Would love to see a video showing how your craftsmen take apart this room without destroying the parts and pieces, how the assemblies are labeled for future reassembly and how everything is eventually reassembled so it looks like the original.
Point noted. Real quick, we made an architectural drawing of the room and numbered and labeled all parts and pieces. Then carefully took apart. I'll get a video together for the re-install.
My dad was involved with the construction of some of the newer elements in this office. He knows a lot of the history of this office as he assisted in moving it multiple times to different locations. He would probably enjoy sharing some of the background he has if you’re interested.
Plywood was invented in 1865, and came into common use in the late 1920's in home building, mostly in household cabinetry, but was also used in furniture. The late half of the 19th century saw a big surge in plywood use, and multi layer veneers in cabinetry and furniture, especially on complicated builds with multiple curves and larger panels. Phillips head screws were invented in 1932 (John Thompson) who sold the design to Henry Phillips and began selling a refined design to auto manufacturers in 1934. Things are sometimes older than we think, or not as old as we think they should be. Great video, Brent! Informative and entertaining!
Will you preserve the newer additions? Do you just do this sort of investigation for general knowledge for the client?. The plaster is still quite impressive in itself. Great vid
It's up to the client. I wouldn't recommend it but it's their call. I love doing it. This job involved us packing it up. I agree the plaster molds are pretty cool! Thanks for watching.
100 years from now... ah see this 3D printed plastic bracket right here. Yep, that is 2000's historic era repair work. Probably means this place was owned by someone at the time who couldn't afford a house. We should save this as part of the historic restoration work. To be real though, the screw types are such a giveaway, I don't care about historical accuracy, I love my starbits. I hate flathead screws.
Wow. That's got to be an expensive job. So much detail and so slow off a process. Carefully removing all of that, storing it, and then reinstalling it. Yikes. Beautiful room though!!!
You got to appreciate just the high quality of that craftsmanship. I absolutely love the high quality of work in that room. Thank you for sharing with us that beautiful work of real craftsmanship.
I suspect you are leaving out a lot of nose-to-the-work investigation. Your comment about consistent volume is a very useful tip. It must be a bit frustrating to just move problematic (lots of other adjectives) modifications when you could do a much better job. (Perhaps the homeowner will commission you to make corrections.). Thanks for the video.

Thanks!!
I second this request!
This might be my new favorite youtube channel! As an amateur woodworker, I'm soaking this stuff up - very educational
Awesome!! Thanks for love!

I would love that! Thanks.
Any history on the historic room? Where is this one located?

Beautiful room… Would love to see the rest of the house or at least the exterior…
You definitely have to make a video on the demo and reinstall
Great idea! Thanks.

Ok, fair enough.
I enjoy leaving messages inside framed walls for future renovators ((:::
Haha, fun to think about. Thanks.

Beautiful room though!!!

Time detectives:) I love tearing a place apart and seeing how people built things
Me Too!!
