Cats are often drawn to sensitive, creative, and/or artistic people. That your "neighbors" come by so often is a testament that they can feel in you what we only can see by the glorious results you achieve. This table is a perfect example.
Those cats know they are the star of this channel, and they're just doing their bit. I always appreciate the kittycat interruptions. 😍
100 percent lol
To me. They make it more fun to watch and enjoy too. God bless.
The result is great! But it really is a weird table!
@@Flippingdrawersdidn’t you mean 100 purrrrrcent?? 😁
🤣@@jodilea144
I love that you show your cat breaks. I think that breaks are important in the creative process. It also gives a personal glimpse into your character beyond you calming dialogue, humour and beautiful work.
Agreed.
Take as long as you want between videos, Jay. You don't want to lose your joy by pressuring yourself to rush from one project to the next. Love these old pieces! ❤
I agree! Take your time. If a suitable project cannot be found, I would be thrilled watching you maybe..paint your kitchen. We just like hanging out with you, learning stuff, giving kitties love.
As always, love the kitties.
@@laurawhigham8492 Hear, hear. Jay's just lovely and his energy is gentle. Love the cats, too.
That is such an interesting piece. And, about those distractions…….there is nothing better that those inspection approvals and furry time wasters. What a beautiful restoration!
Well said!
Said 💯% "Purrrfectly"!!!😻
I, too, have purry Shop inspectors who also like to nap test drive everything I make😂 and they don't care about completion times 😸😸😸😂
BTW, the table is beautiful ❤
@@venitabucceri8435 Hahaha, the best inspector's have fur and never find anything wrong with the work you're doing! 👍
Yep..... a weird little table!!
BUT.... As always you found the beauty within and made her gorgeous again!!!
Your dedication to restore pieces that were destined for trash, speaks volume to your caring, patience to saving them. I appreciate you you.
I've run out of superlatives to describe your woodworking skills. You turned trash into treasure. xx
It started off as a surfboard on a stand and ended up an elegant and graceful accent table!! You have the gift!!
OMG Jay! I swear I JUST passed someone picking near my house and saving a coffee table in that SAME shape! I hope they treat it with the same care and respect as you did to yours. It's lovely!
Ha ha cool. Thanks for watching
So funny how that happens! He uses a brass unicorn for the after pics sometimes that is exactly like one I have had for many years-and I live in the US😂
It’s not a weird piece, it’s a work of art! Such a unique piece of beauty, love it and enjoy it!😊
When I saw the final reveal I literally took a sharp intake of breath and said "Oh WOW!" Fantastic Jay. Just stunning. Well done. And I wouldn't get anything done with all those beautiful visitors either.
Wow, thanks! Ha ha they do distract me but I don’t mind 😻
I did too and it looks Absolutely Beautiful!!
Those are the words I used too😅
I agree! One look at the top at an angle, wowsy! That mahogany color is so beautiful, especially with the poly over it. Also the different shades of lighter wood combined were gorgeous!
This is a unique and stunning restoration Jay!!
You said exactly what I was thinking. I had a sharp intake of breath and said, "Oh WOW!".
I think the top of this price is made from one of those round tables that has flaps that fold down to make the table smaller or fold up to make a round table. I think someone took the side panels off of one of these tables to make the top of this table. I think the holes on the underside of this table top are from the hinges that were on the original table. The legs might be the legs of the original table.
who knows but a good guess ;-)
Could be! Maybe the manufacturer had extra ones and said, ‘hey that’s different!’
A gate leg perhaps?
This table reminds me of something that would be in a rectory or the nave of a church. I used to clean the chapel at my university for free tuition and it looks vaguely familiar.

Thank you for restoring wood furniture in a way that not only brings it back to life, but provides function and beauty. Your workmanship is first class.
Thank you very much!
Bloody hell!! That first image of the restoration certainly had the wow-factor!! As a devoted cat-dad, let the kids have free reign! They simply add to a wonderful channel!!
Ha ha awesome
You never cease to amaze me, Jay. Great teachers are the ones who aren't afraid to show more than one way to reach a goal. I think you need a clip that says "cat scan in progress." 😊 Thank you for another wonderful restoration. 💕
The burl grain on the top piece is so pretty. I wish they'd gone with any other shape on it, but I think this will look lovely as a hall console table if paired with other wood pieces.
If you look at the missing apron outline and how the leg assembly overlaps it, it's pretty clear this is a "second marriage" for the top and bottom.
I’ve been watching you for a very long time. I must say you are techniques have improved tremendously. I love to hear your voice. It’s calming and peaceful. It’s the way I feel when I’m working with wood. This project came out so beautiful and I’ve learned a lot from you through the years. Thank you so much for all your videos and your knowledge. I know you love sharing with others.
My pleasure 😇 thanks for watching
You never cease to amaze me, Jay. Never. Maybe you aren’t a “trained” carpenter, but I think your carpentry skills are fantastic. It is what you do with finishes that blows me away. A perfect piece of carpentry can be ruined by poor finish work. The pieces you rescue need not fear your finishing skills. Always stunning!
This is a unique piece of furniture with loads of character. I’m glad you saved it ❤.
Looks like a fancy ironing board
That's what I thought too. 😊
I did as well
LOL
A bit short for ironing. Some of the detailing made me think it came from a church.
I was thinking surfboard. :)
What a beautiful grain. Pity someone covered it in paint. I like seeing you find and restore these unusual pieces, Jay. And I always love seeing the kitties 😊
Love your work! We love watching your videos because of YOU! Your style, format and "presence" always make us happy.
You mentioned a few detractors in this one. For what its worth, we always enjoy seeing the process and your journey to find what works for you. Its entertaining and very much a part of your charm. Live your truth. ❤
I think it was once a drop leaf occasional table that the main centre top section has been removed from. You’ve done a lovely job with what was left. Beautiful wood grain under that weird paint job.
Looks like an entrance console table.
Yeah, Jay I’m sure you hate having the “inspectors” coming around keeping you from your work about as much as you love sanding so VERY much 😆😻
Thanks 😊
Absolutely beautiful as always. Your meticulous attention to detail makes every video fascinating. 25:28 I watched this while drinking my morning cup of coffee and it gave me inspiration to continue working on my own projects.
Awesome 🤩 thank you
The 🐾cats🐾 come to visit you because they know you'll show them affection😊
I enjoy your restoration with each find
Thank you! 😊
This table is unique in several ways. I love the transformation. The grain pattern in the top is spectacular, and you made it shine 😍
Reminds me of a piece of furniture you’d find in a church rectory or nave. I cleaned the university chapel in exchange for free tuition. The grain is stunning!
I swear I can hear your pieces sing when you've completed refinishing them! Beautiful as always.
My! What a difference!
The project ended up so very beautiful, the colors blended in really nicely.
I like how you were not judgmental of the way previous owners treated the piece. People have different tastes and ideas.
Keep doing you ❤
The top of that table is breathtaking. What a gorgeous piece of wood. I can't imagine someone covering with that stone finish.
That funky surfboard turned into a beautiful funky table! 😺
Great job fixing it up! The repairs & final color were excellent!👌🏼
Your supervisors have good taste too 😸
I LOVE THIS!!!! The colors are amazing! As always, you did a brilliant job! Thanks for letting us watch!
Great work! Lovely wood grain. The cut-out motif on the sides reminds me of church furniture.
The grain of that wood is incredible, and the colour of the piece is so unique. It's lovely.
So uplifting watching you do this. It's turned out so beautiful.
Thanks you, Jay, for expressing your thoughts about more than one way to do things, and people having various and legitimate reasons for not doing something the way everyone else does it. I used to hand spin wool, I was self-taught, of course I didn't do it the way the "professionals" did it, but my way worked for me, and I was happy with the end results. If everyone did everything the same way, how boring that would be, and how limiting, less happy mistakes that lead to beneficial discoveries. Thanks for saying it.
Excellent comment!
no problem and great to hear you've got a hobby 😉
From weird and ugly to classic and gorgeous!
I am amazed at the quality and volume of videos that you put out. There are so many moving parts!
Another great one! Don’t burn out!!!
Halla,
Wow the table top graining is gorgeous. Really nice job. Never would have thought that was hiding underneath the paint. I always enjoy watching when you do touch ups and repairs so that it blends in with the original wood. And the "2000 years later" is hilarious.
Thanks
Thank you so much 😊
Wow!!! Such a beautiful piece! I can’t believe how you changed it from something that I would pass up for junk to something so marvelous. Well done once again ❤
This piece is absolutely gorgeous. I love when the cats are in your videos. Most importantly, you teach me something new every time.
@FlippingDrawers you took a diamond in the rough and turned it into a show stopper! One of the reasons I have you as one of my favourites is you explain a variety of ways to get great results! Anyone in the business knows different wood species and products react differently. Of course there are multiple ways to do something!
When you showed the original state...I wanted to slap the previous owner! You couldn't even see the side detail. Who does that to such a unique piece? Thanks to you it's glowing in it's original glory!
Such a loving touch! Your attention to detail really leant itself to a BEAUTIFUL restoration!
I really appreciate your restoration work. You do everything with tender loving care. The polyurethane spray really improves the appearance, and it makes for an interesting conversation piece. Love all the details on this work of art.
Thank you!
The top of that piece is breathtaking! What a great job overall and thank you for bringing this piece back to life!
Of all the furniture refinishing videos out there, yours are my favorite! Thank you!
You make a great teacher, with encouragement and example. ❤
I thought this table was really odd at the start. Of course, after all of your hard work, you've changed my mind. The deep, rich color and the wood grain on the top are just beautiful.
Awesome, thank you!
OMG it's stunning. The way the light hits it in the one spot, breath taking. I really love watching your videos. You make everything look so easy. I love how you explain everything so nicely. I feel like I can do it too. Don't have the tools or supplies tho. I have two pieces I wanna restore. Thank you for all da videos. God bless y'all always and protect y'all always stay safe and healthy
Thank you very much 💛
For some reason it reminds me of something from a church. Great work as always. Always truly appreciate your passion for saving these worthy pieces, and the kitties supervision of course....
GORGEOUS, UNIQUE, BEAUTIFUL WORK RESTORING THIS PIECE!🤩🤯💗 Your “distractions” are wonderful too🥰 It’s a blessing to get to share your life with Furbabies imo. I’ll happily but excitedly wait for your next videos. God bless💗
I have a dental appointment on Wednesday and I can only hope that she's as careful as you were!
my appointment coming up soon. all the best. MM
😂
You always do such amazing work. I love watching you bring life back into these items 💜
Thank you so much!
This table is gorgeous! The grain on the top is beautiful- so happy you saved this unusual piece! Thanks for another great video!
You are so welcome!
I love the way you work. Stop apologising for doing what u love. As long as u are happy with the result, we are happy to chill watching you do your thing. I love that you use alternative methods. I have limited resources so I appreciate the substitute ideas. Some pieces that I work on take months, even years to complete. I do it cos I enjoy fussing over the little details and I love sanding by hand. I also use whatever I have got! Keep it up, I ADORE your ideas (and there is always time to say hi to the kitties!) Dig your happy wholesome vibe! Thank you....
Looks like church furniture.
good call
Your work is always beautiful! The wood on the top is gorgeous, I just can’t get past the surfboard shape, was hoping u would oval it out. It looks like (imo), someone had taken a rectangle and shaped into surfboard. 😊
Thanks for watching ;-)
If the top is original, and it looked that way, it must just have been a whimsy for folks who wanted something ‘different’.
Just an unusually shaped entrance console table.
What a beautiful piece. The fire in that wood is glorious. Congratulations. ☕️
I researched some of the design aspects of this table. The Cathedral design in the legs made me think it is 1890' Chippendale style hall table with a fancy pants top made from another table. I love it! I am a one of a kind too so we are buddies already!
A beautiful result! Watching you work, and listening to your commentary is such a pleasure. Plus your Cat Inspectors are gorgeous 😻
The original faux stone paint finish on that table was hideous! It should be illegal to paint woods such as mahogany and even oak, but I digress.
You made that table absolutely SPARKLE!!! It's so beautiful when you were done with it!!! ❤❤❤
The kitties very nearly stole the show, I love it when they make appearances in your videos! Cheers from Virginia, USA! 🇺🇲
Thank you 😊 glad you like it
Awesome color matching. I'm sure this piece never looked so good. Masterful. Thank you for sharing with us.❤
I googled oval, antique tables, and couldn't find anything that resembled this one--especially with those legs. I did see several that had an apron, with a small drawer in it. Most of these tables were for several thousand dollars to buy them.
It always makes me sad to see people paint antique pieces like this. I'm glad you took the time to restore it, and the finished piece is gorgeous! When the light hits the top, it's stunning.
I do Not think that is a table. I think it was once used in a church for kneeling at while receiving the sacrament at the alter … just a thought GREAT JOB!!!💙💙🌹🌹
you might be right 🙃
@@Flippingdrawers It is just s thought. 💙🇺🇸🌹
Looks like an entrance console table but if the height is correct, could have been a church kneeler as well.
@@vaderladyl I came to the conclusion that was a religious item due to the carvings in the upright leg supports. Just a thought 🌹💙🇺🇸
I think that this might actually be a combination of 2 different pieces of furniture. The sides of a round table with an apron and possibly the legs of a console table. I can't imagine any reason why they painted it. Someone said they thought it was burl wood, but it looks like spalted to me. Now I'm going back to watch the rest of the video.
Hi. Thanks for watching and I agree.
My thoughts exactly, about the 'Frankenstein' of 2 pieces. But Jay did his impeccable magic on it and was beautiful!
Agreed.
@@corisullivan9870indeed!
I love your shop inspectors. Beautiful table. Very different shape.
I have no clue what the surf board shape table top wouldve been created for but you made it BEAUTIFUL. excellent job as always. Love your tool collection
Just saw this comment 😂 sorry Cory 😂
Wow that's breathtaking. Absolutely gorgeous. And I love seeing the cats.
Using what's around, different methods to what other people think is 'right' & getting interrupted by cats - all very relatable! Beautiful result & lovely to see a less usual shape of table - good inspiration!
Как же раньше красиво делали мебель мастера и уродовали позднее неумелые пользователи... А современные реставраторы дают вторую жизнь мебели. Браво!
It is so important to have inspectors on the job. They keep coming back so they obviously enjoy what they do and the reward they get for attending.
You have such patience and precision in your work, and it really shows.
Wow...The woodgrain on this table is magnificent. I love beautiful wood furniture.
I have some chairs I need to re-glue after 50 years of use.
Thanks for watching ! Glad you enjoyed
The veneer on that table top is beautiful! So are the cats!
WOW it is so beautiful. You did Great ! You brought that little table back to life.
WOW! This piece turned out so amazing! The carving motif on the legs almost looks ecclesiastical.
You might be right. Thanks
Your use of so many tools and products is admirable. Love watching you work.
What a unique table. It reminds me a bit of a surfboard. It turned out beautifully. Personally, I wouldn't know what a project was without regular distractions, especially in the form of furry friends that show up to say hi. They are all so adorable!!
I love watching how furniture restorers handle similar repairs differently. There isn't always one correct way. I like to think outside the box, so I might handle things differently than the next person. I don't have 1% of the skill that you do, but I still enjoy doing little projects for my home. I really enjoy watching you at your craft.
As a California girl, I can't help but see a surfboard or a skim board every time you showed the table top. What an interesting shape for a table! I almost wanted to see a fin on the bottom! LOL! Amazing restoration, Jay! Just beautiful. I'm always impressed with your attention to detail, too. Superb!
That grain on the top is gorgeous. Lovely unique table and beautiful work.
Don’t let the Downers get to you. Love the detailed work you do in restoring furniture even underneath and the backs. Keep on keeping on!!
What a beautiful looking table. I can see that both you and the fur babies absolutely hate each other lol. I hope you keep up the fantastic restorations that you do .
This is such a lovely piece, I can not understand why anyone would have wanted to cover that top with anything other than the polyurethane you used. The grain in the wood is beautiful and the base unit came out wonderfully. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to seeing more of your work very soon. 😊
Absolutely superb. The tear top table is so elegant and delicate, it needed the beautiful grain to show again.
You took something that was headed to the landfill and made it a gorgeous and useful piece of furniture. And you are a good man that loves someone else's animals!
Thank you very much!
It is a lovely piece, beautiful wood and restoration!
I love that you think outside the box when it comes to utilizing different tools and methods to get the job done. I've got a tricky rocker I'm working on and you've given me some creative solutions!
The finish of the table top really really makes for an almost dynamic pattern. Really alive... Very nice indeed.
That is the strangest table I’ve ever seen. It looks like a surf board. You did an awesome job!!!
Absolutely love how beautiful the table looks after it's restoration.
What a beautiful piece of furniture. It looks so dainty and feminine I love it.
The wood grain on the top is stunning.
There will always be dissenters. Don't take the criticism to heart Jay. As you say, everyone has different ways of doing things and having found your channel about six weeks ago, I have found a lot of your ways of working very interesting and helpful for when I have to restore a chest of drawers of my own. I love your work and really enjoy watching your well put together videos. And of course, Hugo and the work shop manager are a treat as well! Keep doing you and keep giving new life to unwanted pieces of history😍
I will never understand why people paint over such beautiful wood grain. Masterful job!
When you got that top polyurethaned, I said, "yummy!". That is something gorgeous. When the sunlight catches the red 💥 I ❤ your work!
Your philosphy matches mine. Even though I absolutely adore cats, too, my philosophy is "There is more than one way to skin a cat." Yes, whatever works to get a job done. We don't need a dogma to achieve a good restoration. By the way, yesterday was the first time I came across your channel. I subscribed and was totally entranced with your resutls. BRAVO!
Thanks for sharing!!🧡
Such beautiful veneer on the top of that little table. I'm so glad you brought it back to life, and I'm sure your little distractions approve as well
If i could have a houseful of side tables, i would. I love them. This one is very interesting. Great job. Beautiful cats 🐈⬛
The top piece on its own would make such a cool serving platter. Great work!
Oh my goodness this was something else Jay. What a fantastic and glorified piece of wood grain you brought out in that table top. Who would’ve thought it could be that gorgeous. I love all your fur babies and how you allow them to distract you 😻❤️🇺🇸 pssst this is my new favorite channel. I’m binge watching 3 a night to catch up. Love your filming and editing and music. It’s great
Absolutely gorgeous. It takes a true artisan to achieve such a result.
