    Well... I have mixed feelings on how this one turned out. It was truly my hope to get this very close to how it would have looked originally, but the damage was just too much. Can't win 'em all!
    Short of replacing the veneer on the top, my only real option was to make the best of a lousy situation and try to make this piece usable again, even if I DID need to make it a bit darker than it would have been.
    I'm not sure what happened to this piece in its past life, but hopefully in its NEW life, it will be taken care of and loved, and avoid the landfill. That's really what my main goal ended up being.

    I still think you should have some little plates made that can be attached to each piece that read:"Restored by Angie at Transcend Furniture Gallery". Maybe also leave a space for you to add the date it was redone? Decades in the future pieces redone by you will demand premium prices and be highly valued because of the quality of your work.

    • @andreakirkby
      @andreakirkby Год назад +12

      It's also an interesting aspect of provenance. For instance I have seen repairers' names pencilled in French clock cases - this kind of history builds up and makes the objects richer and more interesting.

    • @lorelleblackwell8556
      @lorelleblackwell8556 Год назад +7

      @@andreakirkby I hadn't even thought of that about clocks and watches! My aunt's husband was a WWII vet that lost part of one leg mid-thigh. He was a deep sea diver, retrieving bodies and parts from underwater crashes. No longer being able to do the physical work, and prosthetics being what they were in the 1940s, he needed a new profession and went to school to build and repair clocks and watches. Every piece he worked on was signed and dated in very tiny lettering and numbers. Decades later when I inherited a very expensive watch from a different aunt I took it in to be cleaned and the young man was stunned to use the jewelers loop and see the numerous notations made inside the watch back cover when my aunt had taken it to be worked on in some manner over the decades. I still have the watch and it's almost 100 years old. Angie is a skilled artisan and should be signing her work as the old craftsmen did.

    Hi Angie! I am relatively new to this channel and, even though I know nothing about woodworking, something about watching you pour so much time and passion into these pieces of furniture is really hypnotizing. But what I really wanted to say here is just how much I appreciate your kindness in every single video, you have a very gentle and honest way of expressing yourself and are clearly a very compassionate person. As you said it yourself, there is a lot of negativity on the internet lately and it really is refreshing to come across such a calming creator. So thank you!

You should put a tag that it was restored by you. Part of the history of the table. It is a masterpiece. You also are a great teacher/storyteller. I am sure that as time goes on, someone will look you up, when they inherit the table, and say WOW. This is a TRANSCEND table.

    "As close to the factory finish as possible"??? Most of the time your finish ends up looking better than the factory finish. You always manage to bring out the woodgrain better than the original finish did. I'm totally amazed with this table and even with the remaining dings and stains, it almost looks better than original again.

    Angie, I used to apply a sealer of some kind where I worked at a custom cabinet and door company. My boss would say, "most people won't finish/seal the backs or inside or bottoms of a piece but it's really better for the wood as far as absorbing moisture less and drying less. More even. And besides, it's us."
    It turned out SO BEAUTIFUL 😍. I'D BE PROUD TO OWN IT. And, I use coasters btw. 😃 💜

It feels loved, when it was used so much that it was marked and battered; and then when its scars were softened but not completely mended by you. Your skills are so good, and you treat each project with so much respect that I know your furniture sighs in pleasure when you apply the finish. I love watching you revive furniture so its story will continue. You did beautiful work on this one.🌸

    It's not a silk purse but I rate it as a rayon purse from a sow's ear. What is the value of a piece of furniture made out of glued sawdust covered by a very thin veneer?

    • @TranscendFurnitureGallery
      @TranscendFurnitureGallery  Год назад +72

      More than 3/4 of mid century furniture was constructed this way, to save money AND valuable resources (particularly exotic woods like mahogany and teak), and thank goodness they did it this way or there'd be none left. It may not appeal to you, but it makes the furniture extremely stable from a wood movement perspective, where solid wood is very prone to cracks and checks when it expands and contracts with temperature and humidity. It allows MORE furniture to be made from the same exotic wood, rather than one single temperamental piece of furniture, and it makes it more affordable for both the maker and the consumer. Have a look at retail prices of this furniture and the fact that they sell like hotcakes.. and then ask where the value is, haha. It's not just mid century though. A LOT of antiques with stunning woodgrain are also veneers. Veneer doesn't mean cheap. And the pressed wood of the mid century era is not the same as the 1980s and 1990s junk.
      It's a very important question you asked though, so thank you for bringing it up! Not many people actually realize just how much furniture is made this way... most of it has been passed down in families as "solid wood" and it's not. There's just a misunderstanding of how and why manufacturers did this.
      The 80s are different. lol That's when factory furniture when to Sh*t. lol

    We are our own worst critics. You did an absolutely wonderful job restoring this. Someone who wants to buy refurbished furniture won't mind a stain or two or an imperfection. They probably won't even see it and if they do, they want to have those flaws because it tells a story. But you see them because you worked so closely on it. Don't be so hard on yourself. Even if the finish was totally trashed and you had to paint the whole thing, it still would have turned out beautiful.

    Dont kid yourself! This table is very attractive. You do very neat work, which I appreciate. Back in 1985 I purchased a dining room set for our house. A large Queen Anne style, solid oak (sorry) china cabinet, banquet sized table with three leaves, two armed captains chairs, four side chairs. It was Drexel Heritage. Cost = $10,000. If I had it to do over again since Im smarter now, I wouldnt hesitate to shop used. There are some really very nice pieces out here ready for a second chance. And many are due to your talents. Congratulations. Kudos to your quality control manager, Nacho. Good help is hard to find.

    WOW! Talk about a beat up ugly duckling turning into a swan! I don't mind some of those imperfections showing through. It shows it has a backstory. I can't believe how well that table turned out compared to the before. You certainly worked hard on this project and anyone should feel lucky to purchase it for their home. Stunning transformation. 😍

    I watch a lot of furniture refinishers/flippers. A LOT. I'm always telling my husband about them "this one does fast flips" or this one likes to re-design the structure" etc. Yesterday I had him watch one of your videos. I told him "of all the furniture refinishers, Angie is by far the best. She is not a flipper or refinisher. She is a true artist and completes her pieces just like a fine art restorer." You really are a Master Woodworking artist and I'm so happy you share your work with all of us! 💜

    I am deeply impressed. I see the usual comments about manufactured wood cores and veneers, it's impressive how little people actually know about mid-century furniture.

    • @TranscendFurnitureGallery
      @TranscendFurnitureGallery  Год назад +1

      THANK YOU! Yes, it is very true- a LOT of people don't realize that a massive portion of furniture they think is 'solid wood' isn't, and why that isn't always a bad thing. And also that it often has no bearing on the literal value of these pieces. I think the 1980s weaker pressed wood and melamine tops sort of tainted everyone's view of prior/older manufactured substrates, that are actually leaps and bounds better than that stuff...AND found in almost all quality mid century furniture.

  • @TeresaHowe-lo1hy
    @TeresaHowe-lo1hy 8 месяцев назад

    Angie, that is just magnificent! To regain a factory finish is a grand idea, however it takes away the love and the history the piece lived through. Now it gets to live again and add to its history. I am always so impressed with your talent.

  • @jmbisme

    This table turned out gorgeous! You say that you wanted to return it to factory finish, but honestly if you had you would have erased the “patina of its life” that makes it the unique piece of furniture that it is. There is also something to be said about purchasing a piece of furniture that has been previously used/loved. I try to keep my furniture in as good of shape as I possibly can, but I live in a home, not a museum. There are some things that I am very precious about, but I try to keep in mind that everything that gets used will eventually show its use and that’s okay. Don’t be so hard on yourself, you are one of the best furniture refinishers/restoration person out there. Keep up the good work and give yourself some praise and credit. You deserve it!
