What colors and brands and kind of stains did you use?

Hello I’m a new subscriber with a trunk project ongoing. Can you remind us what you used for the wood treatment? Lacquer or shellac… tung oil or Murphy soap. Any advice would be much appreciated. 1:29

Did you ever say how to tell a steamer from a stagecoach chest? I just recently came across a trunk that looks very similar, what caught my eye was the anchor handles. That trunk still has all of the designs and leatherwork intact

Thank you for this video= some great info here, between the history of the trunk, and the workmanship with it. I found a curve top with a lot of wear - I want to fix it up / restore it. Now I know what to label it.

I recently purchased a similar trunk at a resale store. What method would you recommend to remove the handle clasps for cleaning and eventual replacement? Mine appear to be nailed in place, and since I'm angling to replace the rotted original handles with bison leather, I'm trying to damage it as little as possible in the process.

What are the angles ? Thanks

Loved the restoration of the steamer trunk! It looks great. Can you tell me the exact products you used to clean and polish the leather and wood. I believe you said it was a combination of a solvent and oil. Thank you

What paint and color name did you use on the exterior? It would be great if you would list the products you use and maybe even links. Thank you.

Have you made one with compound angle dovetail joints? Would like to see your demo of it.

Awesome change! Lovely!!

😮 hi where are the products listed? I can’t find them thanks.

How to restore/waterproofing/refurbish a steamer trunk for outside usage/ storage/ seating area on patio?

Out of all the videos I’ve seen yours is by far the best thank you so much for sharing your craft. I’m in Washington state and I wouldn’t mind having someone restore my two trunks. I don’t have the tools or the space to do it myself.

Isaac where are you located? I have 2 trunks

THANK YOU. I'm buying this 1896 trunk that will need a restoration, and I was very daunted by the idea of removing all the hardware and possibly damaging it. But I'll just leave it on and do what you have done!

You need to include measurements and angles. Thanks

Greetings! We have several trunks and we want to refinish. What solvent do you prefer to clean outside leather? If leather handles and straps are missing, what do you use? This piece looks great. Great work

Where did you get the leather handles?

Can you please tell us the brands of the clean wax that you're using. And the other brands you're using for the top

That turned out beautiful!! Loved your video!!

Could you tell us what the Deft lacquer was used for? Did you use it in conjunction with the green stain? Or on the leather? Also, What oil & solvent?🤔

Thanks for doing this video. I recently got into dough making and i see a lot of the old timers using a wood box to make rhe dough in. It looks similiar to this. I have a mitre saw so think i can make one :)

I’m just refinishing the top of my gate leg table. I will be doing the base in the next month or 2

Great video, but I hesitated with the thumbs up. Why? Because you showed all the processes on camera, but did not tell us how to do them - techniques, things to watch out for, handy hints and so on. I watched your video to find out how to cut the mitre angles, but you don’t explain it. Oh, I want to make a larger version for mixing dough. Will there be problems with the base expanding and contracting when you have glued it in?

Beautiful.

Hi, I am wanting to make something similar to this, just using the sides & top to hold a row of LED lights. My problem is I can't find a table saw with a 55 degree bevel, only up to 45 degrees. I don't actually care whether it is 45 or 55, but can it be done with a 45 degree bevel, in that case what would the angle of the mitre be ? Thanks a lot.

❤

I had to laugh when I saw the little accident in the beginning... I´ve just had one quite similar while building my trunk. Beautiful work.Thanks for the video.

Is there a list of products you used?

What the hell are the angles you are cutting?!? I’d like to build it too.

Wow! It looks amazing! Great job! I just bought one today. I'm going to restore it also.

question what product did you use for the three coats before the satin lacquer?

Love to have seen the sled and how you got the angles. Is there a particular calculator you used to work it out?

Thanks for the tutorial! I was looking for a video to teach me how to make these tapered bowl type shapes so that I could make a concrete form.

Nice! You keep the patina! Congratulations!

That’s the idea! Patina! If you make to look new, there is no charm!

Bom dia vi seu projeto e gostaria de saber os graus que você usa

I married in the mid 70s and we purchased a 2nd hand bedroom suite, art deco style veneer (no inlays or fancy veneers). It was very dark so we oaint3d it canary yellow. And then i crocheted a yellow abd white afghan bedspread. Still had it in 1988. Dont know what happened to either of them after that. Australia.

Lovely table, excellent job ❤

how did you sand the edges of the table with the hand chisels? I would like to see how you did that part of the table.

Please give me the product name and brand of the sealer you used on the interior.

What do you do when a trunk smells really old? And it’s not a pleasant smell?

My whole house is a wooden bowl containing dog hair.

Great job. Looks beautiful. How did you come up with 55 and 60? If you change one angle how does the other one change? Are you using a formula. Thanks

What if you wanted to replace the leather straps? Would you have to remove the rivets and replace those too? Would it cause too much damage?

Thanks! Looks great. I just bought the same trunk and someone in the FB trunk group said that;s not leather around the edges but a compressed fiber / fake leather. It sure holds up well so that's a good thing.

Great results 😛👍😎

I haven’t seen a trunk that big since I was in my grandparents attic the last time I was in England. You did a great job with it.

Where can I buy the d wack schelack that you used on this trunk
