The Hoosier cabinet was invented in Indiana at the end of the 19th century. Indiana is known as the "Hoosier State". The Hoosier cabinet was popular for about 50 years before build-in kitchen cabinets became the norm in the United States and Canada.
The repair to this Hoosier cabinet started by repairing the tambour roll-up door in the part 1 video. In this video, Scott shows how to repair the loose joints on the door frames, how to use woodworking skills to add some new shelves, how to add new hardware to convert the flour bin door to a regular door, and how to age brass hardware so it is tarnished to look like the hardware that will be replaced.
Fixing Furniture is dedicated to educating viewers about furniture restoration. Our goal is to empower more people to repair quality furniture and prevent it from being thrown away. These are unique skills we're passing on to empower views to be successful in their furniture restoration projects.

Thanks for another great video. When I needed to age the brass hardware for my period-specific British campaign secretary, I found that the hardware aged more quickly and consistently if I rubbed it with a green scotch-brite pad first, to remove the clear coat. Some hardware has this coat and some doesn't it seems.

@TheSofamaster 3 месяца назад

Instead of using a thick sewing needle to get into tight spots i use a nail file, i find it very efficient, long enough & skinny enough with an abrasive face to remove old dried up glue, give it a try and add a few to your tool collection, love your videos, fantastic work 👍

Mr. Scott no nos decepciona con seguir regalándonos secretos y tips en la restauración de muebles, gracias por eso. Eso demuestra la bondad de su alma, sin egoísmos ni caretas.

Hey Scott, thanks for another great video. I've got a tip that might be useful for you. Use angled picks to clean that glue residue in tight areas instead of the sewing needle. I think it'd be easier and faster.

@edawang1671 3 месяца назад

Helpful and informative videos on RU-vid are quite rare these days - thank you for not putting out clickbait. Scott, it's always reassuring to hear you say "we're good to go" and see your emphasis on safety, but do you have any anecdotes when things were NOT good to go, and WEREN'T safe? Very often we see how things are supposed to be, and the safe way of doing things, but not often the very slight difference between that and a moment before disaster. Just curious!

At first, I wasn’t happy about you altering the antique Hoosier cabinet, but then you mentioned that it had already been worked on and changed before. I appreciate you using vintage slotted screws, and the aged hardware also looks nice. I wonder what she will use the short shelf for? I have a Hoosier cabinet that my dad refinished for me. It still has the flour sifter in it and I use it almost every day. I think it was made in the mid 1920s, it has a porcelain enamel worktop that does not slide out, the only one like that I have ever seen. It does not have a tambour door. My dad lives in Indiana and purchased some of the replacement parts from Kennedy’s. Thanks for the video!

@FixingFurniture 3 месяца назад

Oh, wow! Thank you for sharing that. As I installed that top (short) shelf, I was thinking the same thing - what will the customer use this shelf for. I think it would be a great spot to store some cooking magazines stacked up. I will have to ask when they pick it up. Cheers. Scott

Seamless work!! You really can’t tell the difference between old and new!!! One suggestion for you would be at the end of the video to show both the insides as well as the outside of each part of the finished item. Would have loved to see each door open, and see the function and final details all at once. Great job!!!

@dzymslizzy3641 19 дней назад

One of my aunts had a couple of those square hooks (in a different style cabinet) under the sink; she used them to hang the dish scrubber out of sight. I understand the difference between restoration and repair and refinishing/refurbishing, and why you would not want shiny new hardware on an antique item. However, my personal preference is not for things that look grungy, dingy, or rusty... 😉

Naming the chemicals used for aging the hardware would be helpful, even if in this case it would be "I'm using a pre-made brass aging solution". I think a video about ways to add & remove tarnish would be interesting.

@paulomeyer3900 3 месяца назад

When you immerse the entire new part in the oxidation product, the hinge pin and the mechanical iron parts (springs and other parts) will begin an oxidation process that may cause it to become blocked or difficult to function. It would be better to remove said parts and then oxidize the shiny parts.😃👍

An antique dealer told me to heat new brass fittings in the oven to tarnish them but gave no details as to time and temperature. I tried with little effect which may have been due to my being overcautious. I would certainly prefer a non-chemical approach. I wonder if Tom Johnson or Trina's dad would know about this method.

@myeyedea 3 месяца назад

I love all your videos, and congratulations on your silver play button! Question for you - Say another shop had started repairs on this cabinet and replaced all of the hardware just as you had with the chemical tarnish. But the customer brought it to you to finish the work on the rest of the cabinet - would you be able to tell that the hardware was brand new or the original after the change with tarnishing? You pointed out many details in the different screws as you dismantled the doors, so I'm curious whether someone 20 years from now would be able to tell this is 21st century hardware, or if the chemical tarnishing and standardizing of the screws makes that difficult to discern.

@mistytillema2398 3 месяца назад

Your videos are very informative. I have an early 1900s Seller’s Hoosier cabinet that’s in bad shape. One of the doors has water damage, with terrible bubbles throughout the top layer of the panel. The joints are solidly glued, so I’m not sure if it would be better to try and glue the bubbles down, or try and get the door frames apart.

@bobby-c7731 3 месяца назад

I very much enjoy your videos. I always learn something. I have a question… I assume the reason why the glue joints failed on the rails and styles is that they were glue with hide glue. As you said, it’s the only glue that is reversible. As you’re repairing, why use hide glue again? Why not use PVA wood glue to prevent further failures?

@stevenpressley5956 3 месяца назад

Hi Scott. Could you share some information on the syringe top bottles that you use for the vinegar and glues? Great video as always. Thanks.

@terryk_ 3 месяца назад

hope you took that flour bin handle off the top, it looks odd there now, simple hole fill, dab on a bit of stain and return along with the flour bin, it will keep her/him from having to do it on their end. Nice redo, by the way, those flour bins are sell able on the secondary market.

Brass handles in my kitchen get their patina back just by leaving them as is for a week. Does the polish slow the oxidation that much?

@debandmike3380 3 месяца назад

when you pull the jointer plane back towards you are you releasing some of the pressure, doesn't it add extra friction to the blade dragging it back across the wood dulling it quicker, I see a lot of woodworkers do that and just don't get it.

@chrisgavin342 3 месяца назад

Great vid, but i have to ask, why is the top shelf so high ?

@FixingFurniture 3 месяца назад

Good question. The customer provided the specs so that they could put binders on the middle shelf. That way recipe collections can be stored there. The top shelf is small, so that may be a good spot to store some cooking magazines stacked up. I hope that answers your question. Scott

@SparrowStockwell 3 месяца назад

@jimhollis41 3 месяца назад

You made reference multiple times to hide glue being the only reversible glue. Just as an FYI…Titebond Original wood glue is fully reversible with heat.

@joevano 3 месяца назад

Was the middle door able to open freely after converting the bin to a door and adding the latch? Looked like maybe the latch bar needed to be shortened a little.

@FixingFurniture 3 месяца назад

Yes, the middle door clears the latch as I showed in the video. The unique design of these hinges swings that edge of the door away from the hinges so it cleared the latch. I hope that answers your question. Scott

@joevano 3 месяца назад

@bobby-c7731 3 месяца назад
