After rescuing a wicker chest from the dumpster last year, chests hold a special place in my heart. You did an amazing job! I just say how much I appreciate you. I've seen several other people here on KZbin who think it's okay to put wood filler on gaps in veneer over half an inch long! So I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your attention to detail and the respect you give these pieces. Rather than just saying "wood filler is good enough"!

[@kikihammond5326]

BTW, Angie, I never told you, you helped me repair the mirror glass sliding closet doors in our kid's condo. When she moved in, the mirror was nearly completely separated from the metal door framing. She liked the doors (we discussed just removing it altogether and putting up a curtain), so to try to save them, I got some clear liquid nails that said it could be used on mirror. Problem was how to hold it in place to make sure it would stay in place and cure. I knew clamps were likely to break the mirror and after puzzling on it a bit, I flashed back on what you do to make sure veneer adhere. I used a ton of painters tape, and kept it in place for 48 hours. It was perfect, and 2 years later it is still working well. So, thank you!

Especially since I'm only 5,2" and would love to not be on my toes to put away clothes or towels all the time. I live in Austria, though. I haven't started looking for someone who does the same as you do here, yet. I hope I find someone. It makes me insanely happy to see these pieces come to life again through your skilled hands.
