    The reveal in sunlight is great, but the starting point in sunlight would be a more just comparison. Lovely transformation!

    Very good job on the cabinet, it turned out very nice!
    Although the idea of ​​preserving the original lights is tempting, I think that the electrical installation of the dollhouse would look very good if you updated it for modern LED lamps, which not only adapt much better to the scale but can operate at lower wattages. They do not generate heat and are therefore less dangerous.
    Would you be so kind as to enable subtitles please? Although I can understand almost everything you say, from time to time my English fails me and I need that help. Thank you.

    The poor thing looked like kindling until you used the polish. I’m glad you fixed it up.

    Awesome result, well done. The veneer problems is the main reason I usually only work on solid wood pieces, gives less problems.

    I am liking the way you are saying why you are doing something in your restorations. Nice veneer save today.
    If your plan is to restore the dolls house, rather than renovate, then keep the bakelite switches. The are an unusual feature that are not seen in more modern houses, in fact I have never seen the like before in person or in images. If they can be rewired to suit LEDs, even better. Even if you are planning a renovation, keeping at least one switch will maintain that link to the house's history.
    I am a dolls house fan/enthusiast but definitely live in the wrong place to do anything close to what you are doing. Second hand houses and furniture are few and far between here. Anything new, I need to make myself or import, including all furnishings. I have absolutely no objection to you doing a separate playlist on just the dolls house, but am also interested in your restorations. My preference is towards videos that explain so I can learn, no matter the subject matter.

    Cupboard looked lovely once finished and the handles cleaned up gave it that final touch 😊
    Much as I would love to say to try and get the original lighting sorted so you can use those bakelite switches as they do look lively unfortunately I would say safety wise you are probably better updating the whole system 😢

    • @RhooseRestorations
      @RhooseRestorations  5 місяців тому +2

    I thought French polish was put on with a tightly folded cloth. Many coats.

    • @RhooseRestorations
      @RhooseRestorations  5 місяців тому

      You are correct if the polish is used as a final coat with a mirror finish. If it's going to be waxed as the final coat then it can be brushed on
