    You're so good at this. I watch a lot of these videos and I enjoy your restorations the most. You have a great eye for this and good woodworking chops! I like your easy going style of presentation (some other furniture flippers on UA-cam narrate their videos as if they have just painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel!) and you clearly aren't shilling product for any brands. I hope your subscriber count climbs as you deserve a much larger audience.

    Just "bumped into" your channel! I think you are one of the very very few people with actual taste and a keen eye for aesthetics on UA-cam! My only "problem" (pet peeve, OCD...) is that you don't paint the inside of the furniture and the drawers! I get that most people don't and it's cost and time consuming for you but that is a major factor for me when I'm looking to buy a piece of furniture!
    Again, though... Great, GREAT style!

    Geez, every time I think I've seen what will be my favorite video, I go on to the next one of yours and say the exact same thing... "This is my favorite video!" This turned out beautifully! Love the choice of Black to pair the top and legs with. No clamps during this entire re-do. I find the inevitable glue and clamp scenarios very satisfying, haha. I can't remember what you were doing when I noticed this (maybe sanding?) but for whatever reason the piece was wobbling a bit as you went back and forth. I just kept thinking, "How can she stand that as she works?" Maybe you didn't even notice, but I wanted so much to offer a matchbook to stick under the short side, haha. Thanks for sharing another great vid! These are addictive!

Thanks for the inspiration!

    You never prime anything, you just paint right on the sanded wood. You seem mostly to use a lot of black. Does that make a difference? If you were using a light color, would you then prime the piece? I’m asking because I lost my husband 3 1/2 years ago and the house I have now needs trim, paint on the cabinets, etc. I’m trying to learn from you and not make humongous mistakes.

    • @TranscendFurnitureGallery
      @TranscendFurnitureGallery  3 роки тому

      I actually do prime on occasion, if I’m painting over a wood that would have a lot of bleed though (where the tannins in the wood leech through the paint and stain it), or if it’s a super slick surface. I don’t prime if I’m using a darker colour on a well prepped surface. Cabinets (especially kitchen) should definitely be primed, no matter the colour being painted). I do a huge range of colours and to prime or not to prime just depends on the piece and what it would be used for. :-)

    @TranscendFurnitureGallery I'm watching this again. I have an antique poker table that desperately needs an update. I got it for free! Not a fan of used baize or felt. I want to remove the old material and make an inlay for a chess board and backgammon. After playing with the idea...originally I was going to do 2 inlay side by side. Now I'm considering one double sided board that can be popped out and turned over. Plus a 2nd board stored under it. Any suggestions on the edge of the board? The 2nd board in place, the table will be used for poker or crocinole (lol having a brain freeze on that spelling so just pronounce it out).

    If the former I would expect it to be over 100 years old. I have a ‘square wooden plate that has been turned into chess board.very thick and uneven

    Did you keep it? Love the original material and build; you gave it a new reason to find another home.
