Building a Top and Bottom Shelf for This Industrial Stack of Drawers Pt 2
Просмотров 1463 месяца назад
This is part 2 of a 2 part series where we transform an industrial drawer unit into a piece of furniture for your home or office. We used 2x6 pine from our local big box store and made it into a beautiful top and bottom shelf. We're super happy the way it turned out, so see it for yourself in this video.
Building a Top and Bottom Shelf for This Industrial Stack of Drawers Pt 1
Просмотров 1,9 тыс.3 месяца назад
This is part one of a two-part series where we build a top and bottom shelf using 2x6 lumber for this industrial stack of drawers to be used inside the home. (Very frustrating that RUclips doesn't promote part 2 at all and has barely any views even though I have added a card to this video to go and see part 2. Should be natural for people to see part 2 since it's right there and so easy to find...

    Lots are made in china and chec republic. 30 years ago few murano " maestri "went to china to teach the techniques . Many venetians were outraged and predicted the end of our ancient art . In ancient times this would have not be possible ,venetian authorities would have killed them as traitors of the republic . Times have changed and we have culture exchange now . Murano is still a beautiful island to visit with hundreds of shops and furnaces filled with beautiful pieces .Alfredo Barbini is a very famous maestro .

    Hello there! I’m not so fond about what you did with the brass candle holders. I wonder what gave you the idea to spray them with lacqer? If you are keeping them yourself, of course you can do anything you like. But if you are going to sell them, your buyer may want to polish them and have a very hard time to decide what to do with them. I really would have appreciated if you had tried wax or polish instead, as those are reversible topcoats. Removing lacquer from brass is extremely difficult without hurting the surface of brass. But, once again, how did you come up with the idea?

    • @agomodern
      @agomodern 2 месяца назад

      LOL There was no way to polish these. These were sitting outside for who knows how many years. Polishing them probably would have been a far worse choice. I will be listing these on Etsy, so we'll see if it was a good choice or not. I am very, very picky about keeping things original or restoring furniture back to its former glory, but these were beyond polishing. To tell you the truth, I hate to polish brass and see too many people destroying decades of patina.

  • @helenascheele5922
    @helenascheele5922 2 месяца назад

    I do just a little wash with soap and water IF it has fat and dirt on it. Then I dry it and it finally I take a micro fiber cloth (the very fine cloth you can use to wash windows and glasses with). and then I just polish. It doesn’t scratch and it leaves patina. Try it yourself 😊

  • @helenascheele5922
    @helenascheele5922 3 месяца назад

    Please never ever use steel wool. Take some hot water and normal dish soap and a dish brush and wash dust and fat away. Dry it. Take a microfiber cloth and polish it gently. Only the cloth - no steel/chemicals. Try it please!

    • @agomodern
      @agomodern 3 месяца назад

      Like I said, I don't polish my brass because the couple of times that I tried it ruined it. I know a RUclipsr that uses Bon Ami (which supposedly isn't a chemical) and white vinegar. I am tempted to try it, but scared that I won't be happy with the results. Might look good on a video, but in person might be a different thing. Supposedly the patina comes back within a couple of months, even though I find it hard to believe because the patina on the brass you find is decades old. The other thing is that I want to list some pieces of brass in my Etsy shop, but afraid people might not want the darker patina that it has.

    The first 6-8 transparent glass objects could be produced in the former Czechoslovakia too - and some of the later ones too. It's really hard to tell, Czechoslovakia was really strong in mid-century modern glass art and the masters often studied in Italy. (Theit artwork is also quite pricey - especially if your able to identify the designer.) They also used to polish clean the bottom. Chinese copies have sometimes rough bottoms, but it's not always the case.
