with a pretty huge project and uh I'm like 5ot 9 so this uh cabinet is definitely at least 8 ft tall 7 78 ft tall something like that anyways um and it is in here for a complete restoration it was actually built in a home uh with the home um and it is definitely over a 100 years old and uh They removed it from the home and behind it was the original PL work from the house so they got it into their garage and started stripping it and uh the doors were always missing uh the top doors here so they decided to make new doors uh we're going to be putting glass panels in these doors but they kind of ran out of juice on this one which is fine it's a big project and I asked if we would take over the job and continue um stripping and cleaning up and getting things uh looking good so um we are going going to be removing all of the old paint and and uh giving this piece a little bit more of a refined look but not super refined it is made of pine but Old Pine which is a lot more uh beautiful and uh clean that a lot of the pine a lot of you might be thinking of when you hear the word Pine uh so I will just show you some details close up here on what uh we're going to be doing and uh we'll get to work okay so um right off the bat um we're going to be taking this back panel off because to access and clean everything in here um requires me to be able to reach in places and and uh we're stripping the inside of the bottom as well you can see it's just really a mess in there too and the stripper has kind of gotten everywhere so here's the side um of the cabinet and it's beautiful Pine underneath all of this stuff and they did do a pretty good job stripping um there's probably a lot more layers of paint on here than when she started but we can definitely uh finish this up and I guess the doors were missing and he didn't know if they were uh solid doors or if they were pain doors but they want to be able to see into this cabinet so it would be really nice to have the glass on the top when everything is cleaned up inside another big repair that we have to do is uh the top piece here is missing uh quite a few chunks so we're actually going to be removing that whole top piece from the cabinet and uh running it through the table saw probably if I or a track saw maybe uh definitely got to get those Nails out and laminating a new piece of pine along the entire front of this cabinet and these are the dra uh doors for the bottom and they um are in need of some stripping I just have been wanting to do this for so long I'll do it for you isn't that satisfying but anyways I'm going to get these doors on off and the back panel off and we'll be Off to the Races so let's get at [Music] it good morning it's the next day in the shop and I did a few things before I left last night so let me show you where we're at get down get down good girl all right so I glued up a couple of uh wood chips that the customer had in a little bag uh just little pieces there and uh back here there was a piece couple other ones everywhere else uh these ones are all from this leg here which is going to need a lot of attention wood missing on the top wood missing on the bottom we'll deal with that in a bit uh this apron front here is missing a bunch of wood so we'll deal with that too anyways I pulled a lot more Nails last night uh out of this top all these big ones and kind of got into this big repair on the front here and pulled way too many nails out of this little piece of wood that was on here and uh I'm thinking probably going to rip off a whole section on the front of this top and laminate on some new Pine uh I think I'm going to do that don't think I'm just going to repair this section I think it's easiest just to put a new new front on the whole thing okay so working on repairing this uh leg here it um would seem to make sense just to cut off the whole leg uh but I don't want to do that I want to keep some of the center of this uh core running along with everything so I'm going to actually have two pieces um one that's going to take care of the veneer issues on the top here or the top layer of chips here and the other one that's going to take care of the chips down here now because this is such a huge piece I really don't like the size of the legs I'm going to be adding some pretty big blocking underneath here and here and there and there so I can put some actual good substantial gliders on the bottom of this piece so that this doesn't happen anymore um this chipping and breaking away of the pieces is because this piece was slid around on its feet and it catches an edge uh you should never really slide a piece of furniture on its bare uh feet like that without a little glider or else you do uh risk flaking off pieces of the wood there so um because we're going to be doing that what I want to do with this back piece here is uh flatten it out so I can get a new piece of pine uh to go on underneath here and uh as well here I don't want to do just a butt joint I want to it's a much easier transition if you can take it at an angle so I was just kind of playing around with this is how thick my board is I want to catch all that damage when I replace this piece so I'm just trying to catch every little bit of damage in an angle here that I can and it kind of looks like a little bit more of a 45 is needed so something like that so I'm going to cut along that edge just down to the depth of these um chips here so like an eighth of an inch so now I can take my chisel and uh start working that depth down so everything is even so that's going pretty good amount that I have it kind of on a same plane I'm going to grab my little planer trace the piece out that I need and uh cut that on the L or so there we go [Music] okay so I just um finished shaping this front piece here and I've actually put a couple of nails going into the frame to reattach attach this uh board to the the actual side here so that's just drying it's also glued um so I thought I'd get the blocks for the feet on and I've got uh I've cut a couple of fur blocks and I first cut them all the same height but then realized because these boards down here are not the same width that I'd have to kind of go by the edge of the bottom of the leg and instead so I just re cut them so that they're flush with this leg here so this is what we're going to glue on it'll also stabilize this front uh curtain and be able to support this leg as well and then on the bottom of this we're going to put a pretty substantial glider so I'm just going to glue these guys on think I'll go like that and that'll be enough CU all of the downward pressure pressure that these guys will have you don't really need a Fastener on these blocks okay so just working on some other repairs on the case and a lot of things I'm going to leave alone that are just surface damage and distress that is just fine in the age of the cabinet but stuff that was caused by damage from mechanisms or whatever I want to fix so this here was kind of um torn out because of the door and uh the mechanism on the inside of the door and so what I want to do is cut off a section here and just replace it with a new piece of pine because you can see that you know on the outside when the door is sitting in here and it looks kind of nasty so I'm just going to give it a cut and then we'll chisel it out and then uh I've got a piece of pine here that we can put back on and reshape this bead that comes in so I'm just going to cut it right above the damage here cuz I want to kind of go just above that bead even though I'll probably have to shape it anyways but this is a little bit tricky of a spot to Chisel in but we'll work it out there we go so now I can take my piece I'm going to have to make a little 45 degree cut right here okay so I just cut that on the band saw right there which will be a pretty tight fit which I want so let me cut that all righty I can see the angle is not perfect perfect but that's going to be good enough so I'm going to get some glue in here and on the top side of that miter and just on that corner good stuff okay so I'm just going to get a clamp and uh clamp it down here and I'll do the other side when I've got this thing flipped cuz it's a lot easier [Music] all right so I've had this uh inside top panel soaking and stripper for a while and uh cleaned up these edges because they're accessible now and you kind of have to on these big projects ignore the whole thing and work in these planes that are horizontal to keep yourself sane so I've got uh this damaged area in just an epoxy putty and then we've got our repair here that's looking really good and I did also a heat gun and scrape out the gunk in this groove and you can just see the difference like that one is full of stuff and it's supposed to look like a nice clean deep Groove and that is all around the frame so it's not too too hard it's just the right tools that you need to do it I did put a there's a big chunk of wood missing here um so I got to shave this down square and uh I did put a couple of filler Pieces Just Around little bit of the seam here this turned out really nice so yeah I've got this one soaking too this is one of the top shelves so I really kind of want to work towards getting it back back together um in terms of like the two shelves and the top on the back panel uh I can work on getting finished of as I work on everything else too so let's see how this paint scrapes off inside of here and uh yeah so I won't strip this top part I'm going to flip it and do everything from the other side and uh maybe by then I've got both the shelves and the top ready to go and we can put it back together [Music] [Music] okay it's Saturday morning in the shop and I did a couple things uh last night when I was working on the sky and we've got the inside of this all cleaned up and ready for sand again but I was working and noticed a lot of flaking um in a crack that went all along this panel here and uh this Old Pine sometimes had knots that ran through it in a really weird way and when I put a little bit of pressure on the area the natural occurring dowel just popped right out so this is a knot and they'll lift right out of sections of pine like this and uh you can kind of see in this board where it would have come from right here this crack kind of starts here and this is actually not a crack but it's a lifting uh piece like this and so what I did is cut it all out and uh add a piece of wood in there and then just uh sandwiched it in because I don't want the crack to go through the whole panel and I think it pretty much did cuz this one was really deep if you can see how far it went down there so I just filled with glue and sawdust and a stick so we'll just sand that down and uh it'll be nice and sturdy and what else did I get to um finished up this repair right here so that's got a piece left back and did a couple of uh sanding areas on our repairs here and I did end up sanding um all the insides here we're going to be painting so those are all prepped for paint and I mostly have to get this white layer of paint off um on everything CU it's not actually stuck to the oil paint Bel below it and then this is one of the shelves inside and I ended up regluing a split right here so that's all firm now so just needs another stand okay so I just installed these leveler feet and they just unscrew and there's a teut inset in here that I've drilled and popped in so if they do need to level this cabinet um they can if they don't then they can just sit all flush up against and support the cabinet there so that's um the base rebuilt it's nice and sturdy now and uh don't have to worry about dragging any of the wood and chipping anything anymore and uh it'll feel a lot nicer to move around even so we won't be doing that in the shop we'll just keep it on the cart that they made for it which is super handy and uh keep it from dragging on the gliders which you really shouldn't move furniture like that anyways but um so I'm just about to flip this I've got this side all repaired and sanded to 2 220 and I've been working on the top uh fixing some things now we're going to have to use that back piece with the Tenon because we don't have quite enough um out of our new piece that we attached to make this up so that I've got all repaired uh with a new piece of popler on the top there so that'll just be part of it still and that's fine so I'm not going to cut this down until I have the shelves back in and I know exactly widthwise what I want because it did shrink so I want to add that back on um and that way we'll we'll take care of that now I've got a couple of cracks here that I put wood wedges in and this is just from how the pine is and then I've got a couple of um pieces that flaked out here that I've put in little wedges face down so that I can just plan those off and those will be a good surface those are dry I can do that all right so I've got it all uh rough sanded and uh because this is the top that you see on the inside of the cabinet and we're going to have glass doors I'm going to fill all the voids and I have to fill around the knots and kind of scrape out out the the paint that I couldn't get with sanding and uh I have to fill it so that you can't see the paint that I can't get out of here so this crack I just need to make kind of like a Groove so that I can put putty over top of it and hide the fact that there's paint in there for the Finish okay so I've got this thing on its feet here and for the price of two more Nails one here and same on the other side uh I can free up this inside shelf uh it's two pieces and in between the two pieces is lots of cred and Corruption also the Gap was a little bit too big so I'll be able to get this apart easily to work on now that I've got these nails pulled we go so yeah you can see inside there's a bunch of paint crammed in there and also along this Edge so now I can get that all cleaned out without too much [Music] trouble yeah so there's like a good e inch um that I could probably add to the back of this to make it flush with this surface for nailing the backboards so I think I'm going to do that I'm just going to get a clamp on this to see if I can squeeze it together more good stuff right so we can let that dry and uh do some sanding on these shelves by time I'm done that they'll be ready to go [Music] [Music] [Music] feel [Music] all right so whole heck of a lot of scraping and sanding happen on the inside of this cabinet but it's looking really good and feeling really nice and smooth in there so we've got this piece glued on and I did a little bit of planing work just to make it nice and flush here and we've got this groove um nicely closed up to and I'm going to leave this uh knot here I'm just going to sand a little bit more and make it all nice and smooth and part of the the uh character Shop dog these toys that aren't hers they're her cousins up on top of the piano over there so she's having some emotional distress right now anyways and we so we got this all nailed back on I've got another nail going right through and that's all ready to roll that they need to succeed I hope they have the pride that I've been still in them all of their lives about who they [Music] are okay so then I can just glue this on and we're all good third or fourth day on this piece and we're plugging along um I've got this piece all in there and just puted the seams and uh cleaned up the edges everywhere got the insides last inside piece all uh sanded and I'm working on the side here I won't be completely prepping it because I have to flip it over again and I don't want to do my final sand until we have um the shelves back together up top so there was a split here and I was going to leave it but there was a little bit too much movement so I'm just putting in these wood wedges and it was in clamps just to stabilize the brake and uh right now I am just working on cleaning out this groove you can see there's a lot of paint in there and I've just been cleaning it out so that it looks nice and clean and the other thing I've been doing is um putting a big long clamp where these tenons meet they're Tenon like Peg tenons that go into these pieces and there's pretty good gaps here they were full of paint and they were also spread apart quite a bit so I've just been using my uh longer pipe clamp clamping everything together and then uh putting some more pins uh in the in the back where I can access it so you won't see the work but um in the back of the tenons so that uh the gaps can close up a little bit and hold together so I've done that here and I've done it also in the center [Music] [Music] [Music] all right so I've been working away here and I got that whole Groove cleaned out and I decided to uh put a little bit of of glue in behind here and just clamp this on and reset all the nails in and make sure it's kind of not a big huge gap like it was there and we've got this repair playing down and the whole side is puted and ready for a rough sand so I'm going to do that before I actually turn it [Music] over [Music] [Music] every [Music] [Music] all right so I've been working on the back panel while um the clamps dry on the face frame on the cabinet and stripper doesn't touch the stuff too well so I've just been scraping the most of the paint off and then sanding so these are the back panels I've already scraped those guys and uh the stripper that um the customer was using kind of got all over the bottom piece we're actually going to be painting these three panels here and then these will be seen through the glass on the top so these ones will strip completely and these ones will just prep like we did inside the cabinet so I've got two two left for scraping and then standing um and there'll be a few repairs there were a few cracks in a couple of these so we'll go through each one and make sure that it's uh really nice and sturdy and clean and then that'll be all ready and basically that is every bit of prep except for those two uh doors which she did strip as well but there they still need a lot of cleanup so um yeah I'll just keep scraping in here and uh get it done [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] all right so I've got the top fit on here and I just um temporarily put the trim up because I want to get a measurement on the top overhang theh side has about a half inch and I've squished this um this little joint in here more than it was before because I want to make up for the shrinking of this piece so I'm looking here and it's kind of looking like maybe I could leave a little bit more than half inch on the top sometimes the front overhang is more than often more than the sides don't have that piece on yet but um yeah so I'm just thinking maybe we do 3/4 of an inch in the front and uh that would look all right okay so we cut 3/4 inch off of this piece and now I want to put some distress in it because it's too hting I got these rocks here that I've been mean to sweep off of my driveway so I'm just going to let see how we go oh yeah look at that stuff it's in line with the rest of the piece Perfect all right so my camera was dead when I was putting these nails in but we did have to drill some new holes um the previous Builder missed the mark So I had a couple of puttied areas here here where Nails didn't quite go inside perfectly so we moved them over a little bit closer to the outside to go into that center of the side here and uh the other side was fine and so now we just have these nails in the front to get to attach the frame to the top and I've just got this pulled in here with a clamp so I'm going to get to the other side so I can work from there and make sure it's nice and tight all right so there's our top all all attached I'm tempted to fill these holes but I'm not going to I'm going to leave it rough like they did and uh I did putty a few holes on that I did for the distressing here to make it match all the other areas that have putty as well to make it look like we repaired it cuz it's old so now that that is on there I can go ahead and attach my corner or round mold molding um got one sit on here that's that little repair we did the missing piece and all right so it's a Saturday beautiful sunny lovely day and we're in the shop here getting some more work done on the cabinet it's looking really good got three coats of the porch paint on uh everything in here nice and sealed good clean job so that'll be really great if they want to do Linens or anything it won't uh get anything dirty in there it'll be nice place to to store stuff and uh it looks really nice and clean and last night I was starting to work on these doors and I was looking at this door and thinking oh my word it's going to be such a pain in the butt to you know clean up everything properly and really well when it's all together especially this groove you know you really just can't get in there and do the job that you want to do so this whole cabinet is put together with mortise and Peg Tenon and nails of course lots and lots of nails I still have so many nails to put back in but anyways um and so I just decided you know what because these aren't glue joints I'm just going to pop these tenons out take the whole door apart strip it clean it save myself the trouble and uh put put them back in and will'll be much easier so I did that I took this one apart um it came apart pretty easily and uh I was able to do a few little repairs on areas um that were broken and the other thing is that's going to be nice about taking these apart is I'm going to be able to realign this trim because doors shrink you get these gaps and you know cleaning up in there is really tough and also I can reset you can see this one for sure how it's kind of curving in on the center the panel has shrunk and pulled the trim with it so I can reset all of that trim into its proper position and uh make this door wonderfully cleaned up and properly put together again so yeah I got this one apart I think I'll do one at a time just uh scrape it down and sand it like we did the uh the back panels [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] all right so I've got all these pieces sanded and I got some Putty these guys were scraped pretty badly up uh from before we took it apart so we got uh some of the deep gouges putty just to make them look a little bit better and we'll give them a good sand so that can all dry and then I'll go over it with 220 before we put it together uh in the meantime I'm going to sand the rest of this face frame here and reattach all the trim so there's a little molding piece that goes underneath here that I've got prepped and ready to go uh right here goes along the sides and then I also need to do a little bit of sanding on the crown molding and yeah so I might um at this point because the white paint is finished uh go ahead and tape off that whole opening uh so we don't get it too dirty and messed up [Music] okay so um I'm about ready to take this second door apart here I just started pulling the trim and I've got all the the pegs out of the tenin and they're all marked to where they go so I'll put them back in the exact same spot this is just the old piece for that handle that we took off it's actually a really cool handle um so this is the mechanism that was on and it's like a door handle like a mini door handle with a screw um or a what I a threaded Rod that moves into this piece here and then a uh set screw that fits in just like a door handle would be so that would swing inside the door and close it up against a wedge and these things cause quite a bit of damage actually we're not going to be putting the same system back so now that we've got 10ins out and uh everything is free there's no glue joint on these joints so we're just going to start working everything apart there we go so again I'm going to take um a punch and actually Mark the inside of this excuse me to the tenons that go with it so this is two just going to actually write it on here two and three because it's going to be coming off of here when I sand it off so can't really mark it on this piece but I'll know from reference and put the pegs back where they are here all right so I've got this uh door just in PTY waiting to dry I thought I'd work on um the new doors and the new doors are so much way way too pretty for the rest of this you see how much character everything has and so they did get a firm talking to outside and they've got a lot of dents and scrapes and scratches that we've added a few Hammer hits some uh chisels thrown at it all kind of stuff anyways and we just need to get some color in those divots and dents like everything else has when you look at the old C Uh Wood it's got discoloration and that discoloration sits in all those dents and divots and uh when we sand we sand the the wood that's smooth to a higher level than this stuff because it's below that surface so you want to simulate that so what I've done is stained this after we beat it up with uh raw Umber and so this is going to dry and then I'm going to sand it like I would everything else here that we've done so that the the uh smooth surface wood is going to be lighter and this color is going to stay in all the damage that we've caused on the pieces so I just have this one to do and I can let those dry for a night and then stay on them the next day and uh then everything should kind of be in the same family for when we do the actual stain color so I'll show you how that goes on okay so I'm just using a raw umber glaze for this so it's really runny and I've been adding a little bit more Paint Center to it just to kind of get it to run over the surface not so much but sit in that Groove so I'm just going to messily get it everywhere we're not concerned about even coverage or anything like that with this cuz we're just getting that color into all the damage trying to make them a little ugly I I'm presuming I'll probably need to do quite a bit of uh tinting although I want that contrast I still want it to look um I want the work to look clean so it's going to be a majorly distressed piece but I still want the Finish to be even and the the color to be even across pieces so I'm 100% sure I'm going to be doing some toning work to get that okay so I've been carving a hinge out of a bigger one here and basically taken off the two sides and the two ends and ended up with something the similar size I've been searching for a while I just haven't been able to find anything like this close enough so mostly I'm trying to match barrel size CU that's what you see outside of the cabinet so I want that Hefty Barrel on the outside of the cabinet there and this is a really thick hinge as well this one is the thickest one I could get in a modern hinge so I'll still have to shim that one up on the inside uh for the hole that's got that is there but now I need to Mark where these uh holes go all right so it's not pretty but it's going to work um so it's a little thinner like I said so I've got these uh Oak shims that we're going to be putting behind the door just on this one and the cabinet uh where this one goes everywhere else we can use the originals so I've actually also plugged the old holes because they're a little bit different and I just want to be able to get some meat so I'm just going to glue this guy into place first and then when that's in you can see here that the hinge sits it's perfectly flush with the cabinet door so I want to mount these two doors because I know that they've shrunk a lot and we've sanded and removed some material as well um but we're going to probably be adding laminating on a piece of um Pine to the to the insides of these just to close that Gap but when I get them on the cabinet you'll see that so I'm just going to clamp this little piece in place when it's dry we'll uh drill new for the for the uh Hines I'm just going to line this up in the opening here and I'm going to be using a special drill bit this is actually for finding the center in a hinge and this little chamford area sits right in to the the uh chamfer of the hinge and then it allows that drill bit to come through right in the center of that hole so so just a little bit of a jig to make life a tiny bit easier so I'll just Center it and drill it in GE you know what guys it takes a whole lot of different skills

bit more of a shim on this side but anyways for the most part they are where they're going to be and you can see there's a pretty hefty Gap right here in the middle and so I've cut a couple of strips actually from the top that we took off of this Old Pine and I'm going to laminate it onto the door and then we'll just have to do some shaving just to close that Gap up because it's way too big and we'll do that on both sides well I've been working away uh trying to get these doors all fitting and putting those pieces those filler strips in and I was going to attach them to the edge of the doors but then I just didn't want to lose the uh through tanon look on both those and these because it's part of the look and also these are not super even for gluing surface so I decided to add the filler stick to the center median here just made more sense I know it's a little awkward but um it's better than having a giant Gap there and now we can close that up without doing anything to the doors so it just makes them a little bit uh more median you won't really see it when the stain is all on there and again the the uh upper on the upper Center median as well uh these doors were probably made to the same size I think not sure why but they were uh made too small so the gaps were also up there but I guess it looks good having it both on the top and the bottom so we've got this um the Hing is in and shimmed and positioned and I've got the mortise cut into the door here for the the shim and uh here's our new hinge down here that we made and I'm going to throw that in vinegar overnight so it gets all dark like the rest of them and uh yeah so fitting doors takes a long time so that was pretty much everything I did today I was in town earlier and I order the glass and picked up that hinge and also uh ordered a bunch of ball catches for the doors uh so that they can be closed this door is a little warped so it likes to sit a little bit more open here but with a little bit of pressure I think we can bring it in good morning everyone on to the color work so I've decided to go with onx and I've diluted it 50% with paint thinner in my little can here to get a really light application this is our sample here you can kind of see does have some yellow tones in it more than I saw before so I'm happy about that um and this stain is really really really purpley blue and that kills yellow so when you put it on something like Pine you can really calm that yellow down but you know you're looking at here it's way too purple for this uh sample but what you need to understand is that when you put a clear coat over top of this stuff you're going to get a lot of those yellow tones out so you can just see how well of a match it's hard to show on the the iPhone here I can catch it right in the perfect light there we go how good of a match that really is and if I need to warm it up a little bit that is not hard to do all righty so pretty wild look at this door that's a lot of character some of you might be like oh my goodness it looks so bad don't worry it's going to look crazy when we get it all over that whole thing and we're going to tone it down with toning in the booth so we're going to be um pretty light on our application so we have a lot of room to move down to this color you can see you know we have a lot of ways to go before we get to thisor color so we'll be able to kind of go over the whole thing and and uh quiet it down a little bit but other than that we've got some good amount of character going on here and you can see how much more yellow the Old Pine is versus the new Pine and uh I'll just put a little bit of arsel on here to show you the difference so you got a lot more more of that yellow but this has some to here but the in between Parts I'm talking about is a lot less yellow but what I've been doing is uh kind of pre-burn burnishing this old stuff so I'm just taking a four o steel wool and before I even stain just removing any fibers and really burnishing that surface uh before I go ahead and stain just so I don't have a ton of um penetration with the stain so it still looks crazy and wild but we'll be able to deal with that in the booth and this is where a professional job comes uh makes a difference because if you don't have this ability to tone the wood this is kind of your end product here and although that you know that might be acceptable to some people it needs another level of of uh detailing in my opinion so um yeah I'm just going to get everything stained inside and out and uh see how it all looks together inside everywhere the shelves will probably be a little bit quieter just because they don't have that much distressing uh we had to St on them quite a bit and I didn't really put it back in there cuz mainly the the distressing was on the exterior of the cabinet where it was worn worn and beat up so I'll get a montage going here and we'll get all this thing [Music] colored [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] all right so it's dry it overnight and I'm really liking how it's looking uh this morning I picked up some just some Pine trim and got these pieces inside here done to hold the glass in which is in so I can go pick that up today so what I'm going to do now is just get everything under clear coats um it shifts the color a little bit so I'm not going to do any color work before we get that clear coat on everything and I'll probably do two coats back to back uh just to get a good seal going and uh sand that down and then adjust the color and mostly I'm you know I don't want to go too much darker but I just want to even things out between the darks and the lights and mute the edges and stuff like that also on the sides you can see a lot of uh putty work and stuff like that just want to kind of tone it all down and uh quiet it up a little bit as well but it's looking good I'm really happy with it we got the uh back panel here uh all stained up as well so I'll just have to mask off the white part and we'll run a couple coats Sal Locker on those as well and uh yeah so let's get to [Music] [Music] it oh [Music] oh [Music] oh [Music] [Music] it is finished this was a big one guys and uh it took me a good three weeks to get it finished up so here it is I'm really satisfied with the results and the work that we did to get everything looking this way um I'm really happy we disassembled all the stuff that I decided to do um really worked out really well for me here so if you remember starting from the top we took the entire top section off and uh Rel laminated new piece of pine up on the top Edge there that whole top section was missing we had all of this trim off for cleaning up including the trim down here around base and these doors were made by the customer they were new and we put a seated glass in the doors and here's our glass slats holding in the glass looks really good we've got a couple of ball catches two on each door because these doors are warped so it's holding them the best um that they'll do a little bit warp still but it's working out and uh we distressed these doors and colored them and got them to kind of fit in with everything else that's going on so they look like they've always been there now and the sides are looking good too can see not too much craziness with all the putty that we had to do on the sides they look really nice still distressing and marks and stuff like that but not loud so we did uh a big repair on the leg there's the the piece that we replaced and we've got those four Big Blocks with the levelers underneath so when it gets the customers home it'll uh have a good sturdy base and they can level it if it's a little tipsy and the base doors we took completely apart to clean up and reglued them and we actually made a new hinge which is down here we colored it to match uh stripped all the interior and painted inside for a nice clean storage compartment and we've got one latch that I've just put up here on a block uh these doors fit a little better so yeah big big job uh thanks for joining me on this one guys it was a long one and uh even longer in the shop makes look easy on camera
