@pamallen2498]

I'm 75, and I remember when good furniture looked like this. You are a wonder.

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thank you 🤩 I love Art deco

[@mollylundquist9145]

Oh, no! It's the oldies bloc, here. I'm 75, too. But hey, this ugly buffet turned into a stunning piece; it was hard to believe how anyone could pull off such a transformation. Oh, and the humor? ---priceless, especially the orbital sanding section. Thanks for such a wonderful video. All of them.

[@driverat8s]

I have a pencil and pad. When a kitty shows up I write the time stamp down. Then I can show my wife all the kitty parts, she loves them. Mondo is absolutely beautiful. I love watching your show. Thank You.

I got a huge chuckle when you said you woke up with the rope and it was just Mondo. He was trying to tell you that he was going to hold you hostage until you gave him some cat treats! The buffet came out fantastic. You work so hard on these projects. We love you forever too Jay! 😊❤😂😸😻

[@kimberlyporter9555]

The reenactment of sanding the back board was comedy gold. 😂😂😂😂 I felt that!! Also, i own a lot of books. They make perfect weight if you need to press things down for a bit. Lol

[@hazmania]

Just in case you don’t know, the green “fabric” is baize, used for cutlery drawers (& billiard table tops)! It’s usually wool or cotton, with a felt like finish. It helps stop cutlery (especially silver & silver plated cutlery) from becoming scratched & tarnished. (On billiard tables it helps the balls roll really smoothly). Love watching your videos, turning old & unloved pieces into beautiful & desirable ones. Best wishes from Annie, in Cornwall.🙂🌸

[@joannekaiser1380]

Also used for soundproofing, separating the servants downstairs, from upstairs.

[@trudyeby464]

I have read, but not done myself, that a heat gun can soften the adhesive on that green hell.

[@laineymcd4074]

@@trudyeby464 I have seen someone use a heat gun to fairly easily remove baize, but that baize was still reasonably thick. How well it would work on the thin disintegrating baize I don't know.

Now that the numerous layers of paint are gone and the wood can show its natural beauty, the entire piece can finally breathe again. You gave it new life.

I hope you plan to keep this one. I let nothing go any longer because I've come to understand that people don't get the time and energy that goes into a craft. I crocheted a bedspread one time and gave it to a friend. After letting the dog turn and dig and claw the middle of the bed, she brought it back to me and asked if I could fix it. You have a glorious result and no one will ever appreciate what you did to create it. That's hurtful. Hang on to it.

[@katepoole6891]

If I make something for anyone, I never want to see it or find out how they've used it for the reason you've said. I've made things for a charity craft stall before, and they treat it like a second-hand sale.
