Thank you for posting another video! We miss you! I knew you were around and doing okay because I keep seeing your comments show up on my other favorite woodworkers channels! This table is lovely! You did a beautiful job with it. Always fun to watch you and your work.
Another nice project Larry, and kudos on owning up to the mistake with the dowel. will save someone time in the future .And I watch and agree about Thomas Johnson. been watching both of you for some time now and enjoy both of you. Thank you for taking the time to produce these video's and for sharing.
Great restoration, the repair to the base is probably far better than the original and a lot stronger. As you said it is unlikely that anyone would want to separate the two pieces. Don't leave it too long before your next release. 👍👍
Nice job as always Larry ,I want to Wich you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year to, nothing but the best to you thanks for all the great videos Ed
its funny you mentioned Thomas Johnson I was watching him and you came up in the recommended line up . I think he is a master but iv'e learned a lot from you thank you for the videos and keep them coming.
Yes Thomas Johnson is amazing....I call him a magician lol...but Larry don't sell yourself short. You're pretty amazing too. Between the both of you I have learned soooooo much on how to take care of my antique furniture! I love that table!!! As Thom would say....it looks pretty good lol
Another great video. Thank you. When I do veneer repairs I like to do them before I strip the furniture (providing they show up then) that way the squeeze out is on the old finish not bare wood. I saw your special putty knife. I buy small flush cut saws from Harbor Freight and I had an old dull one and I ground off the teeth and rounded the corners and it is great for loose veneer. It is thin and if necessary you can get eight inches or so under the veneer. Hope you have a great Holiday season and don't work too hard
Hey, Good to see ya. Table came out GREAT!!!!! In my area of the world (High Plains of Colorado) the Furn. bizz has improved just a bit, not great, but better. I have had some luck with upholstered stuff, sofas and chairs from the 50's & 60's, I have a lot of fabric from that era. Keep on the sunny side.
Good job! Really am kinda sad it's no longer lighter in the center and got darker at you went to the edge of the table. That color gradation is my favorite part of depression era furniture.
Hi Larry Enjoyed watching you skillfully give this table a new lease on life! Just FYI .....I have had good luck using wide stainless steel drywall finishing knives in veneer repairs. Wallboard brand is a favorite. When applying the glue to the veneer for this specific table might you have let gravity help you out by remounting the top vertically? I have also warmed up glue (both yellow and premade hide) to reduce it's viscosity so it "runs" in to tight paces better. regards vic
Stand the work piece on end and then gently open the separated veneer with a putty knife, and put the glue down into the void. Lay the piece down flat then work the glue around. You will get more glue in and better coverage
Nice work looks great. I would only give you 1 tip that is, chill out bring some Humor in your vids. Your airpistol had so much pressure why? Also i have been watching Tom Johnson vids he is just great.

LOL. Yes, I do spend some time watching TH-cam. There is a lot of talent out there and it's great to learn new things.
Both you and Thomas Johnson are masters of the restore/refinish trade! Thank you for sharing your ideas and your skills!
Great restoration job again.... so good to see a master craftsman who really cares about every detail... brilliant work!
Thank you very much!
Nice work as always.

I always thought he should have a TV show on PBS, like This Old House. I'm sure people would find his work fascinating.
....I so enjoy seeing old furniture being given a new life!

Absolutely correct. In this case, I felt I had plenty of glue in there to effect the repair. Thanks for watching!
O-Tay.
BIG fan of Tom Johnson
