    One of the best restorations I’ve ever seen. Especially impressive is your repair methods using wood, original when possible, instead of filler. Final result is awesome.

    Don't Worry, Your Worth the Wait. So Much to Comment on! Some of the Other Restorers had a Challenge a couple of weeks ago. Basically, Restore a piece Headed for the Burn Pile. Yours would have Fit in quite Nicely! I had to Give the Win to the Italian Guy. His looked the Most like a Corpse! They All did Great! Loved Your Video! I really Noticed Your sense of Humor and Natural Timing both Intentional and Unintentional (like, 'Grrr... Nails'). The Restoration was Amazing! You Needed that 40 minutes to Show Everything You had to do. It Flew by anyway. The Love for your work Shows in the Piece. Nice to see the Dog, the Cat and the Wife(?). Thank You!

    You certainly aren't afraid of a challenge. I can see why no one bought the moaning desk.. there wasn't much left of it.
    It turned out to be a simple but lovely piece of furniture.. after a LOT of work. ❤

    Wow, what an amazing transformation. It was worth the wait and understandable why it was late. You were so meticulous with all of the glueing and adding of the little strips of wood , the re-glueing, sanding, just everything you did to make this piece of trash into a beautiful piece to live another 100 years. 💖

    Excellent work, as usual, both on the restoration and the video production. Nice to see the ladybug, cat, dog, "executive producer" and, of course, the train. Your occasional narration continues to be very helpful.
    I hope whatever ate that huge hole is long dead and not irritated with you. 😗

      @Restorology  8 месяцев назад +1

      Thanks!! This whole thing was totally gnarly. There was so many insect carcasses and even a mud dauber holed up in the empty drawer knob hole. No telling how long it sat outside.
