Done! Hardest part of the restore was shaving down some of the drawers to account for the frame warping over time. Everything slides really well! Now to figure out how to best put this to use. 🤔

Working on restoring a Meiji era Suzuribaku (calligrapher/writer's box) for my watercolor/sumi supplies. The lock and drawers work surprisingly well for something that's 100+ years old!

It's been about 3 years since I worked on these, but since I picked up watchmaking in the interim, doing a tune up on the shutters has gotten easier.

Procrastinating on one hobby by working on another hobby. The film photogaphy bug has bitten and I've taken to tuning up my collection. #filmphotography #hobbies #antiqueRestoration
A high-value Spode porcelain ice pail, circa 1820, featuring three pieces: an exterior vessel, an inserted bucket, and a lid.

Working on my #Connections2025 presentation about six Irish sisters and considering this washstand for inclusion. It belonged to my great-grandaunt, passed to her grandson, then to me. Needs restoring—tiles are stunning! Should I keep the timber dark? #heirloom #antiquerestoration #familyhistory
My 95 year old friend gave me this lamp base and I am almost done restoring it. I had an antique Moroccan beaded shade that looks perfect on it!

Restored 63 year old SMP brand 1961 Plymouth Valiant V-200 model car in 1/25 scale. A labor of love for an ugly duckling on wheels; yes, but I love it just the same.
