The Sewing Machine is the second(2nd) of six pieces of furniture for this customer. This cabinet was a 1940(late) to 1950s. The biggest problen with this period of furniture(commercial) is the thinner veneer can be sanded through easily. Also another problem with all of these pieces of furniture was warpping due to the customer storing them in a garage with concrete floors. People usually are unaware that lots of moisture migrates from the ground through the floor and the body of the furniture captures the moisture like a parachute effect. Then it lingers there warpping, causing veneer to separate and worse case rotting sets in. This piece had all these problems and a few more. It is extreemly difficult to predict your degree of difficulty. I gave a two-third(2/3) price reduction thinking there was very little repair and the finishes were original, but, this piece had a chop shop(negitive) finish added to cove the flaws. Once stripped they were revealled. This caused me to spend three(3) weeks stripping instead of two(2) days.I lost my shirt on this piece of furniture. Its true you learn something new every day your alive and it never ends.The complete blow by blow refinishing job will be added to my DIY(do-it-yourself) site at http://diyamooreartandantiques.com/ and my online store at http://amooreartandantiques.com/ .
