Bob Timberlake is still living and His gallery is still open. The Timberlake line of furniture was made here in Lexington NC by Lexington Furniture Industries. Bob is a native of Lexington and still resides here. His line of clothing is also nice and well made. The amount of fine furniture that was produced here in Davidson county NC is mind blowing. Unfortunately, there is very little production from this region anymore. Thanks Tom. I enjoy all of your content 👍🇺🇲👊

I always call you my teacher. I have watch so many of your videos gluing veneers. You’d be proud of the crazy mess I’ve cleaned up on a desk I found on the side of the road. This antique desk had water damage and was neglected. I saw a gem, that could make my own. Thank you for the confidence you have given me in making it beautiful again, repurposed and no longer heading to a landfill. Thank you Sir for all your wisdom! 🐝🐝

Hi Tom, I have enjoyed your answers to the emails that you recieved. I am sorry that you are no longer taking in repairs, I am not close to your shop but you are enjoyable to watch. I want you to know that I have watched other who say that they repair and refinish furniture. They are not anywhere as thourough or as skilled as you are. I still watch you older furniture restoration videos and have learned how to repair a few small water stains..... Thanks for all your info and stay safe. Carol Usay

[@judebrown4103]

As ever, Tom, I thoroughly enjoyed this helpful video its amazing how you can solve people's problems without even seeing them or their furniture in person. For some reason....doziness, probably.... I hadnt twigged that you had retired. I wondered why you were working on all those pieces you'd found by the roadside. I heard you say how much you were enjoying finally getting around to them all but somehow i just didnt put two and two together.....yes, definitely doziness! I'm glad to know that you have a barn full of stuff to keep us entertained with for as many years to come as you can manage. I reach retirement age myself this year but I've learnt so much from you over the years I've been watching. Thank you and God bless Tom. 👍

[@acedrumminman]

Tom, love these video's...my question might be out of your wheel house but after seeing the way you approach re-gluing veneer, have you ever had the job of re-activating glue on formica that's lifted in the middle of a counter top? Would you use a heat gun? An iron? How long would you warm it up? What temp? I really not getting a good answer from the Home Depot people...these materials kinda behave the same don't they? Any help would be most appreciated.

[@johnsonrestoration]

Thanks! I have done that before. Heat it up as much as you can. Use a hairdryer not a heat gun. Clamp it down, maybe it will stick. If it doesn't just get flue in there and clamp it down. Any type of water soluble glue. Hide glue would work great because its thin enough to get into tight spaces

[@andrewclarkehomeimprovement]

Hi Tom. Many thanks. Next time I'm on site, AND my workbench is free, I'll be working on that chair and let's see how it turns out. I'll post a vid and let you know. Many thanks and all the best. Andrew

No new work??! You're not retiring or anything are you? My wife and I were up in Madrid visiting friends for the eclipse. On our way up from and back to NJ I really, REALLY wanted to stop and visit but I was afraid it would have been weird. We both adore your channel. Your restoration of the federal card table is one of my favorite things to watch on the internet. My father is a wood carver and furniture maker and is a big fan too. They're flying up for lobster fest in Camden soon. I imagine he would be as star struck as I would be!

I built a bookcase based on a magazine article I found in Woodworking magazine. A Charles Limbert bookcase. I built it out of pine first to figure out things then I made a red oak version that I took the two doors to our local glass place. The guy there had old windows that he was sure would be great for my doors. I think he 'sold' me on them to move the stock now.

Hello Tomas. Thanks for this verry educative tutorial, we learned a lot again. Please allow me to comment on one of the first issues: " the removal of old - self adhesive - stickers. I have good experience with a technic that my wife Anne showed me some 30 year ago. We give some drips of vegetable oil ( rapeseed or sunfrower oil) on the sticker and let it work in for some 10 minutes. If necessary one can add a little heat with the heat-gun. After that you can peel the sticker of without the underlaying surface being damaged. Hope this helps other vieuwers too. Have a nice weekend from Germany

[@johnsonrestoration]

Thanks Robert! That's a very good technique. I should make a video of all the tips on this people have sent!

[@rjjeffreys]

An absolutely wonderful restoration, Tom!

[@johnsonrestoration]

Thank you!

[@mayorofthenonsense]

Great video Tom. Just an additional word of warning to the person at the end with the damaged Teak Credenza: when using Oxylic Acid, be careful that there is no excessive build up of water on the surface of the veneer. If there are any holes in the veneer, or if the veneer is separating slightly at the seams, excess water can soak through into the pressed wood below and cause sudden and rapid swelling, which will leave you with a much bigger problem than the one you started with! This is not such a problem if the piece is constructed from solid wood, but I specialise in these pieces and most of them from the early 60's onwards utilise pressed wood in the main body panels. Once pressed wood starts expanding due to water-logging, it can form large and pronounced boils, which are extremely difficult to flatten out again, and it can happen before you realise what's going on. I recommend thoroughly checking the freshly sanded surface for any visible holes or breaks in the veneer, and then sealing any exposed edges not covered by veneer, with PVA glue, before you add water or any water based solution. Good luck!

[@johnsonrestoration]

Thank you! Yes, I should have mentioned that. I gave up working on any particle board core furniture a long time ago partly for reasons such as that, so I don't think of it

[@eledatowle8767]

Hi Tom, thank you for all your wonderful videos! I often watch them just to bliss out. My questions are: when you clean the syringes you use for epoxy adhesive, do you use isopropyl alcohol or denatured alcohol? And whe you clean the syringes you use for hide glue, do you use water only or do you put in some detergent?

[@johnsonrestoration]

Thanks! I use denatured alcohol, that's what I use in the shop for a lot of things. I leave hide glue in the syringe, in the crock pot.(in a small jar so it's not taking on water) When I heat it up, the syringe is ready to use. I end up using the syringe a lot! Not just for small cracks etc.

Tom, Once again a great video to answer viewer questions. I always learn a thing or two. I also noticed something for the first time and hope you can share more info on this topic. Over your left shoulder there is a Delta Milwaukee 24" scroll saw. What can you tell me about the history of that saw and in particular the color of the saw? In my experience most of the tools from the Delta Milwaukee factory were gray in color. However, I recently acquired a Delta Milwaukee 24" scroll saw that was also green with a yellow belt guard. I assumed this was a random after market paint job by one of several likely owners of the saw but I notice that yours is painted in the very same colors and wondered if you might know more about this paint scheme. I also own another of these saws that is the typical gray from this factory so to see two green and yellow ones in one week was quite a surprise. Thanks for your time to respond. Brent

[@johnsonrestoration]

Thanks Brent! Interesting! My saw was built in 1963. I bought it in 1980 and had it overhauled at the Rockwell Service Center when they actually had service! I was able to date it from this website vintagemachinery.org/registry/default.aspx, they might have info on the paint. Let me know what you find out! email :[e-mail]

[@brentrichardson3839]

@@johnsonrestoration Tom, I checked with the folks at Vintage Machinery and based on the two replies, it appears that the saws we have were once owned by school systems. Both responders mentioned that the yellow and green paint scheme is consistent with use by schools. It is not clear whether the schools painted them or if Delta played any role in this. Thinking back to my own experience, I can remember that same paint scheme being used on shop tools in the high school I attended. I was never fortunate enough to be allowed to take shop, as I was on the college prep track, but I addressed that after finishing college at the local community college. Thanks again for your videos as I very much appreciate them and always learn something that I can use in my shop.

Tom, there's no need to limit the size of dowel to less than half the diameter of the leg. If the dowel is as strong or stronger than the original leg (per unit of cross section) then a dowel of greater than half of the leg adds to the strength of the repair; the greater the cross section of the dowel the greater the strengthen of the repair. Or have I got his all wrong? Anyway, most sincere regards once again from New Zealand.

[@johnsonrestoration]

Thanks Evan! What I have seen is the wood around the dowel breaking. So my thought is to not drill too large, leaving that wood as "thick" as possible

[@jodirauth8847]

I have question. How to are you able to apply oil based wood finishes during very high humidity hot summer days and get a good nice finish.

[@johnsonrestoration]

Thanks! Often I will use a dehumidifier - which makes the shop very warm! An air conditioner would do the trick but I like the heat from the dehumidifier - it really does the job! You could also just turn on a heater

Hi Tom, I consider you to be the gold standard of veneer repairs, and I just saw a repair by Bob Andersen (bandersentv) that I’d love to get your take on: kzbin.info/www/bejne/apbaqGqDbK2sZ5Isi=xAWXwaIqR8nP6nUE Start at about 25:00 to see the repair. I’ve never seen one disappear so well before finishing! While I’m at it, I keep seeing that old radio on the cabinet behind you, and have been curious about it. (Wood repair and old electronics. Nope, no pattern there!) It’s a nice looking unit, and I’m wondering what it is, does it work, etc. Anyway, even though you’re not taking on any new work, I look forward to seeing your videos for a long time to come!

My older son is disabled and fed through a g-tube, and we use syringes to give him his meds. Every single one of those syringes is marked "single use only" -- and for what? We wash them and reuse them. They're only used for getting meds into his stomach, not injections, so they don't need to be sterile, just as clean as anything else in the kitchen. Even when the numbers wear off and we can no longer use them to measure liquid meds, we can still use them for giving him dissolved pills. Unfortunately, his feeding sets have to be single-use. It's essentially impossible to clean all that tubing, and since its molded to the bag we have to throw the bag away too. I hate tossing it, but we really have no alternative.

[@johnsonrestoration]

Thanks! You are so good to be such a dedicated caregiver! Yes, it's easy to understand why in a hospital setting the syringes would be single use, and I am so glad that for your needs its not necessary. We try to use everything as much as possible.
