Ни один мастер на ютюбе не выполняет работу так качественно, что каждая мелкая щелка заделывается раствором и шлифуется. Не оставляется без внимания ни одно отверстие от старого гвоздика. Вы всё тщательно прорабатываете своими золотыми руками. Браво! 🎉

      Not impressed. Poor joint work. Trusting glue to hold where clearly something more is needed. Flat sanding directly across the turned spindles sands the carved portions flat. Losing details. Poor quality pin-striping. Not impressed.. just because it’s shiny does not means it’s “master craftsman” quality.
