    One of the best restorations I’ve ever seen. Especially impressive is your repair methods using wood, original when possible, instead of filler. Final result is awesome.

    Don't Worry, Your Worth the Wait. So Much to Comment on! Some of the Other Restorers had a Challenge a couple of weeks ago. Basically, Restore a piece Headed for the Burn Pile. Yours would have Fit in quite Nicely! I had to Give the Win to the Italian Guy. His looked the Most like a Corpse! They All did Great! Loved Your Video! I really Noticed Your sense of Humor and Natural Timing both Intentional and Unintentional (like, 'Grrr... Nails'). The Restoration was Amazing! You Needed that 40 minutes to Show Everything You had to do. It Flew by anyway. The Love for your work Shows in the Piece. Nice to see the Dog, the Cat and the Wife(?). Thank You!

    • @Restorology
      @Restorology  Před měsícem +1

      This piece was supposed to be a part of that challenge but I got hung up on something else and couldn't finish this one in time to release it with everyone else. That is why I refer to this as being late!! Thanks for the very kind words and I hope to see you in the next one...it won't take so long to finish next time!

    Good trick to getting out broken screws or old nails in to use small diamond glass bit. It has to be just a bit bigger than the nail or screw. You drill just a little bit, so you can get some pliers or something similar to get out that nail. And then you can patch the hole with a dowel. Works like a charm.

    Incredible restoration.
    I've seen a lot of restoration videos more skill sets and techniques than I've seen packed into one video.
    That's talent! Congrats on an awesome final result. 👍

    Wow, what an amazing transformation. It was worth the wait and understandable why it was late. You were so meticulous with all of the glueing and adding of the little strips of wood , the re-glueing, sanding, just everything you did to make this piece of trash into a beautiful piece to live another 100 years. 💖

    This was definitely worth waiting for!!! I am SO impressed by your talents, your patience, and your dedication. This piece should have been trashed. But you saw potential, and you turned it into a masterpiece!! You surely would have won first place in this competition. The final result is a truly gorgeous desk, that will last for decades to come. WOW....I can't believe what you did to this. Just phenomenal!!! Congratulations on a job extremely well done! Looking forward to your next video.
