Amazing repair and restoration of these old plan/map drawers

These old incomplete architects plan drawers were purchased for $50. The seller believed they had originally been used in city council offices or a library. They are made from Rimu, a New Zealand native timber. As they were originally made in a rudimentary way I have tried to keep this in mind with the restoration process. With 2 drawers completely missing I used the remaining drawer bases to construct new parts. Although I was unable to accurately date this piece I was able to confirm the original handles were at least 70 years old.
Simply by watching this channel you are supporting my work so thank you so much! A thumbs up helps even more. If you would like to make a small contribution to my work please consider visiting my Buy me a coffee page: www.buymeacoff...

I like how you sacrificed the drawer bottoms to make new drawers. Better to have the part you see be original wood than to make the drawer itself out of new wood. But it did confuse me for a bit until i saw the before and after at the end and realized what you did.

I am suffering from equipment envy here. Do you find the Ryobi planer to be a sound piece of equipment. I have the scroll saw and am disappointed with a few of the features especially the u shaped piece used to hold down the wood. It appears twisted and does not hold thin pieces of soft wood at all. Just wondering if the brand has problems with other tools. 😮
@truetinyresto
@truetinyresto Ай бұрын
The Ryobi planer is about 16 years old, it’s only really been used for hobby stuff. Most of my tools are used for my day job so that’s why they are higher end brands like Milwaukee, Festool etc but I did have many Ryobi hand power tools for more than 10 years and they all performed well.
