  • In this video I will restore a vanity dresser from the 1930-s. First it doesn´t look too bad, but of you take a closer look, then you will discover lots of small and big problems.

    My dad taught me when I was woodworking: "See" with your sense of touch, your fingers will never lie.👍🏻😊

      There’s hundreds of these people on UA-cam ‘upcycling’ beautiful but tired antique and period furniture by chopping it up, throwing away the hardware, taking the dots off, slathering it with chalk paint. They mean well but some of them are ignorant vandals. In 25 years time, new people will be trying to put them all back together again bewildered that this was ever a ‘thing’.
