This piece had veneer damage EVERYWHERE. I had to pull out three different veneer repair methods to tackle them all appropriately: 1) Replacing a part of the veneer with a new cut of veneer, 2) Patching the damage with wood epoxy then masking it using stain, and 3) Removing the veneer completely and just embracing the wood layer underneath.
But the most rewarding part of this restoration was figuring out how to get the light working again. The light fixture inside the middle door was missing the bulb, and the furniture being a retro piece from 1955, it used a type of bulb that is very difficult to find today. Unable to find a replacement bulb, I went and bought a new LED light bar. I then did some rewiring to enable the use of the existing push button that acts as an automatic activator for the light when the door is opened. Even though the circuit is a very simple one, I still felt like Tony Stark when I got it working.
If you enjoyed this restoration, please do me a favor and like the video! :)
