    My father could build anything. He was a watch maker and built his own watch repair benchs and other cabinets. We lived on Guam for 5 yrs from 1955 to 1960. Furniture was expensive so he built all of our chest of drawers and our dining room table out of Philippine mahogany. I was his helper so watching your videos brings back a lot of good memories.

    Absolutely beautiful! I personally revamped, while keeping the patina, a library desk ( 1930s?). My dilemma was to keep the overall look opaque, not shiny, after the work/repairs were done. I managed semi opaque finish, and still found it warm and faithful to the piece. My desk is about the same color as your table. Long story short, your table color is very warm and welcoming; however, perhaps a little shiny for my personal taste. England may be different in the "cultural wood world" and tastes differ, I guess. Altogether, absolutely perfect repairs because, of course, you are a professional! Well done.

    Wow this project was fantastic. I think it is one of my favorites. The table turned out so very beautiful. I hope you take this as a compliment as I got a George Nakashima vibe off the look of the finish. Whoever eventually owns this beauty has a treasure for generations. I would love to see a dove tail video.

    It looks really nice! You did a great job in restoring this table. It looked impossible at first. But you did it!

    Beautiful job! I really enjoy your videos. My son is a cabinet, furniture maker. He loves to see wood grain instead of covering it up with paint. Love what you did with the drawers and new top!

    This video was so enjoyable. What a stunning restoration! I'm in love with how you used the table top to construct the drawers
