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.
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?
@@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!
@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
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.
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!
