If you would like to watch another one of my projects - • The Best Restoration V...
Or maybe this one - • Incredible Transformat...
This week I am repairing and refinishing a small console table that was in pretty bad condition after sitting in a shed for several years. The finish is worn out and flaking and veneer is starting to shed along the edges. The entire piece is wobbly and a leg is about to fall off. Other than that, it is great shape!
This was a more simple project than I usually post on this channel. I began by removing the finish from each piece after disassembling, repairing some gouges in the wood top using heat and moisture, and using oxalic acid to remove stains from the wood and even out the color. I glued the veneer back in place and plugged and tapped a new hole for the screws in each lower leg. After conditioning the wood, I stained the wood and treated with boiled linseed oil and finishing wax to enhance the look of the grain and give it a little shine.

Thanks to all for visiting my channel and watching how I refinished this small console table. Please tell me how you feel about the oil and wax finish I applied in lieu of a poly or shellac. I discovered that this table may have belonged to my great grandparents and was passed on to my parents in 1970 so it is much older than I had originally thought. If you feel like watching another furniture project of mine, here is a video of me repairing and restoring an old rocking chair kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qs19itqLzq-tg4E.html. See you in the next one!

That's so cool. That table could fit just about anywhere in a home. What a family treasure. I don't know enough to comment about the oil and wax, but I love how it looks and the fact that it's protected.

I have a tale like this and you made the one you found look spectacular. I wondered why you didn't use stripper and rather scraped off the varnish, though, plus, while the fninsh looks fantastic, some people who don't want plants or their guests wrecking their furniture with water stains may prefer a waterproof finish.

@Restorology 5 ай бұрын

@@mizvitko8109 Thanks! I do not like using stripper and the old varnish on this just flaked off with a scraper. Much easier. I used a wax finish because I like the look and feel of it. It is not as sturdy as a urethane or lacquer but there will be no plants on this and no guests will be using it to hold drinks!!

@Life_of_Rita 4 ай бұрын

How cool that this has passed down from your great grandparents! I seem to recall seeing a similar table that was called a "pie crust table" due to the fluted edge of the table. Whatever it's called, it's beautiful! ❤

I just finished watching a restoration video on another channel where every step was explained in detail. I loved it and subscribed. Now I watched this video where not a word was spoken. I loved it equally as much...which is how I ended up subscribed to dozens of channels like this. I just love watching old furniture being honored and treated with love and respect. It's beautiful and seems much happier now. 😉

@Restorology Hey, thanks for the reply! It's called "Restoration Endeavors". My two top favorite channels of all time are "Mid-century Modern" (You'll love Barry!!!) and "Modern Makeovers" (his editing style is crazy good). I also like "Transcend Furniture Gallery". I'd love to hear what you think of them. I also watch a lot of channels where old things are fixed and restored, which is really cool too. I meant to say I subscribed to your channel. 🙂

@@VioletJoy @RestorationEndeavours is fave of mine as well. In my opinion, his narration sets his channel apart from the rest of us. I've tried narrating but I do NOT like the sound of my voice on camera. I have not seen the other channels you mentioned but will check them out this week. I am always looking for good content to binge! If you like commentary about what is being worked on, try @flippingdrawers.

If I am remembering right, he told me the table belonged to his grandma and she used it at the front door for keys, mail, ect. Then later on as a phone table.
