    Oh I love this piece. My Mother back in the 70's had a trolley like that for Sunday tea on the verandah. Scones or crumpets. I think you did an amazing job. Thank you for NOT removing the fabulous wheels. The sound they make means times for treats. I live in South Africa.

      Hi there, from the UK. I lived in SA for 48 years, having moved down from Zambia, where I was raised. For as long as I can remember my Mom also had a trolley which we used regularly for sundowners on the verandah and also when visitors arrived.
      I loved South Africa and still have a lot of family and friends there.

    So satisfying to watch you transform a sad little forgotten tea cart back to better than brand new. I used to apprentice for my grandfather in his workshop next door when I was in high school. He built furniture but left a lot of the restoration work for me which I loved. Watching this video brought back the wonderful smells of woodshavings, mineral oil and his favorite pipe. I'm in my happy place after watching this. Maybe i should take a new look at my garage and make space for restoration!

      Hello Cathy, Yvonne from Melbourne, Australia here. You are lucky to have such warm feelings and memories of your Grandfather, and sharing a job that creates something special from broken and old things. I hope you have some of his self built items now that he’s gone. And I, myself, think that would be a wonderful thing to do….start resurrecting old or damaged furniture. Perhaps you could do what Jay does and have your own channel where we could watch your creations/ restorations and barrack for you. I just love fixing things that others would gladly throw away, but my projects are usually sewing or mending. Any saved object has its own vale, both for the repair-person and the end user! Go for it, girl😊❤️🦘

    • @cathyolague9408
      @cathyolague9408 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @yvonnepagan9912 yes I do!! I have a grandmother clock that he built from a cherry tree that he picked out himself. I have a round colonial table that transforms into a chair. Both items I was there to watch and learn from him. I have a couple things that I found at flea markets that I restored. I love wondering about the craftsman that built them and the family that owned them. Our Savior was a carpenter! What's not to love about that?! And I, like you, mostly work with sewing and crochet and a wide variety of crafts. I'm a jack of all trades and master of none! So wonderful to hear from someone on the other side of the world!

    In which we meet Hugo! I'm currently going back and watching all the videos in chronological order, and it's absolutely fascinating to see the progression. I love how you sometimes refer to your wooden "patients" as little old ladies or gentlemen , and I'm sure that same empathy made you a wonderful health-care worker. 🤗
    Though I'll never do furniture restoration, I believe that creativity feeds creativity, and you are SO creative!
    Thanks for giving us so many hours (days, weeks, months) of delightful inspiration.
    Sand on! 😉

      I am a recent follower, so I started watching newer videos and loved the cats. Then I went to the oldest videos, and no cats! So I was going through and looking for the first appearance, and here it is! I love Hugo & the gang, and Mando of course. Also, certain Easter eggs for me - like when did he replace his mallet (evidently in the next video), when is the floor in the shop going to get flooring, that sort of thing.

    Oak is such a beautiful wood. Your TLC with your projects really stands out and makes them shine. I know what you mean about prepping the backs and undersides. My grandmother did needlework all her life, and the back of her embroidery was as perfect as the front. That was an early lesson I learned and it has served me well, many times over. I really enjoy your channel and your gentle sense of humor. Thank you!!!

      that usually it had been made as a school project. It is fun to see their skill progress as they make more things. They started with basic boxes and went on from there. I now have a metal trunk from when my great grandmother immigrated from Germany in the 1880's. Do you have any suggestions as to how to proceed with this? Thank you for sharing your artistry wit th rest of us.

    Watching you restore an old table you found brought back some memories. Back in 1974 I acquired an antique oak rocking chair frame. Years later, I refinished the frame in a golden oak finish. A few years later, and a big life change, I found an upholsterer that would build up a period seat cushion. Many years later, I am sitting in this chair, in 2023! It will be passed down and probably last another hundred years.

    I’d love to see you use a hard carnauba wax and then hand buff it out. Nothing comes close to the final finish of that combo. I redid a few small chairs that had been in my family for a few hundred years. The result was AMAZING. Those wooden runners need to have some Gulf Wax (a very firm paraffin wax used in home food canning). It makes a very smooth glide

    Fantastic restoration and fun video as always. I am subscribed 😁. One trick to keep in mind is to use rounded side of the router against the straight edge - that way even if you slightly rotate it inadvertently the grove will still be straight.

      Thanks. It’s probably the last time I’ve done it. Got a nice guide fence and a plunge base for it.

    The inlay in wood gets me every time. It just does so much to modernize a look!!! And the skills for this…. Just wow.

    It’s just a small table on wheels my grandmother had one back in 1950, we had tea and cake on Sundays

      Too bad your granny was only able to keep her small table on wheels for one year.

    What a wonderful transformation of this table!!! Even the wheels look wonderful now!! The strip of brass really classes up the table!! Thank you for saving the table and making it look beautiful!!

    My Dad was a carpenter & so were several of his brothers. I must have it in my DNA because it's always been of interest to me. I should have acted upon that interest when I was young. I guess it's never to late. I'm retired & I would love to start repairing woodwork. This turned out to be a beautiful finished product. Thank you for sharing.

    I think when you bring a piece of furniture from the past back to life it thanks you. People think they are inanimate objects but I don't view them as such. A person created it touched it and left their presence on them.
    You made it look beautiful again and I'm sure it's thanking you.

    Such a pleasure to see a masterful restoration of a sad little cart that would have ended up in a landfill, most likely. Most of us can't accomplish anything like that. But when we come across a piece like that we wistfully wish we could save it... and in this case you did! The little tea cart that could!

    I smiled as Jay said "Hello, beautiful people!"... I was at first skeptical about the inlay, but then... really really beautifully done!

    This guy is absolutely gorgeous! His little “shoes” really completed the look, along with the inlay. Marvelous job!

    Those woodworm holes seemed so evenly spaced I wondered if something hadn't been put across the table with drawing pins or carpet tacks. Just a thought! XXX
