Old Cupboard RESTORATION

#restoration #woodworking #satisfying
This was a big challenge. I found this cupboard on Fb Marketplace. It needed a new foot and some other bits but it was all worth the final results !

I love the way you honour the wood. You don't over stain, you don't over varnish, you enhance the wood and bring it out. Lovely job as ever

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thank you 🎁🙏🎄🎅

[@Mom2Melody]

I’m curious…what is your profession? Merry Christmas!

[@revdupartist9386]

How great is it that it was oak all over, that you were able to get the stains out, and took care of the repairs in short order. 👍🏻 And of course to took care of it too to bottom, the insides, & all around. It’s a sweet little piece now. 😉

[@michellesutton202]

Thank you for all the wonderful projects thru this year. You are a tremendously talented furniture restorer. Hope that you have a very happy holiday. This project turned out stunning

[@erinfitzgerald7789]

On Christmas Eve, we attend Church, we all receivenew matching pajamas, eat a prime rib dinner, read "Twas the Night Before Christmas" aloud, and watch movies together. On Christmas Day, we get up early, open our Christmas stockings, eat a lovely breakfast, and open gifts before getting ready to have our extended family over for a Christmas Buffett. After everyone leaves we turn off all the lights in the house except the Christmas Tree lights and enjoy the beauty of our tree. It is a pretty much perfect day. I am from the United States, Washington State.

Happy new years from the US! Growing up my family had a tradition where my dad would put the first clue of a scavenger hunt in the toe of our stocking to find on Christmas morning. We’d spend the rest of the afternoon following clues and solving puzzles all over the house and yard until we found a gift at the end! I plan to keep the tradition going if I ever have kids.

[@judywilliamson2068]

It turned out really beautiful! Like new. Watching you work, reminds me of my husband, he could fix and repair anything; but where you are meticulously tidy, if I didn’t keep his tools organized, he couldn’t find a thing! Lol. But as long as I organized his tools (so he could find them) he was a real craftsman!

I live in the United States. When I grew up (born 1955) we had one tradition for Christmas that I loved, and I carried it over into my family when I had kids. We got to open ONE present on Christmas eve, saving the rest for Christmas morning. I gave my each of boys an optional choice of 2 presents that I picked out. (I would not offer their "big" present as a choice.) Thank you for this video. It was great and I love the way it turned out. You are an artist.
