Bringing New Life To A Classic Side Table: Restoration Project

In this video I'll be restoring a vintage octagonal side table and refinishing it in it's natural colour rather than the oppressive dark varnish that it had originally.

Refreshing finish giving that sad and dark little table a new life. My Dad who lived in Llantwit Major would have loved your workshop although I don't think his would have been so neat! He never met his Great granddaughter but I just know he would have had a dolls house in his workshop too.

[@RhooseRestorations]

Thanks, the workshop only looks neat because I shove everything behind the cameras before I start to record a video!

I thought you'd had a catastrophe, right at the end, until I realised they were "before" and "after" shots!
Nice job.

[@RhooseRestorations]

Nice!

Thank you! Will do!

[@josephkerley363]

That turned out quite nice. I was expecting a stain of some kind. But your solution is simple and elegant. Nice touch reusing the cut nails.

[@RhooseRestorations]

Glad you liked it!

I've never heard of shellac sanding sealer. Nice! When I finish my chair I'm going to try to find that. I just don't like the idea of the nails. Other than that what a beautiful table!

[@RhooseRestorations]

Thanks. The nails were original so I was happy to retain them

[@MissLady-pq4hc]

Just my opinion, restoration does not require any music.

[@RhooseRestorations]

It's a difficult choice, but I agree. Music is very subjective and can spoil the experience if you don't like the creator's choice.

[@bloggalot4718]

Water based shellac?

[@RhooseRestorations]

Yes! I used Parr's Shellac water based sanding sealer which is VOC free and contains no alcohol or solvent.

[@bloggalot4718]

@@RhooseRestorations that’s a new one on me, thanks for the info and great post.

[@suhayl5157]

seriously, you've done a good job but your videos need to improve if you are looking for more subscribers.

[@RhooseRestorations]

Thank you for the advice - what do you suggest that I change to improve things?
