Took the day off from working at my daughters apartment as she needs furniture to fill it and started this chest for one of the bedrooms....fully abused but starting to look good again, the draw handles are gross so they will be wood again by time i am done with it.

Well my wife pulled a blinder, her area manager has a friend that furnishes London apartments and he heard of the table/chairs my wife was working on, i come home today and it is gone, she got £1000 for the table and six chairs and she only had a couple of days labor in it making it look good,she even got the bloody thing for free.materials were just left overs, the guy says he wants any further projects we do emailed to him asap as he can't get good restored stuff quick enough,he made the offer and paid cash...i like cash....we only thought it would be worth £300 max.

Sad thing is she never took pictures of the finished item, i may let her take over this sideline business:yum::yum::yum:

Very nice. I always loved the look of natural wood. I did an old cedar chest years ago. Stripped down roughly 10 layers of paint. Sanded and varnished it.

Seeing that cupbard door in the background brings back memories. I bought my grandfathers house off him when I was 18. Rented it out for a year while I was in college then moved into it when I had just turned 20. The kitchen cabinets were a nice oak but had a dark walnut finish on them. I painstackingly removed all the doors, sanded them down removing all the stain then refinished them in a nice honey oak colour. It made a world of difference and really brightened up the place.

Very nice. How much for a custom built cabinet with countertop 60 inches wide? I want one for the outdoor kitchen at camp. Though I imagine shipping would be a little crazy.

Second a toy box as I have to use off cuts some where

Man. that's looking good. At one time in my life I used to love doing restoration work. Even thought of making it a business but a regular paycheck was more enticing. :wink:
