Oh wow 🤩 that’s so kind and generous 💛 thank you for watching, glad you enjoyed the video

I lived in Morocco for a couple of years and the wood is from the olive tree. It’s the most common form of wood used there for furniture. However they do also use almond, thuya, ash and boxwood as well as importing lots of ebony and rosewood. I love olive wood as the grain is always so beautiful. You did an excellent job on this table. It looks absolutely wonderful.

I had *exactly* that table. Where my mother got it, I never knew, but I inherited it and passed it on to a friend when it wouldn't fit in my new house. She's still using it and in fact sent me a link to this video. The only thing I ever had to do with it was polish the brass. By hand.

Wow Jay! What a beautiful piece. I knew I was gonna like this project the moment you revealed the piece you’d be working on. Stunning piece made even more stunning by your expert craftsmanship. By the way, I really like the videography technique you used. I loved the new intro and I liked that you narrated as you worked instead of overdubbing audio narration. Great craftsmanship, both with the project and with the videography.

I totally agree about the Production aspects. He’s much more comfortable in front of the camera and with video production, so having him talk in real time rather than dubbing later is a much better idea. I also really like the new intro…it’s a step closer to having his account feel like a show/channel rather than a bunch of individual videos. A longer version - like 30 seconds - (imho) would be really great idea.

My parents had a nearly identical table to this one, except the top was oval. It had a smaller round companion that was used as an end table. I recall them as being impossible to clean properly with what was available at the time. You did a fantastic job on this one.

Brass polishes have been around since the beginning of the early 20th century. I have used salt and water, pumice and water, even a light coat of rubbing compound. They need a weekly whipe down or nowadays a clear coat finnish. Clear laquer was used before clear coat but you had to be careful cleaning it after. Most of the time it got a bad rap, because the brass wasn't prepped well at first and then harsh cleaning chemicals left bare patches in the laquer which required stripping the whole surface and people didn't want to ordidn't realize it needed to be stripped. Believe me I would gladly polish a table top over well used brass cuspidors.

I love the little indian carved wood occasional tables that quite often have brass inlay patterns on the top because they're beautiful and can conveniently fold up. This is much better, though (not to mention bigger), si I'm now a convert from Indian tables to Moroccan ones😂. The table base is beautiful, and the brass top came out so nicely thanks to all your hard work and perseverance.

I would love that table so much! I went to Morocco every three months for nine years when I lived in Spain... I never did get one of those, but still wish I had one now. I have four tables with brass tops but mine are all Asian, two are Antique. I clean mine with fresh lemon juice. I just cut the lemon in half and rib the flat cut lemon onto the brass. Once in a while I use Brasso, and if I get a bad stain I may use some finest steel wool. All Summer my brass table tops are outside on my deck with a thick clear glass over them so they stay untarnished and protected.

Bravo très belle rénovation

Jay: beautiful job. In fact, magnificent. I remember seeing these tables. Very popular in the 1960’s. Believe it or not, they were affordable, anywhere from $69.95 to $129.95, based on size. They were the rage at the time. This has a new life due to your expertise. Fun to see one restored. Carol from California

Wow! Absolutely stunning. Perfect piece for you.

Good job. 👍👍The only thing you always want to do with brass is a sealant. Wax sealer for brass polishes also or a laquer after. Don’t try the sealant especially made for brass on big surfaces like that. It will get really streaky. Without any of those this will turn dark pretty quickly. Cute table
