Well, if you've got some free time, I have a single wardrobe, a dresser and a chest of drawers, all solid wood, probably from the 1930's, that need restoring .....

Ha! Actually Omah it's not difficult just time consuming. It can be lucrative too I found a Rackshaw table in a second hand warehouse it was in a terrible condition. I bought it for £100 then spent a couple of weeks restoring it. I found the exact same table in a Harrogate Antique shop £1,700 that made me very happy

Get yourself to utube for tutorials and give it a go

Years ago (before the internet), I restored several musical instruments, including a violin, a mandolin, a cello and a banjo. I was very definitely untutored, apart from school woodwork lessons, so the end results were botched but playable. Most of the instruments are long gone and I don't play any more but I do still meddle with music, which, like restoration, takes up a lot of time, so I leave furniture and furnishings to experts .....

Re: My Little box

A very nice job Summer. I'll tell you what, that's a damned sight better job than that woman on TV who gets crap from skips and tries to refurbish them. The stuff she gets looks like refurbished crap.

Re: My Little box

Summer, if ever I see your legs sticking out of a skip, I shall take you home and give you a good clean up.
