    When you introduced this piece, I thought you had lost your mind. It looked beyond salvation. But your ingenuity and engineering talents rescued the project. It's such a beauty! The oven cleaner was great; its regular purpose is to dissolve grease in an oven, so it was perfect to dissolve the remaining finish. The outcome is fantastic - and thank goodness you didn't paint it! Cheers from Oklahoma, USA.

    I've just watched it four times. Those repairs to the veneer were invisible. The little button looked like it had always been there. Seriously well done. I would LOVE to have that in my house (if I had room for it!) and I'd just have to put a record player in the top of it. I have records but no player! Who even does that? And store a bottle of jack somewhere there to. It's beautiful. Seriously, well done. (I'm probably going to watch it again tbh).

    Very impressive! I loved how you used your intelligence to create the saw and cut the little curved piece of wood.

    I am so impressed with your creativity to compensate for the lack of a scroll saw. The end result is so good as to be invisible. Your final product is clever, beautiful & handy! Excellent work.
