Simple restorations with old hand tools.
I am a simple man, that likes to fix and restore things in my spare time. As the name says, I endeavour to make old things useful and tidy again. I like to voice over some history and guidance on what I do so that you might learn as you watch, but if you would rather, I won't be offended if you mute me completely!
Thanks for visiting and feel free to let me know how you would have done it or what I could do differently.

1960's Chest of Drawers - Furniture Restoration
For this endeavour, I will go through the process of striping, repairing and re-assembling a large chest of drawers, likely from the 60's or 70's. There are a few high's and low's and you will see me change some of my older methods permanently for new tricks. Hopefully you might learn something new!

1960's Queen Anne Dresser - Furniture Restoration
Просмотров 11 тыс.7 месяцев назад
This old dresser has plagued me for awhile. The price was good, but it was hiding a few secrets. Watch as I go through and try and fix this up the best I can to a fully functioning piece, while tidying up all this white paint. I hope you enjoy!

If you would like to support the channel - www.buymeacoffee.com/restorationendeavours Using mainly hand tools for the vast majority of processes resulted in a good outcome, all be it taking a long time. Join me as I restore and reupholster a furniture piece that I believe is of Jacobean style made in the late 1940's to 1950's. This video ended up taking a lot of time to complete and edit due to...
1930's Silky Oak Sideboard - Furniture Restoration

If you would like to support the channel - www.buymeacoffee.com/restorationendeavours For this old Sideboard restoration, I have tried to use only hand tools (though one power tool may have slipped in). I make a new drawer from scratch as well as strip back the darkened finish to expose the amazing grain of the Silky Oak underneath. I hope you enjoy my process and maybe learn something new, as ...

Looks great. Thanks for sharing! 🥃
Thiis is lovely, well done.
Absolutely gorgeous. I'm so glad people are saving the older pieces of furniture.
I would love to do stuff like this. The legs look Queen Anne style to me.
Wow what a learning curve.!!! Very good job
You did an incredible restoration. I've watched Buckminster Upholstery for awhile and he's amazing. I love your overkill steps on reusing the old springs and the D.I.Y. web stretcher is genius.I love it when someone comes up with an inexpensive way to make a tool instead of buying one you'll probably only use once. I agree it would be a shame to cover up the beautiful wood on the back of the sofa. Having said that I still think it needs back cushions. 👍👍
Thank for making and sharing the process of restoring the sideboard. It's such a beautiful piece buried under the old stain and neglect.
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing. 😊
What you have done looks so much better than plain white. The chalk paint colour is beautiful.
Я в восторге от вашей работы.Привыкла видеть реставрации новейшими инструментами и станками.А вы делали всё по старинке.Получилось просто супер .Шкаф заиграл своими красками.Будет еще много ,много лет радовать своих владельцев.Браво, чудесная работа.❤❤❤❤
Great job using hand tools. Fascinated me how you did it. Wonder how old it really is? This old lady may not know how to donit but you do and i learned. Which is a thrill.
Lovely finished piece!
Thank you!
Stunning piece , great job .
Thank you! Cheers!
Great result! But did you perchance edit out a few "bloody hells!" from this video? ;)
Yes. Yes I did. And there is also a bit of a time skip towards the middle as I had to leave it alone for awhile for my sanity.
@@RestorationEndeavours I've had projects like that (not in woodworking).
I have just found a mahogany Wittner model made in Germany with bell last used in the 1960s, some differences but your video is a good general start to get it going again. It immediately releases the whole wound-up spring.
Very cool! Check the the gears are meshing and not spinning free on the shafts. Though I am not sure if the bell mechanism effects it or not.
Nice video and nice axe. I have an all or Hults Bruk five star Arvika from around the 80s and it has the Reson field, eye just like plumb used to do.
Thanks for the info! I gave this one back to my dad so its been getting some good usage again.
@@RestorationEndeavours that's awesome
that finish is beaut'
Cheers!
Hi there where can I find that scratching tool at the beginning of your video?
That is not what we (USA) refer to burlap.
Thanks for the info! What would you call this then?
Lovely work! Thank you for sharing. ❤
Thank you too!
Back cushion YES..because it has recessed back panels that will be uncomfortable on your back recessed into those panels
I did make some for it in the end. Nice and big with bird patterns. Thanks for watching!
It's stunning.
Excellent
One of your best. Lovely to see oak left unstained.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love the test done on someone else 🤣
Only after I was sure it was safe!
Maybe a video on making a new handle in a more traditional shape?
Ps. When you replace a tenon, cut back into the rail and leave a tongue on the back of the tenon so that you can get a longer glue surface.
Lovely attention to detail. With regard to the nailed joints, you really want to get all the nail out if you can. Those small hole saws they use for making beads on a lathe work well. Drill through a guide block until you have the hole established. Can be filled with a plug after.
Thanks for the tip!
Amazing " it's a beautiful pan

Chalk paint is the devil... But I suppose it's OK to use on a modenr chipboard piece.
No! No paint. It came out beautifully. By the way, could you send some rain to South Australia. We haven't had any for about 3 months!
We took down an old Silky Oak that was near the end of its life and had to be very careful of the wood as it reputedly can irritate skin, do you have to worry about that working with it? If I’d realised exactly how gorgeous it is I might have kept some to do something with! Alas too late now.
I have heard that, but I think it varies for everyone. Id always mask up if cutting a lot of it though.
As a watch/clock maker, i will say that Dremel hurt my soul, but it actually working is much better than it collecting dust. Excellent work!
Thank you! What is the preferred method? Just hand polishing?
❤
Nice job. I have exactly the same one, but mine is almost like new , I have the one like yours and another the same make but in beach wood, Nice job by the way, the only problem sanding down the stem in it ends up too loose in the mortise, I have restored quite a few in my time specially the Marple ones I have some beautiful rosewood and brass ones, but wist from Norfolk in the UK.
Yeah, it can get a bit loose, but can be shimmed inside if needed. I try never to take to much from key surfaces unless they are stuffed.
У вас золотые руки.Свою работу вы делаете идеально. Результат вашей работы, блестящий. Очень красивый .❤❤❤❤
NO on painting this beautiful wood!!!
Question about straight head screws I think this is not a historic period piece to someday be worth thousands of dollars, therefore why not replace the screws with something more installable like hex head screws? If it is a valuable piece i understand going through the extra frustration of installing the screws to maintain the value. What is your position on the screws?
Unless they are really stuffed, I think it is nice to keep them. More of a personal preference I guess.
Very good video Thank you for the tips
No worries!
They were common in Argentina. I have the same brand and model...
If you wanted a more protective finish than shellac, what would you use?
It depends on the look really. Polyurethane is my go to. Oil based can give a darker finish but I have had great results with water based.
Dang squeezing birds.
👏👏👏
