As many of these commenters express, I TOO prefer natural wood. However, different customers, different pieces, different desires, sometimes paint is the right choice. And You hit it out of the park on this one!!!! GREAT results! Great video (content, filming, editing) and the casting and lead star! Home Run #2 ! 😉 Seriously, Good Job all the way way around ! 👏

Great instructional video. I used to help my dad in the garage when he had little projects to complete. Later after he was gone I found him keeping me company when I was in my own shop woodworking. I have tried to share this with kids in my neighborhood. It is a good thing to be able to make something from scratch or rescue a piece that has been mistreated over the years. Thank you for what you do.

Love this little table. Too bad your customer wanted it painted but I understand some people want different. I’ve been watching lots of your videos and there’s something about you…be it your talent, knowledge, patience…I don’t know but it just makes you such a gorgeous woman! And this comes from a 60+ married mom of 6! I appreciate you as a role model for young women going into what was considered a man’s job in my generation. A son and a daughter have now started refinishing pieces for their homes and I’ve started teaching my 10 yr old grandson. My granny taught me at around that age too. Thank you again for all that you do!!!

Looks like it just left the factory. It really turned out well, but after watching a couple of prior videos, I had no doubt it would. I’m probably in the minority, but I don’t mind seeing wood painted, when I think I might not care for something painted black, I just think about my beautiful grand piano, painted ebony, and it’s so so beautiful. I’ve seen a few houses around my neck of the woods with cabinets painted black and it’s not off putting to me at all. I just try and keep an opened mind which at my age (78) is not always easy to do. 🤗

A very nice restoration, although I prefer the original wooden version. Fortunately, you have protected it so that the next owner can bring the table back to the condition originally intended by the carpenter. Nevertheless, the pretty little table is still in use and does not end up in the trash like so many beautiful, solid furniture.

Generally, I don't care for black finishes, but this looks terrific. One word from an old museum curator, Brasso is not your friend. Most people never properly remove all of it and continues to eat away at the metal. A product such as Nevr Dull is safer. Here is what the Canadian government has to say to museum curators: "Be cautious of commercial polishes such as Brasso. Those formulated for automotive or stainless steel cleaning often contain very hard particles which can scratch the softer alloys of copper. Some products contain tarnish inhibitors that leave a film on the surface, making further treatments difficult. Many metal polishes contain ammonia, which can dissolve copper in some conditions." Love your channel!

To ALL the folks who HATE to see wooden furniture painted--- get over it! 1. this woman is doing her job, as hired to do, so why give her grief? 2. UNSOLICITED opinions are just that--- UNSOLICITED. And your opinion. Which have NO value, at all, do they? 3 it isn't your furniture, but you can do whatever you want with YOUR furniture! Just as no one cares if you pile your stuff out in the yard and set it unfire, you do what ever you want with your stuff! No one cares!!! Nor should they!!! "Oh, what a shame. That chair had such a nice grain to it, too!" So what??? 4 not knowing where this item will reside, and with what other pieces, it really might look best painted! Try, just try to allow others to determine what is best for them!!! Try!!! It will be difficult for most of you, but try anyway! Find a hobby. Or visit the shut-ins, in your community! Anything, but leave the sophomoric opinions UNsent. They are tiresome, unhelpful, closed minded, and they show a serious lack of any imagination, understanding or any sense of style and sophistication. "This recipe has been in my family for over 200 years! And I'm not changing a thing about it! Why would I?" As she laddles melted lard into her cast iron frying pan before sliding in the freshly skinned gopher that was 'obtained' just that morning. "Yup, my great, great great granny won a blue ribbon with this dish!" Indeed!!! Seems some folks move on. And some folks just don't! Won't! Can't!!! 5 this little Victorian table has almost no value as so many of them were mass produced, and no one wants them now because they are not practical or useful today. But perhaps a few of you could start a furniture rescue, where you can save these things and they can then live out their natural lives---- at your rescue facility!!! And at your expense!!! In the meantime, stop with your silly, yet very unhelpful, unneeded, unprofessional advisements!
