I’ve seen these tables with one drawer. Yours with 2drawer would be nice.

Thanks. I have redone other enamel top furniture in the past it is unbelievable how clean they polish. Im eager to work on an enamel top Hoosier cabinet that is in line for refinishing. When it is completed I will share the video with you.

@@LarryRohr-he7lj Looking forward to that!

That is an area I have no expertise in. thank you for the help making those, it made the chairs turn out very nice.

Your girlfriend’s dad was being generous. This was purchased at a garage sale the seller was going to try to redo it, but it he never got around to it so I picked this up for little of nothing. Those tables were designed surprisingly well and the skirt is made of solid oak.

I grew up with a table just like that except ours was green and beige. Our chairs were very different. Thanks for the memories! ❤ Well done and very special.

As I am able to get the different work completed in the office the slate will really tie in with the over all look I am going for. And there is a purpose for the hole in the wall. I can’t wait until I get to reveal what and why. Thanks for watching and leaving me a comment. Comments are very encouraging to me. Thanks again.

It is very functional now. I really enjoy this type of work.

We found this at a yard sale. Very interesting story behind this table. I wanted to leave it as it was, but the legs were, as you saw, crumbling apart and had to be replaced. Would like to see the one you recently redid too.

At the end of the latest video there is an enamel top table shown that I am close to finishing. And that table should be the next video coming soon.

Sometimes you just have to catch up on all the small stuff first. Working diligently on the next project and can’t wait to share it with you.

That porcelain top table and chair set is in the works as we speak. I hope to complete it soon, as well as the video about it.

Thank you. Whenever I redo a piece of furniture I aim to replace the particle board material. Drawer bottoms often get stained, swell etc. and generally look awful and more often than not end up getting replaced and sealed.

Hilarious, thanks for the lite hearted feedback. I don’t know if anyone else gets your comment but I do.😅

The original doors were reproduced and though the video does not show on the back side of each door there is basically another frame added for structural integrity. And though I have not done so yet I do need to put door sweeps on the inside of each as well.

Good question. True the doors could be removed by a determined burglar. They would only access hvac duct work and a few stored tools along with ladders. The main reason for the lock is on at all is to keep curious little ones from going into the crawl space, removing the possibility of some kind of tragedy from happening.

Thank you. There are quite a few videos almost finished and coming out soon.

Good point. I glued each board, ( the original doors did not glue) then nailed from the front side. After nailing I added screws every 5mm on the back of the doors. the build did not show that I added reinforced frame to the back of each door for additional strength as well. I need to add door sweeps to the bottom of each door soon too.

My dad began teaching me at an early age. My grandfather built his home and most of the furniture in it. Many of the tools he used I have and use to this day.

Thanks. Great safety tip on the lock. The crawl space doesn’t access the living area in this house. It is tall enough to afford lots of storage space. When we first moved here 4years ago we took out the barn oak flooring that you see in the workshop. Before we built the shop all the flooring was stored in the crawl space.

Thank you so much. The corner pie safe now goes with most decor styles without seeming outdated. I have a Hoosier cabinet which needs to be completely redone, it will be a little while before I can get to it but, I can’t wait to dive into that one.

I duplicated the style of the old doors which were built with 45 degree cuts ( the diagonal cut was 55 degree angles but that was not shown in the video. Also not shown was reinforcement to the back of the new doors.) the original doors were built when the house was and lasted 17 years. Am planning to reuse some material from the old doors in a future project. You know woodworkers don’t let go of wood unless it’s absolutely necessary. Have a great day.

correct, and they are incorrectly placed. both old and new are wrong. in this case, since they're made of sheet material, the frame is mostly decorative but details matter. to those that know these doors are like being poked in the eye with a sharp stick.

Thanks for the comments. Thru out the videos look at the tools used. Not all, but a lot of them are old coming from my dad and his dad. They are very durable and I prefer them plus it is a connection to family.

Thanks. I’m planning to repurpose the wood from those old doors as well.

In the end my wife was well pleased with this corner pie safe.

The legs were literally falling apart. There really wasn’t any way to save them.

@@LarryRohr-he7lj They were like Shredded Wheat cereal.

I enjoyed doing this. As I open the bottom cabinet door the tin panel fell out, if you go back and listen you can hear the panel as it hits the floor and you can tell it was made from thick metal. I made sure to leave the dedication to Janice inside and intact. Leaving that history felt right.

@@LarryRohr-he7lj Looks great! Nice work.

The goal was to redo this piece of furniture so it would fit in a modern farmhouse. though it is hard to tell in the video this paint always needs a second coat it is durable and scratch resistant. Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed the video.

@@adventurebabyboomer7318thanks for the kind words.

Forty plus years old, hand made, with those personal touches. Hand stencils, hand punched tin, I did remove the heart from the top of the cabinet. I didn’t show but inside there was a dedication to Janice dated 1982 with an inscription from Ephesians. I left that on the inside of the cabinet. It is a part of the cabinets history.

It turned out really nice, Larry. We like the black finish. We also liked discovering that you are a Believer! We wondered if you are going to refinish that rocking chair sometime. We hope so; that would be fun to watch.

I wanted to keep the character of the table as original as possible. Back when this was built often they would use what ever was on hand. If you watch as nails were removed some of them were 5” long. Thanks for watching

Thanks for the safety concerns. I have a sign in my shop as a safety reminder with a picture after a man holding his hands up with fingers extended and it says “best tools take care of they no extras in stock”.

Thank you so much. Very encouraging to me.

Sincerely, I thank you. Quite the compliment.

Thank you. In a future video I will make an office door repurposing old doors.

Thanks for the compliment

Thank you, this was a fun challenge.

This was easy to make using every day tools and a few items from the big box hardware store.

They do sell well. I enjoy the challenge of updating these as well as doing the necessary repairs. I also like to see the drawer insides in a new like condition, which most of the time involves replacing the bottoms.
