Found one close that somebody 'repurposed'. I couldn't ever do that, but it was in pretty bad shape: http://createinspireme.blogspot.com/2013/06/radio-cabinet-revamp.html They mentioned it was a r...
I hate iphones.... can't get the pictures upright even after moving them to my laptop (look good on laptop). I will probably restore this at some point, but in the mean time I think we'll use it as...
auntiquerose: we've found a good amount of really nice antiques that need to be refinished, and some that were actually in good shape on CL, but you are correct... there's a whole lot of crap out the...
The battery operated toothbrush is a good idea :) somehow this one toothbrush has lasted through several projects. I spent hours on the dining room table with it.
Thanks for the acetone info. I try to limit the amount of exposure to delicate wood by dipping a toothbrush in it and cleaning a small area then immediately wiping it dry. I've had problems with strip...
Bruce, all I can say is D'oh! I should be able to flip them around without too much problem. Thanks for pointing that out :)

Yeah... the previous owner picked it up and had some repairs done. The work was done well, but definitely not period correct.
Been doing a ton of research.... appears to be an American Empire style desk from the early 1800s. I would lover to get the original style of drawer pulls back on it. Haven't pulled one of the repl...
I uploaded a bunch more pics to my photobucket account. Couldn't figure out how to import them here... http://s292.photobucket.com/albums/mm9/gforce1108/dresser/
I took additional pictures and will post them shortly. The nails were securing the top the base. There was gobs of paint in that joint and the easiest way to prep it was to remove the top. I will reus...
