Wife found an old shoe shine box. My job, "fix it up"
I now have it totally unglued and taken apart.
Now to fully sand it and clean the glue from the box joints.
This should be "fun"

Careful- if you do too good of a job she will keep bringing you treasures to restore.
on the other hand, if you really do a bad job, she will no longer support your tool and supply habit.
Chose wisely...

Just do a good job, to your standards. Some of my repairs wind up a different color, with different joinery, and no trace of the original materials.

I have begun the regluing. Cleaned the box joints with a small square file. Worked pretty well.

Do you have any working pictures going?
As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification. Thank You Everyone.
It is always the right time, to do the right thing.

Gorilla glue has a clear non-foaming glue out now.
Used it on a chair re-do, no need to have perfectly clean joints.
Makes it easier.....
