Hello Reinventors!
Welcome to my channel where I repurpose junk into something useful, beautiful and fun for the home and the garden. My wheels spin when I find unique items that have been discarded and I love the challenge of "reinventing" a functional purpose for them! You will get to see the authentic creative process as I usually have no concrete plan before I begin. My videos have twists, turns and surprises! But hey, thats what makes them fun to watch (So I've been told)!!
The purpose of this channel is to share with other DIY'ers some of the shortcuts and hacks I have learned along the way and to create something beautiful for the home / garden with relatively no cost. My mission is to help others discover how to repurpose an item before relegating it to the trash. Art, Vintage, Garden, Wellness are my guiding lights.
Are you ready ?
Lets go Create!
You can see some of my finished works on Instagram @ Crooked Finger Farm and on FB @ CrookedFF

Major Junk Haul, Weekend Junkers Paradise!
I clicked on this to see how to weave and I’m 10 minutes in and still haven’t seen any 😂😂less chat ❤…edit I stayed and the chairs beautiful 😍
Was thinking this at under 3 minutes....lol. just skip to the action imo.
Thank you for the kind words :) yes still learning how to pare down to just the essentials. Thanks for watching
Have you done any repair/restoration on an enamel tabletop that expands? I have a vintage family piece that I need to repair - but don't know where to start
Hmm, only have worked on the solid surface one. I do know you can buy enamel repair kits at the hardware store. I have not used it as of yet but it looks pretty easy to use. Good luck!
How do you get water stains out of the seat?
If your talking about the fiber seat it just dries :) no stain
What an amazing transformation! And I really, really like your personality. You have your funny moments but are very relaxing to listen to. =)
Thank you so much!!
Carpenter syringe looks like a horse deworming tube to me 😅. I have a lovely old chest that has merely one piece of veneer only lightly warped. What you're tackling here is impressive to me! I would have never thought that piece fixable. Amazing! ❤
Audio SUCKS! Makes video unwatchable! Maybe just ditch the funky music all together. It just makes the whole thing very annoying. Thanks
Love it.
I can appreciate the amount of work and skill you put in to saving this piece and making it useful again. I would have preferred the more decorative drawer and a different colour myself but none the less you still did a great job.
Thanks 😊
I love the way you transformed this piece. Switching the top and bottom pieces and adding legs was genius and the colour choices worked beautifully. Thanks
Thanks! I still use this cabinet every day and the paint has held up beautifully! Definitely 👍🏻 on the products :)
Really lovely. Good idea to use the syringe to apply glue in tight spots. And I had to chuckle at the staple removal because I FEEL YA. This corner curio I’m revamping is just as aggravating in that way. Tomorrow, I plan to dig out an old flathead and bifurcate it with my angle grinder-make my own staple puller-because today was a headache!
Yeah sure someone trashed that...seriously
It was 100% found in the trash. My neighbor alerted me it was on the curb and my son and his friend brought it home while I was a work because the trash truck came. 🤷♀️
I may have missed it if you told us how long in length and how many bundles do you work with for a chair? Are bundles the way to go for ease of use? If so, what length do you make your bundles?
Hi there sorry it took so long to reply (working a lot these days) . So the bundles are personal preference. Make them as long as you can manage them. It’s a trial and error process, sometimes the longer they are more tangled they get when you’re pulling through. Mine usually end up roughly 10 feet. Hope. It turned out well :)
Just coming back to say..... IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!! THANK-YOU!!!!! ❤😊
Hi there! I cleaned my chair with water and dish detergent and it turned yellow after drying up! Any suggestions on how I can fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
came out nice but thank God for fastforwarding!
Thanks for the video. I actually had watched the two linked videos before finding yours. lol.
Thanks for your experience and resources and sharing your project and the process methods and materials you use to complete your out standing work. God-bless.
This a good example on who not to put loud music in your videos
Beautiful job!
Do you have any information regarding the manufacturer Table Rock Furniture Co?
a: GREAT work! b: your world is so much like mine, it was like watching myslef. c: I love how you LOVE the process. This inspires me. Happy New Year!!
Thank you! Happy new year !
Nearly half of the video talking! Then you blast through the process.
I had trouble watching this. Audio is all over the place. See if you can work on that and then repost and for sure I'll be viewing.
I found a nice heavy wood cabinet with some table top warping. This will come in handy!
Do you know how to find natural water rush for weaving a chair seat? (Like the first seat shown)
I have not attempted to find the natural rush for a project yet. Good luck!
Not sure if you’ve found something yet but I think they have some on amazon
Thank you sooo much, I found and old dresser my mothers had stored in the basement, she's passed and i wanted to restore it and use it but the one drawer has this kind of damage and had no clue how to fix it now i do thank you this dresser is at least 80 years old or more
I love older furniture. It came out beautiful and thank you for sharing.
You lost me at 9 minutes in
fantastic job!
Just bought four ladder-back chairs with paper fiber strung seats. They're old and look to be in good condition. Is painting the bottom, then top, with shellac make the seats more enduring? Enjoyed the demonstration - replacing the string!
Good idea! Never tried it but I don’t see why not 🤷♀️
Nice, but 10+ minutes of introduction is a LOT
To help prevent your scrap piece from sticking to the repair, you have some other options as well. 1. Use wax paper between the repair and your scrap clamping board. 2. Keep some scrap melamine for projects like this. The glue will not stick to the melamine, and you won't need the wax paper. Hope this helps.
Excellent job! Love the bottom to the top switcheroo!
Just what I was looking for!!!! Thank you!!!!
I got my supplies tonight, my glue, my clamps, my spray bottle, and some paint sticks. Going to give it a shot tomorrow.
You’ve got this! If paint sticks are too thick try toothpicks to push the glue down further. Good luck!
Gorgeous!! I have just the display cabinet after your inspiration .. it almost went to donation! Thank you...
The aluminum foil trick was amazing. Thank you!
just did this but I put wheels so the drawers could roll in & out. Trying to think of a way to creat a cover to protect items from dust. Any ideas?
Maybe upholster some canvas along the top back part of the drawer? Then you could roll it back and forth when needing to access the inside? Kinda like the divider in a suitcase? 🤷♀️ that’s probably what I would do :)
What did you boil the hardware in? X
A little dish soap about 1 tsp and a splash vinegar.
The rest just water
First time wth you, thank you for inspiration xxx ive subscribed
Nice, but ditch the music. Can't hear everything you say.
Me again ......... would you please provide a link for the same product, but a smaller spool? I only have the one stool and really not sure what I would do with the leftovers. THANK YOU!!
Fiber Rush 5/32 Kraft Brown www.amazon.com/dp/B01HK2PPMI?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I’d go with 2 though because sometimes with different lots the color changes and if you need more then 1 you might have mix match colors I learned the hard way 🥴
I am so excited ..... I have a stool identical to yours that needs a rushing redo. Would you please give the dimensions of the cardboard triangles and if you can buy the small wood triangle tool. I am tool challenged and do not have equipment to make my own wood tool. Because of you, I am going to try to do this. THANK YOU.
The triangle pieces are just random sizes cut from left over cardboard boxes. You use have to get to the point where you need to fill the gaps and cut to fit. The wood pieces that I use to adjust the rush are just made from left over scrap wood and a dowel that we sanded to a point. Not sure if these tools are available to purchase. Check out the silver river chair’s channel on UA-cam.. he’s the master ! Might find more info for “proper” tools. Good luck but more importantly have fun! You can do anything just have to try ☺️
Just thinking outside the box here but you could use a flat head screw driver the same way as that wood triangle.. just tap the handle with a small hammer 🤷♀️
Great, informative vids..... What is up with the music!?!? I'm here to LEARN but I find myself distracted adjusting the volume up and down trying to catch your talking while keeping the music toned down. Argh!!!
Hi 👋 yes the music in that one is terrible.. I was trying to learn myself how to edit and make these videos.Thanks for the input.
I’m going to redo a bench like yours. How much rush did you buy for the project? Maybe you said in video. I didn’t finish watching yet. Thanks!
Fiber Rush 5/32 Kraft Brown Large... www.amazon.com/dp/B07FCSFJ1L?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I got a big spool because it’s easier to pull from initially and I have enough for multiple chairs. Have fun!
*Promo SM* 😚
I subscribe!
You explained very well 👍
Love the piece❤. I have used Melange One paint on my console, nightstands, vanity all in black and I used the white on my little curio. I used their cabinet new paint and it’s been a year and it not only looks great, but it’s so durable. Can’t go wrong with Black.
I’ve got plants in this cabinet now and humidity is often around 70%. This paint is not affected at all! Still going strong. Excellent product.
That is stunning!
I’m going to offer constructive criticism so hopefully it will be received as such. Do not want to see anyone offering good information not do well. Maybe I’m just cranky and impatient today, but your intro slow and rambling, then when you did get going…That music. No. Just…why? Just demonstrate and explain in your own capable way and it’s fine. The music really detracted and was annoying. What is the deal with people playing music in a diy video? The only time it feels appropriate response there is a time-lapse kind of thing and sped-up action is accompanied by music but even then it’s not a bad thing to just let us focus quietly on the actions. OK I’m sorry that turned into a rant!
