As a woodworker myself, I see this as the most beautiful and impressive project that you’ve done! You honored the life and story of this broken old beauty and gave it dignity. I enjoyed watching you set up to make the dovetails. Something that I haven’t tackled yet. You showed us once again that you truly are a professional! Thanks for sharing this massive project.
You are such a joy to watch and listen too. You make me laugh. You’re such a Professional and Fancy AF. Yeah, and Bob’s Your Uncle! The world needs more people like you.
It is wonderful that you paid homage to the history of this beautifully restored table by leaving those imperfections. The hardware you chose perfectly complements the style of the table. I love it and your humor.
You are the only restorer that cleans very well before doing the repairs. That’s partly why you are my favourite restorer. I also love your sense of humour.
I'm so impressed by how your skills have progressed since I began watching you years ago. This was quite the undertaking, but I think most would be hard pressed to say that top isn't original. Great work on the drawers. You demystified that dovetailing process! Have the best holiday available to you.
I really loved the fact that you managed to save every bit of the original wood you could.

Please, do not stop your videos, they are part of my weekly spiritual and psychological support, after reading, watching and listening the news. Thank you for your great patience and care 😁.
1. Those dovetails were Fancy A-F! 🎉 2. The amount of work you put into this piece paid off. It's gorgeous! 3. Every single time that woman sings, "Surprise! Surprise!" I giggle. Ty for that!
In my opinion, this was the most amazing project you've ever done since I've followed you! The drawers were utter perfection, and I love that you kept it original. I would put this table in my house, I loved it that much!
Oh my goodness Jay, this table was a doozy from start to finish! Look at how beautiful it is now! The drawer pulls are perfect as well as the color! I believe I'd have to keep this one 😊! You did a fabulous job cause you're a professional! Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! 😊❤
Seeing this table's legs reminds me of all the 1930-40s kitchen tables that got shortened for coffee tables back in the '70s. Fortunately my little beat up table made it intact.
It was fun to see you get so excited when you learned how to dovetail. It was like watching one of your early episodes before you got fancy and had a workshop.
My dad was a woodworker and made me a pine table for my breakfast nook many years ago. The scribbles and doodles from the years of my kid's use have made it a cherished possession. Your work is always fabulous, but this one was really special.
You brought its earth and beauty back. A farmhouse table is a centrepiece, a place to gather for food, talk, good times and bad. It needed to keep those scars and your additions fit right on in. A beautiful job, yet again❤
I personally think you made the right call in not attempting to fix the top and you made good use of the top making the drawers because you are a professional and never let wood go to waste. Loved the result and the handles were perfect 😀
Brilliant ..simply brilliant....a long and fascinating journey from that alleyway back in the day to a truly professional setup, an expressive outlook and a superb level of competence. Congratulations!
Wow, what a transformation. Not only are you fancy AF, your skills as a woodworker and a professional have come on phenomenonally. It's a pleasure to watch your progression.
I told you it’d be beautiful n it definitely is. You did amazing work on it. It’s a good thing you’re a professional 😁. Actually I think you are. I think back to when you first started with very few tools n look at you now “you’re a professional!” I just love this table. It reminds me of n looks like an old farm table. I wish you weren’t in the UK cuz I would love to buy it. Been wanting a table like that for a long long time. Jay, you did magnificent work on it n it shows. Well done my friend, well done. ♥️♥️🥰🥰👍👍🌟🌟🐈⬛
My father could build anything. He was a watch maker and built his own watch repair benchs and other cabinets. We lived on Guam for 5 yrs from 1955 to 1960. Furniture was expensive so he built all of our chest of drawers and our dining room table out of Philippine mahogany. I was his helper so watching your videos brings back a lot of good memories. Keep them coming. I enjoy as I'm sure the rest of your viewers your sense if humor.
I really enjoy watching you give old, forgotten pieces a new beautiful life ! Going the extra mile to make sure your project has a “professional “ finish is very important. Thank you!
Jay, you are finishing off 2024 with a true flourish! This project was massive, you treated the old dowager with respect and created a thing of beauty! Bravo!
The result of all your work is just perfectly outstanding. I love how you respected the original carpenter and the story of the tables' past. A total joy to watch and see the journey from almost destroyed to a beautiful, functional table. Thank you so much.
Amazing job ..it looks beautiful. I love The rustic look. I have learned so much from you. I have been restoring furniture for about 6 years, and I love learning tips and skills from other people. I have been following you for a long time, You certainly have come such a long way since your first videos. I look back at myself 6 years ago and I'm amazed at how much my skills have changed also. Thank you for the great videos, I look forward to them. but why wouldn't I? 😉 After all you are a professional! LOL and also fancy AF
I can't believe you took on such a project! You not only used all your tools, but all your skills. The dovetails on the drawers you should be immensely proud of. Yep, now you are a Professional. A fancy one at that. Standing ovation on the beautiful work. And I love Mando's electric green eyes!!!
I watch several channels of woodworkers, restorers, and builders. You have become my favorite of them all, with your buddy from AT Restoration coming in a close 2nd. Please show us how you use the dove tail piece of equipment!!! You have inspired me to sign up for a woodworking course next year. I'm so excited. We are planning our new home, and I want to build my kitchen table and a library table, maybe even a sofa table. Watching you has given me the motivation to give it a try. Thank you so much. And please don't fret over the length of your videos. The more detail you can show us is so beneficial!!
Surprise Surprise!!!!!! I was a bit disappointed by the missing brass touch, but there it was at the end, thank you! Another beautiful job. My husband has done dove tailed drawers and he told me that they are a pain and not to get any ideas. lol So glad that the life of the table was able to be saved. Furniture with a story to be told beats new any day.
I just wanted to share that I have been watching your videos for about a year and a half, and I absolutely love them. You are so gifted and skilled, and your videos never bore me. I also love your kitty cat buddies. Thank you so much for sharing your efforts with us.
Brilliant transformation!! Those drawers you built look like they have always been part of the table!!! Very well done, sir!! Greetings from Virginia, USA
It's a wonderful restoration. You kept the character but gave it a new life. You reused the old table top and made the perfect table top. Awesome job Jay!
Figuring out a dovetail jig is an accomplishment, making the first dovetails on it that actually look good is exciting. Making 50 display cases that were ordered from my once up on a time shop, I loathed dovetails.. :) You know you sell yourself short, every video, which by the way is professionally done, interesting and the sound recording is always spot on, anyway in every video you say I may have bitten off more than I can chew, my dear sir, after watching most of your channels offerings I find that there would be few projects that challenged you to the breaking, I am quitting this project point. You are just a very good, competent woodworker.
You took a ratty table that looked like it was ready to be firewood and you made it spectaular! Im happy you used off cuts to do repairs and keep the almost primative look of it.❤❤❤
I LOVED watching you complete this project. You definitely rose to the occasion and the final result is gorgeous! I want to add that i enjoy your longer videos. I --ahem, sounds weird, but-- often fall asleep to them because they're so fun, relaxed, and comforting to watch. Thank you so much for the work you do. Every time you post a new video, my heart jumps a little with excitement.
Absolutely beautiful! I personally revamped, while keeping the patina, a library desk ( 1930s?). My dilemma was to keep the overall look opaque, not shiny, after the work/repairs were done. I managed semi opaque finish, and still found it warm and faithful to the piece. My desk is about the same color as your table. Long story short, your table color is very warm and welcoming; however, perhaps a little shiny for my personal taste. England may be different in the "cultural wood world" and tastes differ, I guess. Altogether, absolutely perfect repairs because, of course, you are a professional! Well done.
I’ve lost count of the number of projects you’ve completed that made me wish you were local to me because I’d snatch them up immediately (I’ve got a big old house I’m trying to furnish). Another fantastic piece done by an absolute professional! ❤
Wow this project was fantastic. I think it is one of my favorites. The table turned out so very beautiful. I hope you take this as a compliment as I got a George Nakashima vibe off the look of the finish. Whoever eventually owns this beauty has a treasure for generations. I would love to see a dove tail video.
Beautiful job! I really enjoy your videos. My son is a cabinet, furniture maker. He loves to see wood grain instead of covering it up with paint. Love what you did with the drawers and new top!
Thanks!
Wow 😮 don’t know what to say. That’s very generous. Thank you so much 🥰
Dude, you’re a PROFESSIONAL! If you say the top needs to be replaced, we believe you. ❤
The chewing gum is in mint condition 😂
@@mikecoulson9709 Yeah!!!😆😆
@@mikecoulson9709 yeah, that one got me too, I just love his sense of humour 😂😂
@@mikecoulson9709 spotted 😄
Thank you 🤩
I hope you know, there’s tons of us that would happily sit through a hot long repair video
I agree. He said a 35 min video was long and I’m like..I’d watch an hour for sure
Totally agree. This could have been a two hour video and I would be here for it!
I’d need to edit it though 😂😂😂😂
I would be honor ed to sit and observe your work
@@Flippingdrawers I can understand you're not wanting to edit a two hour video but we would watch it. Just so you know.
As a woodworker myself, I see this as the most beautiful and impressive project that you’ve done! You honored the life and story of this broken old beauty and gave it dignity.

Oh wow, that’s very kind 🙂 thank you 🙏
@@Flippingdrawers He’s only speaking the truth. ♥️🥰👍
So well said!
You are such a joy to watch and listen too. You make me laugh. You’re such a Professional and Fancy AF. Yeah, and Bob’s Your Uncle! The world needs more people like you.
Ha ha my pleasure 😇
Yes we do!!!!😂😂😂
You smile when you say 'I'm a professional' but you ARE a professional. Mando is a beautiful cat! As usual, great work on the table.
Thank you 🤩 I’m getting there 😂
@@Flippingdrawers You are already there, bonny lad. Already there. Wonderful workmanship.
I agree that he IS a professional. Even his suPURRvisor approves 😻
You have given this old abused beauty an entirely new life. Your amazing at what you do.
That’s very kind. Thanks 🤩
It is wonderful that you paid homage to the history of this beautifully restored table by leaving those imperfections. The hardware you chose perfectly complements the style of the table. I love it and your humor.
Glad you enjoyed it!🥰

Great work on the drawers. You demystified that dovetailing process! Have the best holiday available to you.
So kind 🤩 I appreciate your kind words 🧡
Again, you never cease to amaze!!! Just no words.....Anyone would love to have this in their home.
Agree!
Thank you kindly 🤗
Yes Sir, You are a Professional !!! I love watching you take these pieces and work your magic !!❤
Thank you 🤩
Mando , I have missed you ! Tell your employee he did good on the table !
I really loved the fact that you managed to save every bit of the original wood you could.
Please, do not stop your videos, they are part of my weekly spiritual and psychological support, after reading, watching and listening the news. Thank you for your great patience and care 😁.
That’s great you find them uplifting 😊 thank you and not planning to stop.
1. Those dovetails were Fancy A-F! 🎉
2. The amount of work you put into this piece paid off. It's gorgeous!
3. Every single time that woman sings, "Surprise! Surprise!" I giggle. Ty for that!
Someone just told me she’s annoying 😂 glad you disagree 😂. Thank you 🤩
I agree with you @Mellie_H! 'Surprise' lady is hilarious!! 😂😂😂
That singing woman is Cilla Black, who was (is) a UK National treasure! She's wonderful! (Oh, and so's the table.)
@leewood729 Thank you for sharing this! I'm from the US & didn't know of her.
Well done Jay, such a big project, ❤ from Australia🇦🇺
In my opinion, this was the most amazing project you've ever done since I've followed you! The drawers were utter perfection, and I love that you kept it original. I would put this table in my house, I loved it that much!

WOW! What a special project. You challenged yourself and came through shining. The table is now so proud and yet still vintage. Hearty congrats.
It was fun to see you get so excited when you learned how to dovetail. It was like watching one of your early episodes before you got fancy and had a workshop.
Merry Christmas from the USA.

Oh wow! That’s very kind. 🧡
Mando is such a beautiful cat. His coat pattern is gorgeous and his green eyes are stunning
Thank you ☺️
Today was the first time I saw Mando's eyes. My jaw hit the floor. I have never seen a cat this gorgeous. 🥰😍🤩
@ he is a handsome boy 😻
I love that you used the good parts of the table top to make the drawers. It all turned out great.
You brought its earth and beauty back. A farmhouse table is a centrepiece, a place to gather for food, talk, good times and bad. It needed to keep those scars and your additions fit right on in. A beautiful job, yet again❤
Much appreciated 🥰🎄
Awesome job on the table. You are truly a professional.
I personally think you made the right call in not attempting to fix the top and you made good use of the top making the drawers because you are a professional and never let wood go to waste.
Loved the result and the handles were perfect 😀
Thank you 🤩 it was a cool project and a learning experience
I ditto that! Good job, it’s a lovely table once again.
I really loved watching you create the drawers from parts of the top. It turned out really, really good. ❤
This is really great, it's so good to see you expanding your skillset! Now you're not just flipping furniture, your crafting it!
Oh thank you!☺️
You made this table beautiful. Congratulations
I have my grandmother's table, in pieces, and without a top. I wish it could be restored as beautifully as you did this one. Thanks for sharing!
Very nice dove tails. The table is fantastic. Beautiful!.
This is magnificent work, you should be very proud. That table can be in use for another 100 years at least! I love how it looks.
Once again you saved a piece of furniture destined for the land fill into a beautiful and useful table. Gorgeous!
Thank you very much!
Amazing work. Love it. Beautiful as always.
Absolutely beautiful!❤
Fabulous project and video! My favorite moment was the visibly self delighted "wow, it fits".
😂😂😂😂 thank you ☺️
I love how you fix the chunks of wood out of each piece. Brilliant!
Your humor is top notch!!! You are a professional.....because professionals admit when they make a mistake.
If I could, I’d have this table in my home. It’s gorgeous.
Brilliant ..simply brilliant....a long and fascinating journey from that alleyway back in the day to a truly professional setup, an expressive outlook and a superb level of competence. Congratulations!
Fantastic. Large project, but your talent brought back the past to help save history.

I love how you reused the top for new drawers. What a beautiful table that turned out to be. Longer videos are fantastic.
Wow! Truly amazing ❤
I love how this came out! Great work to make it beautiful while preserving its history.
Yay 🥳 that’s what I tried to do.
Love watching and listening to your videos in the evenings they are so relaxing and this video is no exception ❤
Wonderful rebuild!
Glad you like them! Thank you 🤩
Done so well, so perfect. I would be proud to have this table in my home.
Beautiful restoration.
I love watching professionals!!! It makes me feel so normal..... The table looks great. And it was fun to see all the tools you used.
As always. Beautiful job❤

I really enjoyed this video as usual but this was extra special.
Beautiful job sir.
Glad you enjoyed it!☺️
This turned out really lovely. Bravo for using the salvageable parts of the top for the drawers. It will be a very nice, sturdy table for someone.
Fantastic.....!!!!!!!👏👏👏
Thank you! Cheers!
Jay, you are finishing off 2024 with a true flourish! This project was massive, you treated the old dowager with respect and created a thing of beauty! Bravo!
Fabulous.
You did a wonderful job. The table turned out beautiful. I'm so happy you were able to repurpose the top into drawers. What a great idea.
Wow!!! That was an amazing job!! I don’t think many would have tried what you did. Beautiful final results!!!
The result of all your work is just perfectly outstanding. I love how you respected the original carpenter and the story of the tables' past. A total joy to watch and see the journey from almost destroyed to a beautiful, functional table. Thank you so much.

Ha ha ha thank you 🤩
Your fancy dovetailing contraption saved you a lot of time compared to the chisel and saw method, great job, glad you kept the age & wear.
I watch several channels of woodworkers, restorers, and builders. You have become my favorite of them all, with your buddy from AT Restoration coming in a close 2nd.

I love this table. Beautifully restored and it has all that storage with the 4 drawers. The doodles on the side add to the charm and history.
Glad you enjoyed 🤩
This is my favorite of your restorations. I love everything about it and all the choices you made. Mando is more beautiful than ever.
Awesome 🤩 glad you like it
Excellent job keeping the history of this table showing. I love that.
Thank you 🤩
You are a Professional Master Craftsman no doubt about that! This table looks fabulous and you retained its dignity. Superb!

Thank you very much ☺️
Beautiful restoration as always, I bet that old table could tell some stories, how wonderful that you have given it another lease of life
Thank you very much!
The best of both worlds. Rustic and Renew. Isn’t it beautiful that the table provided the means to heal itself (with the help of the Professional”)
That's a real "professional" job you did there!!! Looks great!
Thank you very much!
It's a wonderful restoration. You kept the character but gave it a new life. You reused the old table top and made the perfect table top. Awesome job Jay!

Love this table and all it’s imperfections. You did a fantastic job keeping its character while making it usable again.
Beautiful table, I think this is your best restauration so far. ❤
Professional AF. Top marks Jay!
Ha ha I am a professional 💁🏻♂️😂
You took a ratty table that looked like it was ready to be firewood and you made it spectaular! Im happy you used off cuts to do repairs and keep the almost primative look of it.❤❤❤
I LOVED watching you complete this project. You definitely rose to the occasion and the final result is gorgeous! I want to add that i enjoy your longer videos. I --ahem, sounds weird, but-- often fall asleep to them because they're so fun, relaxed, and comforting to watch.

Absolutely beautiful! I personally revamped, while keeping the patina, a library desk ( 1930s?). My dilemma was to keep the overall look opaque, not shiny, after the work/repairs were done. I managed semi opaque finish, and still found it warm and faithful to the piece. My desk is about the same color as your table. Long story short, your table color is very warm and welcoming; however, perhaps a little shiny for my personal taste. England may be different in the "cultural wood world" and tastes differ, I guess. Altogether, absolutely perfect repairs because, of course, you are a professional! Well done.
Those builders boards came out well as the top and you colour matched everything perfect. Great drawers and the handles are just right. 🏆
This is probably my favourite of your project. I love that you managed to stay true to the original and keep so much of the character. It’s beautiful!
I’ve lost count of the number of projects you’ve completed that made me wish you were local to me because I’d snatch them up immediately (I’ve got a big old house I’m trying to furnish). Another fantastic piece done by an absolute professional! ❤
Ha ha thank you 🤩
Wow! You worked your magic on this table. It looks beautiful!
Thank you so much!
Wow this project was fantastic. I think it is one of my favorites. The table turned out so very beautiful. I hope you take this as a compliment as I got a George Nakashima vibe off the look of the finish. Whoever eventually owns this beauty has a treasure for generations. I would love to see a dove tail video.
Thank you 🤩
It looks really nice! You did a great job in restoring this table. It looked impossible at first. But you did it!
Thank you 🤩
Beautiful job! I really enjoy your videos. My son is a cabinet, furniture maker. He loves to see wood grain instead of covering it up with paint. Love what you did with the drawers and new top!
Thanks ☺️ glad you enjoyed it
Really enjoyed this video. Learned lots!!! Lovely job on the table.
Wow! What a transformation! I can hardly believe it’s the same table. It looks great!!
Thank you ☺️
This video was so enjoyable. What a stunning restoration! I'm in love with how you used the table top to construct the drawers
