A solid bottom would have made it a six board chest in my area parlance. Used for years by seafarers and trades people for voyages and to transport tools to the job. I found a small one, somebody had painted green. Washed and cleaned it is now living life as a foot stool and or overflow guest seating. Thanks for sharing your enjoyment of this revitalization.

Thanks for sharing!
What beautiful, large, neat dovetail joints.... some great carpentry skills here, not to mention the colour and grain of the cedar. Thanks!
Thank you very much!
très beau meuble rustique
It would have been nice to see how this piece ends up?
The Video Of The Finished Item will be up soon
It's looking beautiful. I hope that you do something with the bottom. It needs to be repaired, cleaned, and moisturized too. It is a shame that man has to abuse nature to the point of extinction.
There is another video up now where we polish and finish the trunk also sealing the inside and underside. thx for watching
Disappointed with the finished product. Just cleaned it.
Its not finished yet there is still another video to post polishing the chest. thx for watching
Want is the background noise?
Its a Highway
@@TheGoldenPastRestorationI thought it might be the Indy 500, down under. There were some airplane sounds too. Must be a busy area!
@@bakoresident6302 Its the Highway Sound. Timelapse makes it Sound like the Indy 500 :)
You mention the early European settlers cut down cedar trees to the point of extinction. I was taught in school they used them for fence posts and caskets! Understandable given Australian native trees are hard to cut but what a waste of a natural resource.
In 1802, restrictions were placed on the Australian Cedar Industry by the Governor, Captain Phillip King. Cedar was seen as the property of the crown. You needed a permit to Fell. Im sure the early settlers took no notice of this and used the Cedar Timber as fence posts and coffins being termite resistant. thx for watching
Waste of a natural resource, yes, typical Australian/British attitude.
Wears kitchen gloves to protect his hands while standing next to it in bare legs and feet in flip flops 🤦♂️ .
The Gloves are for Chemical not Kitchen. Nothing like a bit of paint stripper to splash on the legs. Good to wake you up :) thx for watching
What a mess.
Bare feet and paint remover . . .
Yep im from an Era that did not care much about health and safety
