    The narration completely ruins the video. Every time I wanted to hear the natural sounds of the tools, sanding, scraping, etc, the voice over comes in to add nothing of value to the video.

    Well, sometimes you have to stop and think.. Restoration stands for restoring, not remaking.
    Great job, you saved that dresser's life!

    weird choice to use such narrow veneer strips, and the old veneer would have probably come off easier with water plus heat instead of just heat, since it's most likely hide or bone glue (gelatine). soak it in water first, then steam it with a wet rag and clothes iron. alternatively, if you want to crack open a hide/bone clue joint dry by utilizing its brittleness, it helps a lot to let some drops of 95%+ ethanol soak into the joint, that causes the glue to crack a lot easier (especially old glue joints) while not weakening the wood - though of course it does damage most wood finishes, so it needs to be applied very sparingly. that's what violin makers like myself use to open violins or crack off their fingerboards (small drops of alcohol on a butter knife used as a wedge).

    • @jacobbwalters8133
      @jacobbwalters8133 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Veneer is a thin strip of high quality wood, usually teak, mahogany, or walnut. It is traditionally placed on top of lower quality woods like pine or birch. Newer pieces sometimes use cheaper base materials like particle board, which are more difficult to restore and less structurally sound.

    this is pro work no question. BUT sorry for my honest opinion: you have to see that this furniture is old, not new. Now it looks like fresh from the factory - or even worse: from IKEA. target completely missed. I also restore old cars, especially the interior of cars. Here the goal is always: Original Condition, and not according to whim. This furniture doesn't look like 100 years old. it`s like brandnew. history furniture like this always loses its soul if you don't do it the right way. you can compare it easily by stopping the video at 05:12 - then compare it.
