    I fairly sure it’s a sales desk from a shop. The sales clerk would have the open shelf facing towards them to keep the money box and whatever else they might need and the pretty side was to the customers where they could sit while being served. I’ve seen old ones similar to that here in England. It was for the ladies to sit and wait while their orders were filled in high end shops. Anyway you did a fabulous job with this piece. It’s wonderful. Bravo.

      Thank you for showing how to be careful with leaded paints. I did a whole 27 room historic Italianate Villa removing all wood surfaces of several layers of paint . Only I had many dogs who suffered from my ignorance. That is why I thank you for your care .

    Finally! Lead paint removal 👏🏼👏🏼 I have a piece I pulled out of someone’s trash yesterday 🤣 When I started trying to remove the several layers of paint I realized due to the age that I just needed to stop and buy a lead test. I have yet to do that but I’m about 90% sure this has lead paint. I appreciate this video more than you could possibly know. 👏🏼👏🏼❤️🙂

    So glad I found your tutorial because I am tackling an antique sewing table that tested positive for lead paint. Its been a BEAR to strip. I spent ALL weekend working on only the top sections and it's still not completely off. I was wondering if it was worth my time. And then I saw your video. 'm going to order the Lead Out and will hopefully have the same success you did. Thanks for sharing your project!

    Wow! Finally someone speaking on lead paint! I’m always watching furniture tutorials and rarely hear mention on lead. It’s something we should know about but watching so many of these videos sometimes gets us wanting to work on things. This happened to me I just started sanding down a piece in my apartment not thinking about it till I was half done. Lead tested it and sure enough. Positive. I’m sure others have done the same since furniture tutorials are pretty popular. And don’t even get me started on asbestos lol. I’ve never seen your channel before your title got me to click! This is sweet thank you!

    • @diyshiitake6733

      Oh I’m sure that I’ve sanded down lead paint at some point as well. Especially in the beginning of this journey. The exterior of my house is painted in lead paint and I plan on stripping it next summer so I really wanted to use this piece as practice to learn the process before I started the huge project of stripping my entire house! 😂 Thanks for watching and welcome to the channel!
