As I watched you spend 2000 years and one eternity restoring this gorgeous table, I couldn't help thinking that the original artisan who spent 2000 years and one eternity making it is smiling from heaven at what you've done.

You basically took something that was almost completely dead, and gave it life back, with an amount of patience that I could never have. I'm amazed and speechless, SUBLIME work!

Stunning. Such artistry. Thank you for making an old lady look beautiful again. ❤

Just beautiful, my friend. Wow- that was a ton of work!

Such a phenomenal restoration! The new table is stunning! I love how Hugo always uses the same excuse for not helping lol. You really and truly do magnificent work!

If that table could speak it would say “Thank You for seeing the life that was beneath the dust, soot and wood damage. With your eye for detail and consideration of all my different components you brought my beauty to the surface again so I may shine brightly in the sun. “ Another job done outstandingly !!!!

I’m always in awe of people who really have vast, in-depth knowledge of a subject. You are aware of so many techniques and facts, it’s astounding. I would never have dared to even use a sheet of sandpaper, let alone a sander. And the patience is admirable. No cutting of corners or getting fed up and hence rushing the process. The result is absolutely fantastic!

“the lack of opposing thumbs was his (Hugo’s) excuse for not helping me…”. THAT was funny. Great video.

I'm so glad that you left the main part of the table light and naturally wood colored. It always saddens me when beautiful wood is covered up by paint or dark stain. To me, nothing looks better than the natural colors and patterns of wood as it is.

Man hours x the going rate for professional restoration = a king’s ransom. You were the perfect furniture medic for the project.

OMG The patience! I love that you rescued such a beautiful old piece.

Jay when you Restore the old furniture, you are bringing back the original furniture from the past to New. Great work on this project.

Unbelievable restoration. That oil really brought out the colors of the bouquet of flowers in the center. That project was perfect for your talents and personality. It was painstaking and detailed. Those are your strengths. Just wow.

The before photos made me want to cry! The restoration is absolutely beautiful.

Gorgeous is the ONLY way to describe this table after you were done. This might be my favorite of all your projects to date. ❤

It’s wonderful to see such a beautiful piece of craftsmanship revered and repaired the way it should be. My heart actually tipped over a bit once I saw the finished product…well done, indeed!

Боже,настолько кропотливая,фелигранная работа.Вы просто маэстро рестоврации.Это высочайший класс!!!!.Браво ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Yet again you have done an outstanding renovation of this beautiful table

This was like watching a surgeon at work. You really did bring the patient back to life. Beautiful. (That soot and animal fat thing was really interesting to learn about.)

Totally worth all the effort to revive it. Gorgeous!

This came out STUNNING!!!!!! Bravo, that was wonderful to watch this table come back to life!

WOW! So bright and beautiful again! Beautiful job!

Your patience, concentration, and ingenuity are amazing.

That is stunning I love that you put back the black accent

Very breathtakingly beautiful! If you weren’t so far away, I’d stop by and take it home!

The meticulously attention to detail is mind boggling. Turned out amazing!

Awesome, elegant, perfect renovation 👍🏻🌹🌹🌹

That table was beautiful before; now it's gorgeous. That turned base is so pretty and the top is just breath-taking. Truly a work of art. You did a beautiful job.

Absolutely saved this beautiful piece! So appreciate your meticulous patience… we could all use that in our every day life…..still working on that in my early 60’s! Especially now as I need to remove an oil based top coat on chairs I did over 30 yrs ago…boy it sure was some sturdy stuff and I have a tough time of getting it off around the spindled back! But we still like them..and we had to tear down the old part of our house which was a one room school house built in 1886. Still out in the country! So going to paint spindles and legs and a dark stain on the seats! Definitely is time consuming so I only work on it until I run out of patience then I go do something else. So I am always admiring people who can be so very patient!

You, my dear, are an absolute genius!

Just tuning in - will have to watch the beginning later!

WOW, I wouldn’t believe it, if I hadn’t watched the video myself. It looked so sad and hopeless , but now it is GORGEOUS and has all the hope in the world! Incredible work!

What a beauty!! Hope you kept it.

Your patience is phenomenal. Your attention to detail is legendary. I knew, just knew that this would turn out spectacularly. You have Every reason to be proud of yourself, renovating beautiful things one step at a time.

May the person who buys this table truly appreciate the craftsmanship of the unseen under side of it as much as the top.

As a retired dentist, it just tickles me pink every time you bring out the dental tools to work on a piece. Dentistry is basically carpentry on teeth, and many of the tools are the same (in miniature) as well as the terminology. May of my dental colleagues are also woodworkers. I so enjoy what you do, your video presence, and your expertise. Keep it up, Jay! ❤

Your patience must be endless! Such a great fix and beautiful piece.

The type of help that beautiful fur baby gives doesn't need apposable thumbs! He makes you rest😊 He allows you to indulge in the lovely fur coat!😊

This table needed a lot of love.❤ It is stunning.

Just gorgeous. I do not do anything like this, I am just an interested and fascinated observer. You combine showing what you do to others in your field and allowing us ‘watchers’ to enjoy the journey too. You have a very calm and soothing voice which makes it all the more relaxing to watch.
