This title presents professional techniques to bring your furniture
back to life. It offers complete instructions for dismantling and
rebuilding chests, polishing, waxing and staining, how to repair
tops and feet, and how to rebuild drawers and doors. It includes a
fascinating history describing how chests and cabinets have evolved
over time, as well as advice on buying and using tools, equipment
and materials. Projects include repairing a split top, replacing a
bracket foot, repairing a glazed door, correcting a minor twist,

and desks, all photographed at a leading antique restoration
workshop. Projects include replacing drawer runners, cutting a
dovetail joint, repairing a sliding tambour, refitting a door, and

each piece of furniture is constructed, and how it can be
dismantled and reassembled. Illustrated with over 400 beautiful
photographs, the book will enable any restorer to learn how to mend
antique furniture.
