    Well, anyone would so love having one of your restored works of art. You are a master craftsman in restoration. Here in the UK you would love it, for we have been cheerfully throwing lovely period furniture in the trash since the last war. You can pick up such items for a song at the auctions because nobody values them. Your dedication and the time that you spend is priceless. I can guarantee that there is no-one to match what you do in our land, which is full of short cuts and modern rubbish- and this is what is valued here. The days of such pieces are long gone, but you make the past come back to life.

    You can tell a lot about a craftsman by his/her way of taking a restoration object apart. So many people aren't careful because "it's old stuff and already broken". A real craftsman takes his/her time and is very careful because every part is important. You took your time, and I appreciate it so much!

    My Mum had one of those they were beautifully made pieces. My goodness what a lot of work. Everything taken apart, then reassembled, the scrapping and the sanding and the holes, my goodness what a lot of holes in that wood. It came out stunning well done it is back to being around for another hundred years. My Grand dad swore by the hand planers and the hundred year old saws. He even had a old iron bench clamp with the steel rod to tighten the screw. He made a few pieces of furniture in his time including a very dark wood almost black dressing table for my mum and then it was handed down to me then to my sisters before it got infested with wood worm and then dad took it to the back of the yard and we had a bonfire. I am glad you restored it too many pieces of furniture end up on a burn pile these days there is ways to bring things back to life or reinvent them into something else. I am also glad you saved the original makers marks on the back that was an especially nice touch. A grand job sir!

    It is appropriate that you work with the sounds of trains. Watching your detail, oriented video, shows me that you are a real craftsman that depends upon tools only to help you get the job done a little quicker. Most part you do all of the hand and sanding , and assembling and assembling without the help of power tools. I love the way you make dolls and use them the way that our ancestors used to do. Only thing I would’ve changed in the whole video, would’ve been to add leaded glass rather than the thin fragile glass Paine that you reused. A wonderful video.❤.

    • @Restorology
      @Restorology  7 месяцев назад

      Thanks for the great feedback! Leaded glass would have been preferred but it is very EXPENSIVE and has to be ordered special. Even the two pieces of glass I had cut for the sides were about 150 bucks. Crazy. I considered it seriously but could not justify the cost for a personal piece. The front three pieces are original leaded glass. ✌️

    Until I watched this video, I never would have believed anyone could repair that damaged piece. Even better you mostly used the original wood. When you need to add patches, the repairs were seamless. I loved the final color choice. Repairing and reusing the original hardware was a chef’s kiss. I hope you were able to sell it. If not it will be a beautiful piece to pass down. Thanks for sharing.

    You didn't restore this piece, you built it from some scrap wood you found in the vague shape of a cabinet. Soooo many pieces, I don't know how you kept them all straight. I wanted to cheer when I saw screws coming out and dowels going in. Seriously, this was more than a restore. Amazing work.

    • @Restorology
      @Restorology  Год назад +1

      Thank you very much! Because the paint stripper was not working on the lead paint, I had to mechanically remove it using a scraper so I did it all outdoors and used a face respirator every time I worked on it. I should have used gloves too probably but I am not very good about that. I dispose of the paint scraping at our local haz waste disposal center. Thanks for asking and for the very kind words. 🌻✌🏽
