A while back my wife and I visited Phlogiston and his museum and she fell in love with Russ' Kiel Table with an Atwater Kent 60.  I started looking for one to work on and found a 55C in a Kiel Table up in New York.  We took a drive up, managed to just get it into the SUV and brought it home.  At some point a previous owner had started to strip the table but had only partially done the job; so there was still plenty of work to do.  Here are some as received photos.

The cabinet was in pretty good shape although there were some drink glass rings; someone had previously sanded one edge through the veneer,  and the table top had some issues.

The stripping and sanding began:

Then toners and lacquers.  This is my makeshift spray arrangement so I could get at all the legs, corners etc. by just walking around the table.

Someone surely polished the cabinet with some type of silicone polish in the past as fish eye was a bit of a problem.

It all finally came together.  No claim that it is as nicely done as Russ would do but my wife likes it and I think it came out well.
