I went trash picking for the second time in my life today. I met another lady who was doing it. She gave me a copy of the town map showing what days the garbage men came so she goes the night before or possibly early in the morning. She told me that she collects enough stuff to store in her 2 1/2 car garage that she has two yard sales a year and literally is wiped out of stock. Some pieces she paints or stains to try to get more money out of. She said she doesn't get rich but the last sale she had on 3 days she made a bit over $2,000 with everything. That's not a lot she said to many people but that will pay my electric bill all year long. Furniture and bicycles go the fastest. She tries to make "sets". A box with 8 plates, 4 glasses, 4 coffee cups.... then fills it with other kitchen items to make starter sets for young couples. They go for $20 a box. She gave me some really good idea's. My first great pick was a 6 drawer dresser. The other day I got two bicycles and already donated one to a kid whose parents were out of work. That little guy has ridden it everyday with others up and down the sidewalks. It's always a pleasure to sit back and watch your video's. Sometimes they give me idea's and sometimes others give me idea's I try to use around here. I watched Paper & Moose find a cardboard fireplace and she was like a child that just woke up Christmas morning. She finds some really cool items.

Use some nice furniture oil or some mineral oil or candle wax in the track where the roll top comes down that smooth it down and should make it real real nice

The roll top desk is over 100 years old. I inherited one exactly like it from a relative. It is a student desk. I was glad you rolled back the top so I could see that it is definitely the same inside and the chair is the same too. I’m sure it came as a set. I gave it to a cousin as I needed to downsize, but wanted to keep it in the family.

He Taco nice finds you have. I love that old desk and chair. Usually I do not want to "advice" you how to do things, because I do not know more than you do. But that grey stand, you want to make in a project piece... I would put a wooden board on the bottom of the space, where the drawer would have been. Than you create an open compartment. All in one colour, like you said, and it is a top piece.

The grey table thing, get your tools out fabricate a shelf into where the drawer is to be and create a cubby hole area, for storage, I amost said for a phone book, but many people don't have them anymore 😊, may look better than being open. Could be another Taco crafting video. Rolltop & chair looked good also, little cleaning with Murphy's oil could make it pop. 👍👍

That sml. red wooden, shelf, on it's side was another thing you may have used for sml. things in your storage area or sell. It was w/all that furniture. You, do crack me up though, noodle brain. Yes, the desk & chair go together, that's called a set. Try some furniture oil, to wipe on that roll top desk & chair, it will come to life, take a candle stick (cut to fight) & rub it in the track, where the roll top goes up & down, a few times; then push the roll top, up & down a few times, that will make a smoother maneuver, when putting the roll top, up & down.
