Thank you for the education. Your work is very appreciated.

Benvenuto Cellini is still alive ! I am looking from Italy

Inspiring work as always, Tom. As someone who does a lot of refinishing, I am impressed and intrigued by the notion of doing the necessary repairs while leaving the antique patina unfettered and intact.

Fantastic job.

Um, I'm fairly certain there was devine intervention in this project. 😃

Oh, Ella! Such soulful eyes. I'm gathering from your response to another person that she's passed on and I'm so sorry for your loss. We have been through that recently ourselves. Also, lovely work on the furniture.

Beautiful work as always. I enjoy the videos where we can see most of your tools at work. I love watching you use the lathe.

Love for the craft and patience you gotta have to do what you do sir. Bang up job on matching those muted warn colors! Thank you for great craft and content.

Those are so beautiful! Wish my chairs looked like those!

It turned out so very beautifully done!

Looks pretty good tom 👌

what a clever mechanism!

Absolutely Beautiful

It’s like a jigsaw puzzle! So very beautiful! You are an excellent carpenter! Thank you for sharing this! I love the chair!

Beyond comparison as usually, outstanding job by a true craftsman.

I know that this video is from one year ago, but you have made two beds fit for a Queen. Which one would she choose? Martin. (Thailand)

I'm so glad you explained "writing slope" in the beginning of the video. It's lovely and I agree with you about the patina.

I love how these chairs turned out. I was holding my breath while you were applying glue and finish after the new weave was installed. But, I should have had more faith! Lovely work by a master craftsman.

Those people were lucky to have found you to restore those beauty’s 😊

Wow! Your work is amazing. Thanks for sharing this

Beautiful! I admire the care you take with these projects.

what does the embossing say on the seat? All that grime--a century's worth of wood and tobacco smoke, dust, dirt, and human detritus.

The touch of a (your) hand will never be able to be remplaced by a machine....if you appreciate real art

God bless you. Love how you take each furniture and respect it. Your an amazing carpenter

Excellent job once again Tom, I'm glad you chose not to refinish it, it looks perfect with your sympathetic restoration. I've worked on pieces with a warp, and found out that trying to correct it only results in something else being affected down the line. You never know what kind of conditions the box has lived in, most likely a modern, hermetically sealed, air conditioned and heated home, which is hard on antique wooden pieces. Keep the excellent videos coming, I look forward to more like this.

A pleasing piece. Nice work indeed!

Too beautiful to use. 😊

Amazing 🎉❤

You are the "Renoir" among the master restorers...what else could I say...who knows if the artists like you could meet in Paradise continuing to "play their songs" ?

What a fun puzzle!

This litttle glimpse into your everyday life is fun to watch. The animals are a kick. Glad you found a way to fill the void caused by Ella's passing.

Thanks very relaxing.

Looks pretty good 👍

All of those videos are so educative! I'm restoring some old furniture that was laying in the garage, came here looking for one specific process, now i'm glued to YT screen binge-learning :D Amazing channel <3

Another wonderful project! That chair would be great with the desk!

Beautiful work. You are heads above the woodworkers online! A real craftsman. Thank you!

We no ur an accomplished craftsman but this just shows ur skill.

Well thar ya go went to GOODWILL ( WHO PUT THE GOODWILL IN GOODWILL I GUESS WILL DID ).had a bunch of tablet desk for sale. Also tell ur daughter PORTLAND got crazier today..a long story with no shorts on at pioneer square...

Beautiful box. I think your father would be so pleased that you are continuing to use material he collected.

I bet the mystery opening on the side of the desk was for a secret compartment to store important papers etc. It does have what you described as hinge marks. I have a couple pieces with hidden compartments. What a beautiful restoration!

Slow and steady wins the race! 😊 in a video, do you think you could explain why you don't always remove all of the finish and stain? And why keep the molding when it looks like it's on its last leg!? Instead of replacing the moldings with new wood!❤

It’s a treasure!

Would this have been used by military in the field?

"then you're gonna end up with a barn full of furniture like me." Thanks Tom, that comment just made my day. I'm already there.

Beautifully done, you are fsntastic on the lathe. Talk about the turn of the century lol a little joke there. Thank you "turned" out beautiful again sorry couldn't help myself.

Thomas, great great great job. You are a real artist. You reveal your skills which are of help to those who need to understand im order to learn. I hope you will train someone for the future continuation, after you decide to retire. Thanks. Stay well. Loris from Treviso Italy

It was nice to see this case fitted with the clock. I hope it will Tick-Tock for another 300 or more years and you will be remembered as the person that saved it. Martin. (Thailand)

A piece of solid wood furniture with veneer, beautifully restored. Your wealth of knowledge of what to use is amazing. Martin. (Thailand)

Thoroughly enjoyed Watching this Renovatio !! Your knowledge and attention to detail is captivating....... Thank you for sharing....🙏🙂🦚💎

Sir Tom. Your awesome. Love all you do. God bless you and your family
