Thanks to all for visiting my channel and watching how I refinished this small console table. Please tell me how you feel about the oil and wax finish I applied in lieu of a poly or shellac. I discovered that this table may have belonged to my great grandparents and was passed on to my parents in 1970 so it is much older than I had originally thought. If you feel like watching another furniture project of mine, here is a video of me repairing and restoring an old rocking chair ruclips.net/video/tgMWwZiIISM/видео.html. See you in the next one!
That's so cool. That table could fit just about anywhere in a home. What a family treasure. I don't know enough to comment about the oil and wax, but I love how it looks and the fact that it's protected.
I have a tale like this and you made the one you found look spectacular. I wondered why you didn't use stripper and rather scraped off the varnish, though, plus, while the fninsh looks fantastic, some people who don't want plants or their guests wrecking their furniture with water stains may prefer a waterproof finish.
@@mizvitko8109 Thanks! I do not like using stripper and the old varnish on this just flaked off with a scraper. Much easier. I used a wax finish because I like the look and feel of it. It is not as sturdy as a urethane or lacquer but there will be no plants on this and no guests will be using it to hold drinks!!
How cool that this has passed down from your great grandparents! I seem to recall seeing a similar table that was called a "pie crust table" due to the fluted edge of the table. Whatever it's called, it's beautiful! ❤
Job well done, my friend. I love your approach. No music, no talking, no written instructions, just a REALLY detailed tutorial on how to restore a small solid wood piece. Love your work. It was a GREAT result. Love it! I've subscribed. Can't wait to see what else you have to show us.
Thank you! Dark stain doesn't do it for me either in most cases. This ended up matching another piece in my house perfectly without me planning that so it worked out well.
I just finished watching a restoration video on another channel where every step was explained in detail. I loved it and subscribed. Now I watched this video where not a word was spoken. I loved it equally as much...which is how I ended up subscribed to dozens of channels like this. I just love watching old furniture being honored and treated with love and respect. It's beautiful and seems much happier now. 😉
@Restorology Hey, thanks for the reply! It's called "Restoration Endeavors". My two top favorite channels of all time are "Mid-century Modern" (You'll love Barry!!!) and "Modern Makeovers" (his editing style is crazy good). I also like "Transcend Furniture Gallery". I'd love to hear what you think of them. I also watch a lot of channels where old things are fixed and restored, which is really cool too. I meant to say I subscribed to your channel. 🙂
@@VioletJoy @RestorationEndeavours is fave of mine as well. In my opinion, his narration sets his channel apart from the rest of us. I've tried narrating but I do NOT like the sound of my voice on camera. I have not seen the other channels you mentioned but will check them out this week. I am always looking for good content to binge! If you like commentary about what is being worked on, try @flippingdrawers.
Well I've read that chalk paint is easy to remove...you could start over if you wanted a more classic look. It's never too late!! I am sure it looks great though as is. Thanks for the great feedback. ✌🏽
@@Restorology interesting, I was sweeping around it today thinking about that & then saw your video….Seriously, thinking about it. It’s one of those tables w/ fold down leaves ….is that what they are called ? And Very similar to this table in looks b4 I chalked it !!
Having the turning device to work on the legs is a game changer. What a lovely outcome. The finding stuff in the junk yard is a great twist on up cycling ---love to see how they transform.
Thank you very much! I know you like using darker colors but I've always preferred lighter shades. I think I would keep everything natural wood color if it looked okay in my home. 🤙😀
Thank you very much! I have been going with much lighter stains lately and trying different finishes. I will certainly be doing this combo again on a future project. Thanks!!
Thank you so very much!! This actually was an older stain I had laying around so I was a little worried about using it but I like how it turned out too. Thanks for the feedback.
I am surprised at how many folks wrote that they have this same table. Everyone seems to have gotten it from a grandparent. This came from my parents, but they got it from my great grandparents. It must have been super common in the early/mid century. Thanks for sharing!
Есть такая поговорка "выкрасить да выбросить". Зачастую такая судьба ожидала не только эту консоль. Но ей повезло, попала в умелые руки. Великолепная реставрация.
@@lisak6226 So I found out that this may have belonged to my great grandparents and may be much older than I first thought. Does yours have any manufacturer's marks or anything to identify it? Mine did not.
@@Restorology not that I can see, but she passed away at 105 years old in 2010 and my mother said she had it when she was still living at home. So it’s very possible it was your great grandmother’s!
Saw the very same table done with copper leaf, navy paint and napkin decoupage. Wasn’t my taste. This is more my cup of tea! Thank you for the hand-rubbed finish!
The finish was worth the extra time it took to do it by hand. It would be boring to show it all on camera. I am going to begin working all of my projects this way unless a piece needs a sturdier surface like a chair or something. I love the feel and look of it. Thanks for the nice feedback.
Спасибо за очень доброе сообщение. Я рад, что вам понравился проект. Желаю тебе всего наилучшего. Я надеюсь, что мой перевод правильный. Ваше здоровье!
So after I posted this video, I learned that this table may have been my great grandparents also. I can see it being good for a phone stand. It only comes up to my knees!
OH MY GOODNESS! In this one video, I have learned so much from you. I refinish wood, and I have this same table, but possibly older. All of my furniture is vintage. Most were curb finds. I subscribed to your channel. Do you know where I can find a product that swells wood to tighten joints on chair rungs? I used it years ago with good results, but I don't remember the source or the name.
Thanks for the great comment! I am very happy that you enjoyed the video. I have seen a product called Chair Doctor Glue that is touted to swell the wood and freeze it in place therefore assuring tightened joints. I have not used it. I typically use a two-part epoxy glue when dealing with joints that are loose and have space between the wood pieces. I do not like using epoxy in general but it has advantages in some cases where wood glue may not be the best solution. If you use the Chair Doctor Glue please come back and share your results. Good luck!!
Based on the comments I've seen, a lot of these were passed down from parents or grandparents. They must have been popular back in the day. Thanks for sharing!
¡Ja ja! Seguro que estuvo cerca. Pudo haber sido malo y no hubiera sido la primera vez que me corto con ese cincel. Gracias por el comentario. ¡Salud! 🍻
Hi. I prefer a natural tone as well but it would have been out of place in my home. The light color I added to this piece better fits with the hues of the other furniture I have in my home. Thanks for the feedback!
Спасибо. Я иногда добавляю список материалов в описание видео, наверное, для этого видео я этого не делал. Мне нужно обязательно добавить список. Спасибо, что обратили на это мое внимание. Прошу прощения, если мой перевод неверен.
This was a pretty big gouge in the wood. I wasn't confident that I could make the repair blend in well if I used putty. Also, being on the edge, I felt that putty might not mold well enough to create a sharp edge. Thanks for asking!

Thank you for the kind words. I do plan to post more frequently in the coming year. I hope to see you here. Thanks!
You did that table justice. I can't stand dark stain on wood that can stand on its own, like this piece does.
Thank you! Dark stain doesn't do it for me either in most cases. This ended up matching another piece in my house perfectly without me planning that so it worked out well.

A remarkable save on a beautiful little table. Great job! ⭐️
Thank you very much!! 🙂
Not a near religious experience. A real religious experience. Bless these hands that heal. Wonderful attention to the wood. Thank you.
Thank you very much. That is very kind of you to write. Peace! ✌🏽
Impeccable workmanship !! I wish i had done this to a table I have from the 40’s. I painted it with caulk paint. My parents had it all their life.
Well I've read that chalk paint is easy to remove...you could start over if you wanted a more classic look. It's never too late!! I am sure it looks great though as is. Thanks for the great feedback. ✌🏽

Thanks! I love using my lathe. It's not the best model and it is super old but I got it at an estate sale pretty cheap.
You've done some very clever touches, my friend. I liked very much. I like the dark color more in wood. Great for me 😊🤗

As good as the project looks, I would have added a back edge vertical detail to cover that black swath along that wall edge. Also to make it your own.
That would have looked good for sure. Thanks for the feedback!

Why not use wood putty to fix the damage area at 2:30?
This was a pretty big gouge in the wood. I wasn't confident that I could make the repair blend in well if I used putty. Also, being on the edge, I felt that putty might not mold well enough to create a sharp edge. Thanks for asking!
