I am speaking from the voice of experience. My mother has always been a trashpicker, embarassing the daylights out her kids when she would pull over to the side of the road, jump out and throw and old rocking chair missing several pieces in the back of the station wagon. My father, who took furniture building in high school would cut out new rockers or turn new spindles and put it all back together and they would sell the pieces. My mother is 84 and still gets sad when she sees something by the side of the road, my dad no longer around fix it up. He had his own room in the basement of the garage, probably bigger than your entire apartment! It very addictive, choose your projects wisely. Thanks for the blog, it makes my day everyday. Happy New Year.<br />SewgrannyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-32784624166790189242012-01-01T20:11:31.729-05:002012-01-01T20:11:31.729-05:00Peter, what a find! ...and you did a beautiful jo...Peter, what a find! ...and you did a beautiful job refinishing it!
