There are no sponsors or paid product placements. If this changes I will be clear and transparent. Any endorsements for antique shops or artists are friends listed on the Cottack website. Any product shown is because I think they are good and fit for purpose. The projects you see on TH-cam are often paid for by clients, however, these are charged at cost or at a nominal hourly rate, and are not enough to make a standalone business and the workshop as a whole does not break even. I spend extra time and effort to make the video content you see. Thank you!

Restoring a Victorian Gate Leg Table: Oil-Based vs. Water-Based Stain?
Initially, I thought this Victorian drop-leaf table would be a simple repair and refinish. In this video, I delve into the details of choosing between a water-based stain and an oil-based stain for the finishing process. I'll also demonstrate how you can restore this table at home using simple, store-bought tools and equipment.
Toffee, the Bengal cat, makes her usual valuable interventions!
In the video, I use Gilboy's wax, and I have a discount code for you if you would like to order a kit from them to do this at home:

Spice Cabinet from 1665! Restoration and repair of this old antique brought back to life

John Lewis contemporary oak dining chair furniture repair
มุมมอง 4955 หลายเดือนก่อน
Repair to a 20 year old oak dining chair from a set of 8, bought from John Lewis. The chair has been used by a family and has been previously glued with 'no more nails' which I have to remove. One of the tenons is damaged and needs a balanced approach to repair. I've released 2 videos today. The other is furniture restoration rather than repair and can be found here: th-cam.com/video/E2E-rFhu6D...

Secret Lurk (long single pole used by telemark skiiers instead of 2 ski poles) ash and walnut
มุมมอง 1.5Kปีที่แล้ว
We were asked to make a surprise 50th birthday present - a Lurk. A Lurk is a long single pole traditionally used by telemarkers instead of 2 ski poles. They either have rounded ends or a spike at one end and, ideally, have a 'hidden' hip flask. For ease of transport, it will often be able to unscrew or separate in the middle. There are not many videos on TH-cam covering Lurks, but one excellent...
