    This was a failed up cycling project that I got off Facebook Marketplace and did my best to make it look as good as when it was new.

    I love watching the small repairs. It's art.

      Very fine craftsmanship, NOT art. "Art" means something else. I DO AGREE that he is one of the finest.

    I wonder if a local history museum would or could use the social security card. I've always found bits of history like that interesting! Lovely restoration as always. 💜

    The restoration of the exterior is stunning and you did a perfect job making it beautiful. Equally impressive is the detailed attention you give to the interior, underside, and back of each piece. The total restoration/refinish is beautiful.

    The transition was impressive. In the be3ginning I wondered if it was different pieces cobbled together. By the end it made sense. And the color choices really worked. Nice piece. Love to see old things made beautiful and saved. Glad Rufus hasn't fallen down on his supervisory obligations.....

    Excellent restoration!! Doing a Google image search on this beautiful piece took me to an exact match for sale on Cherish. It appears to have had a small hutch with sliding glass doors that sat on top. As far as the mystery wood under veneer, molded plywood was often used to create the curves on the industrial mass produced furniture called Streamline Modern that emerged from the more labor intensive Art Deco style in the mid 1930s, which I believe this piece is representative of. 😻

    This is such a beautiful restoration. The repairs, in my opinion, make it look more authentic. After all, the average owner wouldn’t replace the entire veneer, either. I liked watching the laser, too.
    The refurbished hardware is simply gorgeous, and it looks great. You made an excellent choice with the stain and oil, and the drawers and interior are beautiful. That restore a finish stuff is pretty nifty, and I always love the results you get with the feed & wax.

    Your salvaging the top veneer is nothing short of miraculous! I looked very hard at the final result and couldn't see anything worth noting. If the repairs are visible "in person", they can't but give the piece character. I love watching you work.

I love all the videos I have viewed and your furniture is beautiful. I went back to some of the older videos and it is cool to see how your talent and ability have grown.

  • @thudson4407
    @thudson4407 Před 7 měsíci +10

    Jay, as always, this turned out just beautiful!! I have a feeling, that somewhere along the way the original cabinet doors were damaged and then replaced with ones that were "close enough". Maybe that's why they were trimmed with solid oak. This may not be it's first sympathetic restoration. Just a theory...

  • @chandarussell

    It is just lovely and I especially love the match you made with the walnut stain. And then the “chocolate” stuff on top was a great finishing touch. And just as I was missing the beeswax orange substance, there you were using it on the inside pieces. I think the laser cut circles were a genius move and turned out nicely. And bonus kitty!!!

    I think the repairs look great. They honor the history of the piece; they are a tidy, neat repair that says, "I have loved a little but I still look good!" I really like your esthetic; you have a knack for accentuating the natural beauty of each piece. Also, your neighbors have great taste in cats--they are all so beautiful!

  • @CarloTiscalli
    @CarloTiscalli Před 7 měsíci +3

    Amazing restoration, you are one of the best on CZcams and I enjoy watching your videos again and again. My Guess for the MDF is that this was once a much loved piece of furniture, but at some point in the last 40 odd years, the Doors have been badly damaged, perhaps in a move, or from Woodworm or rot or just carelessness. They have paid someone who like yourself is a skilled carpenter to refinish the doors, but rather than just simply replace the door, they have cut out the damaged portion, replaced it with MDF, leaving the Oak surround so that it is more structurally sound when it comes to mounting the hinges, and if there is a chance of the sideboard coming into contact with water, say in a scullery or working kitchen or a high humidity location, as MDF would simply suck up the water and blow.

    Thank you thank you for always teaching how to create pieces that are done correctly. I’ve learned from you and one other flipper the importance of taking care of the the pieces with the idea they have integrity for having lasted as long as they have. And, then assuring their integrity will be in tact for the future. H Styles song: “you know it’s not the same as it was”, rings true here. These pieces are not once as they were, & it is a great honor to help them become what they will now be. Thanks always for choosing the old and broken and creating new futures for them.
