Thank you for a short intro and explaining every detail without having a long drawn out video. I don't have time to watch more than 10 minutes. I subscribed!

Working a similar for first time and found this invaluable. More than just the info and tips, seeing how an experienced person preps the job and angles the sprays is just as useful. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I haven’t watched a huge amount of furniture painting videos but of the dozens I’ve tried to get something from, this is legit the best and most professional I’ve seen. It is beautiful and done soooo well and I love you saw, appreciated, and kept the integrity of the drawer fronts

I cant stand those swirl marks the sander (or user lol) makes. Beautiful piece

[salvagedbykscott]

Oh, I wish I could get my hands on General Finishes products up here!!! Looks fantastic.

You make me want to learn how to spray! It was fun to watch you work. Have you ever used the White GF Poly?

Thank you for explaining what exactly is veneer. I had no idea. I just thought it was a cheap piece of laminate stuck over any type of wood. I always wondered how the expensive pieces of furniture could get away with saying that it has veneer. Also, what would be a household alternative to mineral spirits?

That looks AMAZING!!!! I have to paint a kitchen table and want to sand the top to a blondish color and the rest will be black. Any tips for the table top and how to get that blondish color. I want it more ashy then golden. Kinda like your black rattan pice, little table.

Use a dark primer so any scuff mark doesn’t show white! Great job!!

This is a wonderful video. You said to check the description box down below. I can see where that is. Please help me with this. Great info

[blackcaesar]

Excellent video. Was about to throw away my 6-drawer, but I think I am going try to save it first.

This is beautiful! I have literally clicked on every link to purchase everything you're using! You really need to be sponsored. You're extremely good at detailing everything you're doing and keeping it interesting. You have a new subscriber in me!

[deborahhedrick]

Oops. I found it. I’ll be using this technique soon

[grantbos]

This is really the only way I like MCM furniture. You nailed it !! Well done.

[LumunGames]

Katie Scott recommended your channel for the leather drawer pulls but I stuck around to sub and watch a few more videos. Looking forward to more content, your work is beautiful!

[Sparkyz]

Very well put together video, quick, to the point and amazing results 👏

[missjanet]

The dresser turned out so beautiful. Great idea leaving the drawers natural. I’ve always done my furniture painting with a combination of brush and small cigar roller but just got a Wagner like you used to use since I need to paint 6 old dining chairs that have a lot of little details. I am not sure if I can use primer in my sprayer or if I should hand paint the primer. What do you think? And then do I need to put a finish over my final paint color? Thanks in advance for your advice.

So this being black poly, does it behave like paint? Love this !! You have great tips!

[AngieWilliamsDesigns]

I really like General Finishes milk paint. But I hadn’t used the enduro. I may have to check that out. I also noticed you didn’t have to seal it since it’s a poly. Even better!
