So glad you stuck with it! It turned out so beautiful and you did such a great job. I hope your injuries heal 100% and soon. Thank you for sharing your project with us as always I appreciate the education you always provide
You finally got there friend, sure it will look fine when finished after all that hard work by you and your Hubby, have a nice day all !!!. Brian UK !!!. 😀😀👍👍.
Thanks. I haven’t had such a piece in a long time! Maybe it was just the head space I was in. Couldn’t make a sound decision if my life depended on it! 😂
Maybe this is why some flippers paint the top or body? But you hang in there and brought it back to the original look of walnut. It turned out great too!
I did use toner on the top only. And it did take care of all the discolouration but it was the wavy sides that I couldn't wrap my head around. So in the end that was my reason for the re-veneering. I am just glad that it's done! 🤣
@@fjklfdasdf The substrate had swollen so the only way to flatten was to remove some of it. I really don’t know what took me so long to realize it. But hey, you live and learn! 😅 Thanks for watching!
The Sad Lonely Cello at the Beginning Pretty Much Set the Tone for the Episode. But Even with All the Problems with the Top, You Made Another Beautiful Piece! Your Problem Solving was Excellent! Frustrating as it was for You, It was Instructional and Highly Entertaining for Me to Watch! High Praise to Your Husband on the Assist. Do I Call Him Mr. Columbo?😜😜😜
I noticed that when you sprayed the stripper on the top, it seemed to bead up a bit. Made me wonder if there was contamination like wax or furniture polish on it which prevented the stripper from wetting the surface completely. You didn’t mention cleaning before you started stripping. I have never used Stripwell so I’m just wondering. I enjoy your videos so keep up the good work. 😁
@@thomasbagwell4510 Thanks for the kind words. I wiped the cabinet down before stripper. But usually a good stripper just eats through everything! So I am still not sure about Stripwell. I will give it another go in a future project! 🙂
When placing veneer you need to place small strips of wood on the top first before placing the veneer on top and gradually pulling out the strips of wood as you place the veneer on the top it saves you a lot of headaches. Good luck next time. Iron on veneer is easier. Prayers 🙏 and Love 🤟 From Oklahoma
@@gingerdunn6590 I have seen people do the dowel trick. I will have to try it. The wax paper worked ok. Unfortunately I couldn’t find any reasonably priced iron on veneer! Believe me I would have bought it! 🤣 Thanks for the suggestions!
Thank you for sending me a message. I know veneer can be extremely expensive. Sorry you couldn't find a good iron on at a reasonable price. I have so many different places close to me that I can buy veneer Fairly cheap. Sometimes they will even order what I need if they don't have it in stock. prayers 🙏 and Love 🤟 From Oklahoma
Bless your tenacity! I would have thrown in the towel and painted the whole thing. 😮 Beautiful!
Thanks, believe me, I was mighty close to throwing in the towel! 🤣
Stunning! Thanks so much for showing the entire process. You are a wonderful teacher.
Thanks for the kind words! Glad you were able to "get" something from it 😂
So glad to know I'm not the only one with furniture struggles. Lol. It turned out beautifully. Love it.
@@tjholtz9860 I guess it’s just part of the process! 🥹
Turned out beautiful ❤
If it was me I would of given up and used it as firewood so I didn't have to look at it 😂😂😂
@@mudrat52 Believe me I thought about it! 🔥And thanks for watching! 😊
Bless your soul! You certainly went through it with this one, but you stuck it out and got it done! It's so beautiful now, too! Great job!
Thank you so much! Almost didn’t make this one! 😆
Patience and Follow Through. Two of the most important qualities of a furniture restorer. You have both. You pushed until you had a stunning result.
@@cantocant2346 Thanks so much! 😁
A lovely piece! What perseverance you have!! I'm glad you stuck to it and finished it. We all learn by doing !!😄♥
Thanks. It definitely tested my patience! ☺️
Jealous of your mail lady! Turned out just lovely
!
Thank you so much! ☺️
OMG, what a long haul! Now that you've mastered this piece I'd like one please! Great job!!
Ha! You don't even own records! 🤣
What a beautiful restoration. Thanks for sharing your journey.
@@founderist Glad you enjoyed it! 😃
Hi,
The end result looks terrific! I hope you made a profit.
Thanks
Thanks so much! ☺

Thanks. Good to know I’m not the only one! 😉

@@kimzimmerman2492 Thanks for your kind words. My arm is getting better daily so I’m hoping 6-8 weeks from the injury I should be good. 🤞
Your perseverance paid off. Congratulations! 😊
@@julianneboys4062 Thanks, it was a tough one!😣
You did it! And it’s beautiful. Best of luck with your recovery.
@@katherineharper-sj4ys Thanks so much! 😊
Hopefully you can salvage some of the pulled off veneer for another project. Nice save, though.
That's the plan! ☺️
Great job persevering with it, it turned out beautifully!! 😍👏🤩
Thanks. I knew it had potential . The hard part was figuring out the way to do it! 😂
UNA VERDADERA HERMOSURA DE RESTAURACIÓN... MIS SINCERAS FELICITACIONES... ES USTED UNA ARTISTA.
Thanks!

@@Cradley684 Thanks! It was a struggle! 😤
Bless your heart! (said with genuine kindness)
@@IMOO1896 Thank you kindly (sincere!) 😂
😂 Oh yes, I've lived the nightmare several times. These were pieces I thought I'd wiz though fast 😢
Well I love your record cabinet, it's beautiful!❤
Thanks. I haven’t had such a piece in a long time! Maybe it was just the head space I was in. Couldn’t make a sound decision if my life depended on it! 😂
Great job! It looks fantastic now.
@@emmavik-fredriksson640 Thank you 🙏 😁
Simply beautiful ❤.
Thank you! Cheers! ☺️
I feel your pain! But it turned out gorgeous.
@@ldianehigley3287 Thanks! I get the feeling a lot of people have experienced similar frustrations!
Maybe this is why some flippers paint the top or body? But you hang in there and brought it back to the original look of walnut. It turned out great too!
Thanks. Yes I am sure that’s a reason to paint! I just couldn’t bring myself to do it. 😅
With contact cement, you should use slats of wood between the veneer and the base. Then, remove one at a time while sticking down the veneer.
@@jslezak57 The crazy thing is I have seen that being done before, so I knew better! 🙄
It turned out great!
Thanks! 😊
Awesome
This is so relatable! I wonder, could you just have used toner on the top to blend or was there just too much contrast with the stains?
I did use toner on the top only. And it did take care of all the discolouration but it was the wavy sides that I couldn't wrap my head around. So in the end that was my reason for the re-veneering. I am just glad that it's done! 🤣
Terrific job!
Thanks! ☺️
Your efforts were eventually rewarded.
@@bloggalot4718 It just took a lot longer than I expected!😅
Oh my, so much work. The final outcome is gorgeous. Do I detect a Canadian accent? Where are you located?
@@katalintorok2538 Thanks so much! You guessed right, I am Canadian! 🇨🇦! In Ajax, Ontario. Originally from Montreal. Where r you watching from?
I knew it would end up being reveneered :) was there an option to flatten the old wavy edges by cutting into them and reglueing them? Great job btw :)

Thanks for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed it! And my husband says you call him anything just don’t call him late for dinner!😂
It turned out really nice. Did that lady end up purchasing it?
@@SparrowStockwell Thanks. And yes she did. 😄
Gorgeous!! What color stain did you use?
Thank you! ☺ Antique Walnut is the name of the colour, it's by General Finishes.
