Sanding has commenced first with ROS using 240 (exposed a lot of hidden damage) then 120 and finally back to 240. The pine top had severe stained but most have been sanded out.
Later I will spray...

Certainly not got oil on it. Doing that was my initial thought but I want to have a good pan for this table.

I bought this one today for a song in my books. I've had many before this and really they were assembly tables. This suits my preference to recycle and very much being a starter. The way I see it I...

Replaced bearing yesterday and after a lot of searching and offers to get them in I finally bought 6004 2RS bearing from local mower shop for $7 with knowledge they always have plenty of stock. They...

Picked this started project yesterday and in a rush to convert it into a bookcase for myself. It came from an estate at Amity Point Queensland I was told.
I decided to strip and start with shellac...

Just an update the top ended up being sanded to show the burnt area wasn't bad at all. I'm progressing with shellac and will just take my time with many thin layers. As it's just not about me this...

I certainly have a lot to learn. I do have some old large pieces of red cedar and 2 large planks of mahogany (ex table top) that I will also bring out to compare. Local wood dealer mentioned red...

The carcass of the drawers feel like red cedar in weight but the front is much heavier so I'm really leaning to mahogany.
Wife has seen it and asked where is mine as she needs our drawers to be...

No not soft like read cedar (my favourite wood) :)

Thank you that was very informative and relevant to me.
Bone makes sense to me.
I'm very interested to understand what pricing did and why. Was it introduction of machinery?

I happened across these drawers by mistake and for the price could leave them. Now I want to learn and protect them.
I thought they were red cedar but now I wonder if mahogany. I would like to learn...

Hi,
I'm looking for help to know what this wood is and how best to repair the finish. Should there be any sanding (I'm hoping not) or just cleaning and rejuvenation oil?
I'm thinking this isn't too...

If you do end up removing the back I would consider any inside work with the easy access before replacing it. When the ply is too far gone for me I try replacing with similar vintage ply of other...

Cabinet maker scraper suit me well

Cheers,

Thank you

Looking for advice on how to get these up to be users again. Picked these up today and looking for a way to get at least one of them as a user quickly. Can I get the missing parts from other...

Pulled out another smaller set of drawers of the same design to finish off and put together as a set. There is space underneath that show legs were attached before. I think it will be cool to get a...

Thanks, that makes a lot more sense than being open to the element. I'll cut some silky oak bars and work out the material.

Love the pictures showing the progress. Feel good I'm not the only one reusing the original nails :)

Looking for advice from people experienced with these.
When I got this someone had started stripping it.
Top was sanded, wood for hinge at back was removed, hinge and bracket were removed, and it...

Gave the top and drawers a 3rd coat. I try to run fine grit sand paper over each coat to ensure it's smooth.
Packing up for the week so the drawers are in until I'm ready to cut new runners and then...

Just the top layer. I was thinking I need to use some grease proof paper when I do it so that the melamine board I put against it doesn't get stuck.
You are right I am thinking these doors will have...

Thank you. Started the hunt for suitable handles. The little bit left of the old ones actually match the kitchen cupboard I'm working on at the same time so they will go to it.

Decided to start painting with water based satin clear to protect what I had started.
I started some scraping of the top ply wood and realised I was succeeding.
Next was the ROS with 120 grit...

Now on to the ply wood doors. Initially stripped with scraper and then ROS using 120 grit.
Next challenge is gluing and clamping the loose ply...
