  • I restored and refinished this very old Side Table. It was very tired, held together by 40 screws and it ended up being a little more work than I had anticipated. Please let me know what you think of this furniture flip in the comments.

    Your little helper sure is a sweetie. I’d love this table in my house. Simple yet rich and warm. Well done

    That’s a great little table. Loved how you used walnut for the plugs. Makes a nice contrast on the trim around the edges. Your little helper is adorable.

    Sonny's skill with tools is obvious, the kid's a natural!! Love this little table, never thought the simple addition of walnut dowels and two toned color could create such style. I may be looking at old plain tables in a new way.

    'That's a Lot of Screws'. Your Sense of Humor has Emerged! I Like It! Whoever Built it Originally, did Not want to It to fall apart. Great Job!

    I do lie challenges because they introduce us to new restorers and refurbishers, even if 3 months later. Very nice job and I thank you for your explanations of what you were doing and why. It is helpful when people want to learn and are just starting out. All your online apprentices.
    Your youngest apprentice looks about the age of my grandson. Delightful age where simple things like getting an Allen key into the hex bolt pleases them no end.
    I couldn't help thinking that in 50 years or so, when this piece gets it's next rejuvenation, someone is going to be cursing you for gluing those dowels in over the screws. 😁 Again lovely work.

    So, I'm not a DIY expert by any means, but I've found that, when I have tight screws holding something in place, especially those screws right beside each other, I just slightly loosen ALL the screws before removing any of them all the way. Depending on the material they are holding together, if you completely remove one screw, the material eases apart slightly (microscopically!) and you've left more pressure on the one remaining screw to hold the material in place, so it's tighter and harder to remove. That doesn't apply to all the screws here, but certainly some of them.

    Not a high-end piece, as you mentioned, but well-worth a spruce up. Would not recommend Restore as a finish. Because it will most likely get a bit of use, a polyurethane (several coats) would be best. Use of two-tone stain is very effective. Gives it a more character and appeal. This table would be perfect as a night stand in a child's room (IMHO). Good job. 👍
