    In this video I restore a free Facebook Midcentury Modern buffet. It was missing its legs and the veneer was completely gone. I replaced the veneer, gave it new legs and cleaned up the brass hardware. New brass pulls completed the look. it is looking shiny and new now.

Whoever owns them does as good a job with their grooming as you do with your projects.)

    Beautiful job, as always. As for feline helpers, our ginger cat got involved with my neighbour's project (painting his narrowboat gangplank in exterior oil-based green paint), resulting in a pricey trip to the vet. I've also had a cat jump straight into a tray of white emulsion and leave a footprint on every sq ft of carpet before I grabbed him. They are usually too quick to take evasive action, so for the sake of puss and your projects it might be best to keep the door shut when sticky stuff is involved!

    Beautiful job! Looks new. And the cat is so cute. I think she claimed you as her human. Your hers now.

    Oh Jay! It's so nice to see you can now afford a Quality Assurance Manager for your pieces. LOL Have to make sure you keep producing beautiful pieces for the price of cuddles and pets.
