Will this program be on in the evenings at all?
where do i find tips for repair.
Just saw the first show. Since I have inherited some of my grandmother’s furniture I really appreciated seeing how to fix veneer. I also have a problem with a drawer bottom that has come unglued and is stubborn to open. I hope to see solves for this.
I’m looking forward to tips on how to reassemble chairs. Enjoyed the show this morning. Couldn’t see all of it since I had to go to work.
I watched the opening show and I LOVED it. I’m looking forward to more episodes.

Great job guys! Chris, you might want to do a few more push ups and a few less Guiness curls!!! Be well, and keep up the good work!
Great show, I am looking forward to other episodes as I have a couple of damaged antiques that need help. This could really help in trying to figure out how to restore them. What other days and times is the show going to be on?

This is a wonderful show. My wife and I record everyone of the episodes and watch them over and over. I think they do great work and give great tips. I hope this show is on for a long time!!!
You guys are great–I’m trying to repair an old Victrola and need help. I watch your show whenever it is on and it inspires me to attempt the repair. There are alot of chips, holes, but it is a beautiful piece and want to repair it. Can’t wait to learn more so I can repair it correctly.
Thank you and keep up the good work–love your show!!!!
LOVE YOUR SHOW! How do I find past shows and repairs on your web site. If you ever come to Michigan I have a House full of antiques. I refuse to get rid of them. They all have repairs that need your help. Great show would love to see you on more often!
11/12/09 Loved the show, loved the idea of using saw dust to get in the nooks and crannies of a piece when removing a finish. I have a curio that I really messed up. I went really dark because I could not get into the nooks and crannies. I will now refinish. Thanks so much. I will now record every episode. You guys rock
I LOVED the show! I’ll have to start taping it.
Where do we see answers to the questions posted? I have the same question as Rio from MN

Where do I find the steps in repairing a dining room chair, as seen on 11/19/09?
I loved the episode!

I saw your show on refinishing a dining room table and I want to know why you sprayed your lacquer against the grain?
I’m a refinisher and I always spray with the grain just in case you would get any streaks it would blend in.
after staining a piece of furniture, what can i use to top coat it to protect from water rings?
Saw the show first time today! Great. Great to see two guys without manicured fingernails and designer low risers getting into restoring furniture to near perfection!
Show is a hit with me!
I would like to hire the guys to refinish my furniture how do I get in touch with them?
WHERE IS THE SHOW. I TUNE IN ON THURSDAY
AM. SOME OTHER SHOW IS ON. THIS SHOW IS GREAT AND SHOULD HAVE MORE TIME AND BE ON IN PRIME TIME. HGTV IS BECOMING A REAL ESTATE SHOWCASE. I WOULD LIKE HGTV TO GO BACK THE THE PROGRAMMING THEY HAD WHEN HGTV JUST STARTED. THE CREATE CHANNEL IS STARTING TO GET MY ATTENTION. WE NEED HELP AROUND THE HOUSE. PUT REAL ESTATE ON ANOTHER CHANNEL.
I watch your show every Saturday morning after my (high school sweetheart) wife leaves for work. We live just outside D.C. for and for 12 years I tried to keep out home functioning. I raised two children who are now 9 and 13. I suffered a brain injury and my house is falling apart. When your brain stops functioning the way it use to keeping your house running becomes much more difficult. do the best I can. If it weren’t for the doctor bills I could hire someone to help, but that’s not in the cards now. We have all sorts of interesting problems that your show could use to educate your viewers. We have erosion problems that has led to a wet basement and a sub-floor that looks like a rollercoaster. The builders pushed out two sliding glass doors at an angle and set the load for the outside deck to handle the weight. Consequently, the house is falling in as it settles. I guess I’m looking for some help (as well as some valuable information for your viewers). I have a degree and worked in television production for many years before the accident. Come on to VA for a very interesting show for your audience.
