I have my parents first refrigerator that looks almost exactly like this one. I am needing to replace the door gasket and the door handle. Can you help me find these parts? I have been trying to find these without luck. Thank you!
Unfortunately it involved some long hard searching on eBay. Our production head said they got lucky and found everything they needed there. I wish there were a more specific place to tell you!
What type of twine is used to make the repairs on that particular style of wicker?
Oh my. Beautiful.
Thank you! 😊
Thank you Hogarth, you're a good boy
Go for it Hogarth💯😇✨️🥳💖
Todo un arte
Oh yeah 👌 😍 💯
I had that same sofa in the 80s it was covered in plastic for fifty years. took the plastic off it looked new as as what you showed in your video
That is awesome!! And those plastic covers really did help keep our pieces looking really nice!!
What a handsome young man
What a beauty.
My mother had something similar but not so fancy ha ha
Excellent 1800 style
You should have shown the actual repair!
Thank you for the gorgeous work you accomplished on my family heirloom. It looks amazing after the restore and refinish. This piece was handed down through my family starting with Major John Davidson and his wife Violet , their daughter Jane Davidson Alexander, to her daughter Margaret Alexander Henderson. This piece has been passed between Henderson ladies since then. We are so happy to have this piece restored and to feel the history of our revolutionary ancestors in a piece that survived for 200 years or so. These families lived in Mecklenburg County NC near Rural Hills Farm in Huntersville NC.
Thank you so much for the beautiful work you did on my family heirloom. It looks absolutely gorgeous. This is from the family of Major John Davidson and his wife Violet, their daughter Jane Davidson Alexander and then down to Margaret Alexander Henderson. It has been passed between Henderson ladies since then. These families lived in Mecklenburg County NC during the revolutionary war. Major John Davidson was a revolutionary. The piece would have been part of the furniture of the farm at Rural Hills in Huntersville NC. Rural Hills is where the Loch Norman Highland Games are held.
G o r g i o u s !
Found one of these type, the cabinet looks like either the termites or carpenter ants found the wood very interesting or someone refinished it with tree bark. Nothing was spared from damage.
Oh no! That's awful!!
Wow
An awesomely beautiful piece!
WOW. Glad I found you! I am restoring a bit older Grafonola than your version which my mother's grandparents acquired early 1900's (1915). Had a couple questions and will send them through your website. Best Craig Davis Wichita KS
Would love to see the process you went through to fix that.
have you ever seen griffon or lion head furniture eastlake ?
It's very possible! There are so many Eastlake designs, and we've been lucky enough to see so many - may have to keep a photo database of them all just to keep track! 😊
Beautiful piece NC😊✝️☮️🌍✌️
Good afternoon, I'm a piano repair person in San Antonio, TX. Thanks for your video. I've been having some trouble with Konig polyester. What kind of poly are you using in the video? I'm tired of this BPO paste method.
Hi there! We use the Konig poly kit too normally, but this top belonged to a Steinway so we had to get this material directly from them. It's been a while since we did this and I wish we still had the bottles!
Ok. Thanks!
Donde puedo conseguir la manija de la puerta,tengo 1 crosley shelvador
Quizás quieras probar un sitio web de subastas, como Ebay. O en una comunidad Crosley en línea, alguien puede tener piezas o piezas que no necesita. Incluso puedes comunicarte con personas que hayan comentado previamente este video, parece que hay una persona que tiene uno, ¡puede que sea justo lo que necesitas!
Thank you
Molto inderessante
If you know anyone looking for one of those in CT let me know I have a working one that needs a few shelves. Have a montgomery ward too. Wife wants me to sell them off because we have small kids...
Did you ever publish an "after" video of this music box? It turned out so beautifully.
I'm actually working on it right now! Should be up very soon!
Good job 👍.
Absolutely beautiful restoration! If I’m not mistaken, is that a clear satin finish ?
It is indeed! We didn't want to make it super shiny but wanted to add some life to the grain, so satin was the perfect solution.
Just found this video. I have a French game table similar were the top seems to rotate. The hardware is missing but it has invisible SOSS hardware on the ends that keeps both leaf of the table together. What's the name of the rotating hinges that I can use for my table. Also it seems that the clear finish is Polyester resin that is cracked all over. How can this be repair or removed without damaging the beautiful inlay detail of this French game table. I am trying to see if you have a second video repairing this game table. Great video, thanks.
@@carmencolon3520 Hello! We've worked on a few of these style of game tables over the years and usually the rotating part is made up of a dowel or metal pin set in the underside of the table top that allows it to rotate around. But the hinge we use when you open the table top to its full size, is an invisible hinge. As far as the poly resin finish, our master craftsman said really the only thing you can do is chip or scrap it very carefully and slowly. Sadly there isn't a stripper that will do much to a poly based resin.
I have a chair identical to that one I almost never got it moved after I bought it. How do you remove the seat like you did? I’d like to do that to make it alot easier to move into my shop. Does the seat padding just lift right up? Thanks. Like your work
Hello!! I checked with a few of our craftsmen since it's been some time since we worked on this one. Seems to be it had something to do with taking the arms off. I know that doesn't give a lot of detail, but I'd look at the arms and start there.
It is my thought that this beautiful fixture would og hax a glass glode in the center.
It truly looks like it could, but as far as we know it never did. Simply all brass, and so big!

Question for you. Have you ever worked on a similar roll top that used metal linkage instead of a canvas? I'm trying to repair one.
We haven't, that does sound like a challenge though!
Lovely, I'm trying to restore the brass knobs or finals on one in the UK but cannot find a "how to" remove the dents. I don't suppose you give away trade secrets?
Hey there! The best way is to hammer them out. Our specialist was able to use a rounded hammer to very slowly work out the dents from the inside. I think he also heat the piece to help smooth out the metal. It was a long process, but worth it! Good luck with your project!!
I have an old brass bed from around the same time, with major damage. Do you refurbish these old beds, like take them all apart, clean the parts and then sauter or weld them back together? Also, how much do you charge for a complete job, of refurbishing an old brass bed. My bed was my fathers and was likely built in the late 1880s, as well.
Hi there! We certainly can do all that, each bed is different and needs different things, so no two brass bed restorations are the same. And we've worked on many brass beds over the years, we've seen quite a lot of different types of damage and wear. Please feel free to give us a call (919-510-6310) and one of our Restoration Consultants can chat with you about what you need and then give you that estimate. You can also send any photos of the bed directly to us by emailing [email protected] and our consultants can reach back out to you! Just be sure to include a phone number so they can call you back!
@@mumfordrestoration Wonderful. I will do that. Thank you so much.
It was a lovely surprise to see this video, because I am the happy customer for whom you repaired this beautiful desk. I couldn't be more pleased with the Mumford's team work. The desk is on prominent display in our home right now. Thank you again!
That is wonderful!! We are so glad we could help with such a beautiful desk, it's still a favorite piece of ours that we have worked on. Thank you so much for allowing us to be part of its journey and trusting us, it was an absolute pleasure!
Y que el año de fabricación?
Nos dijeron que era de los años 20 o 30, pero podría ser mucho más tarde.
Que modelo es?
No estoy seguro, pero es muy similar a sus primeros sillones de salón. No pudimos averiguar cuándo trabajamos en el proyecto.
Would have liked to have seen a before pic
Thank you for watching!! The before photos are the very first photos you see of the piece. The wood was in pretty good shape to begin with, it was the finish we really focused on. It can be hard to show variations in the finish in photos, sorry about that! But we took this one from a more high gloss sheen to a more accurate satin sheen.
The Mahogony was a thin veneer that covered the outside of furniture. He was known for utilizing very thin pieces .
His African Heritage is what made his Furniture so ornate . Not like the Square pieces most commonly used Day had a S curviture in most of his work. Notice the Edges of his Chest of Drawers, they never are pointed or at a 90 deg angle.
He certainly did! That was his specialty! And the pieces he chose were just so beautiful, with such gorgeous patterns. And the S curves in his work are a true trademark. He utilized that design not only in furniture but the cabinetry and millwork he designed for homes.
@@mumfordrestoration the S curves are Sanofka symbol from Ghana :)
That's a very practical skillset. Loved her story too.
😲😮😍🤩💖👍‼️
I have an original 1970’s Lee West Egg Chair in near mint condition. I absolutely love it and one of these days I’ll hook up the built in speakers! Great work on your chair!!
