    This was a failed up cycling project that I got off Facebook Marketplace and did my best to make it look as good as when it was new.

    I wonder if a local history museum would or could use the social security card. I've always found bits of history like that interesting! Lovely restoration as always. 💜

    The transition was impressive. In the be3ginning I wondered if it was different pieces cobbled together. By the end it made sense. And the color choices really worked. Nice piece. Love to see old things made beautiful and saved. Glad Rufus hasn't fallen down on his supervisory obligations.....

    The restoration of the exterior is stunning and you did a perfect job making it beautiful. Equally impressive is the detailed attention you give to the interior, underside, and back of each piece. The total restoration/refinish is beautiful.

  • @ericaeschenbacher4921
    @ericaeschenbacher4921 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +59

    Excellent restoration!! Doing a Google image search on this beautiful piece took me to an exact match for sale on Cherish. It appears to have had a small hutch with sliding glass doors that sat on top. As far as the mystery wood under veneer, molded plywood was often used to create the curves on the industrial mass produced furniture called Streamline Modern that emerged from the more labor intensive Art Deco style in the mid 1930s, which I believe this piece is representative of. 😻

    This is such a beautiful restoration. The repairs, in my opinion, make it look more authentic. After all, the average owner wouldn’t replace the entire veneer, either. I liked watching the laser, too.
    The refurbished hardware is simply gorgeous, and it looks great. You made an excellent choice with the stain and oil, and the drawers and interior are beautiful. That restore a finish stuff is pretty nifty, and I always love the results you get with the feed & wax.

  • @gracenurse3365
    @gracenurse3365 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    25:08 The imperfections and clues to your repairs are part of the piece’s history. They make it and the passage of time, the extension of effort, beautiful. This isn’t something put it a warehouse off a sales floor in the 1930s - it’s something with more experience, that has been loved.

    It is just lovely and I especially love the match you made with the walnut stain. And then the “chocolate” stuff on top was a great finishing touch. And just as I was missing the beeswax orange substance, there you were using it on the inside pieces. I think the laser cut circles were a genius move and turned out nicely. And bonus kitty!!!

    Jay, as always, this turned out just beautiful!! I have a feeling, that somewhere along the way the original cabinet doors were damaged and then replaced with ones that were "close enough". Maybe that's why they were trimmed with solid oak. This may not be it's first sympathetic restoration. Just a theory...
