Ton chat est très cute!
I have watched many you tube videos showing Roll top desk repairs but none of them show how to remove the top from base. Is it difficult? I have to move one and would love some information. Can you help?
Hi.This is usually very straightforward. In the majority of desks like this one, they were designed and built with moveability in mind - they break down into manageable sections to allow them be moved, for example up stairs and into houses. You should find 2 or 4 wood screws holding the top to the bottom. They will be in a recess or hole so not easily visible and will be pointing up - so the screws go through a hole in the base and up into the underside of the desk, possibly at an angle. You will need a flat head screwdriver most likely. When you remove them put some tape or other label onto each one so you know which hole they came out from and can put the same screw back in the same hole later. When think you got them all, slowly lift the top an inch or so - this will soon let you know if you've got all the screws. Have somewhere ready to put the top, ideally two person lift and onto a blanket - be careful there may be other screws or fittings. Also watch out for the tambour (roll top bit) suddenly running out of the lid - it can move at speed. Hope that helps and thanks for watching.
@ Thank you for taking the time to reply. It’s a great help to me.
Hi, RUclips just put your video on my feed and have watched it about 4 times and I’m a bit perplexed, in your initial inspection you show quite a number of repairs, many of which have failed, I assume repeatedly. My first question is whether much of this is due to poor lumber choice, either in not having read the grain well or simply that the lumber had imperfections that allowed the failures? Next would be that the break you worked on is in a crucial place with regards to the need for maximum strength, as you say there is a huge load on those 2 places, which unfortunately are intersections which are further weakened due to the joinery, it seems doomed to future failure especially on the other side where it seems that a previous restorer simply glued (or maybe epoxied) the bits back together. In cases like this I ask my clients whether they intend to use the piece or simply want it around to fill out the set, in which case I suggest putting a ribbon across the front in an attempt to keep people from trying to use it and thereby cause more damage. If they intend to use it I’d think major surgery is required along with modern technology, it’s not a museum grade (reversible) restoration with hot hide glue and saving as much original material as possible, but rather doing what it takes to allow it to be used as it should be. Therefore I’d have done both sides and probably made new pieces to patch in (as a previous restorer did some time ago. What epoxy did you use? I’ve found that an elastomeric epoxy stands a better chance of surviving as it moves with the wood, rather than an epoxy that cures brittle hard, West Systems g-flex works wonders in these conditions, I tend to use their 406 filler as it’s rated very high for bonding strength, I also love the colour you get after mixing it in as it’s a creamy yellow, which is very close to the base / background colour of many woods. Another plus is that even when mixed to the point where it won’t slump (which allows me to over apply it so I can then work it to its final shape without needing to apply more) I don’t find any loss of strength. I tend to add pigment to get close to the finished colour, so I don’t need to add much colour later in the finishing end, it files, chisels, sands and takes finish very well and I’ve used it where small bits are missing due to the client not being diligent in picking up everything. I’ve used it on an original Philadelphia Chippendale Mahogany Chair (dated 1780 and part of a set of 8) which like yours had been repaired a few times, that chair is being used robustly for around a decade and the owners are on the larger side. You did a wonderful job on your chair, but I worry that it will be back soon and that one of its next breaks might be catastrophic. Looking forward to seeing more of your projects!
What a fabulous comment - thank you. In some way to answer your question, here is an excerpt from the report I gave to the client: The chair is based on a design by George Hepplewhite (1727-1786) It features: Shield-back design: The characteristic curved shield shape of the backrest with an elegant fan or wheat-sheaf motif. Graceful lines: Smooth, slender, and gently curved woodwork, emphasizing lightness and elegance. Straight legs: Often with simple stretchers for added stability, seen in many Hepplewhite pieces. Upholstered seat: Typically in fabric, enhancing comfort. This style is a hallmark of late 18th-century English furniture design and is associated with the Neoclassical period. This is a reproduction piece rather than an original antique, but it maintains the elegant proportions and characteristic design elements of the Hepplewhite period. The style is named after British furniture designer George Hepplewhite, whose designs were published posthumously by his wife in "The Cabinet Maker and Upholsterer's Guide" in 1788. The shield-back design of Hepplewhite-style chairs is inherently delicate and breakages are a common issue with shield-back chairs (both Hepplewhite and similar styles). The problem stems from several structural factors: Design Weakness: The shield back design, while aesthetically pleasing, creates a natural weak point where the splat (the fan-shaped central part) meets the bottom rail of the back. This area experiences significant stress when someone leans back in the chair. Leverage Forces: The tall shield back acts as a lever arm. When someone leans back, it creates substantial force at the joint where the shield meets the seat frame, often leading to failure at this crucial connection point. Historical Context: Originally, these chairs were designed for a more formal sitting style where people didn't lean back heavily. Modern casual use puts more stress on the design than it was intended to handle. Materials and Repairs: Over time, the wood fibers around joints can weaken, especially with repeated repairs, glue aging, or environmental factors like humidity. The chair is inherently weaker now than it was when it was new (likely +/- 120 years ago), and we are larger than we were in the 1700s when this style was designed. In my view, It will break again with very limited “leaning back”. Some restorers suggest adding a support block or reinforcement at the base of the shield. This is not something I have done. The advice is: any modifications should be done carefully to maintain the chair's aesthetic appeal while improving its structural integrity. The key is to make the reinforcement as invisible as possible while providing adequate support. The cost of doing this properly and matching the colours would start to approach the cost of finding a matching set of replacement carvers, e.g.: Search for “hepplewhite style carver pair uk” www.vinterior.co/furniture/seating/armchairs/lovely-pair-of-victorian-hepplewhite-carver-hallway-side-chairs-feather-filled-sku36540228 Or you can get furniture made to order: www.brenthamfurniture.co.uk/bradley-311-wheatear-carver/p1079 ------ Many thanks for the epoxy guidance - I will follow up.
@ great overall report for your clients! Very thorough and helpful to those who don’t understand the dynamics involved I really wish that they would take the plunge and have you do it right - (deal with all the issues to give this old chair a long and loved life) Sadly as you say it’s easier to simply buy a new set of old chairs, although they rightfully should take you along to vet those chairs to keep them from buying trouble These days the younger folks think of these beautiful pieces as “old brown furniture” and buy disposable crap from IKEA Your colouring of the chair was wonderful, as you say, it really fools the eye and did a splendid job of hiding the work! As you’ve guessed I’m a colleague in south eastern Pennsylvania, I’m lucky as Philadelphia was the premier city in the late 1600’s to early 1800’s and all the fashionable furniture trends seem to have arrived there first, so I get to play with some remarkable stuff Best wishes!! and thanks for replying G
Would have had a sewing tray and hinged letter holder in the lid. Personally, as a restorer of many, many years I would not have looked at that box twice. Boxes like that I usually steam off the veneer and use the brass as spares but its certainly a good one to show how to restore a slope....or not... but I`ll come to that later. Most period glues are animal based and come off easily and that`s a good method to do it with heat and moisture.....but be careful......veneer is also glued in the same way. With the ridge in the middle I usually go with a double skiver, they really look great, a bit more expensive but worth it. Another good glue is wall paper paste which is a bit more forgiving for the beginner but takes a lot longer to dry so I also use PVA. Got to pull you up on the green strengthener though.....THAT WAS HORRENDOUS 🤢🤢🤮🤮. You should have glued a thin piece of fabric along the hinge first as a strengthener and THEN applied the leather. Another method usually found on larger slopes is to cut a recess for a pair of leather hinges although this slope is a little too small for that. That`s how the Victorians did it. I`ll give the Gilboy`s a try and a good leather supplier, one I`ve used for several years now, a shout out to Essex Galleries 😊. Very reasonable prices and a good variation of colours and tooling. Sorry about the small bit of criticism but it had to be said so I hope you don`t mind.

I always look forwards to the staining part. My father did an apprenticeship with the co-op as a painter. A lot of time he oiled / waxed / stained and latterly varnished wood. My heart was in my mouth when he started to match in the multiple different shades of wood in a hardwood staircase I built some 30 years ago, But in the end I shouldn’t have worried, it all matched perfectly …👍 It’s a true art indeed.

I love tables like this 😊 Practical in smaller houses, beautil grain and actually very sturdy a whole lot sturdier tha the majority of modern furniture. I preferred the darker colour but I think the oil based did show off the grain much better.
Thank you for watching and commenting
Hi Bruce! Great work - as always! I've liked these Heppelwhite chairs for a long time - but the construction of many of them is rather questionable. These chairs were built very much for the eye, but sitting on them can be dangerous. In your chair, a small bridge at the bottom of the back plate to the frame of the seat would be enough to multiply the stability of the construction. A small, less visible element would be enough for this, which would hardly disturb the overall effect. All in all, I think the chair could soon be back in your workshop. But that wouldn't be your fault - definitely not - but its construction. All the best from southern Germany: Georg
Georg - thank you, as always, for your helpful and insightful comments. I agree 100%.
The thing i love about your videos is the fact that although you make it seem like a "small and easy repair" you put a lot of work and research in every piece you restore. And you share it! I love that, thanks for taking the time to share it. Loving the multi camera shots. 😉 Do let me know whenever you start thinking lighting. 🤪

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
