- This cabinet was originally from the Kolga manor, Estonia. It´s style - neo-baroque, suggests that it is from the end of the 19th century. It´s condition shows that it has been la long time in the kitchen with lots of smoke and fume. In this video I will restore it.

Beautiful restauration! The cabinet is from a period called „Gründerzeit“ and was most likely the top part of a bigger buffet cabinet. Love the piece of newspaper you showed… it‘s written in old German and informed of the marriage of the potter Reinhold and Maria on the October 3rd, 1875. Thank you for sharing.
@Nicole Stöber, is Old German in that particular print type/font difficult to read, for a native German speaker? Because it sure is to me😅. Eventhough I have no problem what so ever reading German in "normal"
(modern) print. With this particular type setting many letters seem to resemble a ß / Eszett, to me.✌🏻
@@janehollander1934 yes it is harder to read. There are a few letters that look different but after reading it a while you get used to it 😌
Thank you.
How awesome for you to share that info.
Bravi
I like that you kept as much of the original wood as you could. That’s my biggest pet peeve when restoring old items, when someone replaces all the original parts with new parts then it loses its nostalgia. Good job! 👍🏽👍🏽
Or, they paint the wood and then “antique” it by sanding the edges to make it look “shabby chic.” 🤮
@@ReisigSeeds exactly!
@@ReisigSeeds Im so guilty of paintimg and antiquing old furnitire.
I was going to say something similar. When he was done, the cabinet still looked very old, but like it was just in very good shape.
...or paint it flat black. Seriously, if you're going to do that to antique hardwood, just get something from IKEA.
This man is a cosmetic surgeon for furniture. He brings the most depraved pieces back to life with new splendor. That is pure appreciation!
It is most beautiful when the grain of the wood finally shines through the application of Shellac. Fantastic works, these videos can be addictive!
I agree. Watching a skilled artisan revitalize old,forgotten,and neglected furniture from bygone eras is the best kind of addiction.
There are some excellent restorers on TH-cam, but I think this guy is the best I've seen. He retains the integrity of the pieces with his knowledge, patience, thoroughness and top skills, one of which is his superb wood carving ability. He also doesn't rely on pointless pets (as nice as pets are) hanging around to gain the gullible pet-loving viewers' empathy and 'likes'. I've just 'subscribed'.
That is nothing short of utterly and totally amazing. I would never have thought that lovely old cabinet could be saved. The amount of detail, the hand carving you did? BEAUTIFUL!!! that went from trash to a prized peice of furniture. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful video! What I wouldnt give to have even 1/4 of your skill. You are extremely talented and a fine artist.
Hello, anything can be saved if you do a little bit efforts in it !
@Jac D Everyone has a right to their opinion... or are you of the mindset that only yours matters? I think he did outstanding work. If you don’t? It's your right to think so, just as its mine, as someone who does hand work, to think he did outstanding work.
Perfectly stated!
@Jac D Meaning what??? You are about as clear as mud via that statement. Just asking for clarity so's not to misunderstand you.
Unbelievable
I didn’t realize that all the detail is hand carved! You are an amazing craftsman! I don’t think there are many people who can do what you do in the world. Thank you for this video!
His work is amazing, but all of the people who graduate in fine arts are taught to carve into different type of materials. So that's a large % of world population.
@@moonbeeps being taught a technique and having the talent to do it are two different things.
@@moonbeeps Yeah, large percentage. Everybody is an artist nowadays. So common that even grandma can do it with a pocket knife and a pair of pliers.
@@moonbeeps large part of population don't even know how to screw in a light bulb, imagine hand carving wood
@@simonethetretelayer5885 Large part of USA population*
I am seriously impressed with your woodworking skills. My father was a master carpenter, as was his father, and while I've learned some of their skills they are nothing like yours. You did a fantastic job restoring this lovely piece of furniture.
вот это да! даже и не подозревала, что такой красивый шкаф может получиться из такого старинного и обветшалого! Какие цвета благородные выбрали! Чёткая работа!
Браво!
@Peter Pan благо, что руки такие умелые.
Never thought I’d end up watching a video of someone fixing an old cabinet at 4 in the morning. That hand carving of wood is simply incredible ! Must’ve been so time consuming, I commend your patience and skill.
Nothing else on at that hour
@@stj971 this is TH-cam, and not television. There’s always something on.
What a fantastic restoration! As good as new
Thanks for translation!
I love these little tip bits that make a piece of furniture lived with. It actually makes history important so thanks
I didn't even know I wanted to know what it said, but turns out I did and it was cool
@xMaiZaddyx Thank you so much for the historical & educational translation. I love when another commenter shares their knowledge with us. It makes this beautiful restoration even more notable. ⚘

Incredible work! Few would be willing or able to do that kind of detailed restoration. I was thrilled that the finished piece still had that lovely look of antiquity.
You blow me away, not only the many skill sets you have from, wood worker, black smith, metal worker, carver, cleaner, painter etc. It is not just that you know how to do these jobs but you do with the knowledge and extreme skill of a true artist. If any one says that what you do is not an art. They do not know the true meaning of art.
the amount of effort to save that cabinet and it turn out so beautiful and brand new. i really admire his work
С какой любовью раньше делали мебель! И с какой бережностью сейчас её восстанавливают! Спасибо мастерам, благослови Бог ваши руки!
Бережливостью.
Absolutely amazing how you recreated the trim. You truly are a furniture master!
Колоссальный труд, невероятное терпение и любовь!👍😍
Ати, Вы волшебник! Живу в Швеции- здесь совсем нет хорошей мебели (ИКЕА и МИО, которые продают, можно сказать, одноразовую мебель). Я решила покупать антикварную мебель и реставрировать ее (здесь она стоит не дорого). Но такое мастерство мне не по силам:). Меня хватает только на то, чтобы отшкурить, поменять обивку, покрыть морилкой и лаком, но и это очень кропотливый труд! Спасибо за идеи и Ваши уроки- моя мечта так научиться работать!
Здравствуйте,согласна с вами учиться действительно нужно у профи.
Такое количество профессионального оборудования у мастера! Правда в дополнение к технике нужно ещё иметь пару рук, глаз и мозг . Сам я пытаюсь иногда сделать что-то подобное на даче, но по сравнению с этим мастером я просто профан.
Well, it looked almost unsalvageable. "Disgusting" was an understatement. Part of your craftsman-artisan skill is that you see what many of us don't. This beautiful piece shows many of your skills. I am so impressed with the beauty of the natural wood finish you recreated. An antique restored to its original' simple, everyday elegance.
Thanks for sharing this beautiful work.
Невозможно оторваться, виртуозная работа! Как это прекрасно созидать и восстанавливать.💖
This was another labor of love of wood and care of the historical value of what was once a beautiful piece. Thank you for returning it to it’s beautiful condition. 🙏
Instead of ·disgusting" I thought "beautiful" because I guessed the result. And it resulted to be really beautiful.
I have the full set of 2 night tables and chest drawers in the same style and marble tops but I still have to finish restoring them. First I needed to undo a lousy restoration from the middle 1940. You inspired me to finish them.
Is that cabinet supposed to sit on a lower piece like a hutch, or is it supposed to be mounted on a wall?
I think it's supposed to sit on a lower piece of furniture.
That really was a mess. At least the newspaper stuck to the back, gave provenance as to its age. Just love watching how you carve out replacement pieces and when you shape parts, they always fit like jigsaw pieces - 08:38 and blend in flawlessly.
I can't get enough of these. I keep watching these restorations and really admire the skill and patience it takes to rework these works of art from the past. Plus I like your sense of humor.
Проделана большая работа, получилась сказка. Мастеру с большой буквы лайк. Спасибо.
Браво, браво мастеру золотые руки.Обожаю смотреть ваши реставрации мебели, лучше любого захватающего сериала ваше мастерство.
И добавить-то нечего, кроме своего лайка!
@@Happiness-to-live365. а я порываюсь поставить лайк, а я уже поставила. Жаль, нельзя их 500 поставить
@@pchelka_c_chelkoi Абсолютно с Вами согласен, тоже всякий раз как мастер находит решение как исправить что-либо, рука с мышкой дергается поставить лайк, а он уже там )) Эх, вот бы для таких Мастеров можно было бы ставить сто-пятьсот лайков!
@@user-qk3wy5eo8g да-да)
Мне тоже очень норавится
Your woodworking abilities is mind boggling. As soon as you turned to the camera and said the word "disgusting", I knew this was going to turn out to be a beautiful piece of work. You proved me right.
You are a true artisan, it's a great joy to watch someone who reminds me of watching my father work on both wood and metal. Thank you
I oddly have always found worm holes in wood charming as long as they didn't damage the wood too much. Beautiful cabinet! I was so impressed when you hand carved the egg and dart moulding pieces.
Agreed.
Did he treat the woodworm with anything?
Спасли такой раритет ,вы молодцы ,талантище ,очень увлекательно было наблюдать превращение гадкого утёнка в прекрасного лебедя! Мое вам восхищение!
This restoration was absolutely amazing. I am in awe of your ability to recreate the old, broken or missing pieces of trim. Thanks for the video.
Me too! Seeing him plug those holes and even hand-carve the large sections of trim is just amazing.
My goodness, had I not watched the video, I would have sworn this was a different cabinet. Amazing work and beautifully restored. I love seeing your skills, every video you excel at a different skill. This is lovely work and thank you for sharing your talent
I'm mind blown by the results! Thank you for preserving and restoring timeless pieces ❤
You have amazing skill! I bet that piece didn’t look that good when it was new. The love and care that you put into this piece was truly a glimpse into what an artist mind and soul is like. Thank You!
You really have outdone yourself this time. This is quite literally a masterclass on how to restore a piece of furniture. Your skills are absolutely amazing and I was so so impressed at the completed result. Stunningly beautiful are the only words I can think of to describe how it now looks.
Restorations like this make me very happy. I love historical furniture, it ha such a unique charm, and knowing that it served people hundreds of years before me is just... Amazing. It's sad to see them rot away because they aren't trendy anymore, and most people won't bother with them.
So it makes me really satisfied when I see one get restored to its original glory. Especially if the person doing it tries to stay true to the original piece instead of just making it into osmething else. Sometimes old wood cannot be salvaged and I really appreciate you taking the time to recreate the broken / rotted pieces as closely to the originals as you could. Amazing work. :)
It would be REALLY NICE to be able to see customers’ reactions.
Congratulations, you are an ARTIST.
Restoring something is not easy, you have the patience, wisdom and machines necessary for a great job, congratulations friend.
How many kinds of vices do you think he has?
I wouldn’t have believed this was possible even after watching the video. True craftsmanship, just stunning results
Wow!! Just, wow!! A now valuable antique relic you have here, and you saved it beautifully. A beautiful piece like this is furniture you just don't find in an immaculate condition anymore. You did such a wonderful job!! Kudos to you!!!!
Absolutely AMAZING!! I am soooo glad to see someone still knows how to recreate broken/missing pieces essentially by hand!! Beautiful work, great job!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️
Now this is restoration. The amount of work put is actually more than what making a new one would take. 😊👍
Same with sewing garments
Thank you for sharing this amazing restoration project with us. The hand-carving of the trim replacement pieces was especially impressive and the end result was, as always, simply beautiful. I hope you are training an apprentice, because your knowledge store should be passed on.
This is a restoration for you to be very proud of ! Excellent historical rescue work 🥰 you gave the respect it deserves.
Another stunningly beautiful piece! But frankly, when I first saw it, I thought it was only good for stove wood. Now I love the way this piece turned out. So impressive!
У Вас золотые руки, настоящий мастер своего дела! Смотрю с удовольствием!
Stunning talent you have! I'd never throw away damaged furniture if I knew someone like you lived nearby and could repair it. You have an artisan gift. Thank you for sharing your work.
It's wonderful to watch a master woodworker create/restore something beautiful! You are a truely talented artist!
I love everything about your videos! It’s a privilege to watch you work. A true craftsman. It’s quiet and mesmerizing. You’re adorable. I just found you and I’m so glad I did. My boys love watching too! You may be inspiring new generations. Thank you!
I am amazed to see how the people in the old times were able to make such things without using all these machines and tools etc that are needed for restoration. 😊
Love your work. Subscribed 👍🏼
The furniture makers in 'the old times' had most of the tools you see in this video. Just not the electric ones. They had power tools that were either water, steam, or engine driven. A modern craftsman would be very challenged to keep up with an 1875 craftsman. They had all the chisels, saws, and a myriad of hand planes that performed very well.
@@georgepretnick4460 😱
@@georgepretnick4460 I don't think most woodworkers would have access to such things prior to the 20th century. I believe there was large industrial equipment powered by such things, but I figure it's more milling and other heavy duty trades, not fine woodworking. Do you have any sources you could link talking about it? I've been wanting to learn more about woodworking history and have had a hard time finding good places to research from.
@@amandaduckett3093 yes, there was industrial level furniture, door, window and flooring manufacturing back to Roubo. Most wood working powered machinery was developed in the 19th century, it just wasn't electric powered. Most of them were powered by a belt drive coming off of a central drive shaft. That drive shaft was powered by, you guessed it, a large industrial engine, a steam engine, a water wheel, or even animal powered.
@@georgepretnick4460 Now that you mention it, I believe I have heard of such things before. That being said, most smaller businesses or shops probably were not fitted with such things, just like today many small shops don't have the newest and latest technology in the field. I worked in a cabinetry shop that didn't even have a CNC until 2020!
What an incredible result! A highly skilled, clever restoration - truly outstanding work!
Yikes, he's good!
@@karenmoriarty5754 He hasn't 'restored it' - He's turned the damn thing into a plastic coated disappointment and has taken away any signs of the fact that that it is over 145 years old.
Absolutely beautiful! The attention to detail in bringing this piece back to life is absolutely magical
You pulled off a miracle and probably surpassed the original design and woodwork too. Your master carpentry skills are on a level all its own👏
Every time You do something like this, I really regret that I live so far away from You...I have one rather large thing to restore, and You are the only one that I trust enough to do the job :)
So amazing! It's sad to imagine how many beautiful pieces have been scrapped as junk when all they need is some tlc.
Wonderful work! I'd buy a piece like that for full price.
Yes. Best flip flop cabinets for beautiful house!
I watch at least 20 furniture restoration channels and that was the best I’ve ever seen!!! You are a true craftsman
Вы прекрасны! Редкое сочетание трудолюбия, высокого чувства стиля и умелых рук! Браво!
You are a master craftsman!!! Amazing restoration. Most people wouldn't spent the time bringing this piece back to it's original glory. 👏❤👏
That’s absolutely amazing. I never thought that could be restored. Thank you for caring enough about the beauty and craftsmanship of the original piece to bring it back to life again. It’s stunning.
Ppplpppppppppppppppppppplpppppp
Ай да мастер,ай да золотые руки!
Спасибо, что реставрируете прекрасную старину.Это шедевр,произведение искусства!.
Честь и хвала ВАМ!
This has to be the best restoration I’ve ever seen. Your craftsmanship is something else. Carving missing pieces. Amazing. Thank you for your video. Happy New Year 🎉🎉🎉
The amount of tiny detail you put in, esp by hand, is beautiful! I love that you even used scrappy old bits to fix some of the tiny parts so they were still restored using an original part of it. Damn, you got talent!!
If I said "WOW" once, during this video, I must have said it a dozen times, but when it came to your remaking of that strip of "Egg and Dart" trim, I almost burst into tears!! This is one of the most remarkable restorations I've seen, (and I'm stuck indoors nursing a broken leg, so, trust me, I've seen lots!). Thankyou from the bottom of my heart, for the love and care you put into your work!
I know, I kept saying wow! I'm sorry about your leg!
I am simply amazed by your talent, and the care you take in the restoration. Thank you for sharing your gift!!
There are no words to describe the beautiful job you done on this piece!
What you do to restore furniture is an art. Absolutely beautiful.
Stunningly beautiful restoration of a piece that many would throw out because of the amount of damage that it had. Just amazing!
I can’t get past the absolute ARTISTRY of those carvings! You are so talented.
How generous of you to show us your working process. This piece of furniture is just amazing. Love watching your videos...
Невероятно! Отличная работа! Очень впечатляет, особенно резьба по дереву- это не просто. Результат превосходный! 👍
You had to essentially remake that cabinet. The carving was impressive! I can’t believe how good it looks now! Thank you so much!🐝🤗❤️
Да,это выглядит красиво, мастер, молодец 👏
My jaw dropped when I saw the completion! You are a brilliant artist of perfection! Absolutely beautiful.
You are a furniture God. Brought that piece back from the dead and gave it a second chance at life❤
I truly wish I had your talent, time, and tools. Thank you, for taking the time to share your experience, and talent with us, and for saving these pieces of our history.
Absolutely amazing! I love how you keep as much of the original wood as possible. And your repair work is seamless. What a gorgeous piece of furniture 🙂
Me ha encantado verle trabajar. Es un gran maestro de la restauración
Самый лучший мастер которого я видела на ютубе. Без болтовни, подробно. Всё сделанное его руками это произведение искусства. Есть ещё девушка Трэна, тоже большой профессионал.
I keep thinking of a neurosurgeon doing a delicate and intricate operation on a patient in an OR suite surrounded by innumerable esoteric and sophisticated tools. Your work is fascinating and beautiful. What a joy to watch.
Shocking restoration! Beautiful piece of art!🏆
This is so much more than restoration it’s more like fine craftsmanship.
I know I always say this and that I sound like a broken record ….. BUT you are a master craftsman! Such a superb job of all the recarving, and general restoration, I love your videos!
I am totally awestruck. I absolutely love going thru all your restorations. You have absolutely awesome skills. I learned from a master clock maker and carver before he passed for over 15 years. I absolutely love hand detailing. You did a incredible job. It came out so beautiful. 😊
Thanks Jennifer!
You should ‘absolutely’ expand your vocabulary and use an adverb that’s not ‘absolutely’.
Wow, that was quite an adventure! That old cabinet transformed from firewood to a piece anyone would/should be proud to have in their home. Brilliant work sir, and thank you for your videos. God bless. Rev. D.
What an astounding amount of skill and talent this man has! Extremely impressed. God bless you!
Великолепная работа. Просто прелесть. Часами можно следить за вашей работой. Очень нравится.
Дай бог тебе здоровье. Большое спасибо за видео.
I’m simply bowled over I can not tell the new from the original . A true craftsman that cares
It amazing that after you finish it looks like it’s a very old piece of furniture that’s been really really well looked after, it doesn’t look like it’s been fiddled with or restored at all. Fantastic!
You are a master at your craft...and for someone like myself, who absolutely loves vintage and antiques, it's like knowing that there are people out there who can truly bring the past to life...and preserve it
Those repairs you made have given this piece at least another and 150 years.A job well done!!!!
WOW. I can tell this was a true labor of love when I saw you hand-carve such tiny, intricate details!
Marvelous! I have been practicing wood carving as a hobby for years, and have enjoyed this beautiful restoration process. You are a great craftsman, I congratulate you.
Прекрасная работа, шкафчик лучше нового!!! Респект мастеру!
Прекрасная работа!!! Очень хочется так же научиться. Спасибо за полученное удовольствие наблюдать превращение рухляди в шедевр.
Another lovely piece restored and conserved for future generations. Well done!
WOW! This one needed all your tricks! What an incredible job! It's a lovely and useful little piece now.
This is a labor of utter love and respect for these pieces. Thoroughly enjoyed watching.
THIS IS WHAT I WOULD SEE AS A TRUE RESTORATION. YOU ARE A MASTER, AND THIS PIECE TURNED OUT BEAUTIFUL!
We have to say that you are the most talented woodworker we have ever seen anywhere. What a go and keep up the good work. You're an inspiration.
Wow! That was impressive. Many people wouldn’t see the value of even keeping it but you made it a treasure! Great job!
1:00 - I saw that moth flying away and thought, "I don't blame you, buddy."
10:25 - I don't have any idea why I'm so very pleased that a broken-off section of the original cabinet's wood was used to fix the missing ornamental pieces. It's strangely satisfying. There's probably a whole load of philosophical waffling I could do about the pleasing symmetry of destruction giving rise to creation, but that's what happens when I watch videos like this at four in the morning.
LOL I hear ya. It's 4:28am here right now. 😊
You truly are a Master at refinishing furniture! Absolutely stunning.
You sir are a Master. What precise, pristine, & exquisite craftsmanship you employed in returning this cabinet to it's former glory. Bravo.
