    Upcycle is what today's terminology is. Making something old into something better, usually with a different purpose.

    Corner tables are very unique! I like the vibe. I used to have an old tabletop radio that I inherited from my step-father, but it was stolen in 2011. I haven't been financially able to acquire another one yet.

    I’m not much of a commenter-my natural inclination is lurking - but your reminders about it making a difference has finally convinced me.
    I love all of your projects, of which I’ve seen many by now, and I especially enjoy the variety of sensibilities and ideas . The results are not always to my personal taste, but the range of styles and remaking techniques is always interesting.
    Also really impressive it the skillful way you’ve edited the videos. They’re never repetitive but I also get a good idea of how you’ve done things, exactly; this is something that does not always happen with other rehabbers.
    Thank you!

We were even able to get the exact reproduction fabric it originally came with & got it working perfectly by a vintage radio restorer. Its so cool.

    My friend who is an electrical engineer and 73 years old nearly had a heart attack when you ripped out the speaker! He LOVES the old valves inside and nearly cried himself to sleep. Funny, how one person's idea of furniture or older item is precious and to another is junk. I love the finished cabinet, and am glad you kept the heritage of the piece by keeping the old labels.

Love the use of your new CNC machine. I am toying with the idea of getting one myself but just a simple one for cutting out jigsaw puzzles that I design. Love your work mate, cheers, Don from South Australia.
