Restoring old garden furniture

Описание: This weekend I was having company, so I gave my old picnic table a new paint job and restored a pair of cast iron garden chairs that I bought on Facebook marketplace. The couple I got the chairs from were selling just the chair ends, and taking the old wood from the chairs to the tip. I persuaded them to give the wood to me, and I found a way to renew and re-use it. The chairs turned out really nice, and only cost me £30 for the pair - £15 for the cast iron ends, and another £15 for new hardware and the products I used (WD-40 and clear wood protector). They are extremely sturdy chairs with heavy cast iron ends and hardwood slats, so quite a bargain at that price.

In this video I also share a few clips of what is flowering in the garden this week.

Sorry to be uploading late - it was a busy weekend for me and I have only just gotten round to editing the video. Thank you for watching and I wish everyone a lovely week ahead.
