Tom, you do great work! Thanks for sharing,

Awesome job.

Where do you buy your acid at, I live in N.C. and can't seem to find it anywhere,

I agree it looks pretty good.

Hi Tom. Great Restore. Real neat looking chest. The gray spot really came out. We have been doing a lot chest restorations lately. There fun to do. Hows everything ? I have been a little AWOL here on youtube. Just got a new shop in november, so dealing with that move and with all the work is hard to keep up with my favorite youtubers. Hopefully I will get some videos up soon. Have a lot of projects to share.

Thanks, Michael Frey

Very nice with some videos popping up from you again, as always very inspiring. Keep posting your good work for us to enjoy.

Very nice work, Thanks

Another great video Tom. Can't tell you how much I have learned from you. Thanks.

Nice job on the chest, to bad it was stripped at some point. I imagine by that fancy B, in the center of the front, the original painted finish could have been impressive. Of course the paint could have also been so damaged over time that it couldn't practically been saved or be presentable. Thanks for the video.

A++++

Mr. Johnson,

It is with some concern, that i have noticed, how you work with epoxy in your videos.
Epoxy is carcinogenic and mutagenic, causing a wide range of deceases and ailments.
In my home country of Denmark, a specific course in safety must be taken, and a licence to prove it, must be carried at all times during the work.
Special gloves must be worn along with skin-,eye- and respiratoryprotection.
And empty containers, left over epoxy and garbage must be disposed of at a government licenced disposal facility.
Failing to do any of the before mentioned, carries heavy fines. (In Denmark, of course).

Otherwise wonderful work and videos!

Please excuse any grammatical errors, or impoliteness, as English is not my native language.

Sincerely

Hey Tom, that really worked well. Sanding and then apply the acid. Just to mention, I'm always in awe when I look at an old piece like that. Especially if it has really wide boards in it. Given the age you gave the chest , and the width of the boards, that wood could be, maybe, 400 years old. Oh and that hardware was awesome. Great video, please keep shareing , I'm getting to see stuff I probably, would never see. Thanks.
