They’re well built, not Chip core with plastic embossed and have solid wood parts. North Carolina still makes great furniture by Great Craftsman. Please don’t sell us so short.

Thomas, one of the things I really like about your videos is that your shop looks like mine…sort of controlled chaos with a mix of old and new machinery and hand tools that proves you have been in business for decades and decades. So unlike the many KZread maker channels with racks and racks of matching perfectly organized brand new tools, shiny new machinery without a single chip out of the paint job, all ensconced in a room without a single speck of dust to be seen anywhere. Kind of reminds me of the Woodwright without all the blood and gore! 😂❤

LOL My shop is so unorganized to the average person but when my kids need something and they ask me for it, I say go into the shop and on your left hand side on the second shelf there are 2 boxes and in the second box there it will be! Yes, they've made comments about the age of some of my tools (they were my father's from the 1960's) and I just laugh and say, if you think they're too old, why do you still use them too?! If I ever "organized" my shop according to the average person, I'd never find my stuff!

Three things: 1) Thanks for telling how to clean the epoxy from the syringe and how to clean and reuse the foam brushes.

Replace just the damaged area with new veneer? Putty/filler the damaged area and then try to colour match? Something else? 3) Did you do anything off camera to repair the ends (gaps, and previous putty repair) before varnishing? I love your channel and look forward to every new video.

Thanks Jean! Yes, and if you search on-line you will see a lot of this Acclaim series

I love the contrast between the 2 different woods though the style kind of reminds me of the 60's and the furniture ppl had everywhere in Germany at that time. I wasn't crazy about the style then and not crazy about the style now. Growing up with furniture from the early 1900's and what my grandfather purchased is more my style. More elaborate more decorative (but also more difficult to dust LOL all those carvings we did with a soft make up brush to make sure all the dust is gone). Though what I like about this table is the fact they used 2 contrasting woods to make it stand out and take a simple style and make it more eye popping. It really looks great after you got done with it.

Wow, real silky, beautiful finish that is holding up fine after many months. Replaced the plastic door/draw pulls with black metal pulls and backing plates. They seem to better protect the wood from finger marks. The cabinets are 20 years old, and with this annual treatment they should look good as new for another 20.
