Really nice job on that, Keith. The "after" is like a new piece. I think the new handles was the right move. They look great, and I think match the style well.
It's great to see you NOT chalk painting, I love wood, very enjoyable and informative video, because of watching your tutorials I had the confidence to refinish the tops of my bedside tables and they look like new, no watermarks or scratches now,finished with a few coats of danish oil = well fed wood 😊 thanks for sharing
I can't stop watching your videos!! I'm obsessed with your furniture restoration videos as I want to restore a beautility cocktail cabinet, once I find one i like!!
You brought it back to life. When you said new handles I wasn't sure, the old one match the time it's from. But the new ones are perfect. You do great work.
The new handles are a significant improvement. They are actually quite a complicated shape but they suit the item of furniture really well. Nice work !!!
Since I've been watching your channel Keith I've really got into the look of mid century furniture. I'd have it all over my house definitely if I could. Top video mate as always, Karl 😊
Bet it’s going to look amazing when it’s finished! Keep it original if I don’t like it whoever buys it can replace the handles P.S thank you so much thanks to your videoI you made me realised I needed to replace the bottoms of the feet on my Queen Anne style bedside table and helped me to see that’s why it wobbles 🥰
I was sceptical about the new handles as they were made and finished but they do look much better than the old ones without detracting from the original piece.
Great work Keith and personally if I was to purchase this piece I'd definitely go with the new handles there a beautiful addition and much moe in keeping with the piece in my opinion
Nice job Keith, just for the record; the "jig" you made for the handles on the bandsaw is actually a "fixture" which is designed for a specific machining operation on a specific component. Look up Jigs and Fixtures, I'm a retired engineer....
Hi Keith, nice work. I admire your patience. Rob Cosman has recently posted a You Tube video on "sharpening a card scraper". While it's a bit overboard (in my opinion), his method of turning a consistent burr is simple, by allowing the burnisher to handle to rest on the bench. Agree with your opinion about the handles.
I saw that video. Not often I disagree with his methods but for card scraper it was over the top in my opinion. They go blunt quickly, so sharpening up to such a high grit is a total waste of time and unnecessary. The video was also way too long in my opinion! I skipped through 80% of it!
Hi Keith. Seeing what a good job you made of the sideboard prompts me to actually start on our G-Plan dining room table top, which is showing the effects of around 40 years of use, with some scratches and discolourations. I once tried a ROS on a cheaper table, and cut through the veneer to the chipboard underneath, and would not want to do that again. As it is a G-Plan piece, I tried to discover what thickness veneer might have been used, but with no success. It is an oval table, with rounded hardwood edging. My laziness prompts me to use an ROS, as a scraper looks like hard work for an old man, but safer! Have you any suggestions, hints or other advice to get me going on this long put-off project, please? It does have a folded-up extra section that can be moved into the opened top, but that is now a totally different colour to the top that has been more exposed to UV.
Hi Don, I've sanded through veneer before too, it's usually half a mm thick so easily done. Scraping or stripping is safest but I've never found a good quality stripper that's easily available to buy and the industrial stuff doesn't appeal to me. Hand sanding is an option too but takes longer than scraping 👍
Been binge-watching your content over the past few days, as I found an old record player cabinet that needs some work (and I have no experience with this sort of thing!) It was only $40 CDN, so it's a safe place to try and learn a few things; for a complete noob like myself, do you have a recommendation for the easiest and most fool-proof way to finish it? I'm leaning towards something like a teak oil, followed by a spray varnish, but I don't know what I don't know - which is a lot in this area! Thanks for sharing your skills with these videos!

Lovely result Keith. The new handles really make it.
Thanks Mandy

Personally I think the old handles were frelling amazing and so adorable, but that's personal taste for you.
I agree with you--I thought they were the best part of the credenza!
Isn't it strange how tastes vary? I love these videos but was overjoyed when those handles came off. Hideous! Personal preference.
OMG. Throw those old pulls away. The ones you made are a huge upgrade for this piece. Really nice work.
Just beautiful,,, beautiful,beautiful
the handles look great what a improvment
Nice work. Good call on scrapping the old handles and making much nicer new ones!
definitely an improvement on the handles!
I was coming to say the very same thing. Much better with the new handles
LOVED the new handles! and thanks for leaving links for all tools and products used..
I think the new handles are beautiful! Nice job!
I didn't expect the knobs to make such a difference . It came out outstanding !!!!!!
An excellent job 👍 Those knobs look much better than the original ones too.
Great tip for the water damage removal - works so well. Looks like a lovely piece of furniture. I much prefer the new handles too.
Thanks Tim
Handles look a lot better mate. Nice job.👍

Like he new handles and the contrast in finish.
Perfect mix of updating and preserving!

I love your furniture restorations and this one did not disappoint. I think you have done a brilliant job.
Would it be a Keith brown video without “ Denibbed at 400 grit” 🤔
Looks much better now. Great choice with the handles.
Great job on this one, Keith. You really gave it an outstanding appearance. I'm with you. The new handles are an improvement.
These refurnishing videos are great as all of us would have work like this to do. Thank you!
Love your new handles after all :)
The new handles made a huge difference! Its much nicer now!
Beautiful and love the new handles!! Completely changed the look of the piece.💜

Very nice video. It is good to see how old furniture getting second life. Great job.
Yes!!! A restoring video. Kind of missed those. Can't wait to see it. In about an hour or so.
I really enjoy your restoration videos. Thank you
Tenho acompanhado seu canal e vi a sua dedicação em restaurar estes móveis. Parabéns. É show seu trabalho.
Great work on this! New handles are far better. Love the piece start to finish since the rehab.
You really should just keep this. It’s sentimental and you did a beautiful job.
I have nowhere for it to go, it's 6ft long!
Great job! Thanks for video!
Bet it’s going to look amazing when it’s finished! Keep it original if I don’t like it whoever buys it can replace the handles
P.S thank you so much thanks to your videoI you made me realised I needed to replace the bottoms of the feet on my Queen Anne style bedside table and helped me to see that’s why it wobbles 🥰
Great Job!!
The new handles are a big improvement.
That turned out absolutely amazing! It's great to see how your skills have improved so much the last few years.
Great job 👍
That top came up a treat and with the new handles its definitely ready to go back into the world! Nice work Keith.
Very nice 👏
Nice job and a beautyful sideboard! 💚
Beautiful result Keith, and I love the new handles....
I was sceptical about the new handles as they were made and finished but they do look much better than the old ones without detracting from the original piece.
Nice work pal, another piece given a new lease of life. 👍🏻
Nicely done! Looks great.
What a turnout! Smashed it!
Great job there mate. I don’t think you will have any trouble selling it. All the best to you and the family.
That looks great! Loving your work
Keith, that was really nice. Great finish and the new handles look like they were there all along.
awesome video and I like the narration a lot! You sound much more relaxed and natural :)
Nice job Keith, sure your Mom & Nan would be proud, OR they might want it back LOL . Stay Safe Mate !!!.
love the new handles !
Really enjoyed the video, bright back memories. Ali ' The China Repair Studio '♥
Came up really nice Keith. Those ring handles didn't do it justice so the new ones are far better. Great video mate 👍

Great work Keith and personally if I was to purchase this piece I'd definitely go with the new handles there a beautiful addition and much moe in keeping with the piece in my opinion
Nicely done Keith 😁. Good call on leaving the original hoops with it for the new owners (but I do prefer your ones..👍). Thanks for the video 😁👍
New knobs !!!
Nice job Keith, just for the record; the "jig" you made for the handles on the bandsaw is actually a "fixture" which is designed for a specific machining operation on a specific component. Look up Jigs and Fixtures, I'm a retired engineer....
It looks Great. The new handles are definitely an improvement. I hope you get your asking price
Those handles are really a great accent Keith. Nice job, hope it sells soon.

Heat gun till the varnish bubbles and then scraper makes it ten times easier 👍

Was waiting for you to bring out the hat and coat stand for the handles
Looks like something out of the Jetson's, great restoration!
Keith could you do a video on all of your Milwaukee tools and do the ones you would recommend and those you wouldn't
Thank You
I don't know if you can get "Citristrip
" but for removing old paint and varnish it works great. Low to no VOC and basically smells like oranges.
Not available here
Agree with you Keith the original handles didn't look right.Nice finish to the sideboard and im sure you will find a buyer.
