    When you introduced this piece, I thought you had lost your mind. It looked beyond salvation. But your ingenuity and engineering talents rescued the project. It's such a beauty! The oven cleaner was great; its regular purpose is to dissolve grease in an oven, so it was perfect to dissolve the remaining finish. The outcome is fantastic - and thank goodness you didn't paint it! Cheers from Oklahoma, USA.

I would LOVE to have that in my house (if I had room for it!) and I'd just have to put a record player in the top of it. I have records but no player! Who even does that? And store a bottle of jack somewhere there to. It's beautiful. Seriously, well done. (I'm probably going to watch it again tbh).
