I can imagine the lady who owns this cried twice. Once when she got it back the first time. Having had a piece of furniture ruined by someone ‘fixing it’ I know how she felt. The second lot of tears would have been when she saw your work. Tears of utter joy.
My grandfather taught me a little trick. When sanding with the highest numbered sandpaper which is the last sanding, sandpaper your sandpaper! Rub 2 sheets together. Any irregularities will be rubbed off and it will be really smooth.
Keep up your great work and keep loving the pieces. You need to love them to do them justice.
Thank you for the tip! And thanks for watching ☺
Thanks for this tip!
Looks way better!!! You do amazing work!!!! This is my Kind tip.....Be careful of the "leopard disease" only distress where it would naturally happen. You don't want a bunch of random spots all over your drawers.
Thank you!.😊
I still haven't found a piece a furniture you have "Buffed" that I don't like no " LOVE " ! Awesome job.
Awh that is so amazing to hear! Thank you!!
I've been watching flip vids for 2 yrs now, soaking up all the info to apply to my own furniture. And i have yet to complete any of them bc of things shown on videos but not explained. Then, when i try out the "technique," it often leads to frustration and i have to walk away. I'll admit that i am a perfectionist and I try to tell myself that i shouldn't be, but then i think why the hell not?? This is my product. And whether I'm selling it or putting it back into my house, i have to live with the knowledge that I didn't LOVE the finished pc. U always explain what ur doing so well and in layman's terms so us beginners know what ur talking about and i so appreciate that. Please keep putting out this great content! God bless u & urs!
Awh so glad it helps. Thanks for watching!
I wish I was your neighbour. I could keep you busy for months 🥰
Learning a lot from you as I begin my own project.
Thank you from Australia 🦘
🥰☺☺ Thank you! And hello form Texas!
You are fun to watch. That third coat of polyurethane was like watching a dance.
Thank you so much! 💓
I always check to see if the drawers are in the position of best fit first. You’re right, the glides wear. My sock drawer gets a beating.

Hello from Texas! 🤠
You are too cute! You look like your voice would be smoky gruff bear, but you are sweetly soft spoken. Love it!
I often found that's true with Texan men. Very soft spoken, but maybe they don't feel the need to be loud. Not that they don't like talking like West Coast men, just they do it gently. Or maybe, it's just their women make all the noise for em ;). Bless you are your Mrs! Thank you for the video!
🤗
Thank you very much! ❤
Wow, beautiful job. I bet you customer was thrilled!!
Very! Thank you!
Dang that Kona stain NEVER fails…as soon as you put that on I was like, hot damn! Such a gorgeous color!!! This piece deserved a beautiful refinish and you nailed it. Its all about those little details. Thank you for sharing…I just love your channel and all your tips help so much and make sense to me. 💪🏼💪🏼🔥
💪💪😁So glad they help. Thank you!!
The whole idea of painting old furniture is to make it look rustic. Those chips and distress indents in the wood, is what i want when i buy a painted piece or paint one myself. As for the brush strokes, duh! In the old days and probably even now, there wasnt the luxury of a paint sprayer. If you want that look, go buy new. I made furniture for years out of old fences people were taring down. I couldnt keep up with the orders. I even used screws and put them in from the outside. This work killed my husband because hes been a professional cabinet builder for years ( no i never had a nice set of kitchen cabinets..lol ). Anyway we did a challenge. We both built a corner cabinet hutch and put them in a friends furniture store. His was perfect, spray painted,professionally distressed and varnished to perfection. Mine had brush strokes, screws showing, dents and holes and chunks of wood missing here and there . Guess who sold their piece first. MINE!. It made women so happy to see something so old looking. Not an older piece of furniture made to perfection. His never sold til the price was dropped alot. I didnt have much in mine so it was all profit. I think he made $30 on his. Your furniture looks and cost like new. But dont condemn the rustic furniture that is being made to look rustic. Your furniture is not for the people who want painted furniture. Too extreme. Oh well, to each his own. Dont critisize. We have a look we are going for.
Thanks for watching!
Didn’t know about the wet sanding either. Game changer!
I'm fascinated with that wet sanding process. You made that piece look stunning. You're a good instructor. Oh, and I"m glad you didn't alter that piece much. It's stunning.
Thank you very much! AND yes a Dixie I would never cut up unless it was just busted up bad.
Learning so much from your videos.
So glad! ☺
I redid 2 pieces for myself & I used a candle to rub the drawer gliders 👍🏼 works like a charm!
It really does and Pennie’s compared “furniture drawer wax” sold.
New sub here. Thank you for showing kindness to the previous finisher. We need more of that in our world.
We do. Thank you!!
An American in Belgium. Thanks for wet sanding tip. Can't wait to try it!! that deep color is so handsome.
Thank you! ☺
You are a gifted and gentle teacher!!!!
Thank you! ❤
Well done. You made a great job of that dresser. The worst thing about buying something already painted is you don't know what on earth is underneath. I have a buffet that I have yet to tackle and I'm afraid to start as it looks like the paint was thrown at it. Even the beautiful hardware is thick with paint and has become invisible. I've only flipped a set of lockers before so this is a big undertaking but I'm keeping it myself so any mistakes I make, I'll have to live with them or fix them. Thank you so much for answering my question about the wet sanding in such detail. You're an absolute darlin'. Loved seeing the slight appearance of the dog - it's rear end mostly! Not a dogs finest feature. Be great to see more of your furry friends in the future if they don't get in the way. Thanks again. Coffee coming your way. Ireland out
I have 3 pups. Now I have to see where they pop up. Lol. I will stick my little pup in the next one. He is 5 months old and almost 100lbs already.
Yes painted furniture is scary and some paints don't like to come off if you are trying to get down to wood. 🤞🤞 Keeping my fingers crossed for ya!
If it was little and black it was my cat. She comes down from upstairs now and then. My dogs are huge! Mastiff Momma Rogue is 130-140lbs and stands up almost my hieght and her pup Colossus is almost the same size now. Can't miss them in a video 😂
@@DeanFurnitureArtist Thanks
@@DeanFurnitureArtist Holy moly they are huge. Must've been the cat -sorry kitty!!
Great tutorial! That top is like glass.
The dark under coat looks great with the distressing - I’m not a fan of distressing in the middle or body of the piece, but I get that it’s a look that people like. I would love to see how a little dark wax might have tied the beautiful top to the lighter bottom. Thanks for the video!
Thank you! 😊
You’re such a class act! I love your respect for other flippers. That speaks volumes to your character. This is helping me so much to know what to look for and avoid as I venture into doing this again myself. I’m not a total neebie, but I’m definitely not to your level either. I am a perfectionist, so I have learned that some pieces are just not worth my time. There’s no making it perfect regardless what you do
I'm so glad it’s helpful. Thank you!
I actually like this piece from far away. I learned a lot from this video, thanks! You really confused me with the water and sand paper. I’ve never seen that before.
Glad it was helpful!
You did a beautiful job on that piece. I was taught to use steel wool to polish it
I have tried steel wool to dull a finish but haven't tried it for polishing. Thanks!
Steel wool is good but be careful with oak. If little bits of metal get embedded in the grain, black spots will appear. A high count good quality sand paper will do the trick.
You absolutely saved the day on this one!
Thank you ❤
Very, very nice.
Thank you! ❤
Way to go Dean. It's disappointing when you purchase something & it's not what you're expecting. You did a good thing Bud. Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!
Thanks!!
Am enjoying the tutorials it helps me greatly with my furniture up cycles here in Tasmania, Australia. Keep the good work up. Also would like to see your fur baby more please.
I will make sure I put him in the next video. His paws are already bigger then 130-40lbs momma. He is 5 months old now and just under 100lbs 😃. Glad the channel is helping. Thanks for watching!
Hello from nsw
I really like the sealing method you used. Thanks for sharing.
You are so welcome!
Love your channel & your amazing transformations!!! And we're neighbors - watching from Haslet!!!!
Awesome! Yeah you are just down the street! Thank you!
Very Nice!!! And, it was great seeing Mrs. Buff help out too. She's a cutie, we need to see her more often.
Thanks! She does the heavy lifting for me.
Wow.... loving all the tips! Especially how you get that glass top
So glad!
Beautiful...thanks about the top and polyurethane tips. From West Virginia USA
You are so welcome!
I live that rich brown on top! Very nice
Thank you ☺
Wow! You did a beautiful job! You really take the extra time and steps to do things the correct way and I love how you explain how and why your doing the extra steps your doing. Thank you for sharing all your amazing knowledge!
Nice job! I would have enjoyed to see your clients reaction to it at delivery (just an idea for the future).
You had some cool small tips, like the leg coasters and wet sanding. Those would be great Shorts videos.
Great suggestions! Thank you! 🤜
Such a pity that the person that did the job didn’t fix the problem, but 1000% in your favor for fixing this.
Thanxz for explaining the “wet-sanding”, I was wondering why you did that.
I was wondering if they swapped the drawers out into the wrongs slots, but I saw you checked that as well. I always number the drawers when I take them out, it’s always easier to carry these furniture pieces out and about with moving without the drawers in it.
Looking forward to your next video 👍🏻🇳🇱
I do the same to move some of the larger dressers. Sometime half the weight is just drawers!
Thank you!
I really appreciate your tips and tricks on refinishing.. I love the wet sanding.. it's made a huge difference in my finishes.. thanks
Glad to help. Thank you!
Love ❤️ the transformation . I’m from Winnipeg Manitoba in Canada 🇨🇦. Enjoy your content and I’m happy your wife is involved in the process. God Bless
Thanks so much! Hello from Texas!
Im loving that kona stain!!!! I use alot of general finishes java gel...but I think kona will be my next stain purchase!!
Its my favorite for sure. Can get so many different tones with it and it is always a surprise how it comes out on different types of wood. Thank you!!
The glass smooth top technique is great! Thanks from Toronto 🇨🇦👍😊
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent work. Never thought to wet sand the poly. I'll do this on my next project. Thank you!
Your welcome! Thank you!!
I sand chalk paint between coats with 400 to 800 paper that I first wear down a bit to get a super smooth finish without brush strokes, as well. A good quality paint is the key. And patience.
Good info!
Awesome video and I love all of your content. I have a strong feeling your subscriber numbers will grow quickly and steadily. Kudos on a job well done from Michigan.
I hope so! Its been pretty wild already for sure. So exciting. Thank you! 😊
The first refinisher really shot him/herself in the foot by letting the piece out of the shop in less than optimum condition. Hopefully they watched your video and adsorbed the knowledge on how to repair/refinish furniture correctly. I also appreciate the fact that you didn't trash the original refinisher. Kindness is its own reward. The dresser turned out beautifuly!
Thank you!
There is a difference between those who have an eye for perfection and detail and those who don't. You have an eye for perfection and detail therefore your final outcome is perfection! You also care about your pieces and that is HUGE!
Thank you so much!! 💓
Beautiful! Much better and love that the drawers are fixed.
Thanks!
Hello from a fellow Texan! Thank you for quality content. I learned a lot.
Thanks for watching!
Chalk and cheese. Amazing what can be achieved when you know what you’re doing. A beautiful rescue Dean. I absolutely love the top colour, (Kona?) looks like a rich coffee colour so rich and glossy 😍
Yes Kona! Love it. I can wipe alot off and get golds to show or leave it heavy and get a dark rich color. Thank! ☺
I’m looking forward to doing the wet distress and drawer fitting techniques. Beautiful Job.
Thank you! 😊
So glad I found your channel! Great detail so happy clients!
I'm glad to! Thank you! ☺
Hi from Texas! Found your channel about a week ago and love what you do! Thanks for the tips! Beautiful save on this piece!
Love all of your talents on your wisdom and knowledge that you share with us so glad to learn about the drawers the antique pieces I will be doing soon I know I have problems with the drawers so you can give me some hints as to what to look for this piece turned out beautiful you did a great job and hello from Canada I live off North in a small village always looking forward to your DIYs and again thank you for sharing and God bless you and your family
You are very welcome. Thank you for watching!
I use a roller to put oil polyurethane on and it's the smoothes finish I have gotten but it does take practice otherwise you get bubbles. 😁
I just got a French piece we clean it, sanded it and in a few days we are going to paint it for my great granddaughter. It’s going to be Minnie Mouse white with hot pink pokadots and Minnie
That is awesome! I bet she will LOVE IT!!
Yep! This is the one I was waiting for!
I know you have. Told you I would the next time I did a poly top. 👍🏻 Hope it helps. You can wait longer then 2 hours I should have been clearer about that. I have gone back after days to do the last coat. So don't get in a rush if you feel like it needs to dry longer. 👍🏻 Temps and humidity can play a big part in dry time and finish as well. Dry days are always better.
@@DeanFurnitureArtist I did wait longer between coats before wet sanding. I assumed it needed to be completely dry. Actually great to know I don't have to wait that long. Thanks again.
You’re a great teacher. Thank you. I’m in the Bay Area but relocating to Killeen in Q1 2022.
Thank you! 😊 See you in Texas soon.
Just found your channel. Learning new things to help when I work on projects for myself. Great dresser! I'm from Decatur, Texas.
Hello fellow Texan! That hutch I built was sold to a couple in Decatur.
Looks like they got a great piece.
@@shereegarrett9241 thsnk you! ☺
Wow! You really know your stuff ! I hope i can use your talent on my dresser.
You can do it!
Man that is nice. Staged very well also. I love the glass like shine on the top. I will be trying that.
Thank you! 😊
Love your work. When I polyurethane table tops I usually apply 7 coats of polyurethane. The finish comes out like glass. I have pieces I have over 20 years ago and they still look great.
Wow 7! Nice!
Amazing!! Thanks for all the info on doing the top and the primer AND sanding method!!!!
Glad it was helpful!
I learn learning about these kinds of projects!! Thank you!

Hello from TEXAS!
Thanks for sharing your professional skills. I’ve refinished a few of my own pieces, and I’m very fussy. But I have learned numerous tips here. I just happened upon your channel. (I was looking for a tutorial on how to crochet snowflakes!) My interests are varied. I am a new subscriber for sure! Peace and God bless. I’m in the Philly suburbs.
Awesome but you are on your on with the crochet work lol!! Thank you!! 🤗
Thanks for the tips for this newbie! You're my new favorite flipper! (And I've watch ALOT! lol)
Awesome!! Thank you!! ❤
Oh my goodness, you are so awesome. That piece is now beautiful. I’m sure your customer will be very happy with how you fixed her dresser!
She was so happy thank you!
Stumbled on your channel and loved the info. If I met you in an ally, I’d run the other way; but your soft, calming voice kept me interested in your tutorial. Super enjoyable! #utah
HA! Yeah I get that a lot. Thank you so much!!❤
Thanks for sharing!! I’m one of the newbies just starting and I’m obsessed with a smooth finish so I’m so happy your video popped up!! I decided to find furniture that people that want and could donate so I could practice before I start selling. I need making wood signs for a long time but furniture is a whole new world and it’s so fun!!
Glad it was helpful! It is so much fun. Not same tsk day in day out. Every piece can be unique.
Iam a new subscriber, currently binge watching all your videos lol I love how you TEACH us... I am a new furniture refinished and I've watched THOUSANDS of furniture videos and I learn so much from you that others Havnt ever covered... Thank you ♥️

Beautiful work nicely finished.
Thank you so much 😀
You did such a beautiful job. Your work is outstanding with your delicate touch😍🙋🏼 watching from Colorado
Thank you so much! Hello from Texas!
I ❤️ it! Thanks so much for all your hard work!
So glad you do! ❤ First time videoing the work that goes into one of your pieces. Does it give a different perspective from me just picking them up and bringing them back amazing? Or is it like when the magician reveals how he did the trick? 🤔😂😂
That turned out beautiful! I always wondered how to get that glass smooth finish. I could get close but never quite there. Now I know. Thank you so much!
You are so welcome!
Beautiful work on the dresser top. Hello from Wichita Falls!
Hey neighbor 👋
A definite improvement Dean. Looking stunning 🤎🤍
Thank you!
It came out beautiful
San Antonio, Tx here - love your work
Thank you!!
I shared you to my Facebook page! Thank you for teaching me a ton!
Hey thank you so much for sharing!
Yes. I love the Kona color! I use a round blue sponge, pour a little poly intl a pie tin, cover the sponge with a nylon stocking for a smooth finish. I love how you tell us everything you’re doing. Beautiful work. Thanks.
Very neat idea. Thanks!
I love this look!
Thank You!!
Just found your channel while flipping through UA-cam, great work on this! Super informative info all throughout 👊
🤜🤜Thanks!!
Im watching from South of NewJersey. My2nd Video. Thank God she had you to correct the dresser. It looks beautiful. I just learned how to straingten out drawers when they don't work. Top of the Dresser looks great. I'm going to look into getting the red primer for a dresser that I'm enterested in painting. I have been putting it it off. Cause the top of it has shiny finished. I'm not sure if its formica. The entire dresser wood. Made from Bassett furniture co. I'm not sure if I can sand it. Thank you 😊
Hello from Texas. Yeah even with that primer you need a good surface for it to bond to. Don't need to sand it down to bare wood. Just need a good texture surface for it to grab to. I would take some 120 or 220 on a palm sander and just at least get rid of all the shine. That should give the primer something to stick to. Also if your are worried about bonding on a piece do light dusting thin coats and just build up from there. Sometimes dusting it a bit at a time can cause a better "sticking" of the primer then just covering solid with one pass. If that makes since?
Congratulations Dean on the Duck and Cover challenge.
Thank you for sharing your world with your incredible talent.
Miss Donna Marie Baff
Duck and cover 😂😂 thank you!!!
