Restoring a Victorian Gate Leg Table: Oil-Based vs. Water-Based Stain?
Initially, I thought this Victorian drop-leaf table would be a simple repair and refinish. In this video, I delve into the details of choosing between a water-based stain and an oil-based stain for the finishing process. I'll also demonstrate how you can restore this table at home using simple, store-bought tools and equipment.

Secret Lurk (long single pole used by telemark skiiers instead of 2 ski poles) ash and walnut

We were asked to make a surprise 50th birthday present - a Lurk. A Lurk is a long single pole traditionally used by telemarkers instead of 2 ski poles. They either have rounded ends or a spike at one end and, ideally, have a 'hidden' hip flask. For ease of transport, it will often be able to unscrew or separate in the middle.

Great video. Thanks. Really appreciate
Beautiful job!❤
Fun-tastic/ there are light sagey green (almost artichoke color )felts with thin strands of other colors that would look much better on many drawer linings restoration.That or paper lining .Antique or new . Luv the old oak
Why did you go with green felt and blue leather? The restoration is good but not going with the same colour/tone for the felt and leather is disappointing.
I agree! The client wanted to keep the blue leather as a like for like replacement so I ordered it …and then come the repair I didn’t have blue felt. I think blue on blue would for sure look better. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Does anyone know what style leg it’s called I have a dining table square with the pull out extra panels. I am currently in the middle of redoing that all though I am sanding it down and starting again as it’s really in need or new finish
Incredible! 🤩🤩🤩
Thank you!
I wonder what ole Thomas Johnson, from Gorham, Maine, would have done? It turned out beautiful.
Hia, just wondering why you chose an Osmo finish rather than a French Polish? Nice work though!
Preserving the original look of the chair was brilliant. Thank you for an inspiring look.
Fascinating background of this piece. Beautiful!
What kind of cat is that? I love his markings!
That’s is Toffee and she is a Bengal cat 😀. Thanks for watching
@@TheCottackWorkshop wow! Thanks for answering.
And I like your videos.
When did plywood originate, and was there plywood in 1665?
1797 and no. Is the whole box made of plywood? Is a repair to the internals made in circa 1914 made of plywood?
Sans doute eut-il été judicieux de confier cette restauration au maître en la matière, Monsieur Thomas Johnson.
Sans doute indeed
Ok, could you help me? How do I make that (you called it tembor?) roll top from scratch? How tick must the thin wooden slats be and the first larger on. It looks a little like click laminate, do I need to form them like that? Does anyone knof if here Is a DIY of making a roll top desk?
I have bought a desk like that, but it's missing the rol top, so when the drawers are closed they are locked, the rol top opens them. So I have to make a hole new rol top. I'm searching everywhere how to do that, where do I start? I do have the key, the rest is missing 😢
Is there an email I can reach out to you? I’ve got a customer asking about a project just reinstalling the tambour. I’d like to ask about pricing and stuff like that. I’m across the pond so I don’t suppose we’re in direct competition 😂 Any advice would be very helpful!

As a long time Tom Johnson fan, ive just binge watched your videos after discovering them yesterday! I have family antique furniture from 1800s that ive been slowly repairing/ refinishing. I searched for DYI videos a few years ago to help me figure out how to do the work. Your work is inspiring just as Toms has been helpful training. Love that you explain what you do and use!
That is awesome! Wow high praise thank you
Beautiful!!
Thank you! 😊
How wonderful to own such as treasure and family heirloom! Very rare indeed!
Thanks for watching
Beautifully done. I would have kept with the dark green drawer liners. Your attention to detail and respectful restoration is very admirable. Hard to believe that spices were once SO EXPENSIVE that they had to be kept under lock and key! I loved this video today! Thank you ✨️
Thank you very much!
Always wonderful to see and hear the brain process to achieve such a beautiful result. Husband’ s family came to Oregon on the Oregon trail….actually travelled a time with the Donner family but luckily parted ways as the Donner party supposedly ate people when they got trapped in the mountain snow. The Alderman’s settled in Yamhill county and eventually one brother had the 4h largest row crop in the USA at that time and another bother who was in education ended up in the USA government and also helped with the 4H program. His moths moved and had a lot of wonderful family treasures as well as her saddle and so many photos…but they all got stolen. Ugh. She grew up in a Sear s home that is beautiful withe the most gorgeous barn…we would have bought it if it wain our price range. We still have some pieces….just be careful if you ned to use a storage unit. They had the china given to the brother who was in the federal government. Lewis Alderman. The other brother was Urie Samuel Alderman (USA are his initials!). Most local Oregon folks worked in his row fields. Including my mother and her family. They used all the available school buses in the county and got folks as far away as the coast and Portland. They also had a food plant raised livestock and more. Just such a wonderful thing to have family treasures passed down to family. Just be careful where they are stored!
Great story thanks for sharing
Hi there thank you for making this brilliant video showing the difficulty involved in restoring antique furniture. I love that small spice cupboard and it has inspired me to make one. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@TheCottackWorkshop since watching your video i have made an example using some old reclaimed pine that i had available. Thank you for the inspiration 👍
Wait, how did you go from the blank to the finished design?
Norse time?

I inherited a Cerro cabinet. I have no idea what took the stain off the top. I need to stain it. Think it is oak. Dark color
@@DaunLedford good luck with the project!
EBay and Etsy have parts. There’s also a man on Facebook named FredSanford sewing machine parts and he’s really helpful!
@thecottackworkshop can you please tell me if you have a full video link to making the case at the end of the clip?
I didnt film making the sheath box but if there was interest I could make another and film it?
@@TheCottackWorkshop I'm sure there are more than just me who would be interested for sure! Perhaps make a large one for multiple ones? Please and thank you!
I am Manjusha from Pune Maharashtra India .You are a great kalakar ( in our language) You may have done various projects like this one but don't mind ,I am not satisfied . According to my opinion , because I am 72 housewife and teacher in school , for restoration You must get separate each and every part then clean it grind it repair it if require and then join again then polish. You had not practise it .
Thank you for watching and commenting
Since you asked, I prefer the darker one you just finished. Ideally, the maker would have better matching panels to join into a well matched and blended table top. Both are beautiful and really good work!!!!
Thank you!
you make it look easy, but we both know that there is more to it then that. ;)
Thanks Andre!
Try and make the vid run faster😊
I’m surprised after all these years it never was attacked by woodworm. Seemed to be a thing with furniture in the 70s.
What an intricate piece. Fantastic
Thank you
It has even been cat scanned.
Ha very good
Thanks! I have a nearly identical gate leg table, except the top is mahogany (I suspect the legs are not), and the lathe pattern is slightly different. The top needed stripping and the finish was worn enough that it was just as easy to give it a light sand. I *did not* want to strip the legs, and my neighbor who likes to look over my shoulder and ask questions, seemed slightly judgy when I said I'd refinish the top and "refresh" the legs. Nice to see someone else feels the same way about stripping legs that don't really need it. I should add that my table was made here in the US, it still has the original marks, by the Imperial Furniture Company in Grand Rapids Michigan. There is a website with history of the company and the particular logo dates back to the 1920s-30s. I actually think I won't need to stain the top because of the beautiful mahogany I think will be dark enough. Unfortunately I've had to set it aside for a few months because I had to refinish my mother's dresser for my grandbaby, but hope to get to it soon.
Good luck with the project when you get back to it - thanks for sharing
Excellent work!
Thank you!
WE WANT TOFFEE MERCH! :) Toffee is the cherry on top of what is (as always) a fantastic video!
@@beefypudding Great idea!
@@TheCottackWorkshop I'd be your first customer!
Fascinating! Watching you restore and sharpen the chisel was amazing - such a simple tool to be so complex. I also admire your appreciation for the age of the tools and your recognition that "new is not necessarily better."
@@maryannraley thankyou
Gorgeous work. My dad was a woodworker and I loved to watch and help him work (his supervisor was our Siamese). We lost him several years ago, and I have missed those times dreadfully. I hope you don't mind that you've become my "surrogate dad." (I don't expect an allowance.)
Many thanks for watching and commenting. I lost my father last year, he loved watching the Cottack Workshop videos and was always asking when the next one was going to be ready. He wasn't a woodworker, that came from my Grandfather. I still have his tools on the wall behind me, and I spent many happy hours with him in his workshop when I was growing up.
Cats gotta supervise! Toffee is beautiful and you do wonderful work.
Many thanks - much appreciated
I love watching renovations but I can do without cars. Not a fan I’m afraid.
Sorry that should read Cats
