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.
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.
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!
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! 😊❤
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!
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.
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!
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.
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 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 😀
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. ♥️♥️🥰🥰👍👍🌟🌟🐈⬛
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.
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.
Brilliant transformation!! Those drawers you built look like they have always been part of the table!!! Very well done, sir!! Greetings from Virginia, USA
The fact that the beat-up top made drawers is super. The thin white glue was the right choice with tight dove tails! The handles were a great choice! And we have all been there about wrong sizes! I look at the trip as a needed work break! Hi Mondo, nice to see you! And I love that smile!
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
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!
FAF Happy sitting on a table! Dude you enjoyed this one, it showed! That's the best kind of work, work that doesn't feel like work. Grateful for you! Please give Mondo scritches for me please. Happy Holidays, Much love 🧡🦋
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 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 think you made the right decision on making a new top . You are a professional and know what you are doing .I love that you have all the wonderful tools .That helps a lot when restoring old furniture . Great job as always !!!! Prayers 🙏 and Love 🤟 From Ginger PS it was nice to see Mondo again I love cat's.
That was awesome. You knocked this restoration out of the park. As I was watching the video, I thought that there could have been an amazing drinking game made out of it. A shot for every time you say "I am a professional" or "I am fancy AF!" Or even a bingo game with squares like "uses a new power tool" or "mentions his cat!" Bravo Jay, bravo.
Jay, You hit this one to the moon!!! I 'll say this is one of my top favorites of your restorations!!! I love the old rustic look and the design of the grain on the top. Finishing with the wax and those dovetails....you are so entertaining, I get your wit and humor. You must have been such a fun Nurse. I would have felt attended well knowing you were doing your absolute best in your services. Along with making your patients feel happy in spite of their situation.
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.

Dude, you’re a PROFESSIONAL! If you say the top needs to be replaced, we believe you. ❤
The chewing gum is in mint condition 😂

Ha ha my pleasure 😇
You have given this old abused beauty an entirely new life. Your amazing at what you do.
That’s very kind. Thanks 🤩
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.
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.
Really? I've seen it on other vlogs was well
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.
Yes Sir, You are a Professional !!! I love watching you take these pieces and work your magic !!❤
Thank you 🤩

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 🤗
Mando , I have missed you ! Tell your employee he did good on the table !
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🇦🇺

Awesome job on the table. You are truly a professional.
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.
WOW! What a special project. You challenged yourself and came through shining. The table is now so proud and yet still vintage. Hearty congrats.
He is our own professional!!Work your magic my dear 😂
Merry Christmas from the USA.
You made this table beautiful. Congratulations
I really loved watching you create the drawers from parts of the top. It turned out really, really good. ❤
Once again you saved a piece of furniture destined for the land fill into a beautiful and useful table. Gorgeous!
Thank you very much!
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.
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.
Amazing work. Love it. Beautiful as always.
I love that you used the good parts of the table top to make the drawers. It all turned out great.
If I could, I’d have this table in my home. It’s gorgeous.
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 love how this came out! Great work to make it beautiful while preserving its history.
Yay 🥳 that’s what I tried to do.
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!☺️
Wow! Truly amazing ❤
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.
I really loved the fact that you managed to save every bit of the original wood you could.
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
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 🤩

Fantastic.....!!!!!!!👏👏👏
Thank you! Cheers!
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.
I love how you fix the chunks of wood out of each piece. Brilliant!
Wow, once again you've outdone yourself. Beautiful finish to this table.❤❤
Your humor is top notch!!! You are a professional.....because professionals admit when they make a mistake.
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.
Mando is such a beautiful cat. His coat pattern is gorgeous and his green eyes are stunning
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!
Me encanta lo qué haces ,tu profesionalismo no tiene límites realmente te admiro ,adoro tus videos ❤❤❤❤❤y a tus mascotas ❤❤❤❤w
Thank you very much ☺️
Fabulous project and video! My favorite moment was the visibly self delighted "wow, it fits".
😂😂😂😂 thank you ☺️
Very nice dove tails. The table is fantastic. Beautiful!.
Helllloooooooo GORGEOUS!!!! 🎉
...didn't expect that at all.
Yay 🥳

So enjoyed this renovation - think this is my favorite video so far. Love the turned legs and the drawers from scratch. Mando was missed.
It's beautiful.
Very beautiful.
Done so well, so perfect. I would be proud to have this table in my home.
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.
Brilliant transformation!! Those drawers you built look like they have always been part of the table!!! Very well done, sir!!
Greetings from Virginia, USA

Beautiful restoration.
Lovely job. You really are adding to your carpentry skills and new equipment… you will need a bigger workshop to use them all 😉😉
Fantastic. Large project, but your talent brought back the past to help save history.

Excellent, as always. Well done
