Turning Pink Disaster to a Rustic Beauty + Creating wooden art piece with laser. xTool co2 laser. 

Wow! The previous owners would not recognize it! You art piece is lovely!

Amazing transformation.. 👌 And that flower = wonderful 👏

Definitely eclectic. For me, I’d paint the legs darker. What a journey. I keep picturing Al Pacino and a flame thrower!

Another rescued! Excellent!

I recently watched some of your earlier videos and then I just watched your newest one today and I can see how far you've come in your skills. You do some amazing work and it's a pleasure to watch you develop and grow. Thank you for the great videos.

Lovely how you burnt the wood to get that effect. 😊

I watched this video again today and really put myself into your process with the incredible amount of work you did on this one. Tackling a piece that really looked like garbage to start with, I am sure was a genuine challenge. I know I would not have put that much effort in myself, but you did rescue and turn it into something quite surprising and wonderful. I was mostly just watching your channel on these restorations but found Barry's channel last week, and found that he is friends with you, so I thought that was cool... Now I want to tackle restoring an old dresser I have in my basement studio. Unfortunately, I don't have any tools anymore as I live in a townhouse/condo now that I am so old. My dresser is huge and has a huge mirror and has partitions in the drawers that are painted inside. The dresser is also painted and I have no idea what is under the paint but I know it is well made and even has a compartment with a wooden "lid" inside one of the sections of a top drawer. The hardware is solid brass I am sure and quite fabulous... I am getting so curious now as to what is hiding under the paint... It has a bit of a Victorian look to it, so it has fancy edges and details... It would probably take me a long time to transform it... It's looking like I won't be able to tackle it now that Canadian Winter is around the corner as I will have to get professional movers to take it upstairs and outside next Spring... Gosh, is it just a dream?

I love that you clean the inside and the back.

We are always our own worst critics. While you may feel some kind of way about this piece😉..... I think you did an amazing job. Your techniques and skill brought out the wood grain and it's beauty..... even if your not thrilled, it's beautiful!! Thanks for sharing🥰

Perserverence lol, I'm finding the same thing. I keep my pieces so its only me that suffers with something I don't like. It gives me motivation to change. Thanks for a delightful video.

I'm loving the mini-sander!

With this Dresser you helped calm my evening , Thank you!…

"Type 7 on the Bristol Stool Chart" Accurate. LOL. That flower piece you made is stunning.

It looks like either a kid "decorated" it or it was a first time fixer who had no idea what they were doing. 2000 years later, you turned it back into a nice piece of furniture.

Wow, all those course changes really paid off in the end. What a cool piece this turned out! 😍

All your hard work paid off Jay!! The piece turned out absolutely gorgeous 😍 🖤🤎 And your 3D artwork OMG 😍💜💜

Very pretty love the flower design you made with that computer ! It all looks so nice . I first thought when I seen what you started with that it would be impossible to fix ! You proved me wrong !! Love how you love the kitty’s they are sweet !

Stunning transformation, bravo 👏

beautiful art dresser

shou sugi ban is my most favorite Japanese technique for waterproofing and preserving wood. I love love love house using this technique along with furniture. You did a exquisite job. Oh and the art piece I would love to own 2 of those pieces

Another unique design. 💜

Loved the addition of those legs. Could be used so many places!

An incredible transformation! 🤩

Hi there!! How have you been? Well, I hope. I haven't been around for a while because I've been pretty sick for quite a while. I'm finally beginning to feel a little better, thank the Lord, since I'd just about given up. I have not even been able to sit up and mess with the computer. I sure have missed you and the other pages I watch. You look well and I'm so glad. It's good to see you working your little head off. 😄 It pleased me very much to see you transform this poor old chest of drawers tonight. I love it, and really like those legs. The black gives the lighter color such lovely contrast. The handles you chose are perfect. Love the cat, too. I don't think I've seen this beautiful black beauty. So, you keep on doing well and remember how happy you make us by what you create. Be well. Blessings... ❤

Once again, you impress me with giving attention to those parts that are not seen. True craftsmanship. Sorry, but just can’t warm up to that burnt wood finish. Now, the back looked awesome, like the choice of drawer pulls. As for cats, I’m right there with you.

Very different and I love it.

Probably others thought this same thing, but we thought you were going to attach your 3D art onto the dresser somehow! We thought you might just attach it flat to the top off to the side and just have it be a pretty detail. I also thought maybe you’d attach it to the drawers and then cut it so that the pieces broke apart when the drawers were open. But finally we realized that the 3D art was just a break to make something beautiful but not related to the dresser at all. Anyway, the dresser and the multi-dimensional blossom are wonderful! I love those kitties, too. They are just darling floofs.

Fabulous!

Love it ❤

She is all dressed up and ready to live another day! Nicely done! I was a bit shocked when I groaned (you were getting ready to do the burn finish) and you replied to me saying don’t unsubscribe yet. Funny but a bit spooky! A++🎉

So creative....ty!

As always, Good Job!

nicely done!

Jay…how amazing that challenge was!!! Beautiful Craftsman-Jay, you went over and above the call of your creativity! It was “ooglie” and victimized! You brought it to a transcendent transformation. It went from being perhaps a bedroom chest of drawers for a child, to a men’s office furniture look that is breathtaking!!! It looks like a good piece for an architect to store his blueprints….CLASSY!!!! I just love it!😮😮😮😮❤❤❤❤😅😅😅😅😊😊😊😊WOW!!!

Wonderful video Aziza. I love Aubergine. I wish that we could get the quality that you have here, but alas.

Nice

"Anyway I'm just do lot of sanding to keep you entertained." Come on, the sanding is for you, we're just coming along for the ride. Lol

Результат - просто Шанель от мебели! Татьяна, Москва, Россия 🇷🇺

Looks good. Did you consider something more industrial for the feet at all?

Good job, I shall make the feet also black.

Can you move the feet more to the outside corner. Looks spindly and weak to my eye. It's strong but you know what I mean. ?

Your funny. Beautiful !!!

Oh my goodness!! That poor little chest of drawers needed a LOT of love! When you applied the oil, I could almost hear the wood absorbing it. The end result was fantastic!! You gave that sad little chest of drawers an elegant restoration! Well done, sir!!!

I love that you restore things of age saving them from landfill (which is already overpopulated) but the beauty of your pieces. ❤️👏❤️

The 3D artwork is amazing. I feel for you sometimes because I think some of the pieces you tackle aren't worthy of the amount of effort you put into them. However, you seem to really like the challenge, and there's always the potential to learn a new skill or technique. Plus, you always end up resurrecting these pieces and giving them a new life.

Lovely! And thank you for putting the screw head grooves horizontal 😊

Such an elegant piece ❤ I love your work, you have an incredible skills and imagination to give to every one of your pieces a different look and personality! Please don't stop making this videos ever 😁 Thank you, have a great day!

Oh my goodness! This is not what I was expecting you to do with this monstrosity. It looks great now! I agree with you on the color of the first stain! I did a howl laugh at that! 😂 The cats hear you outside & they come running. 😻 So cute. I like your cat tee shirt too.

You always do a great job of repairing and finishing. Such as cutting the thin strips to cover up defects. That is how I do all of my edge banding. I make my own and never buy the factory edging.

As a retired nurse, I appreciated your reference to the Bristol scale was quite appropriate 😊. This piece turned out very well considering what you started with. Love seeing the wood grain pattern in the top.

Amazing transformation. Only thing I’m not sure about is the legs but that is very personal. Absolutely love the 3D design. ❤

I love the color contrast. You did very well picking it! I was hoping you were going to use that beautiful laser design you made on it and wanted to see where you were going to place it. I hope you use it soon on another project! I think you are so talented and creative - your thought processes are that of an artist/designer, not a typical woodcraftsman's. 🐱

Amazing transformation! It turned out beautifully. Those name-tag thingies that you covered the keyholes with really dress it up nicely. And your laser-art flower really turned out nice too!

The lovely thing about rustic is you don't have to have things perfect. As long as it is solid and level, the finish can embrace imperfections and even some gouging and dents you might otherwise want to fill or even replace pieces of wood.

WoW. A ton of work, but an absolute masterpiece. Well done. Your work never disappoints 🙏❣️

That really turned out great! Has a real retro feel. Well done!❤️

Wow!! You went in a direction that I was not expecting! No one would ever believe that was the same chest of drawers if they have not watched this video. Amazing, amazing work!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

This turned out so well from a mess. I truly enjoy watching your transformations, Jayy

I love the wood burning technique and this little guy turned out so cool. I also love the merch design and the laser art! That laser cutter is really rad.

Wow! What a transformation! I wonder if it had been a changing table for a baby in it's former life. ❤

The artwork is lovely - adds texture and interest to the photo without distracting from the piece you’re staging. I love what you ended up doing with the dresser - those label holders give it an apothecary cabinet vibe that’s really charming!

First off, I love your Samurai statue. Secondly that was a beautiful makeover of a dresser that was in such a sad state. I never would’ve even thought about doing shou sugi ban on the dresser but it really sets the piece off.

That was a long road, but you got there in the end. Thank you for sharing this and for the giggles!

Beautiful end result!! Poor chest needed your rescue touch. I love pieces like this that have their own personality and you give them a new life.

Love this piece and the contrast with the drawers. I enjoy your trials with color and finish and that you show us the whole process of the design evolving as it happens. You are an artist.

What a task to transform this piece! Nice.

Jay, I feel your frustration over this project and piece. As always, it turned out amazing. I was worried you were planning to burn it up when the torch came out 😮😅. I absolutely love the 3D piece you created. By the way, I believe this is the first time I’ve seen you use the air sanders. They work amazingly well. Also, Hugo was adorable in this video. Clearly he loves his cuddle time with you.

Another beautiful transformation. I love the way you can see the hidden beauty in these pieces and have the skill to bring them back to life.

This one was a lot of work and you have great patients. I love how this turned out it has rustic charm and so much character, those legs are so cute they make the piece look as though it could run off down the hallway at any minute.

The 3d printing is amazing!

The way you turn a piece of trash into treasure is always amazing to watch! Your 3D art looks great too!

I really, really like that one! It may be the biggest transformation you’ve done. It would look good in an office. And thank you for showing all the ups and downs and change of plans. It helps us not feel crazy when we do that🤗❤️🐝 oh! I love the wooden flower you made. I could look at that for hours tracing the lines. I know…. I’m strange lol🤗

Seeing the condition of the wood, and just the overall original build quality - I didn't think it was worth saving. But what you did with it and the end result, is absolute magic! Amazing work!

Yes that makes sense. I love how you put pieces of broken wood back together with actual wood. So refreshing. Beautiful work on this piece. You have a gift!

I always love the way you select pieces that are a challenge and this was no exception. I have to say at this point that I absolutely hate the trend to burn everything in sight and call it good. On this occasion I am dubious but still feel that a black stain, similar to the one you used on the handles may have been a better choice, but that's my dislike of burning taking over. I have never heard the phrase Batman Hardware before and intend to use it whenever I can. Brilliant description. The end product was as good as could be expected from what you had to work with and I cannot find any faults in your repairs. Keep 'em coming and look after your visitors/inspectors.

Nothing would be possible without Cat's consultancy and supervision!

I’d watch you for the random cats anyway, but you’re so creative with your ideas that your channel fascinates me! Like your sense of humor, too!

“And I hated it.” You are so honest and entertaining at the same time. I could not guess where you would end up with this piece but you did good.

This piece is phenomenal. Loved how it turned out. Thanks for sharing.

I am laughing right now. I saw that stain you mixed and ( being a life long healthcare worker) thought to myself, “That actually looks like s#*t!” 🤣🤣🤣😎. Anyway, I kept thinking, ok now he’s gonna give up and paint it…..NOPE! You conquered the beast and ended up with such a gorgeous magical piece. Only you Jay! Thanks for sharing. I always look forward to your posts.

Very impressive transition.

Reminds me of a circus tent. Great job , as usual. Love all the neighborhood cats, they obviously love you !

Thanks for helping me appreciate that even experts have to resort to trial and error sometimes. Though it took a few tries, I think the result was much more than acceptable, especially considering the state the piece was in when you started. Another example of kindling turned into a beautiful accent.

You are simply the best ❤❤❤❤❤❤🧓🏻🌵👍🏼👏🏼🙏🇺🇸🍎

Fantastic result. I would love to own this.

Do the cats ever jump up on something that is drying? You designed a brilliant solution! You are so innovative. The custom art piece is beautiful. Thanks for sharing! Peace and love..Suz What ☮️💛

Neighborhood cats are like grandchildren. They come for a visit, you enjoy their company and spoil them, and then send them home. 😀

Beautiful change!

I had great doubts, but you made it beautiful. I would say again, but I don't think that even new that it was beautiful.

That was quite the journey. But I love the results!

I love it. That was ingenious torching it. The grain on top really popped after the torching.❤

Your talent is limitless. I am so impressed with your you're uniqueness, and style of your pieces. You're very, very creative 💕

You took that chest of drawers from life support and breathed new life into it. Bravo.

Hey Jay, this piece really turned out sharp looking. I really like the whole different style you did. Sometimes that happens to us. We think we know what we want yet when it’s done it’s not even close. What you did for the last time was perfecto. I like style of handles n the cute little piece you used for the key holes. And the legs another perfecto. Nice shape to them. I truly admire you n especially how you take so much pride in your work. Aren’t you glad you gave up your job so you can be doing what you love ( and your good at it too). ♥️♥️♥️😊👍👍👍🌟🌟🌟 PS. I like that new sander you used the smaller one. You’ve got more tools (some great ones too) more than Carter has pills. 😆😆

Мастер, мне очень нравится, как устроена Ваша мастерская, большое количество и разнообразие инструментов! Нравится Ваш юмор! Желаю вам счастья!

I think you do a fantastic job and what I like best is you admit you hate something and you redo it. I think that happens more with other people who restore things than they want to admit. You want to get it just right which says a lot about the quality of your work. I also really like your voiceovers. Thank you.

You did it again you took a piece that most people wouldn't touch and make it usable again !!! Love From OKLAHOMA

I meant to comment on the wood accent you made to stage this chest of drawers. It’s pretty great!

Wow!!! I'm always impressed with your work, but this one blew me away. And that laser cut flower is gorgeous!!!

It always blows my mind that the cats don't seem to mind all the noise and movement when you're working. I'm loving your extremely cool new tools! I'm not a pinewood fan but it is a useful wood...to paint over. Yeesh, I just don't like the knots and yellow tint. That's just my opinion though, it's good for about 2 cents. The piece did turn out very rustic!
