2 SECRETS found in 1842 dresser

[@deeelle6744]

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.

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!

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

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.

Ich habe als Schreiner ähnliche Kommoden restauriert und dabei auch die alten Techniken soweit möglich angewendet. Bei den Schubführungen verwendete ich Ahorn. Das flutscht und sieht gut aus. Evtl. Wachsen. Aber die Schlossblenden in Messing finde ich unpassend. Die Ebenholz Schilder sehen besser aus. Blöd ist halt daß man die Schübe vorsichtig am Schlüssel rausziehen muß.

Damn! You took something that wasn't worth more than $50 and turned it into something worth more than $1000. We're all familiar with dovetail construction in drawers but I've never seen it in the main construction of piece of furniture-it's a testament to the talent of the original artist. The grain of the veneer is phenomenal. After you did the final polish, the wood, it was so fine, it looked like polished leather.
