Oh i thought youre like an older man whos normally featured in these kind of restoration videos. But hi there and great work!

@Socialmilliondave 2 года назад

@modernmakeover great job

@jxl180 2 года назад

The narration completely ruins the video. Every time I wanted to hear the natural sounds of the tools, sanding, scraping, etc, the voice over comes in to add nothing of value to the video.

@DPHAngelPookz 2 года назад

That’s why you should go to his channel :)

Well, sometimes you have to stop and think.. Restoration stands for restoring, not remaking. Great job, you saved that dresser's life!

@smgp2023 2 года назад

im so early lol amazing restoration, i wish more people could get into this type of hobby. Let's reuse more and repair as much as possible, it's def a good help to our environment. 💚

@denissetiawan3645 2 года назад

Agree, should've stick to the original. Then again, the channel name is makeover not restoration.

@Ass_of_Amalek 2 года назад

weird choice to use such narrow veneer strips, and the old veneer would have probably come off easier with water plus heat instead of just heat, since it's most likely hide or bone glue (gelatine). soak it in water first, then steam it with a wet rag and clothes iron. alternatively, if you want to crack open a hide/bone clue joint dry by utilizing its brittleness, it helps a lot to let some drops of 95%+ ethanol soak into the joint, that causes the glue to crack a lot easier (especially old glue joints) while not weakening the wood - though of course it does damage most wood finishes, so it needs to be applied very sparingly. that's what violin makers like myself use to open violins or crack off their fingerboards (small drops of alcohol on a butter knife used as a wedge).

@snakedoktor6020 2 года назад

That is a very cool old dresser, but I think he ruined it with those veneer strips. The top did not look good at all.

.. why not use a full sheet of veneer instead of edge banding strips?

Wait my whole life is a lie, they just attach those stuff to a normal piece of wood.

I always thought that veneer was a poor quality product.

@jacobbwalters8133 2 года назад

Veneer is a thin strip of high quality wood, usually teak, mahogany, or walnut. It is traditionally placed on top of lower quality woods like pine or birch. Newer pieces sometimes use cheaper base materials like particle board, which are more difficult to restore and less structurally sound.

@cap8032 2 года назад

I find this kind of stuff satisfying.

Dear narrator, thank you for telling us what we can already see and what's so obvious and you do not have to be saying at all.

@AngelBlood97 2 года назад

but...thats what a narrator does, they narrate and here she has the job to narrate what the video shows. Why even make an effort to write such a stupid comment. Did it ever cross your mind that not everyone has a hive brain so everyone knows exactly every time, everywhere and experience everything together and know the same knowledge from the get go to the same time? well apparently not.

@ShepGibson 2 года назад

@@AngelBlood97 Wow… someone came out swingin’! Pretty sure we all know what a narrator does. Maybe give the commenter a break for having an opinion about how narrators should sound?

@AlexanderLakidon 2 года назад

I stopped watching the video when I saw edge veneer being used on a surface. It tells me of one thing - the person doing it is not a professional. Which raises the question - why do you bother making a video featuring an amateur???

@AnastaziaValvaine 2 года назад

this is pro work no question. BUT sorry for my honest opinion: you have to see that this furniture is old, not new. Now it looks like fresh from the factory - or even worse: from IKEA. target completely missed. I also restore old cars, especially the interior of cars. Here the goal is always: Original Condition, and not according to whim. This furniture doesn't look like 100 years old. it`s like brandnew. history furniture like this always loses its soul if you don't do it the right way. you can compare it easily by stopping the video at 05:12 - then compare it.
