3 different grade sandpapers used to remove rust and some rust preventer applied, will repeat the process tomorrow so it’s done as well as I can. One leg is banged up tho. Then will apply some clear varnish.
Finish cleaning the glass and the rest of the wood , I think it was stored in a garage and the soot and oil is hard to remove. I’ve unpacked the glass shelves and cleaning them up too.
I’ve started sorting my shell collection ready to put on display. Big shells on the bottom and smaller up high. If there is room I’ll put some mineral specimens in too.
And for the chairs, so many pieces of velvet and tapestry have been measured and cut ready to be made into matching scatter cushions. 🙂
I am now working on the metal ferrules of the cabinet legs. They were so rusty. Work on the big chairs continues.
TIL the word ferrules!
when you are old you know lots of words
