You put forth the difference between restore and refinish. As an old school UK restorer of porcelain and fine china I applaud your eye and skill for detail and appreciation of the old methods. It is refreshing to see someone who really takes the time to restore rather than slap in a few repairs and paint it all. Bless.

Thanks to the insight of Julius Lefruner back on 1922 and you in 2022. this piece survived over 181 years and will continue its life for hopefully another 100 years if the next craftsman who's ability matches yours. Excellant work and craftsmanship thank you for doing it and for sharing. Love seeing the respect people like yourself have towards the craftsman of the past. .ECF

Absolutely amazing! Had you used this for the competition with AT, you'd have won! I love how you showed and preserved the info on the 1922 restoration and hope that the next restorer will be as respectful of both the earlier notes. Thanks for being such a meticulous craftsman - yours is one of the few occupations where being overly obsessed with detail is a definite plus. Will definitely continue watching your channel!

How lovely to watch this restoration and hear the sound of tools, sandpaper, scraping etc. Relaxing and informative as well. I really enjoyed it. Thank you.

Best part for me was when you found the old restoration notes, rather than sand it all clean or paint it or something, which I have sadly seen more than once, you added your name to it. That little note will add to the value down the road, as it's further proof of the age and authenticity of it.

There are a number of videos of furniture "flippers", and their results usually look quite nice. But you are the first full-fledged furniture restorer that I've ever come across. The patience that it would take to give that thorough of attention to all those details is probably beyond most of us! It's very likely because you have the mentality of a craftsman.
