My grandfather worked for the Lane company in Rocky Mount, VA. In the 1960’s to 70’s. I still store things in my Lane cedar chest that was a Christmas present in 1979 and I use the miniature chest given to me at graduation! Thanks for all your hard work preserving this chest.

I just pulled out my Lane cedar chest I’d gotten in 1969. The outside needs cleaning and painting but interior of mine is also pristine. Will be tackling it soon as my studio is completed end of the month. Thanks for inspiring 💕

THANK YOU for no music!

🤔I would have thought you'd remove the Particle Board and replace it with actual wood!!!! But, I'm glad you saved this piece.

To replace it with oak would have cost over $250. Oak is very expensive. I would not have made any profit on this chest if I replaced it with oak. I was able to repair it very inexpensively. I have no doubt the repair will last for a long time.

Wow, it turned out amazing. I was impressed with all skills you used to restore this. So many different products and tools. I noted your safety gloves and respirator, too. Viewers can learn a lot from you.

This video is unique. Repairs are a usual step in a restoration, but this is the first time I've seen reconstruction be part of one. I was really anxious to see how you were going to replace the destroyed base. It never occurred to me you would rebuild it. Bravo for a job well and beautifully done!

I hope all of those animals live long, natural and peaceful lives.

It's great that you showed us how to save the base. Oak boards are expensive and this way the veneer matched.😍

My mom graduated in 1947 and I graduated in 1972 and we both got the free mini chests and she later purchased a full size chest, or her parents purchased it for her, I dont know which. Now I have the full size chest and my moms mini chest. I gave my mini chest to my daughter. We didnt live in Dallas when she graduated but I dont know if they still give mini chests to graduating senior girls. Its a nice tradition though.
