      I mean whats there NOT to love about Jay?!?!? I mean he does let his grass get too long on occasion but, either than that I'm honored to call him a friend. Very much enjoy your videos also Bud & the weaving on the MCM challenge is still one of the coolest things I ever saw. Hoping all is well guys, Dirty Jersey out!!!

    I love what you are doing. I love to see your family and that they are helping you with your small business! The purists that only think wood furniture should just be refinished are extremely unrealistic. The main purpose is for the piece to be used again and loved and not thrown into the landfill. I love both painted and stained pieces. I support you in your journey! Continue ans carry on.

    Paint, stain. The piece usually tells you what it needs. I have beautiful table converted to a desk that broke my heart to paint. But i had no choice. There was too much damage to the wood.

    I found your channel through the recent challenge, and have enjoyed watching this second video from you. Whatever you’re doing, don’t change a thing. Your personality, talent, determination, and skills come through. I enjoy you thoroughly. I watch a lot of this type of UA-cam channel (including Jay) and each one is different. Each one has a different approach and I like the variety. I will be a frequent watcher so keep on doing exactly what you’re doing. Best of luck to you and your lovely family. 👍🏻

    I, too, found you through the challenge. I love your voice, and your work is beautiful. I’m not usually a fan of painting wood furniture, but everything is a matter of what the eventual owner wants for their home. One man’s trash is another’s treasure, especially after it’s been customized! I’ve seen some beautiful painted furniture, especially when there is a beautiful contrast with the hardware or some exposed beautifully stained wood.
    Your wife is beautiful, and your son is adorable. (I love the tradition of having him appear in your videos!) Be sure to show his footage to whoever he woos when he’s an adult, LOL. It’s interesting to hear the subtle differences in your accents. One of my favorite things about UA-cam is hearing the many different variations of the English language spoken around the world!

    WTH that's the whole reason I have a spouse. To be a PARTNER in life. If I'm doing something difficult, he absolutely offers to help and vice versa. Also, date nights and anniversaries don't always have to be super special. You spent time together AND got something accomplished. Seems like a win to me. I'm 43 and have been married for 23 years. Flexibility, empathy, kindness, love, and unwavering support are important. We don't even like the same things, but we've managed to raise 2 wonderful children and thrive in life goals because we support each other no matter what. If your wife was unhappy helping you, I'm sure she'd say so.

    It was really nice to get to know a little bit more about you and also your UA-cam journey Cole, thank you for sitting down and sharing 😊👍 My goal for 2024 is to focus more on my YT channel and grow it as much as possible - I do struggle with filming and editing but that’s largely to do with my ADD and getting bored far too quickly 😅 It’s much easier to just work on a piece of furniture and not have to worry about camera angles and all of that! But that’s something I’m working on too. You did make me chuckle about not inviting people round to sit and stare at your painted furniture - I never realised what a heated topic it was before I started furniture flipping myself 😂😂 Wishing you lots more amazing success on YT and lots of memory making with your son as a stay at home Dad (mine has just gone off to uni and yes, the time really does fly!!) 🥰

    • @flipitnation
      @flipitnation  8 місяців тому +1

      I wish you all the very best with your goal, I’m sure you will get there. Filming and editing can be tedious at the best of times, ADD would add another layer to work through for sure.
      Yes I quickly learnt that painting was a hot topic 😅 Hot and sensitive!
      Anyhow, I look forward to seeing more of your work in 2024! Take care 😎

    What a lovely video! I don't get people being upset when other people paint furniture. That's 🤪. There's plenty of furniture in the world for people to do what they want. Painting instead of buying new is excellent! People commenting on accent is also crazy. Its a different accent, not a wrong one. The same people that needs to learn more languages..

    I listened to the whole video, Cole. You're easy to listen to. After what you told us about not skipping ads, I will watch all of yours. I want to see your channel grow. I think you and your wife have excellent decorating taste. As for painted furniture--I have only two pieces out of twenty pieces of furniture that are painted, so yes, that was a good comment to make. I pronounce router as rau-ter, and I think most of the English speaking populations pronounce it that way. I'm in the U.S.. I watch about 10-15 furniture rehab'ers. Do you know of:
    1. Modern Makeovers--Canada
    2. Katie Scott Salvaged by k. scott--Canada
    3. Transcend Furniture Gallery--Canada
    4. John's Furniture Repair--Canada
    5. Thomas Johnson Antique Furniture Repair--Maine, U.S.
    P.S. I thought you and your wife worked together brilliantly to make that woven seat. I was amazed at how the two of you made it look easy (I'm sure it wasn't), and, it looked fantastic at the end. Always keep in mind that it is easy to misunderstand intent when some comment is written. The person who made that comment about your marriage was probably trying to be funny, and it didn't work. All of us are missing so much now in this day and age as we communicate on social media via texting and commenting. That's how it was before the invention of the telephone, when people could only write notes and letters--there was so much misunderstanding. The telephone changed all that, but sadly, we are all texting much, much more than making phone calls these days.

    Be proud of being a Kiwi. Don't worry if Yanks don't understand your accent. That's their problem. As for the trolls, just count the number of dislikes each of your videos gets. As I write this there are 239 likes and no dislikes. As for using the chisel, my old man used to call a screwdriver a Yankee chisel. You've only just started doing these restorations, so you can't expect to have the skills of old craftsmen, but your products are great. Rex Krueger (wood worker UA-camr) once said "never point out the little mistakes in your work to a customer because they will not have seen them". The mistakes will bug you, but they can only drive you to take more care on the next job. Paint or stain? Two sides of the same coin and your generation is preferring clever use of paint. As an old bloke, I really dislike walnut stain.

    Only a year wow ok I must have started watching earlier than I thought 😂
    I definitely remember watching when your son was so tiny.
    You grabbed my attention with your humour and I liked what you did and how you did it. I do remember the chisel and I think the comments were awful you use what is available to you.
    The paint issue can be brutal and annoys me greatly. Yes ideally if you have a really old piece of furniture restoring it fully would be nice BUT as is life things don't always go that way and if paint is needed to extend it's life then so be it better than the dump/landfill.
    I have stopped commenting on a lot if channels because of the trolls especially bigger channels as they get it the most and I don't even read comments on them anymore as I just lose my temper with the idiots 😂

    Brilliant response to the paint dissenters.
    I have a rOUTer, however I have noted that a couple of refinishers from either side of the southern Welsh border have rOOTers. I find pronunciation of words is not as bad and name changes.
    The number of different names I have come across for long sleeve over-tops made out of a knitted fabric the would match your track suit bottoms is amazing. Then if you want one that is made from knitted yarn, often a wool blend, I really start getting confused. I have lived in too many places that speak different English dialects and have different accents. I just speak with my accent that I describe as confused.
