Would love to see the dolls House progress
I'm trying to figure out how bast to include it - either add a piece at the end of each video or specific videos, maybe on a new channel?
Spider Cooties! Yucky! Nice Restoration! It's Much Warmer Now and the Details are Beautiful! Although, I Only have a Vague Recollection of what a Magazine is!😏😊 Yes, Please! I Would Love to See the Dollhouse Renovation. I Hope You've been Taping the Work You've done so far or some Narration. I Do Enjoy Your Voice!
I took some photos but no video of the work on the house so far, maybe I need to recreate some of the highlights on video 😀
Ah, to live in an era when there is proper storage for everything
Very true!
The Dolls House looks very interesting and I'd like to see more later. The restoration of the Side Table was good but I was surprised you left the webbing untouched. 9/10 LOL
Thanks, it was fairly brittle so I thought it best to leave it alone!
The table is beautiful, and yes, please post more videos on your doll house restoration.
Thank you! Will do!
I really liked the restoration. We can even see some of the decorations on it now. Well done. Thank you for the glimpses of the Dolls House. Definitely would like to see more. Does it have a name? I believe a house with character should have a name.
Thanks. The house doesn't have a name yet, maybe we should run a competition?! 😃
@@RhooseRestorations Could be an idea after you have done a few episodes on it. Let people get a feel for what and where you are going with it, so the name choices are appropriate. The House of Goth may not suit a modern 1930s Art Deco home, but might not be as bad if the grandparents Victorian furniture was in use throughout. 😉😜
Very nice. And the dollhouse is amazing. Please show more of it. 😍
I'm working on a plan for showing it.
The table turned out lovely… I would love to see a video or three dedicated only to the doll house. And finally Thank You for not showing any spiders… I really appreciated that.
You are so welcome!
Gorgeous little doll's house. Looking forward to seeing it as you bring it back to life.
Fingers crossed!
Yes, I'd love to see a doll house restoration!!
Thanks
Yes please love dolls houses
I'll give it a try!
TIL a purdonium is a fancy way to spell "coal scuttle"
It's a coal scuttle for the working classes, but a purdonium if you have aspirations 😀
Yes more doll house! 😁
OK, I'll see what I can do!
I would love to see the doll house being restored. 😊
Maybe I can tack a bit on the dolls house on the end of each video and then stitch them all together at the end to make a full video
Lovely piece after all the icky spiders webs were removed 😂 that would not have made it into my house with those things on it even tho I am no longer scared of spiders 😂😂 (that phobia took years and kids to get over 😂). I would love to see the Dolls House 😁
I had to do the hoovering as soon as I got it home, under strict instructions from my wife!
@@RhooseRestorations 🤣🤣🤣 yep I can understand her insisting on that
Lovely restoration and yes please to the dolls’ house 😊
Will do!!
Nice piece. Is spirit stain the same thing as alcohol-based dye?
Yes, I believe it is
Doll's house!
Thanks for the feedback
Please more doll house.
Will do!
Yes I want to see the doll house
OK, thanks
It was a lovely restoration, yes please, more dollhouse, watching from Seattle USA.
I'll try to keep you informed
The dollhouse got my interest the first time I spotted it - it’s a beaut + yes def would like to see your progress as in the process of re-building one for my granddaughter 😃👍🏻
Thanks, I'll add updates at the end of some videos
Yes to the dolls house please
No problem
Great restoration. Keep going!
That's the plan!
Yes please more dollhouse. Thank you for sharing😊
You got it!
Of course, I’d like to see your progress in your doll house. Congratulations from Madrid, Spain
Thank you! Will do!
More dollhouse please😊
OK - I need to get back to it!
Looks very nice.
Thank you very much!
Lovely restoration!!! Yes, love the dollhouse & I'd like to see your progress. 🥰
Thank you! Will do!
I know that piece as a Canterbury, which is to say a fancy magazine rack. Not all of them have a table top above the magazine rack -- some of them were used as serving tables, others were not. Yours turned out to be quite lovely!
Thanks for the info!
A lovely piece, and yes please, more of the dolls house
Thanks - I'll have to start working on it again!
Beautiful restoration,
Thanks!
I'd hate to see the location this piece came out of. 🕷🕸
I had to shoot the spider web footage as soon as I bought it home, my wife wouldn't have it in the house otherwise!!
I knew there was a reason I subscribed. These restorations of historic pieces of furniture. And yes! More of the dollhouse! Edit; I absolutely love the detail that went into this dollhouse! And definitely want to see more.
Awesome! Thank you!
Yes. Let's have more of the dolls house!
Thanks - I'll certainly do that!
Love the dollhouse!
Thank you!
My mother had bins like this built into a cabinet with a top for sorting laundry. Very cool piece.
Sounds great!
what ever your previous experience with wood staining was, I can match it…with food colouring. Took me a fortnight to get it to fade even with so much washing that my skin was suffering. But I accidentally came across a fix (though wearing gloves is the best) After a couple of good washes, cover the areas of the stain on the skin with a cheap water based PVA glue. Let it dry and the rub hands together to start lifting the glue. As the glue peels off it takes the deep stain with it. A warm soapy wash to remove the last of the glue and job done.
Thanks for the tip! There is nothing worse than finding that you had a hole in your glove and your fingers are stained too - like smokers back in the day before filter tips!!
What a little gem. Thank you for sharing your meticulous restoration
My pleasure!
I thought it was for potatoes!
.........so long as you don't mind a bit of coal dust with them!!
The wood grain you revealed is gorgeous.
Thank you - it's amazing what gets hidden under dark varnish!
would make a unique trash binfor ur office
I guess it would!
The ray-flecking in the medullary rays of that quarter-sawn oak is spectacular, All of the grain detail is superb. I had never even heard of a Purdonium, and now you have shown me an impressive example. And £5.00! Excellent work, and attention to detail.
It certainly was, thanks 👍
Boxes like that were also used for storing flour.
Thanks for letting me know
My Grandfather (as well as several of his sons) were also Coal Miners - In Springhill, Nova Scotia, Canada. Grandad eventually succumbed to Black Lung.... in 1936. His sons mostly joined the Military in WW2, and stayed out of the mines afterwards. Very interesting and cool piece of Furniture!
Both my wife and I had grandfathers in the coal mines but the mines are now a thing of the past in the UK.
It's a pretty and useful piece Art Deco era?
I'd have said Edwardian rather than Art Deco but as the two eras were so close who knows? 😀
You can get latex masking fluid for Airfix type kits as well, the main difference to the watercolour version seems to be it’s often purple so you can see where you’ve painted it on. It works with acrylic, enamel and lacquer paints, so would also work with your finishes should anyone have trouble getting the watercolour version.
Thanks for the information 😃
You should'a stained it
Always a Pleasure to Watch You Work! First Time I've Heard the Word Perished When Talking About Worn Glue! Charles Dickens Would be Smiling!😊😉😋
Thank you! Cheers! To be fair I'm nearly old enough to have met him!!
Your cunning plan paid off, looks lovely!
Thanks, now and again I have a good idea!! 😄
