Mike Stuart, a refinisher with nearly 30-years experience working at Persnickety, brushes glue onto the joints of a filing cabinet that a customer is having repaired. The cabinet is branded for an old company in Aberdeen, S.D. called News Printing Co., and features wooden dividers for organizing files. Stuart completely disassembled the piece, which was warped and non-functional, and repaired it by hand with various methods such as filling in imperfections, sanding it into shape, and buffing down brass accents so that they shine again.
