Reseña del editor:

This vintage volume contains a comprehensive guide to repairing and refinishing furniture, with information on tools and equipment, materials, enamelling, workshop practice, and many other related aspects. With simple directions and a wealth of useful tips, this handbook is ideal for those with little previous experience, and would make for a fantastic addition to collections of related literature. Contents include: “Restoration”, “Repairs”, “Removing Old Finish”, “Preparing for New Finish”, “Refinishing”, “Reviving Old Finishes”, “Enamelling and ‘Nude’ Furniture Finishes”, “More About Materials”, “Tools for the Beginner”, “More Hand Tools”, “Sharpening and Care of Tools”, “Care and Storage of Paints and Brushes”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on wood finishing.

Reseña del editor:

This early manual is a fascinating read for any carpentry enthusiast or historian, but contains much information that is still useful and practical today. The primary aim is to furnish workers with information and practical suggestions, regarding the repair and refinishing of Antique and all other types of furniture. It is written in a form which is easy to read and understand, and it is intended to be used as a manual during the work. A comprehensive and informative look at the subject illustrated by extensive diagrams and photographs. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
