Restoring a Regency Card Table - Thomas Johnson Antique Furniture Restoration

[@sooth15]

That is a gorgeous table! Rosewood is just fantastic despite it's tendency to delaminate if it isn't stored properly. The restoration turned out beautifully, and I like that the repairs were done without needing to refinish it.

[@johnsonrestoration]

sooth15 Thanks so much for your comments. And yes, I really like rosewood too. Tom

[@claiborneschmidt7859]

How do you replace the felt on one of these?

[@johnsonrestoration]

Hi, thanks for watching! It's not difficult, I have a video showing a different material but the method's the same kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6XQoqV7fJeChJY

Hey Tom, what an awesome piece. That rose wood is stunning. It deos look pretty , great video. I agree with the earlier post. Love to see longer more indepth stuff.

[@johnsonrestoration]

billfromelma Thanks, I'm not sure about making them longer. I really don't want to get boring. We'll discuss it!

Tom: What scraper are you using there. I have one, but its old, and I cant read the name. Been wanting to find another one for years. Got this one in cabinet making school 15n years ago. Thanks......

[@johnsonrestoration]

Thanks Richard! That's a great scraper - and they don't make them anymore - I don't know why! You sharpen like a chisel and wow. I think it says "Pro-Paint" on the handle but it's very difficult to read. Here's a fascinating page: www.google.com/search?source=univ&tbm=isch&q=pro+paint+scrapers&client=firefox-b-1-d&fir=7CGINHj0_pPjcM%252Ctq6NNTsdWoNbBM%252C_%253Bko7eeDOiiXn3LM%252CGRxXLddnp3U_IM%252C_%253BmnEXm0AgTjiC8M%252C_KLeAY5SKQKE8M%252C_%253B3IAHyN7CXexZZM%252CSNwnT3ZWAlcakM%252C_%253BeXK_tZzBOUtiTM%252CS7glhpMBiFp0ZM%252C_%253BtZ_ftc3jabrPcM%252CIs719d544CboZM%252C_%253BZfDH3rYLrk-7aM%252CfaCaBRBw71IZhM%252C_%253BMmLpkLCfd0UdKM%252CXkpeOvbdZ-aQSM%252C_%253B2fVBuXOR3fI3LM%252C_KLeAY5SKQKE8M%252C_%253BRu_Nd6UfLsABRM%252CpNbefi1oInp0uM%252C_&usg=AI4_-kSbgumhcvdyAEN7kyO6ylaIKkxFxA&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjt4M64y4_7AhWhkokEHQWdAEMQ420oAHoECCEQCA&biw=1647&bih=863&dpr=1

[@richardh568]

Tom: Thanks for the info. Much appreciated. Would you believe, nearly every scraper in the universe is in that list....except the one I want. Wow! Anyway, I thank you for the effort. The one i'm looking for is at 2:43 in the video. Just can't quite read the name. Mine is totally worn off. I'll just have to keep looking. Thanks

[@JanineCooperMoren]

Always learn so much from your videos :)

[@johnsonrestoration]

Janine Cooper-Moren well, thanks for watching. I really appreciate it

[@Craichel04]

Fine, fine job Tom. I must agree with longer vids...they are too awesome to be this short. What polish did you use and why did you use it instead of the Feed N Wax? I love F-N-W and would think it would have worked well in this application, but you're the expert :-)

[@johnsonrestoration]

Craig in PA Thanks! This table had a lot of water spots, etc. that I'm not sure would have come out with the FNW. Especially the base, so it was easier just to use french polish. Tom

[@Craichel04]

Thanks for the insight!

[@mattiapascal9151]

HI Thomas, hai tanti animali, anche le galline 🐓 che bello vivere dove abiti tu ! Un abbraccio strong 👍 Ciaoooooo 👋

[@johnsonrestoration]

Grazie! Sì, lo facciamo, gli animali ti tengono al suolo!

[@EarlKrause]

Great work, always love to watch your videos.

[@johnsonrestoration]

Earl Krause Thanks!

[@janiceperla5506]

I hate when you don't show the whole repaire

[@johnsonrestoration]

I know! Now we go into detail, the viewers, like you, demanded it!

[@GrahamOrm]

Another triumph Tom. I'll have to slow down on your videos. I've started saying 'I think it looks pretty good.' All the time. 😉

[@johnsonrestoration]

Yes, might be time to go for a long walk

[@GrahamOrm]

@@johnsonrestoration I wish I could Tom. Been household for 2 years. You guys keep me going.

[@judithgreenwood6247]

What an exquisite piece.

[@johnsonrestoration]

Thank you!

[@Thevingert]

Dear Thomas. thanks for video, very interesting. Can you make a video more longer and ... detailed maybe?? so much information... and just 7 min.. every day i check youtube, hoping that you came out a new video..thanks again .

[@johnsonrestoration]

Александр Вингерт Hi, thanks so much for watching. OK, I'll try to add more detail, but I hesitate to make them longer. Tom

[@LostMountainRestoration]

Thanks!

[@johnsonrestoration]

Lawrence Jackmin You're welcome!

[@rparker2824]

Beautiful table. I have a table like this, and thanks to you I now know it was designed to be a card table.

[@johnsonrestoration]

Thanks! And you're welcome!

[@gianluigimarino8264]

Wowww, beautiful table!!!! Great job

[@johnsonrestoration]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@marionky3249]

Thanks for sharing. Come and visit Barbara Wheeler at her location in the heart of Amish Country, Hwy 91 N. in Marion, KY. Built in 1835, this two-story log cabin is one of Crittenden County's oldest homes. Primitive antiques, herb gardens, fruit trees and a glimpse into days gone by all await you six miles out Hwy 91 N. Wednesdays 10-4 , Mid April through Late October.

[@kathyk479]

How does the wax work over time? Does it really do the job of filling in and staying there?

[@johnsonrestoration]

Thanks! Good question! I think it does, although if the joint or crack keeps expanding and contracting it could come out. I figure it has a much better chance than a hard putty

[@kathyk479]

That makes a lot of sense! Thanks!

[@ThePanelman]
