I can't believe how many people have watched and seem to enjoy my work! Thank you, I am so glad to share my hobby with you all. I have been asked about setting one of these up and always said no, but if it will make people happy, you can now shout me a coffee. www.buymeacoffee.com/restorationendeavours Also, check out th-cam.com/users/buckminsterupholstery as I learned so much through his awesome videos.
I particularly enjoyed seeing you create the missing drawer using dovetails made the traditional way that I was taught. Congratulations on another fine restoration using only hand tools.
I see you have watched a few of my videos. I am glad you are enjoying them! I am trying to look for more pieces where I can do things like remake parts from scratch, but I think I will have to just make some furniture instead of restoring to do it. Cheers,
My Grandma had a piece just like that. Grandpa took the locks off. she put her fine silver ware in the drawer and her good table cloths in the side cupboards. that was in the Dining Room near the corner. Thank you for sharing your excellent work and brining back those memories. God bless.
It's beautiful!! Love that you opted for this refreshing honey-colored finish....rather than the tiresome, somber, brown-black shoe-polish stain that was on it.
I agree, though from what I can tell, the darker finish deteriorates and gets a lot dark over time, so originally it would have been nice and warm instead of dark and dreary.
That is beautiful, the wood is happy. So many people think that removing the crackled antique finish is wrong. That is just not true. Honor the maker and finish it just like he did.
I'm subscribing as well. Thanks for showing how to do dovetails. I want to restore a mahogany dresser with one missing drawer front and I'm going to try doing dovetails instead of gluing front to sides. Ironically, I'm also 72 and been working on furniture since I was a kid. Mom showed me how as she didn't believe in tossing old furniture out when you could fix or refurnish it--but NOT paint it as wood is beautiful. I'll be a regular viewer from now on.
True artisan when electricity is abandoned. Fine result. First impression: early 20th century; I saw this piece many times as a kid in old fashioned homes in the 50s. Thanks and best wishes.
Wunderschön. Danke. Endlich ein Fachmann unter den ganzen "Möbelexperten". Es tut gut, sich das Möbelstück anzuschauen, was wirklich gut restauriert worden ist.
Nicely done. I am 71 year old woman who has been refinishing furniture since I learned at 16. You did a great job on this dresser. I would place it as a well home made piece from the 40’s. Thanks for not playing music and not eliminating to much of your work. I’d rather watch more of the labour than all of sudden the video is over without seeing the half of the work. Speeding up is fine, just be careful it’s not too much. Thanks. I’m subscribing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇨🇦!
Thank you so much! I like the videos that are more real time as well. Only problem is I sometimes end up with several hours of footage and have to cut it all back! Thanks for subscribing, it means a lot to me.
I try and use everything I fix up and make, though with tools lately I have not been polishing and finishing as much. And thank you for checking out so many of my videos!
Brilliant finish product. This piece could have been made in 1967. In the woodworking classes at esign my school, the more advanced fellows would make pieces like this for their mothers & they probably used a design that was familiar to them from an earlier era. You might want to start signing your work like the fellow I watch in TH-cam ... flippingdoors is his handle I think. Once again, great job!!
I Have never seen anybody lay out or cut dovetails like that talk about old school. So I liked and subscribed. what a beautiful peace of furniture Found on the side of the road no doubt.
Check out Paul Sellers. He does very much this work and in traditional style. This piece was original in a friends back shed, but who knows for how long.
The grain of this was wonderful and I'm pleased you didn't end up making it dark. What a great example of traditional woodworking, too! The old planes are much more appealing than their modern counterparts and much quieter, so very satisfying!
Great job. It looked pretty sad to start with, but you've breathed new life into it. It's great to see the hand tools in use for this one. Too often you see people using every super expensive, noisy power tool known to mankind. More time consuming going the hand tool route but much calmer and definitely quieter.
Using hand tools in any kind of wood working is becoming a lost art. In the not so distant future, it will be lost altogether because of the time, effort and patience it takes for someone to turn something so old and worn into something beautiful and useful again. Thank you for such an interesting project.
Well said! It is sad because I feel having a good grip of hand tools leads to better design and building. Than again, it is also exciting to see what the future holds for some of these things!
So satisfying watching you revive all the beautiful wood hidden under such an ugly stain. I imagine that if not for restorers like yourself this beautiful piece would have ended up as fire wood.
Я в восторге от вашей работы.Привыкла видеть реставрации новейшими инструментами и станками.А вы делали всё по старинке.Получилось просто супер .Шкаф заиграл своими красками.Будет еще много ,много лет радовать своих владельцев.Браво, чудесная работа.❤❤❤❤
Очень бережная и трудоёмкая реставрация. Великолепная работа!!!! Браво!!!👏👏👏 Огромное спасибо за субтитры. С уважением к мастеру Людмила, Россия, Тюмень
Thank you. The only thing that made me think it wasn't quite that old was the condition of some of the exposed wood. However, it just may have been stored well.
I absolutely love the silky oak sideboard you restored, beyond words. Should I ever find a piece of silky oak I will do my best to restore it as you did. Thank you for sharing your talent. 😊
I like that you used hand tools. Besides power tools being very expensive for a hobbyist, I enjoy the satisfying physical activity of using hand tools, particularly planes. The sideboard, with its amazing grain pattern, is lovely! I enjoyed your comment, "But where's the challenge in that?"
Thank you very much! I kind of like the idea that someone may go buy a cheap second hand plane and have a crack at fixing something too. Also, sometimes a little challenge makes it more interesting as well!
Sweet to see you not using power tools. The old hand-powered tools are not in fashion anymore, but it's great to see some one with the knowledge and desire to use them again
@@selmamachado5728 I think it has its place. I've painted mismatched cheap pine furniture white for my bedroom. Though I wonder if some future youtuber will strip it because people in the future love knotty pine! :)
@@Old_Scot @Selma Machado I think this is my challenge now. Find a piece so damaged (maybe from termites or rot) that I have to paint some of it to make it usable again after filling/patching it. Thanks for the inspiration!
I absolutely love Silky Oak. I have a SO dresser that belonged to my grandparents, dated to 1919. It's slightly chunkier than the one you have so I would date yours to a little earlier than mine. Maybe the 1900s or earlier 1910s for yours. I don't think anyone in the 60s would have made a piece like this so that "67" on the back of the mirror is either the date of a replacement mirror, or something else 🙂 Love the refinish on this piece, showing the lovely grain of the timber. Mine needs refinishing too, you may have just inspired me.
It's amazing timber, isn't it. I was thinking that maybe it was custom piece that was made to order, but it's strange to see pine used with such an old piece of wood for the top. The tree would have been massive. I do think you are right though, the 67 can't be a year, or at least the original year. Good luck with it, and hopefully it's not to big a job!
It's possible the '67', if it is a date, only pertains to the mirror itself. The mirror may have been fully replaced or simply re-silvered in that year. It's a lovely piece & your restoration is an elegant enhancement. ❤
Loved watching you work. I t brought back wonderful memories of watching my dad use hand tools, not power tools. Your piece is beautiful, I learnt some new approaches for my own pieces. Thank you.
It is very beautiful! 🌟 In the U.S. I had an oak buffer exactly like this with the old, darkened stain. Who knew the wood could be so lovely. You’ve got some serious skills. Thanks for showing us all these tips.
I was taught to use hand tools only. Sharpen saws and chisels by some great old guys. Cabinet scrapers we made also for different shapes. It looks like a possible wash stand. Open space for a bowl underneath. 1920s at a guess. The bigger dove tails would have been spot on. Great job 👏
Thank you. I have something with a similar finish at the moment, and I am toying around with trying to redo the finish fully original. It's just hard to see what it should look like though!
You did a fantastic job of restoring this piece in a sympathetic manner, and I especially enjoyed seeing the " proper woodworking " as you called it when constructing the new drawer. It looks so beautiful now it's finished and I can totally understand why you love this type of wooden furniture. Great video, and am looking forward to seeing more from you. Thanks for sharing your skills with us.
Thank you for watching. And I don't mean to take away from all the people that do amazing things with power tools, it's just so much more peaceful without the noise. I have already started on my next piece, so hopefully you won't have to wait too long.

Thank you! It was tempting to buy new ones, but then it's just a waste.

I loved the investigation of the piece that you did that allowed the piece to tell you what it needed. Well done!
I like the challenge of finding what history it is hiding and get it close to authentic again. Thanks for watching!
"old locks will sometimes open themselves when turned on their side" - Information we will never forget. 😄
It's may not always be the case, but I will now always try it before ripping the back off things.
Great work. The natural tone makes the furniture appear lighter. I've learned a lot, especially that I don't need all the machines.
This makes me happy. There are a lot of good hand tools floating about that with some TLC are still great to use.
Absolutely gorgeous. I'm so glad people are saving the older pieces of furniture.
There are so many amazing pieces that deserve to be used and enjoyed! Not to mention they are usually so nice and solid too.
Brilliant finish product. This piece could have been made in 1967.

Great piece. I would agree with the early 1900s when this piece was made. Great job.

Just lovely to see the wood unstained and showing off its glorious grain from our wonderful Grevillea trees.

Superb restoration. You chose a lovely stain that brings out the grain. And the finish glows. Definitely an upcycle

Excellent camera work, editing, and (of course) restoration. Thanks for sharing your incredible talents and for educating us about woodworking.
I don't usually get comments on my camera work and editing, so extra thank you!
What a lovely piece...its beautiful! Well done, sir!
Thank you kindly!
You brought out the gorgeous wood grain in this!! Well done! Thank you for NOT painting it over in that hideous shabby chic style!! 😸🙏
Thank you so much! I will admit, I did toss the idea around of painting the back panels satin black before I removed the back ply.
Beautiful work! I personally love hand tools, much quieter.
That's why I prefer them too. 😀
I was taught to use hand tools only. Sharpen saws and chisels by some great old guys. Cabinet scrapers we made also for different shapes. It looks like a possible wash stand. Open space for a bowl underneath. 1920s at a guess. The bigger dove tails would have been spot on. Great job 👏
Thank you. That is some of the better info I have heard. Makes sense as the open area seems odd.

I am glad you enjoyed it. And it sits proudly in my living room now.

Thanks heaps!
What a difference, I usually love dark dark wood, This piece might change my mind.
