Tambour is french for drum. Tambour furniture, usually desks, have those articulated sliding tops that emulate the round shape of a tambour (drum).

Gosh - what an incredible piece of furniture! As much as I appreciate the 'opulence' and craftsmanship of antiques - these mid-century modern styles were (and still are) such wholesome changes to the overload of decoration on furniture in the average-income household. I luckily grew up with parents who preferred this style and had a lot of furniture made by a carpenter - although money was always tight - and I was often shocked by what I saw at friends' homes: cheaply made, dark brown, what we call in Germany 'Eiche Rustikal', that ought to look expensive but wouldn't survive a single move. I inherited most of them and keep them like a treasure. They are all over 60 years old and still look fresh and modern. Your work is awesome and I enjoy every single video. Thank you for your educational entertainment - or entertaining education.

Shop dog in ear protection…made my day! Your ‘Right/Left’ signs reminded me of a 45 year old mistake I made during my apprenticeship. A complex hand built chest of drawers came in that needed complete disassembly. I fought for my opportunity to work on such a beautiful piece…convincing my hesitant craftsman boss that “I was ready!”. I forgot to mark where each piece came from and my patient boss handed me a pencil and some masking tape and told me to reassemble it over and over again until every nail hole and every screw went in smoothly without resistance. 63 times…..that’s how many times i put it together and pulled it apart. My very patient boss sent me home for three days, withheld pay for that day and let me come back..well humbled…to put it back together and finish it for the customer. I learned more on that one piece (and the deduction of a week’s pay $62.00) than on any other piece or time in my apprenticeship. I NEVER have forgotten to mark every piece since then! Another great video! Nice job.

Hi Thomas, another impressive repair of a cool cabinet! I did a tambour repair on the liquor cabinet in a 1968 Stevens 69 foot cabin cruiser in Sausalito, Ca. It belonged to a good friend and while in the boat was in the shipyard I noticed the fabric had deteriorated and the doors did not operate smoothly. Despite some fantastic restoration work on other parts of the mahogany salon, these doors seemed to flummox the woodwright and the boat got delivered with the doors untouched. So I offered to fix them. My friend was confident but his partner in the boat was skeptical. I showed him my portfolio of repair work and he agreed to let me try. The cabinets could not be removed so I cut the fabric on each slat and worked them all out one at a time. After cleaning and waxing all the slats on the workbench I placed them back in the track dado and applied the fabric in situ with the slats in the open position. It worked beautifully and I won over the skeptic who became a good client! Your repair here reminded me of that small victory, Thanks!

I don't think I have seen anything like this before, although I think I played with some as a kid, but nothing this high quality. Glad you explained the gloves I was attempting to figure out what chemical was being used, or maybe what dust / wood was an allergen. As someone who only gets light frosts, never snow and always high humidity, I didn't realize this was an issue. Also confused as your breath wasn't showing. Does this mean the air temp was high enough that it didn't show, but the thermal mass of the metal tools was cold, hence the issues? Also thanks for converting temperature into C. Fahrenheit makes no sense at all when one didn't grow up with it.

It's funny how much of this was like another restoration channel I really enjoy, but for paintings, 'Baumgartner Restoration' He always seems to be scraping the back of a portrait to get the old backing off, and often has the same issue of the glue bond being weak, but annoying stubborn. And when you rolled out the glue, was almost just like how he applies washi kozo paper to the facing of the painting to give it protection, usually while he trying to flatten it out (which you also did, though with wax paper covered board vs. weights) So interesting to watch the worlds collide. Despite my not being a carpenter or furniture restorer, I've learned so many innovations from your channel, Thomas. Thank you
