That reminds me of the school desks I used in the late 50's in Elementary School (PS216) in Brooklyn N.Y.C. Those had a flip up seat attached to the desk behind it, though the last desk in the row would have had a stand alone seat, and the first desk in the row, none. The ink wells hadn't been used in decades by the time I was in school.
Beautiful! You’ve restored an heirloom for your niece. I’m sure future generations will also treasure it. It needs an inkwell-eBay has quite a few antique school desk styles
Congratulations on the work! I'm Brazilian and I'm always amazed at all the dedication you show with your revitalization work. A "hi" straight from Brazil.
Beautiful restoration. I wasn't aware of your channel until now so I've just subscribed. You deserve at least 10x the number of subscribers, so maybe there is something wrong with the algorithm.
Thank you! Channel is still growing. I’ve only had the channel for about a year but it’s growing! Thank you for subscribing! I should have a new video out in a couple weeks stay tuned.
At one point I went to an old small school where 1st and 2nd grades were combined as were 3rd and 4th, and 5th and 6th. The pricipal was the 5/6 grade teacher. Our desks were similar except the top raised up and the chair was fixed to the desk. When the old school was torn down and replaced anyone who wanted, could get one of the old desks. We had one for a while but I don't know what happened to it.
I loved this, you did a beautiful job however I would have liked to see you repair the split in the seat, especially as it was directly under one of the screws. You could maybe go back and see to that in the coming years. X
@@restorationrhode I'm currently on the hunt for a desk similar to this, only with the box part of the desk being metal. I saw one states away from me as I was passing through a couple weeks ago. I should have snagged it while I had the chance. They had a tall shot glass in the well hole. Fit perfectly, but brass would be classy!
Wonderful. All it needs now is the old ceramic inkwell to be replaced. We have one in our antique desk. (Our cats used to play at pulling it out of its hole and dropping it on the floor.)
I heartily agree that the antique walnut is perfect for this project. The wood looks so rich, and it respects the history of the desk. I noticed the butterfly, too, and reflected on how perfect it is for a little girl. I’ve looked it up, and grey is correctly spelled BOTH ways-grey and gray. It drives the spelling and grammar police completely out of their minds!
When Dinosaurs Roamed the Earth is how old that gum was! Mesozoic Era if You're Particular! Nicely Done! Children will want to sit in it now! Great Job!
I've been looking for one of these antique desk/chair sets in this design. The reasonably priced ones are too far away and the sellers won't ship. Ones I found online that will ship want hundreds just for the desk/chair plus the shipping expense. I do have a set of H-W metal desk legs like these I want to remake an antique style desk for. Your video will be very useful in designing the wood desk parts correctly. I have an antique school desk inkwell to go with it.
@@restorationrhode It will probably be a slow process since I don't have as nice a set of woodworking tools as you used on this set. I do have an antique school chair in the more common design with four spindles in the backrest. I bought the metal base to make an old style chair for, but then someone on FB had just the chair part like I was going to make and it was free. Maybe someone will have a desk top to go with the legs and save me the work of making one. Then I'll have a true antique set. Yours turned out beautifully!
You weren’t sure about how to spell the color of your metal primer spray. I have no idea how I know this…but “gray” is the American spelling, “grey” is the British version. To remember the difference, think “a” for American, “e” for English. 😂 Nice work by the way - the restored piece is beautiful and I’m sure it will be a treasured heirloom for years to come.
Excellent!...a shame that you were unable to replace the inkwell with a suitable pen/pencil container...I remember seeing, many years ago, a similar piece painted in a very unfortunate mucus-green...not comfortable for ANY self-respecting and studious child!...dgp/uk
So sad, everyone using woodstain, especially wallnutstain. We have got so many different woods. This desk, would be even more wonderful in it's original wood.
I greatly appreciate the effort and craftsmanship that went into this restoration. However, I found the background music and the paid advertisement distracting from the overall experience. Watched the video on mute. For future projects, a more subdued approach to music might enhance the viewing experience. Thank you for your hard work and dedication!
Fatal, me gustaba más en estado original, con que lo hubieras limpiado primero con agua y jabón para madera y luego suave con lana de acero 0000 y cera de abeja para muebles habría quedado genial... Siempre hay gente como tú que destroza muebles...😢😢😢

The desk is remarkable, but the chair is a stunner, what a design. Great restoration.
Thank you! I know. I love the little butterfly design. Perfect for a toddlers desk.
What a lovely gift!Everyone needs an uncle as thoughtful as you. Wonderful restoration.
I am glad you liked the restoration! Thanks!

Реставрация выполнена на ура. Спасибо, вспомнил детство. Классный видос, главное без мыла, всё по делу. Лайк🙏.
Thank you!
What a great gift for your family. You did a wonderful job.
Thank you!!
Beautiful! You’ve restored an heirloom for your niece. I’m sure future generations will also treasure it. It needs an inkwell-eBay has quite a few antique school desk styles
Thank you! I’m actually thinking about having a brass cup milled to slide in the ink well so she can use it as a pencil holder.
@@restorationrhode I think these days it can be used for cable management or wireless charger as well...
@@carnifaxx wireless charger is a good idea too!
@ Good idea. Toddlers and ink shouldn’t be seen together.
@ agreed!
I love this! So beautiful and unique 🩷 wonderful restoration.
Thanks!
Nice work, just a thought, you can get round usb charger to fit in the inkwell, remember todays kids have modern electronic to use.
That’s a great idea. I was thinking about having a brass cup milled for it to hold pens or pencils.
What a great find. You really lucked out. I hope your niece gets good use out of it. It turned out beautiful. Thank you for taking us along. ❤😊
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed the ride!
Your editing and pace are spot on but your sense of humor is amazing....your big ol' feet under that desk was classic!
Thanks so much! That's a great compliment!
Great job I hope your niece likes it and gets many years use out of it
Thank you!
A first class restoration and a true labor of love
Thank you!
She will love her new desk!
I think so too!
They are made for eternity .
I love them .
Great job ! 🪑🤎
Thank you! Quality work back then.
That’s a pretty little set. Very nice!
It sure is! Thank you!
Very nice restoration and piece.
Thank you! Cheers!
I love old school desks and chairs. Beautiful work.

Thank you so much for watching. Glad you enjoyed it!
BEAUTIFUL work !!!!
@@pettyeddie2000 thank you!
So very well done!
Thank you! Cheers!
Very nice!
Thank you! Cheers!
Beautiful job. I’ve never seen a school desk that was adjustable for the back or table height.
The really appreciated ergonomics 100 years ago haha.
Love it 😊
I'm glad! Thank you!
Beautifully done 🦋
Thank you!
Love this. Nicely done
Thank you! Cheers!
A great restoration; it looks beautiful. I'll bet that desk was old when I first started school back in the late 1940's.
Thank you!
Turned out great !
Thank you!
This is a very nice gift.
I agree!
Beautiful...
Thank you! Cheers!
Love it

Thanks! I was going to but it wasn't structural.
How adorable is that ?????
@@myraholmes8702 I know!
Love it! Just for whimsey I would have painted the butterfly multi-colors and made the ink well large enough to hold a bottle of water or a sippy cup
I think I’m going to have a brass cup milled for the ink well to hold pens and pencils.
@@restorationrhode I'm currently on the hunt for a desk similar to this, only with the box part of the desk being metal. I saw one states away from me as I was passing through a couple weeks ago.

Pretty cool

my desks never did have an inkwell (1944-1956)
@ did it not have the cut out for it or did it just not have the ink well?
Una joya🎉❤😂
I agree!
Very beautiful ❤❤❤❤
Thank you! Cheers!
Great work friend, have a nice day friend !!! Brian UK !!! 😀😀👍👍.
Thank you! Cheers!
What a beautiful present for your child! Shame you did not have the inkwell. Superb restoration. 🇦🇺🤗
Thanks!!

I’ve looked it up, and grey is correctly spelled BOTH ways-grey and gray. It drives the spelling and grammar police completely out of their minds!
Agree I liked the darker stain. I thought the same for the butterfly, appropriate for a toddler. I get checked by grammar police on every video.
Lindo, lindo
.
Nice!
Thanks!
Awesome! I cracked up laughing when I saw how brittle the chewing gum was---reminded me of old rubber bands.
Thanks! I just want to know how long it's been there.
Those were my and others desks in grade school PS Baxter, Somerville, MA Early 50's.
I’m in Rhode Island. So it could possibly be your old desk!
@@restorationrhode style yes, however there were hundreds. Only grade four had Formica desks and moveable chairs. School old built before 1900.
bon travail
Thank you!
Can we possibly get a Masterclass on Professional Camera Blocking? 🤣Great video.
Haha. I just pictured the camera shot being blocked in the masterclass as I teach you how to camera block. Haha. I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
When Dinosaurs Roamed the Earth is how old that gum was! Mesozoic Era if You're Particular! Nicely Done! Children will want to sit in it now! Great Job!

The gum was to funny but expected LOL
I agree haha
You could do carbon dating on that gum.
Haha. I should have!
What type of wood is the desk made from?
I believe it’s maple.
@restorationrhode TY!!
Should buy an ink Well for it
I think I will mill a brass cup for it to hold pens and pencils.
What kind of wood?
I believe it’s maple.
jetzt noch ein Tintengläschen mit Deckel das wärs
I think I’m gonna have a brass cup milled to hold pens and pencils.
For fun I would have superglued a couple of those old gum to the underside…
This is something I would have done. Set prank or joke I’ll never see haha.
You weren’t sure about how to spell the color of your metal primer spray. I have no idea how I know this…but “gray” is the American spelling, “grey” is the British version. To remember the difference, think “a” for American, “e” for English. 😂
Nice work by the way - the restored piece is beautiful and I’m sure it will be a treasured heirloom for years to come.
Thank you! I see US companies spell it with an “e” all the time. That’s why I was getting confused.
@ glad to help! Thanks once again for your content, I absolutely love watching your videos.
Aren't the legs and pedestal adjustable?
The legs are adjustable but the chair is not.
Why didn't you paint the underside of the seat??
I stained the underside of the seat.
😻
Thank you!
❤
Thanks!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you!
Gray in the U.S. and Grey in Great Britain and Canada.
Noted for future reference haha

Gotta pay for these videos somehow. Not free.
I thought for sure you were going to screw both pieces to a base.
I want them to move independent of each other
I guess that you didn't fix the crack as seen at 14:41. A shame....
Crack was superficial.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼✨👊🏼🕶
Thank you!
please use an end wrench, not a vise grip.
Still got the job done…
While the craftsmanship is great and I know this is a restoration, dark brown and black do not strike me as great choices for children's furniture.
I just restored it to its original look.
Mid video ad yeah done with this channel and video, moving on.
You can just fast forward through the ad…
WOW..the music is annoying and unnecessary!!!
Thanks! I have mixed reviews on the music. Some love it some hate it.
