- Honey Bee really did it this time! She has a habit of bringing home wounded furniture. All she has to do is bat her eyes at me and say, "you can fix it right?" I have a hard time saying "no" LOL.
There are websites where you can buy replacement side brackets that allow for the sliding top to work and provide more counter space
I will look into that thanks!
This. The one my mom had had brackets like that. She used it as a sewing station.
Wow thank you for sharing
Absolutely!
Nice work, tge tin drawers are for bread or veggies ( potatoes,onions) ....i'd polish that chrome detail too
My Hoosier cabinet has a flour hopper.
I'd be lying if I said I knew what a flour hopper looks like
Basically a shaft for on demand flour@@mericanhoney
My flour bin had a glass window so you could see how much flour was left. Also, a sifter attached to the opening where the flour came out.
You made that look WAY too easy!!!! Gorgeous!
Thanks!
Beautiful work!
Great job. I wish I had found it. I’ve always wanted to redo and KEEP a Hoosier
Thanks! It was a lot of work but now it will be around another 75 years!
It looks so nice, well done!
Thanks Brother!
That was a potato box, not a bread box👍
Good to know Thanks!
I was told the metal drawers were to keep mice out!
@@debbibowen don't want mine eating the potatoes 👍
Should do the trick
That WAS a bread box! Ours actually had little vent holes that was in the shape of a wheat seedling. People kept potatoes in a cellar or packhouse.
Unbelievable! You really outdid yourself! Really nice :)
😊 thanks!
When `I was restoring my Hoosier I found Kennedy Hardware (google them!) and they probably can find the supports that attach the top to the bottom so you can slide out the porcelain work surface and can give you tips on repairing the sliding door. Beautiful cabinet, you were so lucky to find it with all the pulls intact!
Thanks for the tip!
@AmericanHoney it takes someone with a very keen eye (apparently a spouse just as keen to restore...lol) to see the potential of that find! I hope you find the brackets that allows the shelf to slide. Some models were even more amazing with hidden flour/sugar dispensers and rotating spice racks! Can you please show a more detailed (slower) version of the video...especially the internal restoration of the roll door and base
The spouse had a lot to do with this one for sure!
What type of wood did you use for the sides?
Underlayment from the home depot. (real thin plywood)
@@mericanhoney thank you! I just found your video about Hoosiers, and I greatly appreciated the information! After pricing out what it would cost to get my cabinet restored by a restoration person, I’ve arrived at the conclusion I need to do it myself. I want to keep it as original as possible for the historical aesthetics. God bless you and your family, praying your house sells!
@@karielkins7630 good luck with your project. Thanks for the prayers, but our house isn't for sale 🤷♂️
How many hours did this take?
It was a while ago now. Maybe 8-10?
Hi there, what did you use on the counter top? I just got a hoosier that needs some work and the counter has some chipped/worn spaces in the enamel. we've never used enamel paints and don't really know how to go about fixing it so that we don't damage it at all.
I just cleaned it and flipped it around so the chipped part is hidden under top portion. I know there are people who re glaze old enamel bath tubs. You could look for someone like that to help you?
What material and what thickness did you use for the bottom of drawers and the bottom of lower cabinet?
Underlayment from the Home Depot. It's basically just really thin plywood
How do you take the roll top part out without breaking it and do you know if it’s possible to put it back in
There is a slat on my cabinet that holds the tandoor door in. And yes, it will go back in. Look for a narrow slat on the top or bottom that is only held in with a few tiny nails.
