    This retro radio cabinet was not working so I partially restored it and repurposed it so now it is a functional side table with a vintage/modern vive. I used natural wood and fabric as well as solid brass hardware to give it a cozy and inviting look. This is a perfect example of up cycling.

    I startred collecting anttiques when I was 16 & my mom & I lucked out on a free antique radio that we restored. Its still one of my favorite pieces. We were even able to get the exact reproduction fabric it originally came with & got it working perfectly by a vintage radio restorer. Its so cool.

    I’m not much of a commenter-my natural inclination is lurking - but your reminders about it making a difference has finally convinced me.
    I love all of your projects, of which I’ve seen many by now, and I especially enjoy the variety of sensibilities and ideas . The results are not always to my personal taste, but the range of styles and remaking techniques is always interesting.
    Also really impressive it the skillful way you’ve edited the videos. They’re never repetitive but I also get a good idea of how you’ve done things, exactly; this is something that does not always happen with other rehabbers.
    Thank you!

    What a wonderful display of skill & imagination. You have not simply restored an old worn out piece of furniture but you have very effectively repurposed it & given it a new life & a new role. Love the use of your new CNC machine. I am toying with the idea of getting one myself but just a simple one for cutting out jigsaw puzzles that I design. Love your work mate, cheers, Don from South Australia.
