On that video, many people commented asking about the fate of the middle drawer. It's been sitting in my garage collecting dust for a few months, and I finally got around to making use of it.

[@gardenlover9663]

From whom did you learn your woodworking (and more) skills?

[@Laura_Brock]

Thank you for rescuing this lonely drawer and giving it a purpose in life. This is another beautiful piece of furniture and a well done video!

[@CrisSii2]

It's been said many times but I must say it again: your video style, your editing, it's impeccable! That's what differentiates you from other restoration channels. Congratulations!

[@VioletJoy]

Exactly what I always think.

[@jill552]

I love that 90% of your wood stock is recycled. Very cute little side table and amazing pull.

[@hopeymik]

Everything about your videos is satisfying. The craftsmanship, the camera work, the sounds, the captioning, the editing. You put so much love and hard work into every aspect and it’s amazing. Every video has my full attention and admiration.

[@FrogeniusW.G.]

Yes, exactly. He seems to be so over-average talented..

[@nino2121]

Young man is a Master Craftsman & Film Maker. Fantastic. That handle was pure genius!

[@PorcelainxMe]

And also making little ladybug friend!

[@lornacy]

Agreed 👍

[@matildanorberg]

Your storytelling is exquisite and I love all your “having fun with filming and editing” stuff. It makes me smile every time. The night stand turned out gorgeous as well.

[@Hannakin_Skywalker]

I don’t know what I love more-your craftsmanship or the way you create and edit your videos. While watching I’m always amazed by how much attention you put into detail, not only on the piece you’re working with but how you film the process. Your cinematography style sets you apart and it’s why you’re my favorite restoration channel :)

[@Senecana]

I'm always impressed by how much your care for the pieces you handle and the craftsmanship you use for them shows through. In these tough times, many people are forced to work to make things fast and easy and cut corners even if they'd prefer not to... so it's incredibly healing to get to watch someone who puts a lot of thought and effort into every little detail of each step. It's a very tender process to watch. Thank you so much for sharing your love of furniture refurbishing with the rest of us.

[@graceverissimo6332]

Kind to insects, phenomenal cinematography and editing, brilliant craftsmanship, recycles and looks like you have give great hugs. I'm sold

[@marierprice]

I rarely comment on videos - but I love your channel. Your videos are artistic, clever, therapeutic, and inspiring all at once

[@dancer14280]

I love it. Side note, who else puts MM's videos on fullscreen like a movie?

[@lynnjasen9727]

I put all videos of master craft and tradespeople on full screen. Don’t want to miss any details. This channel for sure, also AT Restoration, which is a different category of restoration, but similar talent applied to a different era. 🇨🇦💕

[@cathydaly3436]

I love viewing on my TV. But it’s easier to look away and miss something. But that is why I have rewind. 😎

[@kazul24]

The Franken-Nightstand lives! And she is beautiful 💜 I love that this is made out of scraps from other projects. And all the differing wood shades look so good together!

[@shyeahright]

I really wish I could buy some of the beautiful things you make…or that I had even half your talent! 💕

[@arianakoz]

Your videos are absolutely magnificent. The gestures, the sounds, I can't look away! They are so relaxing. Your work is excellent.

[@sistersarann3819]

Such a sweet little table :) You are like a sculptor when you design your handles :) Enjoyed it very much, thank you :)

[@pammclennan1642]

What a lovely table you made. I thought you were leaving it in the park to see who would pick it up and take the treasure home. Love your sense of humour as always and look forward to your videos.

[@jodidavis6595]

Saving furniture one piece at a time. Beautiful. So glad I found this channel. I get excited when I see/hear the bell that you’ve posted. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼🇺🇸

[@MultiCrackerjacker]

Absolutely stunning! That would look nice in an entryway or office. Either way, beautiful work Andy. No snow yet? We’ve already got 40cm in Penetanguishene 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@ModernMakeovers]

It actually snowed immediately after this video, you'll see it in my next video 😂

[@MultiCrackerjacker]

@@ModernMakeovers ah. Good to know we aren’t just the lucky ones up here😜. Pfft. And another 25cm due Sunday. Awesome 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@schoensangalli6972]

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it when someone reuses, repurposes, rescues the scraps most ppl toss! Another satisfied viewer enamored with your artistic talents, SO MANY to list.

[@kyokisaru]

I'm torn because I like the editing tricks but I come for the ASMR of the sounds of the process. I wish more channels had videos without voice overs.

[@kyokisaru]

Ad voiceovers can be ok tho. Your voice is comfortable.

[@rhondasummer]

How wonderful, that sad lonely drawer has a new beautiful home.

[@007gillrogers]

It’s lovely. I think a really interesting dove tail join would have looked neat on the sides, but the clean lines are wicked.

[@Timhey0912]

You are so talented! That is beautiful! I hope you feel the satisfaction of making something out of almost nothing. You are quite the wood worker!

[@stjabnful]

You never cease to amaze me! Your work is just outstanding! Well done!!

[@ohusky271]

i've never seen so much love in a comments section for an inanimate object

[@denvernow7294]

The way you used your foot to apply that teak oil was impressive.

[@barbaraanderson6366]

And another amazing transformation which was so mesmerising that I forgot to drink my coffee! Your work results in a lot of cold coffee drinking for me😂. ❤

[@mrststreasures9628]

Wow Andy you are truly a master at furniture art! These are true works of art from what others would just throw onto the burn pile!

[@wadihrizk]

the best maker/DIYer/restorer/editor over the internet.

[@charlafox5701]

The jokes through the videos get me each time. They’re all so perfectly executed and not over the top. I love this channel

[@lauriefrazierbrown7783]

I’m addicted to watching you refinish these pieces. I find it so interesting and your video editing is 🤌🏼

[@coloredcaboosecreations]

Wow your lonely drawer creation is stunning! So impressed how you didn’t purchase anything new for this. I did a video last year using that same drawer to make a coffee table with recycled parts too. It’s awesome to see how starting with the same drawer two perspectives ended up with totally different outcomes!

[@sapognikserg]

Всегда получаю удовольствие от Вашей работы и роликов.Вам здоровья и успеха...

[@girlnorthof60]

NEW 2 U, I'm just working my way through your vlogs... WOW. 👍 I wish my deceased 91yr old cabinetmaker Dad was here to watch you in action. He'd be mightily impressed... as am I. He salvaged 2 old pianos for the lovely timber, ebony & ivory as cool escutcheon plates/inlay, neat hardware etc.

[@tina-xp3pk]

Finally, a home for lonely socks, im so happy for all of them.god bless you drawer

[@sarahjoyce5041]

Love this. You took a bunch of things alot of people would have thrown out and gave it new life. Well done. It's beautiful.

[@anniewardlow9297]

Hi Andy... I've got to tell you that I am so very impressed with the quality of work you do! I'm not sure how old you are (& I'm sure that I've told you before) that the attention to detail is what I look for in a true "Craftsman". Keep turning out great content like you do & I'm pretty sure that you will continue to grow your channel! Good luck & be safe, happy & healthy! 👍 PS: You haven't turned out a finished product that I wouldn't be more than happy to display in my home, thanks!

[@mattymoi]

The soothing creation of a gorgeous Mid Century Modern piece. Fantastic. I love your artistic re-purposing of timber.

[@gurubhaikhalsa9337]

You would never know this was anything but a table. Gorgeous.

[@sophiachristo7546]

Such an inspired and well executed furniture work! You are amazing! Thanks so much for sharing

[@almahdiaalem5479]

A like even before i see your job!.

[@bellatr1xdh]

Effortless beauty. You're so clever and talented

[@Ale-qk8wt]

Thank you for not talking or adding a ridiculous amount of text. this is truly a peaceful watch

[@kyloh8706]

i love this little guy! especially like the dark and light wood contrast. this one would make a great addition to a reading nook/corner i think, next to an armchair, with a plant and light on top.

[@alisonwebster6694]

Another excellent and beautifully constructed video. You made a very pleasing table from an obsolete drawer. It would be be good ,in the future, to have more such inventive designs. Best wishes Alison

[@annmccue4431]

Your talent is beyond words! I absolutely admire every piece of furniture from every video! 😊

[@myraholmes1178]

What a beautiful piece made from something so simple. That's what you do

[@patsyshafchuk5368]

I love your eye for design and color! I just saw an old drawer. I thought you were going to use it to store something in your workshop space. But you worked some magic and made it into a unique work of wood art. Your videos are mesmerizing!

[@debsmith2269]

Wonderful use of remnant pieces of timber; it turned out so well. My favourite part is the handle. Also, your editing is as entertaining as always. (I hope your sanding finger eventually cooled down🙃)

[@g.d.anonymous8235]

Beautiful job. You are so creative! Never would I have thought of this.

[@nanny8675309]

Sorry I haven’t been watching because KZbin was not alerting me🤔🙄😣and a different type of video was taking my attention but I am so happy to see that others have discovered your amazing editing skills, restoration and from scratch furniture building. Happy to see you’re getting sponsors and hopefully the stupid KZbin algorithm will correct itself and you will be pushed out there because you are the best KZbinr out there😁 thank you for another amazing video😊

[@ModernMakeovers]

I appreciate your support 😁🙏🏻❤️

[@trinitywright7122]

!!! ❤ I love how you use the tongue oil and I love that you left the woods the varied shades. I love the handle. Love the legs. This is just a beautiful piece of craftsmanship my friend from leftover stuff No one would ever guess that. I also love the One touch sanding😂 You are very funny. Your furniture makers are my favorite on all of KZbin

[@lucydurham1403]

That turned out so well. It's beautiful and practical, just lovely!

[@cindychristian1700]

All that beauty from one lonely little drawer!

[@VioletJoy]

I had no idea what you were going to make and once again, I'm super impressed. So creative. What a cool little table. Your editing style is a pleasure all to itself. 🤍

[@suemedeiros]

Wonderful! The piece came out perfect, as always. Love the way you make the handles. Everyone already said so, but I will, too: your videos are a joy to watch.

[@LV12800]

I just love this refurbished drawer! So excellent in every way. Such a pleasurable viewing experience...Can't say enough good things about your channel and work...just the best! ❤

[@FrogeniusW.G.]

Love that you re-use old wood scraps! ☆ ..And your wood work and editing (incl. humour!) is incredible anyway.. And I *love* that you kept the beautiful honey-golden woodcolour!! ♡ Can I purchase your pieces? I love this one so much! It's perfect! ☆

[@janetevans2711]

Yours are the only vids i watch without fast forwarding. I'd love to hang around in your workshop for a day .Awesome 😀

[@MissLady-pq4hc]

I could watch you create all day. Wow.💙

[@jenwylie4093]

What a stunning little piece! Thanks for saving this from the landfills and giving it purpose again. 🙂

[@lem4100]

Great transformation from an old junkie drawer to a really nice table.

[@sadknee]

The finger tap transistion is so good holy cow

[@Flecha57]

I have seen the video several times. I am simply mesmerized by your design. A dust collector drawer has been brought back to life. You have really taken yours skills to the next level. Wow! I think I have mentioned this in a previous video. Your DIY handles are so beautiful! They deserve their own videos! Like so many others, I also have to comment about your video editing. The sounds, the colors, the ladybug... It is simply a pleasure to watch. Nicely done. 👏👏👏

[@caitygart]

Wonderful, another Modern Makeovers video, what a treat! Your craftsmanship is wonderful to watch, and the video is masterfully edited aswell. I like to leave your videos on to watch before falling asleep, they are very relaxing.

[@rockshot100]

Very entertaining as well. The small nail or brad was the one thing that made me LOL.

[@erikamarie5535]

Wow that's so cool you found a way to use a single drawer!

[@jerrycomo2736]

Very impressed because I made about four of these projects from scraps, except without the legs. Drawers about 3 to 4 inches deep for under computer printers, under desk lamp, under K-Cup Coffee Maker, etc. It's an item that is necessary, useable in design, attractive. (The 3 tenants of Shaker Design). The drawer pull is perfect in scale. I have seen other furniture makes make absolutely beautiful pieces, but the drawer pulls are, in my opinion, too small.

[@sandrinedurand3203]

Thank you for taking the forgotten and bringing them to the light.

[@otaldokaiolopes]

Your editing is so pleasant and every single one of your videos is satisfying and enjoyable to watch

[@kimberlypaloma5499]

Wow....that is really nice! That'll look nice in a either bachelor's bedroom or a little boys room. Love it!

[@emmavik-fredriksson640]

Loved this project! Absolutely gorgeous with the beautiful lines and different woods. The handle was just perfection😁. 🙌. Love that you upcycle so much🙌

[@jokk130994]

Amazing 🤩 unfortunate that you don’t have a second drawer to make a pair

[@lindadamon2453]

This would make a great minimalist hall table in a small dwelling. So good Andy.😊

[@accordionbabe]

Your honor of woods is masterful. So beautiful.

[@YTFlove4ever]

Can you show how you deep clean furniture in detail ? That would SUPER AWESOME to watch and soooo satisfying

[@melissalorden5789]

WOW!!!! An absolute work of art!!! You my friend have many amazing talents!! Your videos never cease to amaze me! I often wondered about the playing children!! It actually makes your videos even more relaxing to me. It reminds me of summer time listening to all the kids playing at the park. It’s quite nostalgic to me. You live in a beautiful area!! Your yard and home are quite beautiful. This table is gorgeous and will look good anywhere. The mid-century modern legs were a perfect addition. Kudos to yet another amazing piece of furniture and a perfectly edited video.

[@paulaheuser5200]

Excellent as usual. Thank you.

[@lizday8140]

I'm a fan of KZbinrs Dashner Design and Restoration, as well as AT Restoration, and my KZbin suggestions sure got your channel right today! I subscribed. I adore that piece and the new life you have given the old drawer! 🥰

[@not_this_]

I feel compelled to add to the very well deserved praise. Well done! A stunning piece and an exceptionally well presented video!

[@Luttimendez]

Well done man!! Good job!! 👏👏👏👏

[@fasteddy07]

You are not just an expert craftsman, you are a talented artist. Bravo!

[@rs.p]

My fav piece yet. Your tongue & teak humor is spot on.

[@katieriegelman1868]

Aaw that’s a happy drawer now! Very kind of you.

[@anniel3305]

You are such a clever young man! that is a lovely little table, has a wonderful look to it, the handle you made was perfect. You are so talented! I love that you recycle and repurpose so much of what you use, it is admirable. I so enjoy watching your videos, thank you!

[@carmenhernandezperez9824]

Perfecta la transformación y genial tu sentido del humor 😉

[@buddhababeoz]

I just love everything you do. Such a simple piece yet it stands out in its purity of design.

[@austint19]

So sick! I want one like this just for my room. Simple and elegant. Bravo on the handle too.

[@lilithanne5506]

*sigh* That is just fantastic. Seeing talented people like you creating beauty gives me hope for the world. 🐞

[@karenalefounder4083]

I never seen anyone do this before, what a fantastic idea. Recycling is the way to go well done.

[@shaunbrady5703]

That nightstand or end table is fricken awesome

[@marielowndes3442]

I think you should make a tutorial about organizing your workshop. Your work area is incredible. I would hire you in a heartbeat to get me organized.

[@chrigunrestauration]

special survey. beautifully processed. Great. 👍 Greetings from Oberberg from Germany

[@AutomailUser]

Like always, you did a magnificent job.

[@hickorygolddoc]

What a sweet piece! Love the wonderful pull you made it so fits the drawer beautifully. You gave that drawer an awesome home!

[@rzpotts4]

Absolutely amazing job. A beautiful piece of art.

[@wgale6397]

Less is more - and as always, you nailed it. Love everything you do! Best regards from Alberta!

[@MoniqueSmulders]

Bravo! Thanks for rescuing the drawer and the ladybird 😉

[@rustypplskillz]

This is so inspiring. I'm thinking of getting into furniture restoration myself, and I love love love what you did for this lonely drawer!

[@erinmach638]

I was so happy when I saw you posted! Love the curve of this piece, great job! :)
