I had a storage chest and small side table in need of some restoration (years paint and varnish removing). Andy did a fabulous job, am thrilled with my two "new" bits of furniture. Great value and service. Thank you Andy.
Following a Hogmanay party I was left with 2 nasty heat marks on my oak table. Half an hour under Andy's magic touch, they were gone! Can't thank you enough Andy!
Had some draws done by Andy brilliant job love them highly recommend him anything else I need done it will be Andy doing it.
Something a bit smaller to work on today, a old office swivel desk chair. These chairs are always worth restoring as they are such good quality, the mechanism is made from good steel and not plastic or alloy like modern ones which means they last for ever but the timber joints do become loose after.
My knees are feeling a bit jaded after another site job, the refurbishment of a Victorian oak staircase which was covered in a dark varnish and generally grubby now stripped back, lightened in colour and refinished The staircase is in the Old Vicarage in Barrow on Solway which is now the soon to.
This is a great piece I stripped for the workshop next door to mine a orginal Coalbrookdale cast iron garden bench, worth a pretty penny and at the price these things go for I'd have it in the living room.
