Let’s fix it up.
It all begins with an idea.
Maybe you’d like to fix up that Hoosier cabinet that’s been stored for years after the kid’s chemistry set ruined the tin top.
Something more - all the hardware is missing.
Pitch it or restore it?
Alternatives can make all the difference.
Step one: Selecting the hardware. The owner chose polished nickel Ice Box latches and related polished nickel hinges
Nickel pulls were chosen for the drawers
Cherry was chosen to replace the damaged Tin clad pull-out work surface
Marine spar varnish coats the work surface
Matching cherry cutting board was built for the factory provided cutting board slot
Lower drawer made of period galvanized sheet metal was damaged beyond use. Poplar wood was selected to recreate the drawer using dovetail connection a drawer corners. Better than original.
Gluing process - clamps secure joints, the diagonal clamp ensures square
Restored functionality
Clearly, the interior needs work
Shelf interior is assessed for necessary repairs
Primer first
Priming is completed
the Owners chose a soft yellow cabinet paint as the finished surface
The exterior receives a good cleaning and touch up to the finish.
A single coat of dewaxed shellac finishes the exterior; the hardware was removed, surfaces coated and everything was reassembled
