    If something isn't being used and nobody is willing to buy it, it deserves a new life. You did that table justice. Absolutely remarkable re-use of that gorgeous wood.

      Thank you. I did feel guilty breaking it up but I hope the new cabinet will have a long life and you're right about about it deserving that new existence.

    Great job. It's always good to see real wood from old, unloved or damaged furniture being used and given a new life for many years to come. I'll look forward to your next project.

      Thank you, I couldn't agree more. I got lucky with this quarter sawn oak but I try to use old wood whenever I can. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

    Beautiful job. I'm sure the original maker of the table would approve.
    Always worth rescuing solid period furniture that is beyond its original purpose.

      Absolutely, the quality of the quarter-sawn oak was exceptional and the previous owners had taken really good care of it. I prefer to make good use of every scrap if can and make small objects with the 'leftovers'. Thank you for letting me know your thoughts about it.

    Great looking chest. Nothing like saving some nice Timbers.

    Amazing build Ben. The finished article looks such a high quality piece. That book of notes was something too, an amazing amount of planning has gone into that and clearly it’s paired off.

      Thanks. I have to admit I was pleased with it but it did take a lot of planning to make sure I had enough wood from the donor tables. Thank you for letting me know.

      I agree beautiful job. I never liked cutting up good furniture just for the timber but I have. If you’re going to reach over a running table saw to put drawer fronts in the case please turn off the camera.

      Hi Doug. I'm so glad you did as it meant I got to see your absolutely amazing workshop. It's great that you liked what I did with the table though it was sad to break up a beautifully made piece. That quarter sawn oak was just fantastic and the finish turned out incredibly smooth and clearly figured. All the best. Ben.

    Mate such a great build. Definitely on my bucket list as well. Did the wood justice with that one! Well done.

      @benjaqsonworkshop9974  Рік тому +1

      Thank you, I would recommend making one but it took a lot of time and effort. I got the donor wood before it rocketed in price so I don't think I'll be making another one for a while. Cheers.

      Thank you. I really enjoyed building it but the pressure of doing the original timber justice made me do a lot of planning first. I also made a TV cabinet with it but that's a future video.
