An old cabinet maker, 60 years ago, taught me to apply the finish (stain, paint, shellac, polish etc. ) from the inside out and from the bottom up as you did. Thank you. Narragansett Bay
Well done, basically a table that was reduced to nothing you made special again. It shows it age, it shows that it has been through a well used and loved life. You saved it and made it whole again. I like the way you did it. Your repairs and restoration are yet one more signature in its long life. I like what you did... it suits the table. It would, certainly, we a welcome addition in my home. I am sure who ever is lucky enough to have it will love it. splendidamente fatto, complimenti
Early 20 th century table made from timber cut on a band mill, likely chestnut, dome head wood screws. Since you are skilled with a chisel and router did you consider putting those cleats on the underside, it would have been less obvious. The reason the top cracked was because the end boards stopped the planks from moving. Elongating the screw holes helps with expansion and contraction. Oxcalic acid would have been fine, if they were water.
Very good observation and comment. I was going to say the same. Probably unglue the plains and glue it again and in the case that they don't fix properly add the cleats underside to avoid to break the plains unnecessarily. As well, the oxalic acid could support you you take the black points of the top, but it's not always efficient. Good effort.
У вас прекрасно получается, сразу видно, что вы знаток своего дела. Стол получился как новый. Спасибо вам огромное за ваши работы. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you for sharing the way you gave new life to this piece, it was very satisfying to watch. The comments are also very helpful I learnt that putting the butterfly joints on the underside might have been better but the way you did them had a charm to them too. Keep these wonderful projects coming they are relaxing to watch, don't loose your passion and keep learning new techniques. Bravo!
Согласен с большинством операций и результатом, однако шпонки "бабочки" положено ставить с изнанки, а не с лицевой стороны. Судя по видео такая возможность была. А так все хорошо!
Adorei o vídeo Não sou ninguém para avaliar o trabalho mas tenho meus critérios pessoais: 5 manutenção da originalidade; 7 pela aparente rigides do móvel; 10 pelo uso de ferramentas ; 9 pelo respeito às partes originais; 10 pelo acabamento; 9 aparência final; 20 pelo vídeo num todo Média = 10 Obrigado pelo divertimento ❤
Maybe your skills are not 100% professionell, but I like your style. Not everything has to be perfect in the eyes of everybody. Its enough when you love it! Even imperfection can be perfect! 🤗
OMG! according to some you weren't playing by the wood workers book of Hoyle. I enjoyed everything you did for it's own self sake. I do not have the knowledge some have, but it is not my place or desire to judge the way you do things. That old table will last for a couple of generations more. It was destined for the trash till you took an interest in it. Kudos to you! Sorry I came onto this rather late. Another piece saved from oblivion.
Pues a mi no 🤷♀️🤷♀️ a mi no me gusta que la haya dejado con esas manchas negras. Yo hubiera pulido toda la mesa. Otro tipo de manchas quedan mejor para haberla dejado vintage 😊😊
All of those spots tell a story. A long old story. No spots, no story. It would look very good all polished up, with no spots. But, then it would look like every other polished wooden sardine table. Only this one looks like this. And it took a long time for it look this way. But it's okay if you don't care for this look.
I am so glad that you kept the patina. The cleats could have gone underneath but I am not in your workshop so maybe you saw something not obvious on camera.
OMG some of you are just brutal. Obviously with thousands of dollars in equipment you get a different result. Perhaps you could view these self taught efforts as akin to what an owner might do to repair his table. This is not a museum piece or a how to tutorial. Is it really necessary to stroke your ego at the expense of another?
Great job, I love butterfly clamps, they give such interest and strength to a piece. I also love that you kept the 'leopard' stains on the wood, part of it's 'life'.
Gran bel lavoro.. conservando la giusta patina del tempo.. forse gli inserti potevano essere trattati a mordente per farli un po' più scuri? O forse con il trattamento a olio di lino finale non sarebbe andato troppo d'accordo, e magari a quel punto sarebbe andato meglio un trattamento con la gommalacca (ma poi sarebbe forse stato troppo delicato per un tavolo rustico)? Grazie in anticipo per una eventuale risposta e complimenti ancora per il lavoro.
Nice restoration, except for the bow-ties. Personally, I hate them...they simply ruin the look of any project when they are visible. I think, at least, a darker wood to disguise them a bit better would have helped here. It would have been even better to put them on the bottom of the table, if possible.
I like seeing the bow ties, in a wood with the most contrast. Funny how we share interest and also have unique taste. I'll look at bow ties a little differently now.
Elinize sağlık çok güzel işler çıkarıyorsunuz Türkiyeden izliyorum, ama bu restorasyonda ahşabın birleşme yerleri açılmıştı onları tamamen bir birinden ayırıp yeniden yapıştırsaydınız ortaya daha güzel ve orjinal bir restorasyon çıkardı diye düşünüyorum. Teşekkür ederim.
Strange bows on the front side of the table, the table wobbles a lot, the front panel is not restored at all (spots, curved surface), several holes on the rear side.
Great job. Looks rustic. I would have tried to get the stains out with oxalic acid and given it a sanding. But that's just personal preference. It looks more aged now I suppose.
I thought about removing the stains, I was afraid that a part that was too light and new and an aged part would come out. However, seen live it is not bad.
A personal preference as you say but a bit too spotty fpr me too. Everything else I love. I often wonder why oxalic acid is reached for before a bench plane in these situations. The acid needs to be rinsed down after which creates its own problems.
