As before it's has a lot of flaws and will require 18-20 hrs. **side note**
Jarrod and I have been training our 3 guys to do extraordinary work. Each with strong attributes in the field of restoration. Tony unbelievable repair insights. Hector , stripping & sanding and Victor is becoming a 1st rate sprayman. He's picking up color matching fast. The shop is turning out the kind of work I have devoted my life to. My biggest hope is that I will be able to leave Jarrod this shop to carry on and make a good living.
 
New marketry has been made to match. Legs stabilized and damaged wood removed. The base connections were all rotten and new wood needed to be cut to fit.
We removed the angle iron on the underside which was embedded and covered with wood puddy.

Hi Dave,

Looks like a fun project. No, seriously, this looks like fun! I tend to keep my repairs fairly low key (drawer repair, spindle replacement, etc..), but this I would really enjoy!

Looks like things are going well. And it's always great to have employees that you can trust to deliver the necessary level of quality. Keep up the good work (you and any others involved. :D )

Can't wait to see more. Thanks for sharing!
