Where do I begin with this one.... This was a big challenge. I found this credenza in a garden shed and it was the dirtiest piece of furniture I've ever picked up. Took over a week to restore but the results are absolutely amazing !

My goodness! It takes talent, devotion, patience and love to restore such a piece of furniture. You’ve got them all! It turned out marvelous! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
Ten-out-of-ten👍👍
This isn't a restoration. This is art. Incredible work again.
Thank you 💛
Absolutely
No its restoration
Beaucoup de travail très beau ❤
I am convinced those legs are much earlier than the buffet. Your workmanship on the finish was absolutely superb, and the neighbourhood kittens love you!
I agree. Those legs look more Victorian than Bauhaus or mid-century modern. I would love to know what the original legs were. Judging by the look of it, this may well have been a custom piece. I wonder if it were part of a whole suite of dining room furniture. Seeing the complete room would be a sight to behold
Those legs (well not THOSE legs) appear on another piece he fixes. I swear I've seen them in at least one other video on his channel.
You never cease to amaze me, Jay. This buffet is gorgeous! If it were able, I believe the buffet would weep tears of joy. Great work, sir!
Who could ever imagine this beautiful piece was hiding under all that paint. Love the amount of work you put into the repairs in order to bring it back to it's original look.❤
Fantastic transformation! I love watching you bring these pieces back to life!
Thank you very much!
Beautiful restoration stunning hope its a keeper for you
Absolutely incredible. You are a true artist. This is stunning.
What a great job you have done 😊
I'm speechless!! Who would've ever imagined how beautiful that old tattered piece of furniture would turn out!? AMAZING JOB! ❤
Right? So happy with the results. Thank you 🙏
Oh! What a fantastic job you did! You turned that “piece of junk” into a stunning prize piece of beautiful furniture! 👏👏Well done!!👏👏
Stunning! They don't make furniture like that anymore, so it's worth restoring old, but solid, pieces. Incredible work of art.❤
Glad you enjoyed it
An emergency cat break -- lol. I'm all for saving old furniture, but i would never have dreamed in a million years that this piece could have ever been saved, let alone turn out to be so beautiful! That stain color is wonderful, too.
Thank you 😊
Only you could have seen the future beauty of this piece. I don't think too many others would even have attempted this. The final result blew me away! This was very labor intensive, but the end result is a showpiece! You did a wonderful job Jay!!!!
Glad you enjoyed 💛
Hi Jay, apart from absolutely worshipping your skills and talent, l love the sound and timbre of your voice. I could listen to you all day. Thank you sir.
Ha ha that’s awesome. Thanks Debra😉
Wonderful job!!!!! This piece is now back to life. Thank you, there is nothing like a piece of wood furniture, it is alive.
What a unique piece and what an unimaginable transformation!! Spectacular work, my friend. Thank you for saving this from the landfill, and restoring it for a brand new life.
Thank you very much!
Jay I think it’s fair to say this is your calling….with every restoration your work just keeps getting better. Every video the patience and attention to detail is outstanding. Another stunning piece 😊 Natalie
Wow, thanks 😊
@@Flippingdrawers
It’s true Jay.
Отличная работа! Шикарный результат! Превосходный мастер!!!
Master Jay, Magnificent! Forgive me when I write too much. …always so many details, but this episode’s piece was very labor intensive, but you imagined what was within. 1st… I love your support systems, besides your subscribers. 1. The beautiful neighbor kitties giving you the ultimate compliment-side ways rub hugs ❤ & 2. Your faithful samurai warrior battling with you. This restoration required him changing positions to fight for you. 😮 Thank you both for your hard, stunning work❗️.
The “side thingys” were weird, interesting, & in the end, marvelous unique feature. The stain color & contrast wood with the lighter strips, along with the grain are gorgeous. The victory is in the small things, as well as the big: you wisely elevate & celebrate the hardware. The touches of brass/ metal adds definition & sparkle with your care.
I worked my way through some of my college costs as a seamstress. Every element counts, the materials, the design, color & pattern, the interior quality, and the finishes.
It is a joy to watch your work & these pieces being elevated. I would display your prices in my home w/ great pride. My gratitude 🌾
Holy cow!! That turned out flipping amazing!!!!! What a unique piece of furniture....I can see why you chose to save it. Great job!! (Always happy to see the kitties 😸)
Glad you liked it!!😻
That is a beautiful buffet restored to its former glory. Great job! Also very impressed with how organised your workshop is :)
Thank you very much!
Eu também admiro e gosto muito mesmo da organização e limpeza da oficina! Demonstra o quão caprichoso e detalhista é com todos os processos. Ótimo exemplo! Parabéns! 👏👏👏😍💖😘🇧🇷
He is very particular about everything. He is way too hard on himself. Kinda perfectionist. I love all his work. He always amazes me with every new video. Even the videos I have watched many times. I still get so amazed. I love watching how he works. The kitties are a ➕➕➕
Thank you 😊
As usual, you have given this piece a new lease on life. Its stunning! And all the thingys came up beautifully. It's gorgeous ❤❤
A very unique storage cabinet. Beautiful recovery. Now it is usable and beautiful!
Stumbled across this video and gave it a watch, at first I though why would anyone want to save that horrible thing, then I could see why.
You have made something that looked dated into something absolutely amazing and beautiful.
Great work and also inspirational.
The design of this credenza is absolutely beautiful. Glad that you took great care in refinishing this piece.
Thank you very much!
I actually think that this is one of your best restoration/transformations. It’s just perfect
You might be right 😉💛
This video just appeared on my UA-cam feed, and I was intriguied, so I watched it. I don't know you or your work, but this was jaw-dropping in its complexity. Your work is astonishing! Two people should be around to see this restoration: the woodworker who built the piece originally, and the person who used it in the shed. Bet both would be shocked and amazed!
You should have a few apprentices from the local highschool to learn from you. So much attention to detail. You are a Master!
This piece is beautiful and thank you for restoring it to the original beauty. I watched someone work so long and hard on a piece. They stripped the paint, sanded it, and brought the rich beauty out in the wood. Only to repaint it the same color they just stripped off of it. That wood was screaming "HELP" in the end. You have a great day
I know, as a crafter, that sanding and scraping is our favorite! As a watcher, I love to watch someone else doing it. Seriously though, it is actually very satisfying to see the wood color and grain come out while I watch you sand and/or scrape. As always, this turned out to be a very beautiful piece.
Thanks 😊 I do like to watch other people struggle too 😂😂
What an unusual piece of furniture! I have never seen anything like it. Love the ”pull-out thingies”! Good job as always, you’re one of the best! 🏅
This is incredible! It was like to watch you, finding a precious pearl, hidden deep inside the mud! Congratulations 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Glad you enjoyed it!
What an incredible restoration!! You did an excellent job!! I looked up the brand and these pieces sell for thousands!! You’ve given this jewel a new life, and I hope it is appreciated for many years to come!! Bravo!!
Thank you 😊. On my local Facebook marketplace I struggle to sell anything
@@FlippingdrawersTime to sell to a wider customer base 😉
When you looked it up did it say that the things that pulled out on the side word for like a bar like where you put the whiskey bottles

You and the cats are just adorable! Another gorgeous transformation Jay, superb job :)
Thanks so much! 😊
Exquisite!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
That entire restoration is nothing short of astonishing. Wow Jay. You are so talented and I can’t even believe what you are capable of. And I love those cats. Thank you for the video. I love to watch you work. Carry on……❤️
Wow, thank you!🙏💛
I appreciate your attention to detail. So many content creators forget about the bottoms and inside of the piece. Thanks for all you do
WOW! I mean just, WOW!
What an interesting piece, and what a lovely transformation! It’s beautiful, Jay!
Thank you so much!
Wow! That's such a cool and unique-looking piece of furniture. And of course amazing job as always bringing it back to life.
Glad you like it!
I am 74 and I love restoring furniture. I also enjoy building furniture. I have never even considered it worthwhile restoring anything made with particle board. I live in Tasmania and the local rubbish tip sells old timber and furniture. I therefore have a great supply of well seasoned wood. My house is built in 1905 and the furniture I make represents the age of the house. I have found many pieces of furniture which I have restored. Most are in a sound condition and only require the original shellac softened with alcohol and recoated with new shellac. Working with veneered chip board is a bit daunting for me but your results are quite amazing. I can now see there might be some thing worthwhile in mid century Furniture.
I think it depends on when you were born and what is available to scrounge in your area. Thanks for your video
Geoff
Thank you ! Glad you enjoyed
You make all the furniture you restore look fantastic. Love your inspectors.
Glad you like it
Such an unusual piece of furniture. It certainly was a mess when you started, but it was just hiding a a beautiful buffet. Your description of the side pull outs as "thingys" totally cracked me up. Another great video of a meticulous restoration.
Much appreciated 💛
I'm surprised anyone would take that particular project on, but you performed miracles. What a beautiful piece of furniture in the end.
Love your warrior assistant, he represents your work ethic well, determined to win another battle.
It amazes me the time you spend on a piece. I wish I didn't get too anxious and hurry thru projects. All I can say about this piece is -- WOW!
Thank you 😉💛
You are a woodworking magician! I love your sense of humor. That is a really neat cabinet and you did an amazing job bringing it back to life!
Awesome! Thank you!
*That is an exquisite piece!* You turned what most would have considered to be trash into a masterpiece! Wowza! Simply beautiful!
🤩
I haven't heard the word "credenza" in a looong time!!! I loved hearing it because my grandmother used to say credenza! ❤ I just looked up the difference between a credenza, a sideboard & a buffet. "A credenza is an American term for a dining room cupboard used to serve buffet meals. It may also be used to store or display decorative serving dishes. Credenzas are sometimes smaller and more formal-looking than a sideboard or buffet. They often have no legs or else very short ones." Therefore, when I painted my 40 year old dark-stained dresser a lovely green... it turned it into a credenza! 😊 Now I know what to call it!
lol thanks for the info 🤩
After a rough day it was a lovely surprise to see you've posted another cracking video Jay. What a transformation!!! My grandmother had something like this around the late 60s early 70s. It just goes to show that the quality of a good piece of furniture never goes away. Despite what it may go through over the intervening years and even when it looks like it really should just be firewood someone like you comes along sees the beauty that these 'old bones' once had and cares enough to say 'no, now is not your time to go I'll make you shine for a little longer. I wish more people would see the beauty and potential in the older, the broken and the run down. In fact as I'm typing this I'm thinking that if society treated each other with as much care and respect as you did this sideboard how much nicer existence would be for us all.
As I said it's been a crappy day so thanks for taking my mind off things for a while.
That is literally the best thing I can hope my videos do🤩 hope the rest of the week is much better 💛
@@Flippingdrawers Thanks chuck. Hope your week goes well too. Xxx
You seem to be a very nice and noble person. Greetings from France.
That is beautiful.
This was nothing short of miraculous. When the teaser was posted I could not imagine any redemption for this piece other than its interesting features. I am shocked at the transformation.
Very kind 😻
This turned out beautiful!!!! I can't believe the restoration. And those two sideways drawers are really cool... Whoever came up with that retro part was a genius. And you just as much so for bringing this piece back to glory days.
Who would have thought that garden shed night mare could be revived. Your insight an expertise are wonderful. Beautiful 😊
Thank you 🤩
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS NOW!!🤩 You sir are a true craftsman and I LOVE your videos!😃💗
Thank you so much 😀
I agree!
You must have a huge sense of accomplishment on a piece like this No matter how much work is involved, it has to be super satisfying to see what it became. A worthy addition to any home and the preservation of history for even more years of service to be enjoyed by even more generations. Bravo!
Thank you 🙏
I honestly wouldn’t believe this was the same piece, had I not just watched you do this. This is astonishing! 👏
This is one of the most gorgeous pieces of furniture I've ever seen. The lines, the colors, the size. Everything is just perfect. Never seen pull-out side wings like that before. What an amazing piece. If I lived on the same continent, I'd want to buy it immediately.
It's incredible what you've done! Not only is the piece absolutely gorgeous, but you create such a peaceful energy.
Thank you so much 😀
That poor buffet was trashed when you started! It looks showroom floor NEW in the end!!! You did a fabulous job bringing it back to its original glory! Well done, indeed!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks so much!!
You are so skilled and meticulous! I am impressed!
Wow. You gave it back it's original life. You are a doctor and artist
Thank you 🤩
Holy cow! That’s a remarkable transformation. All the work you put into this really paid off. What a spectacular result!
Thank you! Cheers!
The difference is amazing! I would not have believed this piece could look so good! I love watching your videos! Thank you for posting them!👍😊
You are so welcome!
If I ever have to have any kind of surgery, I hope the performing surgeon would be as successful as you. You brought this back to life and even further enhanced it. Amazing!
It's an education in furniture design to watch you expertly restore these and other pieces. Who would have guessed it had such an elegant design? Such a pleasure to watch your painstaking efforts reveal its craftsmanship.
Such a transformation! Your patience and eye for detail made this a truly stunning piece. Great work!
Thank you so much!
Let’s go for 2000! I’ve watched this video 3 times & it still brings a tear to my eye to see how far you’ve come in your journey 🥲
Ha ha ha awesome 🤩 you’re the best 💛

Jay! It's fantastic! From decrepit to sensational and vibrant. The plum colour was perfect. The whole project turned out amazingly. You artist, you.
Thank you 🙏
At around 16:00 I would venture that those “pull out thingies” were vinyl drawers! Awesome video, thank you!
Awesome result! Wow what a save. Love the kitty encouragements too 😊 ita a beautiful piece now
Thank you! 😊
Amazing:) You are so,so good at what you do. It"s perfect,. Love the color. God Bless. Hugs, Rebekah

Hi Jay well worth all your time and great effort that you put into this transformation, it looks lovely! Great to watch an artist and craftsman at his work 😁
Thanks so much! 😊
Love watching you work. Your attention to detail is a joy to behold. I showed my husband the original a he said he wouldn’t even have bothered to burn it. Lol. He loved the finished piece. You are a truly dedicated artist. Another piece on to a wonderful second life.
Ha ha ha that’s funny. Glad you guys liked it
Holy cow! I didn't think that would ever be beautiful again! Stunning!!
Wow, thank you!
You continually outdo yourself, Jay! What an absolutely beautiful piece! Well done! ❤❤❤

Thank you 😊
Probably the best transformation I've seen.
Just wait to see today’s video 😉💛
Never seen anything like this piece. Love it. Praise Be! It has been reborn!❤️
The revitalization work you do with these furniture is incredible. It was simply sensational, really beautiful. I follow your channel and learn a lot about restoration and especially patience to achieve good transformations. I really like your videos. A hug from Brazil, Pernambuco, Olinda!!!
Awesome, thank you! 💛💛💛
Ok I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Jay is a magician. Can you put the link for your magic dust in the description please? 😂 This is just beautiful. That stain color is amazing….no orange and it’s not too red, like other mahogany stains I’ve seen.
Nice 😊 glad to hear that you like it 🤩
Wow! This is simply stunning. I wasn't sure how I felt about the legs until the reveal - they go beautifully with the black details. I really appreciate you showing/ discussing how much work went into this piece - all that dedication shines through. What a treasure you've created!
Gorgeous. My favorite part: “Emergency cat break”. 😂😂❤❤❤ 🐈
😂😻
What a STUNNING piece! I love the unique features. It was definitely worth saving!
Thank you 😊
Wow! What a great find and what a huge transformation! It turned out so beautiful! What a cool piece of furniture too! Thanks so much for sharing!
Thanks so much! 😊
"Thousand Year's Later"! 😂 You're kill'n me with the suspense! I refuse to skip ahead. I'm in it for the long run!🤣 Awe.....there it is! Well worth the wait! Ah-Mazing!
Wow! Just…WOW!!!
Jay, that’s absolutely beautiful! I think this is my favorite project so far. You really pulled off something amazing!!
I’ve been pouring over the comments, but there must be thousands on this video! I can’t get through them all. So much love from your fans. That has to liven your step 🥰
Wow, thank you! Thanks for joining the premiere 💛
I agree!
Unusual, but beautiful piece! Great restoration! 👏👍✨
Thank you! Cheers!
A simply spectacular result. All your hard work really paid off. Thanks for letting us follow along!
I think that it is a bar. The bottles would have gone in the slide outs on the sides. Beautiful job. Im the same way, I hate to throw anything away. Thats how I learned caning and rushing. People would just toss amazing chairs because they didn't know how to fix them. You on the other hand are a master. Love how organized your shop is.
Agree!
Thank you 🤩
It turned out lovely! That color is rich without being too dark. Beautiful work! (And nice to see the art piece you made for staging!)
Thank you so much!😊
A VERY interesting piece!! Your restoration is remarkable! Who would have thought you would end up with such a gorgeous piece!
WELL DONE!
Thank you! Cheers!
What a save. Simply magic.🎉
"pull out thingies" neighbourhood cats, your videos are a hoot, never mind the exquisite craftsmanship you employ. I could never do what you do, I just enjoy watching you do all the work!
:) :)
I love the design of this piece, even the legs. I can tell already this is going to come out beautiful. ☺
Thank you! 😊
SSSSsssoooo much work poured into this!!! Mad respect!!! Incredibly satisfying on a lot of levels. 😂 Absolutely understand the necessary cat break. 🥰 Mind bloing final results!! 🤯 Totally restored the piece to next long use & appreciation!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Dont laughing to him
😂
