Video: Mayfield Restorations, YouTube
David runs Mayfield Restorations from a home workshop in the North West of England, sourcing vintage pieces and giving them a working life again; he is self-taught and shares the process as he learns it.
In this hour-long film he takes on another 200-year-old oak corner cabinet, which turned out to be in far worse condition than it first appeared, and works through the damage and repairs to the finished piece. A long watch, and a candid one about what a period carcase can hide.
Each issue this slot carries one video from a working maker showing a technique, a tool or a repair. The video is the maker's own and plays from their channel; we add the context. Send yours to editor@thefurnituremagazine.com.
