You are welcome. Thank you for the very kind words and for visiting my channel. I am very happy you enjoyed this project. 🌻

Kind of funny to work on the croquet set. My family used to have one and it seemed to be a simple game for kids. Kudos for taking this on!

[@Restorology]

Thanks!! I hope you enjoyed it. 🌻

[@sandraleenerts6805]

The time, effort and energy you put into making your videos is as much appreciated as the final always are. Your work always fascinates me. I am awed time and time again to watch as you take a forsaken item and turn it into something of beauty and value.

[@Restorology]

That is very kind of you to write. Thank you for the gracious feedback!!

[@Restomaniac]

How much work have you done my friend! You are really patient. Of course, the result of all this hard work was also excellent. Wow!!!

[@Restorology]

Thank you!! This was my first time trying detailed lathe turning. It was so much work but also fun. Thank you for the wonderful feedback. I am happy you like it. Cheers!

[@jannamarie3990]

Absolutely amazing job 🎉 I don't understand why this hasn't more views!?! It's definitely not because you didn't do a good job, I think it's great and I haven't seen another one like it. Thanks for sharing your talent with us. ❤😊

[@Restorology]

Thank you so much!! I feel the same way! This was one of my favorites and I was very excited to post it but the impressions were less than impressive so not many people have had a chance to see it. Happens sometimes.

[@g.l.swartz3157]

Your attention to detail is THE standard others should follow. Great work as always. I commend you on the wood turning as well. I would have NO patience for that. I would end up just grabbing a hatchet out of frustration and making firewood. Take care.

[@Restorology]

Thank you! Due to time constraints, I am not able to show all of the mistakes that tested my patience. Overall it was an incredibly fun project and I got to practice some new skills. See you in the next one! 🍻

Good bit of recycling there! The tearing off the tape after painting was so satisfying to watch 🤓

[@Restorology]

Removing the tape was super satisfying! It came off really clean this time. Thanks!

@@Restorology … this is the kind of project I would take on! You did a great job on it!

[@wxgrl23]

Question for you: I'm doing this almost exact same thing. Question on the polyurethane over the testors paint - was that oil based? I see you did paint, then minwax then you mentioned polyurethane. I don't want my paint to bubble up or apply items in the wrong order. Thank you!

[@Restorology]

Yes I used all oil based finishes on this project. The testors paints are enamel and I finished with a std urethane finish. Once cured, it is fairly strong.

[@abbyhudspeth8511]

What did you use for wood filler for the cracks? And what type of paint did you use for the stripes on balls/mallets? I’m restoring a croquet set too and I want to make sure it lasts

[@Restorology]

I used a rubber based glue mixed with sawdust to fill cracks on the balls. I felt it needed to be flexible to take on the stress of being hit but also strong enough to keep the cracks from expanding. It's been a year and so far so good! The paint was Testors brand enamel hobby paint. It's all I had and it's held up fine, especially with the poly coating protecting it. Thanks for asking and good luck with your project!

Teşekkürler!

[@j.k.rector9818]

Where do you find the drills to put the hole in mallet and what are the diameters?

[@Restorology]

The tap and die is sold as a kit and can be found on Amazon, eBay, or probably any local wood working shop. I don't remember the size I used for this one, maybe 3/4 inch? Several sizes can be found and it will depend on the diameter of the shaft to be inserted. Thanks for asking!
