    Just a few days ago I was remembering your regular videos, and I miss them. I think yours was the first channel that introduced me to home sawmilling, then came the chickens, pigs, bees, house renovation and all the rest. Glad to know that you're still around.

    Glad you restored the table and chairs to their natural beauty. Most of the self proclaimed experts would have painted it. Just needed a cleaning and some care. A lot of good meals were had around that table.

    This was great to see this table and chairs restored.
    No matter where it came from.
    1 thing for sure.
    With every stroke you did and every piece of rubbish removed, you increased the value of this table and chairs

    It’s nice to see someone that appreciates older wood furniture and is willing to restore its former grandeur. You did a really nice job on it and it looks awesome. Your little boy sure is growing and I hope his personality never changes. Take care of yourself.

    For anyone who's made a single chair, you know it was worth restoring them for the amount of hard work that went in to building it.

    Good to see you back Wes. Solid oak table and chairs are a blessings. All they needed was some TLC. What you are doing spiritually is the same thing. Restoring men and women to their original design and beauty. Life can wear people down until they also are neglected and rejected. Praise God for restorations.

  • @bgerros

    This is a dinning room set that was mass marketed in the late 90's-00's. I attend estate auctions and would see this specific style quite often. The table always seems quite sturdy, but the chairs always seemed a little more flimsy or shoddily assembled. Glad you could breath some life back into it. Loved the result of the restore-a-finish without having to sand/stain multiple layers.

  • @michelb.8953
    @michelb.8953 2 місяці тому +11

    My kitchen table is an oak claw foot, round, with a leaf to make it oval. I bought it new about 50 years ago and it still looks great. It's heavy and sturdy. No matter how many times the styles changed, I couldn't part with it. They just don't make them like it anymore. You came across a nice find to restore.

    You did a great job on the table and chairs. Thank you so much for filming it. We purchased a table with six chairs almost identical to your set 35 years ago from a local country store. It had a matching pie safe, too. The chairs need some serious repairs on them. The tabletop needs refinishing too. They are solid oak. It is almost impossible to find solid oak furniture now. It would not bore me if you filmed any chair repairs. I would appreciate it if you would.

  • @eleicajunstrom8724
    @eleicajunstrom8724 2 місяці тому +12

    I have that exact table and chairs. They do not make furniture like this anymore. My husband's Grandfather bought the table in 1890. The sets were made so you could purchase them separately once you saved enough to buy. We have the buffet and china cupboard, with the Lions heads and clawfeet. The are absolutely beautiful.

    • @lauramitchell6725

    • @eleicajunstrom8724
      @eleicajunstrom8724 Місяць тому +1

      @lauramitchell6725 Really. The reproduction probably cost 10 times what my husband's Grandfather paid. We have the Autumn Leaf Dishes that were sold by the Jewel Tea Company. They are beautiful and we still use them.

    • @joecoolmccall
      @joecoolmccall 18 днів тому +1

      yeah my parents have a similar table. Same legs and even gear system to expand the table to insert the leaf.
      The only difference is that theirs have a little more decorative work on the bottom

A solid table and chairs like that would cost a good 4 figures today and NOT be as good a quality as that was and it only took a little time and elbow grease - good work!! And yes - Thumbs Up!

    I bought that exact set from Art Van Furniture in Taylor, Michigan back in 2000, it cost me a little over $3,000.
    My ex ended up selling it. It's a beautiful set when it was new. I'm glad to see this type of set being refurbished.
    The set I had came with 2 of the center leaf expansions.

    My husband and I bought this exact table and chairs and it came with a leaf to go in the middle. And it only came with four chairs. But you could "pay extra" for the two end chairs with the arms. And we did so we had all six chairs. We bought it back in 2000. Since then we have a different table and chairs. I gave the other one to my cousin and she still has it to this day. Thank you for this video. I just found you. I think im gonna sub. to this channel. I enjoy watching folks bring back the beauty of old furniture.

    I’m extremely glad you found this beautiful table and chairs. I own its sister table. Ha! I bought a table and chairs very similar to yours many years ago on clearance from a place in Montgomery Alabama called McClendon Furniture. I don’t think they’re even in business anymore. But I love the beautiful honey color wood. I was so scared you were going to fix and paint your table and chairs. I really get really angry to see beautiful wood painted. Again very thankful that the Lord provided you with such a beautiful table and chairs. Well done in restoring them.

I refresh it, not a big job and sold it for a good price. 😊 From Canada

Our table and chairs were a beautiful dark color (looked like mahogany) and the table had one or two leafs we kept in the middle ‘cause there were seven of us. I always loved that set.

    Wow, look at the difference. Great job! Looks like a quality oak claw foot table. Beautiful restoration, chairs 🪑 are lovely too.
