So satisfying to watch you transform a sad little forgotten tea cart back to better than brand new. I used to apprentice for my grandfather in his workshop next door when I was in high school. He built furniture but left a lot of the restoration work for me which I loved. Watching this video brought back the wonderful smells of woodshavings, mineral oil and his favorite pipe. I'm in my happy place after watching this. Maybe i should take a new look at my garage and make space for restoration!

Hello Cathy, Yvonne from Melbourne, Australia here. You are lucky to have such warm feelings and memories of your Grandfather, and sharing a job that creates something special from broken and old things. I hope you have some of his self built items now that he’s gone. And I, myself, think that would be a wonderful thing to do….start resurrecting old or damaged furniture. Perhaps you could do what Jay does and have your own channel where we could watch your creations/ restorations and barrack for you. I just love fixing things that others would gladly throw away, but my projects are usually sewing or mending. Any saved object has its own vale, both for the repair-person and the end user! Go for it, girl😊❤️🦘

@yvonnepagan9912 yes I do!! I have a grandmother clock that he built from a cherry tree that he picked out himself. I have a round colonial table that transforms into a chair. Both items I was there to watch and learn from him. I have a couple things that I found at flea markets that I restored. I love wondering about the craftsman that built them and the family that owned them. Our Savior was a carpenter! What's not to love about that?! And I, like you, mostly work with sewing and crochet and a wide variety of crafts. I'm a jack of all trades and master of none! So wonderful to hear from someone on the other side of the world!

Congratulations on a beautiful restoration.

Watching you restore an old table you found brought back some memories. Back in 1974 I acquired an antique oak rocking chair frame. Years later, I refinished the frame in a golden oak finish. A few years later, and a big life change, I found an upholsterer that would build up a period seat cushion. Many years later, I am sitting in this chair, in 2023! It will be passed down and probably last another hundred years.
