Small Table Restoration

[mahking51]

Hi All,
Just rescued a nice but very beaten up small occasional table with a drop top from the local auction.Top was broken into three pieces with one missing but luckily I looked in the drawer of the next lot and there it was, some people!

All sorts of problems to sort out, hopefully Colin C and others will be alowith thoughts soon.

For now I have made the first repair to the top by placing the two parts reversed against each other and taken two fine swipes to clean them up with the LN block, looks like it will knit OK.
Here are some other shots of the damaged areas:

Oh Yeah, also my luuuuverly 806!

Will post again as it goes along.
Cheers,
Martin

Martin,
Where did you get that fancy black tape for the repair on the leg? All I can find is silver duct tape

That is the most feeble attempt to perpetrate a drive-by gloat ever seen on this forum. :roll: :lol: But at least you've found a use for it. :wink:

Cheers, Alf

Agreed, Alf....the new shiney toy :tool: has been noted, not even any dings on the paintwork yet :lol: - Rob

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Chris,
Good of you to notice the one leg I have already repaired! Bodes well for the rest of the job don't you think? :roll:
Alf,Waka,Rob,
Its not fair to all gang up on me!
You know its not like me to make a big thing of a new toy, :^o
I just don't happen to have a work/assembly table so had to make do!
Cheers all,
Martin

By the way that is a nice table, just as you know it has seen much better days

Bravo, Martin!
An example of how useful an Xcaliber can be :lol:
Looks like you got it sorted. And the table looks nice, too :wink:

Nice gloat Martin, not everyone has a large chest freezer in their workshop.

 

[mahking51]

SP,
That sodding freezer is the bane of my life, been the cause of more domestics than i can tell you!

The deal was that I would ALWAYS leave the top clear for the War Office to have access to.

Naturally I have done so... :^o :^o :^o :^o

Cheers,
Martin
