Restoring my 1950's School Desk
Переглядів 2254 місяці тому
Today I'm restoring an old desk I used when I was a kid. Even back then it was considered an antique, and i think it's over 70 years old! It's also my first time trying wood bending, and overall I'm pretty happy with the end result. All the best with your future projects! God Bless.

Man, this was helpful!!
Great 👍😊
What happens if your landlord has done a landlord special and you can't get the pipe underneath undone?
Hmm, I guess tell him it's his problem now? 😬
Worked perfectly. Thanks so much!
Awesome!
Thanks for the video! I didn't think the solution would be quick and simple. I try and it works perfectly.
Awesome! Great to hear 😊👍
Thank you very much!!! Simple and easy steps thanks to you!!! God bless you
Thanks 🙏😊
Thanks for this! Didn’t need to do the pipes but it helped me figure it out
Great 👍
Mine was a worn out plug
🫠
Brilliant. Next project sorted
😊👍
Naaah. Use a cardboard sheet for the template.
Even with one leg being off set?
Ugh I'm glad it's easy but I don't feel like digging around under my sink and cleaning gunk😭😭
😬
Thank you very much for this video, you just saved me £165 🙌
Awesome! That's great to hear 😊
You couldn’t have explained/showed that any better. I nominate this for a Golden Plunger for DYI plumbing video of the year
Thanks 😀
Perfect. But what if the idiotic original builders used a nail to secure the bottom section that has rusted & broken off when removal was attempted?
oh no! Use the bath? 🫣🫠
@mark_makes_ luckily, the housing for the rail covered the offending article & I got away with drilling slightly above the offending protrusion. For the minute, at least, time will tell. Lol.
I fixed my blind friends stuck sink!
Awesome, good on you 👍
I got all the water out. Dried it good. Used packing tape and it was out.
Cool, sounds good 👍
Before attempting anything it's also worth trying with a plunger Managed to get mine up that way 😅
Sounds good 👍
Awesome video, definitely saved me a headache!
Awesome 👍
Спасибо !!!!)))
😊👍
Thank you!! Sorted it out in minutes thanks to your video !
Awesome, glad you got it fixed quickly 🙂
Grind it half way
Sure 👍😊
I just used a plunger.
Nice
@@mark_makes_ might you know why my pop up plug moves up and down at a slight angle? The mechanism is fully srewed in and secure. This is why mine gets stuck. I actually have this problem with two basins in my house.
This is exactly how I did it. Great minds think alike. It took what seemed like the most difficult charger to mount to the easiest one to mount.
😀👍
life saver! Thanks!
No problem! Glad it worked out for you 🙂
Thank you so much !!
Awesome, no problem!
As a single older woman, I super appreciate your clear steps. Haha...I never throw old tooth brushes away....so handly for lots of cleaning jobs
😀 Awesome! Glad you were able to get it sorted.
Thank you! This happened to me too and your video helped me get it unstuck
Glad you got it sorted 😊👍
Hi Mark, Great work and thanks, enjoyed the video. Can I ask what your process or where you got the Union Jack stencil from? Did you just make it yourself? I will email you too. Cheers.
Hey Mike Thanks! I printed one off from a picture online. It took a couple of goes to get the scale right though. I ended up cutting it up from 2, A4 bits of paper to create a bit of a stencil. Hope that helps 😊
@@mark_makes_ Hi Mark, Thanks! I'll give it a go. Cheers.
Ok im doomed nothing is working it’s been blocked for like 9 months I am losing hope
😬 oh no! That's a fairly long time. Might be time to consider a plumber... 🪠
Thank so much. You have helped me a lot
No problem 👍😊
WD40 is not a lubricant, it's a water dispersant - the clue is in the name!
Roger that 👍
Thanks this is the only thing that worked and in my opinion the most sensible thing. A little surprising there are people saying to hit stuff with a hammer lol
Haha, thanks. Glad you got it sorted 😁
Great video. Many thanks for saving this old girl a plumber call out.
Awesome! thanks 😊
Do you have links for the pieces to for the faucet? And what sink did you use? I’m not a carpenter by any means… not sure if you can further explain how you got it to hook to the hose. Love this feature
I don't have any links sorry, but I do have a UA-cam short which explains just the connectors part of the video. Hopefully you'll find that helpful. The sink wasn't any brand in particular just one I got secondhand from salvage. Hope you find that helpful. All the best with your projects! ua-cam.com/users/shortsG2eR9u_kjMc?si=5en5iWS5kqA7GWLN
Metal can be dangerous in ponds and tanks by poisoning the fish. Is aluminum safe or did you just take a chance?
Yep, aluminium is all good. Non corrosive. I've had it for over 3 years now and the fish are all sweet. It's powder coated as well so you no direct contact with the metal. 😊
Bigfoots don’t take care of nothin’!
Lol 😂
Time for a re build!
Yea, wouldn't take much. All the materials are there! 😅
solid work, i did it little different, don't screw them full inn. i only screw them till the top of the rubber sockets with 3,5x30. so i can push the whole rubber sockets in👍🏼
Sounds good!
what a legend!!!
Thanks! 😅
Great video, thanks Mark! This was the only method that worked for my issue.
Awesome, glad it's sorted for you 😁
Never thought I would end up here, but damn your video was a life saver, putting qualified plumber on my resume after that ordeal, thanks a lot king
Awesome, no problem 😃 Glad you got it sorted
I watched a few videos on how to fix my stuck sink stopper but yours was the only one that worked thank you so much & I cleaned it as well to help avoid it happening again
Awesome, glad it worked! That's good, hopefully it'll be sorted for good 😊
Someone has to ask, why
I just had this problem… I saved the hassle and just used the plunger to pop it up and grab it
Cool, you still might want to unscrew the top so you can clean and lubricate the mechanism to avoid it happening again 👍
Next time hit up Carbatec and Timbecon over there mate, likely can get you the right blade in a day or two shipped or instantly if you are close enough to visit 😊 Now you got them best make tastings a regular thing 🍺😊
Awesome, thanks 👍
Appreciate the vid
Thanks 😊
Thank you so much for this video!!! It really helped me after several times tried another way. You don't know how grateful I am
That's awesome, no problem. Glad you were able to get it sorted 👍😊
Lifesaver! Ty!!
Awesome! No problem 😃
Good to see you back in front of a camera. Hope the Handyman business has been keeping you busy.
Thanks! Yep, I have plenty of work on! 💪😊
Thank you!
No problem!

Not sure sorry
