We kept finding we needed a folding table. This is so easy to store. kzfaq.infoUgkxStL0QRChBju4aQlnTrRgBZvafFog0KU3 Opening and closing is easy as well. It has a great handle for carrying around the house. Its pretty lightweight and slides around easy. We bought it for our daughter’s first sleepover. Breakfast was a blur - but 12 7-8 year olds fit at the table with room to spare. We used it at thanksgiving and 6 adults fit comfortably on each side plus 2 on either end for a total of 8. Super easy to clean up afterwards as well.

I love restoration work!!! I am 16 and I love to do these kinds of jobs. A couple of months ago I took my dresser and stripped all of the paint. It was a weak latex paint so it came off very easily. I then sanded the really nice wood underneath, and then left it as is. I was proud of the results. It is always a great feeling to look at a job once it is finished!

How much would you purchase the table for in the first place and then how much would you re-sell it for after restoration - seems like a fair bit or work for little profit if at all counting the hours put into the restoration.

Just seen this and . . . wow! The connection system is exactly like the footstool I made at school in 1963. Even the mortice and tenon joints match. I still have it although, over time, it had to be made more robust with a few heavy duty screws. Your comment was that this solution was common for 1890-1940 furniture. Just shows how old my woodwork teacher was! (UK)

Very nice! I especially liked the small dutchman repair on the leg and the way you made the new foot to replace the rotten bottom of the leg. It's good to see you took the time to get the pieces completely disassembled. I've seen so many "repairs" done by amateurs who take shortcuts and drive in nails and screws all over the place, to try to stabilize the parts. Obviously, disassembly is the only right way to do it. It takes twice as long, but what's the point of restoring something if a person is doing a half-assed job. I enjoy your videos and the editing.

This looks great. I doubt a beginner would have all the tools you used, though. My dad was a metal worker who manufactured and installed heating and air conditioning duct work. He was also handy in other areas. He built a lot of stuff and even invented some tools, although he never patented any of them, so he never made money from his inventions. I worked with him for a while. He died about 10 years ago, and he sold off all his tools before he died. I really miss him, but I also miss having access to the tools he had.

Just a hint!!!! After the first coat of varnish, use steel wool to knock the high spots down on the table legs and top. It’s like wet sanding a car to get the orange peel out. It’ll heat up the varnish and make it lay down for a smooth finish. That’s what I do on most of my projects. But, all in all... looks very good. Nice job 👍.

But I don’t have tools like yours. I want to restore it, but realistically, I won’t be able to. It is also very heavy.

Fellow restorer here ,it’s funny watching you work and saying to myself - why are you watching him work ,get out to the shop and get busy! I’m from Canada so I liked seeing your Euro tools. I’m surprised that there wasn’t fifteen nails hammered into the top by every generation trying to hold down the boards. You got lucky there because the nails usually permanently blacken the wood . The alkyd finish looked good but I was expecting shellac,I guess that’s just how I was trained. Thanks for distracting me with your good work.

I use both, alkyd and shellac. It depends what the client wants. The alkyd I use, often looks like shellac, so I sometimes even use them on the same item.
