What a stunning transformation, David. I’m sure your customer and her brother were just thrilled with it, especially with the sentimental value it has to them. Really enjoying your videos and your staging photos are fantastic. Love the cut-ins with Daisy! She’s absolutely adorable and seems to have such a sweet personality (loved how we could hear her tail wagging on the floor while patiently waiting for dad to open the cabinet door).🐶💜

If she eats it, maybe not safe? If she doesn't swallow it, it's probably fine. I don't know, but I just love Daisy so want to make sure it's not an issue. 😊

Hello - I love your videos and I've watched every one. May I respectfully submit two suggestions: (1) if any of your customer's are willing, a customer reaction at the end of the video would be fun to see; (2) I think the Daisy segments interupt the flow of the video. I love seeing Daisy in and about the shop, but I don't know that the cutaway scene is necessary. FYI I will keep watching regardless. Keep up the great work!

Hi Abraham. The customer reaction thing is a great idea and i'll raise it with future customers to see if they are willing. I'm sorry you're not keen on the Daisy interludes but i just wanted to break it up and show you how my day in the workshop is. They are also in response to many requests for me to keep showing Daisy's antics. Not all videos will have her in them as she often stays in the house so hopefully i'll find the right balance for everyone. Thanks for your support and taking the time to comment. 😀😀👍

You should call the channel "Furniture Transformations". For that is what you do very well. And why I enjoy watching your work. To me this is not a restoration. You started with a handsome piece of furniture with all the patina of years of use by the person being remembered, stripped that off and turned it into a parody of what it was originally. To me a real restoration would have been to repair the joints, clean and then to do a light re-finish of it to a revived version of how it came in. I hope the brother was pleased with it.

MY MOTHER'S COUSIN MEANT WELL HE IN AUSTRIA HER GETTING MARRIED IN THE US. HE WAS AN APPRENTICE FOR A METAL WORKER AND HE MADE A BEAUTIFUL SET OF BRASS CANDLE HOLDERS FOR HER AND MY DAD. HE MADE THEM OUT OF SCRAP METALS THAT WHERE A DIRECT RESULT OF THE WARS. MOST LIKELY FROM ARTILLERY. METALS AT THAT TIME AS YOU KNOW WERE PRECIOUS COMMODITY ACROSS THE WORLD. MY MOM FOUND OUT LATER THAT HE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IF HE WAS CAUGHT SENDING BRASS TO THE U.S. MY MOM RECALLS SAVING OLD TIN FOOD CANS AND OTHER SUCH METALS FOR THE "WAR EFFORT". AT THIS SAME TIME. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THESE CANDLE STICKS ARE MORE THAN JUST A BEAUTIFUL WELL MADE BRASS CANDLESTICKS BUT THEY ALSO TELL A STORY. ONE I PRAY WE NEVER HAVE TO ENDURE AGAIN. JUST LIKE THAT CHAIR YOU ARE REGIFTING. NOT ONLY FOR THE CLIENTS MEMORY OF HER FATHER BUT ALSO A PART OF HISTORY OF THE TIME. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO MY STORY. YOUR WORK EXCEEDS WELL DONE. YOUR ATTENTION TO DETAIL IS IMPECCABLE. RARELY DO I EVER SEE A RESTORER CONSIDER THE PIECE AS A WHOLE AND TAKES CARE OF THE BACK AND UNDERSIDE OF THE PIECE. I DO SKIP OVER THE PART OF YOUR VIDEO'S THAT SHOW THE DIRTY WATER. THAT IS THE ONLY PART OF THE PROCESS I HATED TO DO. BUT A VERY NEEDED ONE.
