Hi, I joined this group hoping that some of you would take the time to give me some advice on my project. I have a large wardrobe/chiffrobe cabinet that is...
Hello Ruth and WELCOME to the group! Sounds like you've already begun to have some fun! I remember as a younger, my father would use Formby's in the garage...
Hiya Rob- I looked everyone and couldn't find your photo album. I saw that you uploaded some photos, where are they? Straw, grass, or horsehair! -Matthew...
No I am pretty good at refinishing. I was just wondering if anyone knew what these pieces were. ... From: maceydesign To: AntiqueRestoration@yahoogroups.com ...
They are up there. I just looked. I dont have a clue whos pics are up there with them. It says camping furniture. Coreus. I made my own album and that is...
Hi Matthew, and thanks for taking the time to give me some insight !!! The piece is uniform in color and is now a warm, golden brown hue. Luckily this cabinet...
Ruth- Sounds like you've done well for your 'first' project. Formby's product really made it easy for the comsumer to do it themselves and get striking...
Hi all...I added a few pictures of my wardrobe cabinet project. And wow after looking at the pictures...as opposed to actually looking at the cabinet...I see...
Matthew, Thanks again for all of your help. I read your reply a couple of times. And I think I just don't know enough about this subject to be really clear on...
I'm trying to find a picture and some info on the above pieces. My wife inherited a set, one chair is broken and I want to try and fix it. Also the table had...
I dont know how that happened. When you start your profile when you first join it has an are for you to post pics and I did and labeled them. Then I went in to...
Hi Rob- Saw your photos. The first looks to be a sewing stand. Second, looks almost made my marriage- end table with magazine ends. Could see the chair much,...
Ruth- After looking at the photos, looks like there is finish residue on the sides what I could tell in the reflection, and a tad bid darker. A once over with...
Matthew, That is great. I will go over the cabinet again with the Formby's and then move it to my husbands shop. I am in Texas so if I time the whole event...
Hi Matt!!! That first one actually has two holders on it. One at each end and they look like pipe holders. I spoke to one lady and she pulled up a pic from one...
The stuffing material from the chair you refer to is probably and old upholstery padding material called excelsior which is litterally shredded wood...
Hello all Just a fast post to say hi to all here. I look forward to learning about restoration. I know nothing about it, not one thing.I have never had the...
... Welcome to the group when you get going on your trunk let us know if you hit any snags. Some months ago I posted a link to a source for antique trunk...
A recent article in a popular woodworking magazine prompted me to copy and paste (a previous article) that some years back I read and scanned and made copies...
Thanks Matt, I did not know this. Have always laid rags out, but you never know, and now I will be much more careful. A question I have had is: I have a large...
... and now I will be much more careful. A question I have had is: I have a large dust vacuum and a wood pellet stove in the same room. I have not been using...

Greetings to All and thanks for letting me in! I am working a piano built in 1896 that someone had painted a salmon color (no clue on that one - must have been...
... Welcome to the Group! Unfortunate as that is to have a painted piano, and especially that since it had been painted majority of the time it lends itself to...
... THANKS! Not only for the expert advice, but the quick turn on the response! I was hoping that I would not have to "pick" then entire piano. I guess...
Howdy, Digging holes in a piano with a metal pick is NOT the way to remove paint. The chemical should do the work if you give it time and apply the right...
... Hard to tell exactly what stain was used, but consider the era and the manufacturer to see other models and styles and various woods they used to find a...
