Reviving A Classic Oak Treasure: Vintage Box Restoration
In this video I will be refurbishing a home-made oak box. I believe that it was used to hold a canteen of cutlery, possibly for a wedding in 1957. As I don't have the cutlery I'll be fitting the box out with dividers so that it can be used for a collection of some sort.

Once again, well done. I love the music as well. Just one little thing, if I may make a suggestion . . . it would be great at the end of the video you could show us what you started with and then the "Reveal". It would show the dramatic difference of you labor. Thank you again. Katie

Lovely restoration. I have a canteen of cutlery from my grandmother (complete with cutlery) which is in a poor state. I had thought to restore it myself so your video comes in handy. I grew up just down the road from you in Llantwit Major!

I always pass on old silverware boxes in thrift stores, but now I think that will be my next project as you inspired me! If you would be so kind did you use 1/4 inch wood to make the dividers?
@RhooseRestorations
5 ай бұрын
Hi, thanks for the kind words! The wood for the dividers was 25mm x 5mm so I guess 1" x 1/4" would work fine.
Very nice - it closes with a sssssh, so satisfying. I'm curious to know what the partitions are for - not the shape for cutlery. Some sort of collection?
@RhooseRestorations

From the original lining I thought it had held a canteen of cutlery but as I don't have the cutlery I thought I'd make it more generic, probably for a collection as you suggested. The dividers are removable so it could always be reconfigured. Thanks for getting in touch

@@RhooseRestorations Yes, I'm sure you're right about the cutlery canteen, but I don't suppose most of us will ever go back to using silver cutlery, too much work cleaning. So a good idea to change it.
Beautiful job.....but those dividers are too small....how are you supposed to put silverware in those small squares?

As I don't have the original cutlery I decided to make it a more adaptable design, more suitable for a collection of some sort
What is acrylic sanding sealer ?
@RhooseRestorations
4 ай бұрын
That's a whole can of worms! Some use it, some don't but it seals the open pores of the timber prior to the application of the next coat, meaning that more of it stays on the surface and less of the finish is needed.
