I paid a bit more than I usually would for a machine, but in the end I think you'll agree it was worth it.

Here it is after i get home from picking it up.



BTW that bonnet is not that color naturally, it is PAINTED that color.... Same with the irons, matching paint.


oh, and the drawers...


even inside.

and then there is the top...


the "hinge plate"


the lock plate...

Steve,

You've got your work cut out for you on that cabinet! You didn't show the machine!

Jeanette

SteveH

oh I didn't forget... muhaha

Oh oh, I made a clean spot.... Here begins the obsessive compulsive disorder



and one on the bonnet lid...


and then the drawer

So here is the treadle after my DD and I both kicked in our OCD for about 7 hours straight.

We'll let this settle in for a bit before I show you the machine that MADE us do this....
(the machine needed NOTHING but a dusting... I would not dare to do more to it anyway)

EDIT: This was yesterday, today the irons are apart being stripped and the drawer boxes and drawers are being "un chic'd"

Wow! Great job. Who would have thought underneath all that paint would be such a beauty?

wilburness

good eye steve! I am anxious to see what is under that lid...

Tartan

Well that cabinet sure is beautiful now! I can't wait to see the machine!

I"m pretty amazed - what are you using to remove the paint?

Wow, SteveH. You have uncovered a queen or a King.ha. Gorgeous wood! What kind of wood is this? Cherry or Walnut? You and your Daughter do a wonderful job cleaning them up. I can't imagine the work. Can't wait to see the machine. Barny
