(S-5 Ep-29) Reclaiming Wood from Old Furniture

[@2clappedout477]

I have a lot of respect for you, most people would just throw it out, or put it in a scrap pile. But this gives that wood a 2nd life. Thanks for the tips and tricks!

[@DowneastThunderCreations]

Thanks. I appreciate your kind words.

You are not very far from me! Nova Scotia, Canada! I'm thinking about making a channel about reclaimed material projects and it makes me quite happy that I am not the only one who does this. I do Junk Removal and it is not a very good job. But the materials i reclaim from items are insane. I hope I can make a few videos showcasing my skills and if they come out half as good as yours i will be beyond happy! Good Job brother, keep on buildin'!

[@DowneastThunderCreations]

Sounds great! 👍👍👍

Would you have an example of what you would make out of reclaimed wood like this? (I'm taking apart on an old oak dresser, have some ideas, but can always use more ideas!

[@DowneastThunderCreations]

Quite a few. Almost all of my projects are created with reclaimed materials. Check out my channel and click on the "videos" button and then you can scroll through around 300 videos or so and find several examples. The new 18' pocket cruising sailboat I designed and have presently under construction is mostly reclaimed wood. You can see several videos of that on my Shoestring Shipyard Sailing channel as well. 👍👍👍

@@DowneastThunderCreations I LOVE the idea of building a sailboat out of bits of old dressers! Definitely will want to check that one out. :D

[@melchezi8818]

Not enough people doing this.

[@DowneastThunderCreations]

I agree. A lot of good, usable material goes to waste as a result.

[@RatBasterd]

Nicely done! I have a few old-but-not-antique pieces of furniture that will be getting this treatment soon. Thanks for the pointers.
