    One last thing I need to fix is the rolled aluminium inset around the table.

    I really don't want to replace it with the same and am looking for ideas on alternatives.

    The only thing I can think of that would be suitable would be cane.

    Default Table restoration

    Thanks Gerard,

    I look forward to seeing yours before and after.

    Cheers,
    Bill
    G'day Bill.

    I've taken some photos - I'll figure out how to post them when I get a spare moment. There'll be a while between the before and after photos appearing.

    Regards

    Gerard

    The upload on this site is very easy to use. I would recommend using something like Adobe Photoshop to set the image size to 800x600 and then save as JPEG with the size ~100KB.

    Let me know when you start your thread!

    A bit off-topic, I found an old oval mirror in my garage (long story) and think it might look good on a sideboard I have that the top is missing from.

    Oh some one said corrugated fasteners were obsolete, not so I bought a pack at the local hardware store. They are still the best thing for apple and potato crates where its wet pine and the crates are only made to last one season.
