The combination of your voice and the ambient sounds have been incredibly helpful in making me fall asleep for the past two weeks - thanks a lot man! Oh and it's also quite interesting to watch you work.

You're like the cosmetic surgeon of furniture restoration. You even have a surgeon's hands! Love.

This is such a pretty table, gracefully shaped.

Let me add to the comments below and maybe above. Please dont ever add music to your videos. The "working sounds" like sanding and scraping, are a musical background all on their own.

Great job, I really liked how you repaired and restored the old oak pieces. There is something that very few woodworkers seem to do and that is also pay some attention to the old hardware! Clean up the old screws, washers and wing nuts by simply soaking them in Evaporust or something and get rid of the corrosion. Maybe treat them for some rust prevention. File down lightly damaged screw heads if needed and so on. That sort of thing.

Very beautiful piece of furniture when you were done. Great job !

Your workmanship is outstanding! It's so fun to see an old table come to life again! I love this style of furniture, my mother has a few of those tables in her house.

It's so cool how you brought the piece back to life.

these videos remind me so much of watching my dad repair baseboards and refinishing parts of our floors growing up. i really like how down to earth you are. keep up the great work out there!

Great job bringing that beautiful table back to life! Thanks for sharing!

What a pretty little table! Is it wrong to find myself so relaxed listening to and watching you do all this hard work?

That foot repair was the work of a real artist. Great job

I am addicted to your videos!

I love these videos bc they are short and sweet. Just enough info to get started. Great job!

Nice to see a variety of styles and woods - not just MCM.

These are excellent instructional videos. Thank you for posting!

i love little end tables like this. great job!

Love the restorations. You do a great job.

Just found this channel and I love it !!!!

That.was.beautiful!

Beautiful! As always, love watching and listening to you work, and I always learn something.

Always awesome restoration!

The foundation of that table is nice.

Sweet little table. Thanks for making the vid. :)

Beautiful job, beautiful table.

these videos are great, please keep making them

Once again a great job and a great video! Thank you for giving that wonderful little table a new life!

I adore this table

Wow love your videos! You make it look so easy!

Great Job , have a nice day !!!

I've seen many videos on stripping (wood lol) but for some reason your video made things click more. Before I was always left with questions and some confusion even though they went into great detail but this video left me with no questions and you kept it straight forward and just did it and told us how you did it. Simple. Thank you 👌

I started watching your videos because I have antique furniture that I don’t want to chalk paint to make it look modern. I have almost the exact same piece as this one only it’s octagonal. It will be my starting project. Thanks so much for your videos!

I really enjoy your videos. I would love for you to talk about how much you purchased it for, what your cost is with stain, supplies and labor and eventually how much you sold it for. I think that would be very helpful.

Makes it look so easy. Gave me the confidence to restore the top of my Lawyers Cabinet. Thanks:)

Beautiful!

very beautiful thank you for posting i love watching

Your videos are so calming and helpful, especially right now. I'm now dreaming of being able to do restoration like this. Maybe one day...

Well worth your time,such a nice job!

Love watching your video. I have learned so much from you. I have a very similar table I like to restore, first time ever. Hopefully mine will turn out half as good as yours, I would be happy. Thanks again.

Gorgeous as always!

Great video, keep up the good work👍

Very pretty

I want this table in my life!! It’s beautiful.

Nicely done. I really like the shape of that table.

I just saw one of these at Savers the other day for $6.99. It definitely needed some restoration but it was a SOLID piece!

Thanks! Oxalic acid is magic.

Gorgeous!!

Great job!

Beautiful table and finish. Love the before and after videos.

Love the videos, nice job. Don’t ever add music please. I don’t think putting the items in the snow helps, because the background is such a stark and bright white that the camera darkens the rest of the image to compensate.

Absolutely beautiful!

Home Depot stopped carrying Citristrip here because they claimed it didn't work... I only use that (for years) and wondered what they were smoking when they made that decision!!

I also scavenge for furniture to give a new life to. Many of mine are what I call my 'orphan chairs' but are usually not made of walnut or oak so they get done with colored coating usually wax or chalk. I am actively learning tips from your videos before I tackle a project on a mid century desk with a faded, almost gone finish. I'm trying to glean from your videos if I can go over what is there, or if I have to strip it. There are no scratches, but possibly someone was aggressive with Restore-a-finish. I'll keep watching!

Nice job! Thanks.

I hope you don't mind, but I have passed your trick on about using a syringe to put glue into small, deep spaces. It's a cracking idea.

Looks damn good!

I just discovered your channel and in really enjoying your narration. After several videos, I'm getting to really learn your method. Thanks so much for making these

Those aren't stains . That's what I'd left of tree branch. Nice job.

Love you videos so much, you are a really good teacher. In future please show the finished table or whatever you have restored inside, I can’t see any of the wood grain detail in the outside light.

so good

Have you ever considered using epoxy for the top coat? I know it's not traditional and not everyone likes it but it does look unique.

In my mind the color is not really "oaky", but it became a very nice piece then ...! I newly dicovered your channel and I really like a lot and of course the sub button is pushed for quite a few weeks meanwhile. Hello from Germany from the silver fox, David 😉🦊

Thank you very much for the videos. May I ask what is the safe water and oxalic acid radio for safe use on the wood and yourself? Thank you again.

Hi! I really do like your videos but in this one, I don't hear you mention rinsing/washing off the oxalic acid once it's dried, which I understand is really important. Here is Spain it's a controlled substance. A friend uses it to control infection in bees, but he won't let me have any acid. Thanks a bunch! Keep up the good work!

Another beautifully restored piece! Being new here.... I'd like to know the name of some of the products you prefer to use? 1) Would be the Wipe on oil based polyurethane?? you use in several of the videos I've watched do far? I've watched several this morning, now that I've finally discovered your channel. Sincerely, Lori K

Could you use danish oil as finish after the stain? Also in bare wood oak chair for example can i use stain and danish oil for finish?

That table is gorgeous! I need advice from you or anyone who can help, please. I'm working on a customer's piano. For the past few years her relative allowed his birds free range on this piano. We've washed it with Mr. Clean, but the odor remains. I can't bring the bench or kick board in the house. They're on the back porch for now. They smell so bad. Can you suggest anything? I had the bench filled with baking soda for a week. It didn't help at all. How deep can that odor go?

Thank you for sharing your talent. The video is very helpful. I am trying to strip and restrain our kitchen table. Do i need to use a liquid sanding sealer before staining the table? Thank you for your help and service.

Would you ever consider doing a small series on tips and tricks for the different solutions and tools you use in your work?

Thank-you, that was so satisfying to watch. Also I love the way the oxalic acid took the stains out. Do you have to neutralise the acid afterwards? I think solid wood antique furniture is the best. I just bought a solid imbuia writing desk and it's been chalk painted. I'm definitely going to strip it and restore it to its former glory!

You do a great job on your restorations. As much as I don't normally like oak, this piece would have looked better with an oak stain, not walnut.

Just found your videos and love them. Thanks. What wipe on poly are you using for your top coat? Ever use GF Arm R seal.

0:35 EPIC RAY FLECK.

Love your work! Question: Why did you go with a gel stain on this piece, as opposed to a liquid oil stain? Cheers.

I have a table exactly like this one. Do you know how old it is? Also, what is the acid you used to get the black rings off?

What is the treatment you use to treat worm wood? Any help you could offer would be great.

I like these videos a lot, but I have a question: Is there a reason you do the oxalic acid before you sand?

Recently subscribed. Love your videos. Do you sell the pieces on or gift them to people you think could use them? Either way I it looks like it's more about the enjoyment of breathing new life into a piece than anything else. 👍🏻

How many coats of polyurethane do you use & do you sand between coats?

What is the most aggressive remover available ??

What type of satin poly or any poly, would you advise over a weathered oak stain?

Could you give me an idea what can i do with an old oak cofee cable and end tables i like to refinish it but i dont know where to start and what to buy ive beeb debating for months now so fraustrated to how i can start thanks it would be a great help cant get a man to do it cause they dont know how

Why do you not do underneath also?

You never say what kind of finish was on the piece originally. Was it varnish, shellac, etc.?

Why did you only do the visible tops of each piece? Especially on that bottom shelf piece. How hard would that have been? Lazy restoration, but good on the parts you actually restored. I give it 2 and half stars.

love your videos! thanks for posting. 2 questions: what kind of epoxy filler do you use- i see it comes pre-portioned in kind of a roll- and i haven't ever seen that before. Also- where do you get the syringes (and what kind are they) for the small space glue ups? thanks!

I don't really like to remove the old surface of the table sanding it I think the table losts a bit of value, but it's only my opinion What do you think about it?

How long do you leave the paint stripper on for?

Wow! Beautiful! Where do you buy oxalic acid?

what did you buy it for, and how much did you sell it for?

What did you applied to remove the stains?

Did you fix that wobble in final form?

How much profit do you make by doing this?

Why wouldn’t you use a higher grit sandpaper?

Is there any other stain than walnut stain available? ;-) Just kidding....

Why dont You clean a rust?

Anyone else feel claustrophobic when he uses the glue syringe?

You didnt leave stripper on long enough

Beautiful!
