You know how much I love Daisy, and your friend/helper is a handsome devil, isn't he? Thanks, David.
Hahaha thanks Molly, I’ll pass on your comments to my friend 😂😂😘
As always, it's good to Daisy being her charming self. I also enjoy your emerging sense of humor, too bad you can't really clone yourself! The work would go twice as fast 🙂! Turning the drawer slides upside down was genius. It reminds me of Jay at Flipping drawers turning drawer bottoms up side down when they are damaged. I learn something from every one of your videos. Thank you for sharing this with us. The end result was very handsome. I'm sure your customer was pleased!💜💜💜
Hi Anita, once again such lovely comments from you. I love Jays work and we’ve exchanged a few comments to each other recently. Thanks so much for your support 😀😀😀❤️
Your client will be sooooo pleased. What a beautiful job.
You’re very kind, thanks 😀😀
I have this Stag Minstrel furniture and have long wanted it to be painted. More so now I have seen the gorgeous results. No brush marks no runs no streaking! What a craftsman you are. You make it look so easy. However anything done well with skill and knowledge does look easy. Well done. But! Just know that you have made me even more discontent with my furniture and you are too far away. Grrrrrrrr Good thing Daisy was there so soothe my feeling. What a gorgeous little dog she is. Keep vlogging.
Hi Pamela. You always leave such lovely comments. I really appreciate your support 😀😀
7 months late but look in your local area. Furniture restorers and even builders like I am mostly are everywhere
Beautiful transformation, this tall guy got a new life! Daisy is the cutest!!! 😍😍😍
Hi Graciela, thanks you so much and I’ll pass your comments on to Daisy. She’s asleep next to me 😀😀🐶❤️
Beautiful transformation and thank you for the Daisy clip. She is so sweet.🥰
Hi Jeanette. Thanks, she is a little sweetie 😀😀🐶
Nice job. I like when you also give it paint and wood look as in your newer videos as well as gold trimming to accent. You are quite the artist and its nice to see how you have broaden your skill level and factors in only just a year!
Thats very kind, thanks so much 😃❤️
My father was a woodworker, and he had a "Daisy", too....but she was a Shelty named "Sassy". I would sit in his shop and chat him up while he was working. So much of the work you do reminds me of his pieces - so beautiful!
Thats such a lovely comment and I love that my channel can bring back happy memories ❤️
For the small pieces I painted I went to a local glazier and had pieces of plate glass cut to size for the tops to stop the painted surfaces from getting scratched.
😀👍❤️
I think you're one of the best in this category so you should have 100K subscribers in no time!🥂
Wow, thanks! My dream would be to get to the point where I could do this thing i love and be in a position to give the finished piece to someone in need or sell and donate the proceeds to charity. Maybe one day.😃❤️
@@MayfieldRestorations I have a feeling you'll get your wish 😉😁
Wow I bet your customer was absolutely over the moon. Fantastic. Hug for Daisy.
Hi Andrew. She was really pleased with all the pieces. I’ve given Daisy a cuddle from you 😀😀🐶🐶
Beautiful work as always. I am very surprised at how much I like the gray with gold hardware! I would never have thought to pair them, but I think it looks very sharp!
Hi Sue. Really pleased you liked the end result 😀😀👍
great transformation! Your paint job is impeccable!
Thanks so much Laura, you’re really kind. 😀😀
I love the way you save pieces of furniture that look as if they'll never have another life. I understand that this restoration was at a customers request and the customer is always right.
I love good wood furniture even if it isn't fashionable but I was sad to see this lovely wood painted. After you oiled and cleaned it it came up so well. Love your videos.
Hi Doreen, thanks very much for your lovely comment. I understand that not everyone likes painted furniture. I just try to do what I can to save this old quality furniture whether thats painting or restoring. Thanks for your continued support 😀😀
Oooh... Too beautiful 💕 🌻.. I'll just add this to my arsenal of D&D pieces 😘
PS: I saw that longing look in Daisy's eyes, she's definitely missing me 💕🌻
hahaha Your D&D arsenal.....love it!! I'm happy to share my Daisy with you but she's all mine!! hahaha Thanks for always making me laugh with your comments😃🐶❤️
@@MayfieldRestorations 😘
I don’t like when wood furniture is painted. I love it in its natural state. But you did a good job with this set. Thank you for sharing.😊😊
👍
Well that turned out brilliantly. I really like the grey.
Hi Chanda. Thanks very much 😀😀
Very stylish!
Hi. Thankyou very much 😀😀
Very simple, very lovely. 😚 Daisy!
Thanks Gail, not very exciting but I was happy with the final finish on them 😀😀👍
Great restoration job! Thanks!!❤
I love seeing your attention to detail on the inside of these pieces. That area most often goes ignored, but it does make a difference in how the piece functions. Even if I can't see a particular area, it bugs me to know I've done a half-ass job. For example, I always made my hand-sewn clothing as neat on the inside as the outside. My grandmother did intricate embroidery for over 50 years, and the back of her work was as perfect as the front. The "Dose of Daisy" is such a pleasure. We never tire of seeing her. Cheers from Oklahoma!!!
Hi Maribob. My attention to detail stems a little bit from my slight OCD i think but in this job I personally think it a plus!! My outlook when I do all of these jobs is "Would it be good enough to put in my house?" I'm quite fussy so if the answer is "Yes" then i know ive done a good job 😂😀❤
The color is beautiful and you did a wonderful job 👍😀
Thanks so much Barbara 😀😀
Well done. Your customer will be satisfied for sure.
Hi Beata, she was really pleased with them 😀😀👍
BEAUTIFUL! Nice color! The gold goes wonderfully with the grey! Enjoyed the video. Daisy is lovely! Thanks so much for sharing
Hi Sophia. Thanks so much. Some people don’t like the gold but personally I like it 😀😀
Champion job that is , cant fault it.
Cheers Lofty 😀👍
Amazing…
Thanks 😄
I caught on to your runner trick just before you revealed it in the video! I always love the dovetail joints detail. This is a beautiful masculine set for a gentleman’s bedroom.
Thank you very much! 😃
Simple, peaceful, elegant' beautiful. Perfect for bedroom! Thank you!
Glad you like it!😀😀
Hi David👋, thanks for another enjoyable video. Nice to see a painted set. A lovely, contemporary result 👏😊
Hi. Thanks for watching. Not everyone likes me painting but variety is the spice of life 😀😀👍
I agree. I love the wood and at least try to stain the tops. But on some pieces such as these, painting is the better option due to the quality of the wood veneer etc. beautiful job and I’m positive your client loved them. I believe we should do what the client wants bc the customer is always right lol.
Thanks for another great video.
Very Lovely am sure the customer is going to be very happy with them.
Daisy 🥰🥰
Hi, the customer loved them. 😀😀
I love it! The color is beautiful.
Thanks so much 😀😀😀
Beautiful. I love Daisy, she's adorable
Thankyou 😀🐶❤️
Good job! Love the color.
Thanks so much Cheryl 😀😀
At first I didn’t like your color choice, but once it was on the piece my opinion changed. It will go with any color scheme of the room. No top coat? What brand of paint? Love Miss Daisy. Do you shave her coat? It looks very nice. English Cocker? Or maybe in the UK she’s just a Cocker. I like the way you narrate your videos too, showing us the important steps. Just lovely work. 💚
Hi Shari. Thanks for your great comments, the paint is an Acrylic eggshell by a UK company called Johnstones. It doesn't need a top coat but sometimes i add one for extra protection. I actually added a coat of Howard's Feed n wax to this but forgot to film it. Daisy is an English cocker and the SHOW Cocker variety in the colour Blue Roan. I groom her myself and the last two cuts I have shaved her for the summer months but i usually use a stripping comb and trim her legs/ears etc. She's due another cut right now actually. Thanks for your support.😃🐶
This piece has spectacular wood grain. I loved Your choice of music. It was so calming.
😀👍
Stunning and inspiring. Painting, rather than staining, worked very well - evoked a much older era (Georgian?) than the ugly 1980s finish. 1980s seems like yesterday but the original finish smacked of a pastiche of ghastly dark brown 1930s products.
Thanks Stephen 😀👍
Found you by Jay, I like what I see here so I’m binge watching to catch up, looking forwards to a combo with jay at some point,
Greetings from an expat in Germany 👍🏻
Hello there and thanks very much for your support. Jay is a great bloke and is really helping me navigate the world of UA-cam. Keep your eye out as we're going to be doing a collaboration soon. 😀😀👍
Beautiful and much nicer for the painting. x
Thanks Lyndsey 😀😀
Another piece of now outdated furniture brought back to life. Really impressive. BTW, we’re you pleased with paint which contains the primer?
Thanks Mother, yeah, thepaint came out lovely xxx😀❤️
I am in love with your work and with lovely Daisy! 🙂🙂🙂🐶🐶🐶❤❤❤
Thank you so much! I love my Daisy too 😀🐶❤️
Very Chic bravo 😊
Thank you! Louise 😊
They look fabulous. It looks like there has been a little too much weight in the drawers. Stag used wooden drawer runners as they thought the alternatives cheapened the product. These pieces have lasted well, I have seen pieces in far better condition but these have obviously been well used. I really liked the Stag Minstrel when I first saw it, their bespoke fitted wardrobes were stunning.
Yeah, the Stag furniture is still really popular here 😀👍
Looks like brand new, modern furniture. Well done! And as always, thank you for Daisy ❤️
Hi Rhiannon. Thanks very much. Daisy says hi 😀🐶❤️
@@MayfieldRestorations I love the wee Daisy. Hug her for me.
Wow David I think it's absolutely beautiful, I can't fault it. I'm assuming the client chose the colour, I love Grey in a home setting it's a calming colour, it's not for everyone but I think it's absolutely gorgeous. I bet daisy loved it too. Xx
Hi Freyja, thanks very much. Yeah, the customer chose the colour. I actually love grey but I know it’s not to everyone’s taste . 😀😀🐶🐶
Lovely work and thanks for the drawers runner tip!
Thanks and you’re welcome 😀😀
They look fantastic (same shade of grey as we’ve used I think). Thanks for demonstrating the faulty drawer runners. We have painted a few stags and they’ve been fine, except the chests of drawers , as you showed, the drawers keep dropping. We did fill with a bit of wood filler but we’ll try your method. Many thanks.
Hi J, glad I could help 😀😀👍👍
Inadequate drawer runners has been a thing, even on relatively expensive units since 1970s. Modern steel ball bearing full depth runners are one of the great improvements I do appreciate. IronmongeryDirect - love you!
Just had the Ironmongery Direct catalogue through the post. Its a great read. 😂👍
Nice job, and that’s a great tip on the bottom drawer.
Loved seeing Daisy-oh, those puppy dog eyes! 🥺
Thank you! 😊🐶❤
Yet again another great transformation, stag furniture is lovely, I prefer it painted, keep the videos coming, I'm a fan of your work, you are so talented, love to Daisy, shes a gem
Thanks so much Marie, much appreciated 😀😀
pleasant audio thankyou
😀👍
Beautiful job as always!
Thank you so much 😊
BEAUTIFUL
Thank you! 😊
Lovely colour, they all turned out beautifully
Thanks so much Jane 😊
Beautiful work! You made them much more stylish and modern. Next time, put a treat in your pocket for Daisy!! Cheers :)
Hi Sher. Thanks so much. Don’t worry, Daisy gets plenty of treats 🤣🤣🐶🐶
A very stylish transformation! Great job.
Thanks very much Gina 😀👍
That is very clean and eye-catching! Bravo!
Thank you very much! 😀
Another great job Daisy and David 👏👏👍
Thanks very much Michael 😀🐶👍
This is amazing. Quite often I see you start painting and my reaction is like "grey? seriously?" and then I see the final result and what a surprise this is. Nevery expected it to look so beautiful. Thanks for that
Hahaha thanks Tina, I get a lot of comments like that. So pleased you liked then end result 😀😀
I would loge to see what some stag stuff looks like sanded back and just waxed, would it be nice?
I’ve thought that too but it seems the fashion is to have it painted. I have done a piece of stag and left the tops wood and they looked really nice 😀😀
That has turned out fantastic
Thanks very much 😀👍
My Aunt has this furniture but hers dates from the mid sixties. They must have made that pattern for a very long time if these were from the eighties.
Hi Julie, I think they did. These were labelled with a manufacturing date on 87😃
Like that clever fix for the innards of the drawer slides and then the painting of the tongue and groove. Will be doing that .
Glad I could give some handy tips. Thanks Nancy😃
Fantastic work!!
Thanks very much Jacqueline
Very nice job!
Thank you very much!😀
BEAUTIFUL!!
Thank you so much😃
Fantastic x
Thanks Bridget 😀😀
Beautifully done. Personal preference....I would have put silver handles on a gray background.
A few have said that whilst some love the gold. 😀👍
I'd have done silver - and been wrong. His sense of colour is excellent and, to me, sometimes surprising in a very good way
Oh no just finished watching all your videos .. all were fantastic and can't wait for your new ones ❤
Thanks for watching them all 😃❤️
Good job! Beautiful color!🌷🌷
Thank you Nadir! 😊
Very beautiful
Thanks again Linda 😀😀
YOUR PIECES TURNED OUT BEAUTIFUL AND YOU DID A QUALITY JOB AT REFINISHING THEM. I HAVE TAKEN A LIKING TO THE COLOR OF GRAY. THE GRAY YOU USED IS A PERFECT SHADE - NOT TOO LIGHT, NOT TOO DARK. I HAVE ACTUALLY SEEN WHERE ENTIRE ROOMS WERE COLORS OF BLACK, GRAY AND WHITE - SOMETHING LIKE WE USED TO SEE ON OUR BLACK AND WHITE TV'S. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT NOW THAT WE CAN PRINT IN COLOR, THEPAST BLACK ANDGRAY IS USED FOR GETTING YOUR ATTENITON. A POP OF COLOR USED TO BE USED TO GRAB ONE'S ATTENTION. IT'S INTERESTING HOW THAT WORKS OUT. U KIVE WGAT TGET;VE DIBE TI SERVE AS KEGS TI TGUS DRESSER, U GATE TGISE RIYBDM SKABTED KEGS, I HATED THOSE LEGS INCE THEY CAME OUT WITH THE MID-CENTURY FURNITURE. MY OLD NEIGHBORS AT THE BEGINNING OF THEIR MARRIAGE HAD SOME MID-CENTURY MODERN BUILT BY A FAMOUS FURNITURE MAKER. THEY STILL HAD THE FURNITURE WHEN THEY BOTH DIED. I'LL BET IT WAS WORTH A PRETTY PENNY. (i JUST HEARD YOU SAY THE AINT WAS A BROWN. HMM, IT STILL LOOKS GRAY TO ME, LOL!
Hi Laura. Thanks for your continued support and taking the time to comment. Much appreciated 😀👍
I see you brought your twin in to help...lol clever editing..as usual your pieces came out fantabulous!! ❤❤
Hi Kim. He’s my long lost twin 🤣🤣 Thanks for your support 😀😀
Perfect
Thanks so much 😀😀
Hello! It's my 1st time here! Love your work but I'd come back just for Daisy!
Hahaha I fully understand, Daisy is my little superstar 🐶🐶❤️
Every time I see grey, it reminds me of battleship grey, which I’m not a fan of. Although it’s now how I would of done the pieces, you did a beautiful job for the client.
Thanks 😀😀
I had this very same furniture in the first house I bought...🙄wish I'd kept it now as I really like what you did with it
Hi Lyn, thanks very much 😀😀
That was an easy work compared to other that you did, but a good idea coupling the tallboy
with the night tables!!
Thanks Sue 😀😀
Very nice Work 😊👋
Thanks Lilly 😀👍
Nice paint job Dave, they look great Mate have a nice day !!! .😀😀😀👍👋👋
Cheers Brian, have a good one. 😀👍
Let’s have a look 😊
💜💜💜
Thanks for watching Jay 😀👍
❤️
@@MayfieldRestorations forgot to write the after comment 😂 nice work 👌
Great video - gives me the confidence to give it a try! Can you let me know - what sander do you use and what grit paper is it? Also I saw the paint included a primer - what make of paint was it and what rate of dilution did you do for the sprayer! Many thanks!
Hi Gavin, glad I’ve given you the confidence to have a go. I use two sanders mainly, a Festool Rotex 90mm (expensive but it’s 3 sanders in one) and my 125mm Dewalt Random orbital which is a great sander and not that expensive (around £80) I only tend to use 120g and 240g sandpaper. The paint is use is an acrylic eggshell by Johnstones and when it comes to diluting to spray I tend to just do it by eye as I know the consistency I’m looking for. Just don’t add too much water at once, you don’t need much 😀👍
Beautiful work👍🤍
Thank you so much 👍😀
Just a thought: Daisy in dusty workshop without a mask... never occurred to me before. Even sniffing clothes impregnated with dust from wood and varnish. Reminds me to put my work gear into washing machine after soaking and rinsing out dust that could clog up the wm
Hi Stephen, I am careful as to when i let Daisy in to the workshop, she's not in there all the time. I do have an industrial extractor as well as my sanders being hooked up to dust extraction. I appreciate your concern though, its very thoughtful, thanks 😀👍🐶
That looks lovely!. I have just bought a stag bureau and have never done anything like this before. Can i ask do you ever use varnish stripper? I have started to sand it, but i can still see the varnish, and i dont want to paint over that. Can i also ask what grit sandpaper you use? Do you ever sand through the veneer? I am nervous that will go through it by mistake!
Hi Fiona, I do use stripper especially if it’s veneered as it’s more than possible to sand through veneer. You could also try a carbide scraper but stag furniture topcoat is normally quite tough so stripper would probably be best. 😀😀
@MayfieldRestorations Thank you, that's really helpful.
I have a stag minstrel tall boy. I will be using Frenchic paint with primer. Do I need to sand before use? Thank you.
Personally I would clean, dry then scuff sand slightly. 😀👍
This looks great! Given me some guidance for painting my stag minstrel bedroom set. A couple of the pieces have a really strong musty smell from the previous house I bought them from and was wondering if you had any tips on how to remove it. Thanks!
Hi Alex, glad my video has helped. Regarding musty smells you can try using a white vinegar and water wash which is good at deodorising the wood. Alternatively if that doesn't work then you would need to seal the bare wood inside the furniture with something like a shellac or a lacquer. You could also try using the howards feed n wax which will not only feed the wood but also it has a strong orange scent which may mask the smell. Some scented furniture waxes could also help. 😀👍
@@MayfieldRestorations thank you for replying. I’ll give those a go! Thanks for the advice
Hi. Great job. What setting/speed do you use on your spray gun. Currently paint by hand but spraying gives a great finish. Thanks.
Hi John, unfortunately there isn’t one single setting, it really depends on the viscosity of the material being sprayed. I tend to water down paint to a “single Cream” like consistency and test the spray pattern using different settings and once I’m happy I just go for it 😀👍
I'm just considering painting exactly this suite with the dressing table and four poster bed. Just can't decide on a stylish colour combination ........ Regards
Good luck with yours 😀👍
@@MayfieldRestorations Thank you, the challenge is to do it right once, isn't it ? I'm not concerned about the actual preparation or the painting itself, but the selection of a colour scheme which will suit both the furniture and the room it now lives in, much smaller than the bedroom in the UK. I'll also have to include a nod towards deeply rural Spain where I now live, and the local matrons are known to wander in for the occasional 'inspection'. Regards
@@ourfarmhouseinspain Keep it very simple. Look at furniture sold in Spain.. often in soft white.. the four poster if it has drapes would look good with soft muslin or voile!
@@adrianwillis2875 Adrian, you are correct that simplicity is the key. I'll be using a soft tone with a light colour accent which will suit the house and the culture here. I have renovated a farmhouse deep in the countryside here, and have the 'benefit' of occasional inspections by small groups of village matrons - never the men - who just happen to be 'passing by' the house which is over a kilometre from the village. I'm fortunate that they like me, and are genuinely curious about the house. The men are often unhappy with these visits because the ladies go home with ideas. The odd cooking lesson has raised my status somewhat too. Lovely people. Regards
Is Stag a brand or a descriptive word? Either way it's gorgeous. And 💕🐾🌸
Hi. STAG is a well known brand here in the UK. If you look at Etsy you’ll see many painted STAG pieces 😀👍
Can I ask please what paint you used and the dilution ratios. I have a bedroom set I would love to do. It's absolutely stunning very talented.
Hi Dawn. I actually use an acrylic Eggshell paint by a company called Johnstones. Regarding the dilution, I just do it by eye and I know the consistency I need to spray. It’s sort of like a consistency between single and double cream. Sorry that’s not very helpful 😀
♥️♥️♥️
😀❤️
Would have done handles either silver or black.
That’s fAir enough Barbara. 😀👍
What type of paint is it you used? I love the finish
It’s acrylic eggshell paint 😀👍
Hi, what is the name of the tool that you used to remove the damaged drawer runner? Thanks.
It’s a painters multi tool. Here is the Amazon link. amzn.to/3DdTdMn
Thank you 👍
Hello. What grade did you use to Scuff sand tops please?
Hi John, I used 120Grit on the Random orbital sander.😃👍
Hi, what spray gun do you use? Thanks
Hi Julie. I have the Wagner Flexio 590 😀👍
Beautiful do you only do one coat of paint❤
I tend to do two coats but dont always film both coats. Apologies if I forgot to mention this is the video 😀👍
Beautiful paint job. I love the cor!
Thanks Cynthia 😀😀
Beautiful job, I’m keeping mine original but don’t know how to get rid of blooming and scratches . I keep polishing but it doesn’t work 😢 Any pointers would be gratefully received
Hi Adriana. Have you tried using "Howard's Restor-a-finish"? This can have good results depending on the severity of the scratches. 😃
@@MayfieldRestorations I will definitely try that thank you. Will it get rid of the blooming issue?
@@adrianawhelan4856I’ve tried to get rid of scratches on minstrel pieces the problem is originally it was sprayed with tinted lacquer and is very difficult to match, if the blooming is heat marks from hot cups you can try a dry iron over a tea towel this works well.
@@TryDiy thank you. The blooming happened after it had been in storage for 6 months, the other pieces are all fine - it’s odd only one piece bloomed 🤷🏼♀️
Those came out lovely although I thought you would refinish.
It’s quite a popular thing in the UK to paint Stag furniture. 😀😀
