Amazing repair and restoration of these old plan/map drawers

Рет қаралды 33,472

These old incomplete architects plan drawers were purchased for $50. The seller believed they had originally been used in city council offices or a library. They are made from Rimu, a New Zealand native timber. As they were originally made in a rudimentary way I have tried to keep this in mind with the restoration process. With 2 drawers completely missing I used the remaining drawer bases to construct new parts. Although I was unable to accurately date this piece I was able to confirm the original handles were at least 70 years old.

I like how you sacrificed the drawer bottoms to make new drawers. Better to have the part you see be original wood than to make the drawer itself out of new wood. But it did confuse me for a bit until i saw the before and after at the end and realized what you did.

I took apart the existing drawer bases and this gave me enough timber to make the sides and backs of the new drawers however the new drawer fronts were made from some other reclaimed stock. All the timber is Rimu, A New Zealand native species.

So, wait. Maybe I missed something. Did you actually cut off a split board end and scarf on a new piece of wood instead of just gluing the split?

You do things in a slightly odd, almost insouciant way. I keep finding myself going, "What the fuck ... Why is he doing it like that??

I am suffering from equipment envy here. Do you find the Ryobi planer to be a sound piece of equipment. I have the scroll saw and am disappointed with a few of the features especially the u shaped piece used to hold down the wood. It appears twisted and does not hold thin pieces of soft wood at all. Just wondering if the brand has problems with other tools. 😮

@truetinyresto 11 күн бұрын

The Ryobi planer is about 16 years old, it’s only really been used for hobby stuff. Most of my tools are used for my day job so that’s why they are higher end brands like Milwaukee, Festool etc but I did have many Ryobi hand power tools for more than 10 years and they all performed well.
