      I see you have watched a few of my videos. I am glad you are enjoying them! I am trying to look for more pieces where I can do things like remake parts from scratch, but I think I will have to just make some furniture instead of restoring to do it. Cheers,

    My Grandma had a piece just like that. Grandpa took the locks off. she put her fine silver ware in the drawer and her good table cloths in the side cupboards. that was in the Dining Room near the corner. Thank you for sharing your excellent work and brining back those memories. God bless.

    • @RestorationEndeavours
      @RestorationEndeavours  Год назад +2

      I agree, though from what I can tell, the darker finish deteriorates and gets a lot dark over time, so originally it would have been nice and warm instead of dark and dreary.

    I'm subscribing as well. Thanks for showing how to do dovetails. I want to restore a mahogany dresser with one missing drawer front and I'm going to try doing dovetails instead of gluing front to sides. Ironically, I'm also 72 and been working on furniture since I was a kid. Mom showed me how as she didn't believe in tossing old furniture out when you could fix or refurnish it--but NOT paint it as wood is beautiful. I'll be a regular viewer from now on.

    Brilliant finish product. This piece could have been made in 1967. In the woodworking classes at esign my school, the more advanced fellows would make pieces like this for their mothers & they probably used a design that was familiar to them from an earlier era. You might want to start signing your work like the fellow I watch in RUclips ... flippingdoors is his handle I think.

    Using hand tools in any kind of wood working is becoming a lost art. In the not so distant future, it will be lost altogether because of the time, effort and patience it takes for someone to turn something so old and worn into something beautiful and useful again. Thank you for such an interesting project.

    Great job. It looked pretty sad to start with, but you've breathed new life into it. It's great to see the hand tools in use for this one. Too often you see people using every super expensive, noisy power tool known to mankind. More time consuming going the hand tool route but much calmer and definitely quieter.

    I absolutely love Silky Oak. I have a SO dresser that belonged to my grandparents, dated to 1919. It's slightly chunkier than the one you have so I would date yours to a little earlier than mine. Maybe the 1900s or earlier 1910s for yours. I don't think anyone in the 60s would have made a piece like this so that "67" on the back of the mirror is either the date of a replacement mirror, or something else 🙂
    Love the refinish on this piece, showing the lovely grain of the timber. Mine needs refinishing too, you may have just inspired me.

    • @RestorationEndeavours
      @RestorationEndeavours  Год назад +5

      It's amazing timber, isn't it. I was thinking that maybe it was custom piece that was made to order, but it's strange to see pine used with such an old piece of wood for the top. The tree would have been massive. I do think you are right though, the 67 can't be a year, or at least the original year.
      Good luck with it, and hopefully it's not to big a job!

    Beautiful! I like your choice of pull for the drawer. It looks original (as does the drawer) to the sideboard.

    I'm glad your channel popped up in my feed. I am subscribed to about 95 furniture restoration channels, but what's one more? Lol. This is the first I've seen where every single step is explained really well.
    What a gorgeous piece. I am nostalgic and just love watching old pieces get a new lease on life. You gave this sideboard the love it needed and deserved. Very nicely done. Subscribed!

    I love the wood and the final look. I think the shellac darkened overtime which is common. To me it looks 1920s, most antique pieces don’t have the cut outs for the mirror which makes it look more modern but it doesn’t look 30s to me as the thirties typically produced more modern furniture. This would fit in perfectly in those 1920s fairytale cottage style homes. Maybe Australian furniture was 20 years ahead of American furniture in style. :)

    • @RestorationEndeavours
      @RestorationEndeavours  Год назад +1

      I think you are spot on about the shellac darkening. I have been told that it could be about that time, and possible made by a local company so I have been trying to find their old catalogues for a more definitive answer.

    Hey mate nice resto. The sideboard was made & sold by Trittons in Brisbane in the mid 1930's. I know their furniture quite well and have restored and own several pieces, I actually have the more expensive/upmarket (at the time) version of this sideboard which is exactly the same but it instead has 3 centre drawers and some carvings in the corners of the mirror frame it was made in 1935. Cheers

    • @RestorationEndeavours

      This is amazing info, thank you so much! I have been looking to get something made by Trittons to restore, just didn't know I already had! Was I far off with the drawer?
