Zenith 5-S-29: Tip for Repairing Chipped Wood Veneer

[@ianbutler1983]

Dom, when you have to point out the repaired part, you have done the job well. Thanks. you always make it look easy, maybe even easy enough that I could pull it off!

[@RestoreOldRadios]

Ian, if I can do I know you can too. I’m far from a SME. Thanks again. Best, Don

[@THOMMGB]

Don, You are an amazing teacher! I'm somewhat intimidated by cabinet repair, but your veneer repairing videos go a long way for helping me to get over that. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series. Best regards, Tom

+THOMMGB Thank you Tom, I'm always learning and try to share what works for me. I've had so many do overs; I lost count, but wouldn't have it any other way. I appreciate you following along. Best, Don

You drive me crazy cause your so slow and methodical, but your work always shines. Your attitude aids your skill sets immensely

[@RestoreOldRadios]

Stanley, I drive myself crazy at times. LOL Thanks for tolerating my style. All the best. Don

You are creating art from art. That is a beautiful radio. Nice work!

[@RestoreOldRadios]

+John Taylor Thank you John. Zenith radios from that era have amazing design qualities. The dial is very cool as well and one of my favorites. Thanks again. Best, Don

Nice! I really like the zig zag patch. I used one of ur tips from a precious video, on the Howard veneer patch. Cutting at an angle. Turned out great! Thx Larry

[@RestoreOldRadios]

+Larry H. Lyda Glad it helped. Your Howard radio is just amazing. The cabinet is a thing of beauty and you should be real proud of your craftsmanship. Thanks again Larry. Best, Don

[@TheRadioShop]

Don, you are an artist my friend. Brilliant!

[@RestoreOldRadios]

+The Radio Shop LOL, it's an optical illusion. I'm getting there a little at a time, but so far so good. Thank you Buddy. Best, Don

Very good video. I'm trying to restore a Bush radio cabinet and it was extremely helpful to see how you replace the veneer and match colors. One question though: The fill sticks are made of wax, right? Was there any issue with putting toner lacquer on it?

[@RestoreOldRadios]

I’ve haven’t had an issue applying toner or clear lacquers over the touched up areas. I used www.mohawk-finishing.com/products/wood-touch-up-repair/fillers/fil-stik-putty-sticks/ and Mohawk has many other solutions that may provide equal or better results. I hope things progress as planned on your Bush radio cabinet. All the best. Don
