    My dining table is huge, old, creaky and beautiful. I'm guessing it's oak, and from sometime before mid-century with its heavy rounded legs and hand-carvings throughout. The only problem is the wood veneer panel in the center of the table that has started to chip away, presenting a splinter...

    Building a dresser for the little one. Carcass is made of a combination of 3/4" ply, sitting on a 3/4" walnut base with more 3/4" walnut on the sides of the dresser. In other words, 3/4" everything. I've been assuming I'd make the walnut drawer faces 3/4" as well. But I'm curious what the...

    Hi All! I am new to the forum and to restoring furniture! I am very or eager to learn skills and work on restoration projects.

    Hi Everyone. I've been wanting to get on here for a while and get into woodworking. I recently got a vanity table with the mirror from FB Marketplace that seems to be from the 20's or 30's. I think it must've been a catalog item from Sears or Montgomery Ward because there's a large number...

    Hi guys, I've just used my homemade scraper made from a hack saw blade which was not good anymore. I found it easier to scrape the existing finish off a curved drawer edge instead of sanding. I hope this will help someone else, as I don't really like sanding which is messy too. This is the...
