*I'm a 1st time viewer* .. halfway through I slowed down the playback speed and subscribed ... *I throughly Enjoyed watching you work Magic on this Beautiful pc of History*
I was feeling blah til I watched this thru and realized I had finished a whole house,An historic Italionate Villa of 27 rooms by myself this way and nearly cried. Was able to realize I had just done a little chore that took this detailed process and was so grateful for your showing the process you saved this lovely piece from perdition. Hello to the helpful pups in the meantime. Thank you.
Absolutely gorgeous! And the fact that you took it completely apart and put it back together is mind-blowing! As someone said earlier, you absolutely are a true craftsman. Thank you for sharing.
This is pure ASMR... The trains chugging, the birds calling, the children chattering... the carpentry, shaving, scraping, sanding, cutting,, carving, clamping, all the noises and visuals combined, lacking only the scent of the wood, wax, and grime... there, you've gone and made me go all poetical, just watching a vid of you restoring something that most people wouldn't even have bothered with... Thank you 💖
Mhm… do you still need this and don’t know where do put this? I would offer my help and take it🤓 The work you put inside this beautiful piece I couldn’t pay anyway , I guess nobody could.
At last another master restorer who takes care of the finest details and finishes. Enjoyed every minute of it from dismantling, restoring and reassembling. Therapy :))
I definitely enjoyed watching the whole thing. But I still couldn't understand how you cut your hand while removing the tapes 😁😁 There is a lot of work and a lot of patience here. 👌👌@@Restorology
@@Restomaniac Dude I have no idea how I cut my hand on tape. There must have been a sliver of wood or something stuck on it. I know I am going to bleed at some point during each project but never in the first 30 seconds!! 🩹🤕
I'm so glad you have outstanding and beautiful Quality Assurance and Safety managers to guide you thru this process. That was some serious lead to get rid of, but the end result is just lovely!
My toxic trait is watching amazing artisans like you do these restorations and thinking "I could do that" but then I remember that I struggle to finish my laundry and know that I would never have the patience for this. Excellent work!
I lived that close to the Alaska Railroad in Anchorage. It got to be so Comforting that I missed it when I moved to Texas 22 years later. It was fun, especially when I rode the train to Seward. My condo was visible for about 2 seconds! I love you work, it's beautiful!
Thank you!! I am glad that you enjoyed the project. The track behind my house is actually a spur on a switching line so the trains are usually just crawling by and if we are in the back, we can wave and say hey to the engineers!
Amazing!!! I said no way. When I saw it from the beginning and watched you work it was so relaxing.At every scrape I knew the wood would fall apart. Beautiful. I am totally at a lost for words. Beautiful❤❤❤❤❤
Well, anyone would so love having one of your restored works of art. You are a master craftsman in restoration. Here in the UK you would love it, for we have been cheerfully throwing lovely period furniture in the trash since the last war. You can pick up such items for a song at the auctions because nobody values them. Your dedication and the time that you spend is priceless. I can guarantee that there is no-one to match what you do in our land, which is full of short cuts and modern rubbish- and this is what is valued here. The days of such pieces are long gone, but you make the past come back to life.
You truly are a wood master! I was mesmerized watching you work your magic on this piece. Simply stunning results. What a joy seeing it come back to life and live on in all it’s beauty. Fantastic job!!!👏👏🎉
Aaaah! Thank you so much for saving that besuty! Every time i see someone paint an antique I get so annoyed. So happy there are people like you keeping them out of the landfill ❤❤
This one was close...I found it on the side of the road the day before trash pickup. It turned out much better than I thought it would. Thanks for the great feedback!
Beautiful beyond words. My generation were quite familiar with re-using/re-styling furniture, but nothing as amazing as this. Thank you so very much for showing us your work. I hope there's a 'wealthy' Patron out there who will spring for a very comfortable work shed for you 🥺 You deserve the best! 🤞👍
You must be reading my mind. It's been raining here for the last few days and will be for the next few days and that makes it hard to work on these projects since I like working outside. I do have a full shop but it is poorly lit and not good for videos (and full of projects in the queue) so I don't like filming in there. I was just talking today about what I can do to make my shop better for filming these videos. Thanks for the very kind feedback. I am happy that you enjoyed watching this project. 🌻
Outstanding restoration. The format is what these types of channels should be. No excessive narration, showing the actual work, and finishing the project. You have a great channel.
Hey thank you so very much!! I am happy you found me and are enjoying the projects. I have a new video premiering tomorrow so maybe I'll see you there?? Thanks again!
I have seen dozens & dozens of restorations. Yours has to be the most extensive. I would have sworn that was initially just firewood. Much respect. You turned it into a beautiful cabinet again.
Thanks!! This one was a bit tedious for sure. It wasn't in bad shape under the five layers of very protective lead paint, it had just lost its integrity and couldn't stay up on its own!! I am glad that this one is complete. Stay tuned, the next project is an old classic oak desk from the same time period.
You can tell a lot about a craftsman by his/her way of taking a restoration object apart. So many people aren't careful because "it's old stuff and already broken". A real craftsman takes his/her time and is very careful because every part is important. You took your time, and I appreciate it so much! A fantastic restoration of beautiful furniture, a great video. If I can have a wish, I would like to see more in real time. Everything doesn't need to go in express speed. :)
Thank you for the very kind words. Showing steps in real time would be nice and I would like to do more of it. However, in the past when I have focused more time on a specific task, people have gotten bored with it and drop off from the video. I try to have a good mix now. Thanks for the feedback! 🙏🏽✌🏽
You took it apart, replaced some pieces and still managed to restore it to its original self, only more gorgeous! I enjoyed every moment of your video 😁
I watch these for fun. They are interesting, however, the big surprise was what I learn! Things break at home, and I've learned some tricks watching these shows. Thank you so much!
Какая потрясающая работа! Мастер с большой буквы. Приятно было смотреть на вашу работу. Спасибо за доставленное удовольствие. Очень красивая витрина получилась! Хочу такую же.
What an amazing transformation! Turned out gorgeous! It's hard to believe it looked so trashed before! You are a magical furniture refinisher! Beautiful job! 😊❤
У Вас золотые руки! То, что Вы делаете, потрясающе! 👏👏👏 Я когда вижу выброшенную старинную мебель, сердце сжимается 😢. А Вы даёте старой мебели новую жизнь! Спасибо за Ваш труд!❤
Thanks!! I am so happy that you enjoyed it. 🙂 People have suggested that I try an ASMR-style restoration video but I am not sure that my regular viewers would care for it. It would be fun to try but I bet it would be a lot of extra work to get it right. ✌🏽🍸
My Mum had one of those they were beautifully made pieces. My goodness what a lot of work. Everything taken apart, then reassembled, the scrapping and the sanding and the holes, my goodness what a lot of holes in that wood. It came out stunning well done it is back to being around for another hundred years. My Grand dad swore by the hand planers and the hundred year old saws. He even had a old iron bench clamp with the steel rod to tighten the screw. He made a few pieces of furniture in his time including a very dark wood almost black dressing table for my mum and then it was handed down to me then to my sisters before it got infested with wood worm and then dad took it to the back of the yard and we had a bonfire. I am glad you restored it too many pieces of furniture end up on a burn pile these days there is ways to bring things back to life or reinvent them into something else. I am also glad you saved the original makers marks on the back that was an especially nice touch. A grand job sir!
Oh!! My jaw is on the floor & I can’t stop looking at this ‘Cinderella story!’ I really do hope you decide to keep it, you’ve turned its life around & I don’t know that anyone else would appreciate what it took to get it where it is today. Back to unabashedly staring 😃❤❤❤
Thank you for the very kind words! I am not certain what I will do with it yet. I found it in a neighbor's trash and could not resist picking it up but I've already got one of these in my home. It will be here until my wife makes me give it away!! 🙂
I was with my mouth opened when I saw that you are ambidextrous. Wow! No muss, no fuss! Wax in. Wax out. You turned a sore eye furniture into a beautiful, elegant, gorgeous hutch! Great job. I wish I had a little bit of training in carpentry at all. The end result is to be admired always. Thank you for sharing. God bless.
Watching you work is like turning back the clock many years and watching my dad do woodworking and repairs. Sadly he has been gone for a lot of years but those memories remain. This cabinet is lovely. You do beautiful work. 😊
My first video and I am extremely impressed. Can’t wait to watch others. Your wife is lucky to have such a talented man. I loved what you did with this cabinet. WOW!
I just loved that you restored this amazing piece of furniture and didn't repaint it also kept it out of the landfills. I will continue to see more of your work!
What a spectacular transformation! This cabinet is SO beautiful! I have a question…how did you safely remove that leaded paint and protected yourself in doing so? Again, this cabinet is a real show piece 🎉👏👀
Thank you very much! Because the paint stripper was not working on the lead paint, I had to mechanically remove it using a scraper so I did it all outdoors and used a face respirator every time I worked on it. I should have used gloves too probably but I am not very good about that. I dispose of the paint scraping at our local haz waste disposal center. Thanks for asking and for the very kind words. 🌻✌🏽
You did a beautiful job. I have one I restored my grandmother gave to me. It was totally black varnish. I stripped it in high school for FHA project. My grandfather built it in the 1930s. I love it. I am now 75 years old. You are great!
M A G N I F I Q U E!!!!! Vous avez redonné vie à ce meuble maltraité au fil des années et mourant !!!! Bravo, vous êtes doué. Félicitations!!!! Ce meuble est solide et sain pour au moins 100 ans maintenant... 😊😊😊
This was a treat to watch such an amazing transformation! I loved your quick thinking with the makeshift steamer great idea. Oh and the train sounds made me chuckle for a moment I thought I was a work lol.
This is absolutely gorgeous. I love the dark finish you chose, and the work you put into disassembling and reassembling the whole thing is staggering. Watched you taking off all of those layers of paint had me mumbling “there ought to be a law” because just slapping paint on the beautiful wood should be a crime! I like your pets, too. They’re such good supervisors!
Thanks! There was a lot of paint on this one. Based on the number of different species of wood on this, I think that it was originally painted from the maker. I'm so please at how well it turned out.
Absolutely stunning! I watch a lot of restorers of miscellaneous items but this is by far one of the best videos I've ever watched. The meticulous labor of love that you put into this discarded street side item was just incredible. You sir are a true artist and Craftsman. I quite enjoyed watching this video, with your animals, and a sense of humor all rolled into one, and I look forward to the next.. Thanks so much for sharing. 😊
That would be incredible. I need to research the company some more to see when happened to it. It is from a local furniture maker back in the early to mid 1900s.
Γεια στην Ελλάδα! Ευχαριστώ για τα πολύ καλά λόγια. Νομίζω ότι θα επισκεφθώ τη χώρα σας αργότερα φέτος. Είναι όμορφο. Ευχαριστώ που επισκεφτήκατε το κανάλι μου. ✌🏽🌻
I’ve been looking for a cabinet just like this for my bedroom. I definitely wouldn’t have brought your cabinet home to work on. I’m 75 and don’t want to work that hard. Awesome job Matt. Thanks for sharing.👍👍💕💕
Beautiful work, love the colour. Thank you for this video. Wonderful seeing it returned to as it was, and all perfectly cared for and restored and healed its wounds.😊
Until I watched this video, I never would have believed anyone could repair that damaged piece. Even better you mostly used the original wood. When you need to add patches, the repairs were seamless. I loved the final color choice. Repairing and reusing the original hardware was a chef’s kiss. I hope you were able to sell it. If not it will be a beautiful piece to pass down. Thanks for sharing.
Hi. Thanks for a kind and thoughtful message. I have not tried to sell it so right now it sits in my dining room. I love how it turned out. Not bad for a garbage pick find. 🍀
You did a remarkable job on this beautiful China cabinet. I admire you for taking it down to all those many pieces n repairing everything that needed to be done. Many hours I’m sure that took to where it sits now. I loved how you mastered every detail n still remember how to put it all back together. What heck of fine work you did. It’s definitely a true beauty now. ♥️♥️♥️😊👍👍👍
Wow! All that hard work was really worth it! I enjoyed every minute of your video. Your dog is beautiful & thanks for rescuing the ladybug! A 74 year old woman from Virginia, USA
It’s beautiful! I love when a restorer takes a piece back to the wood it made from and let’s the natural beauty of it shine through. You did an amazing job!
It's so great to see you taking something that normally would end up in a landfill and restoring it to its former glory! You can't buy new furniture made this well today without paying a fortune. Thank you for sharing this process. The end result is absolutely amazing! I'm 66 and I remember my dad doing similar projects and he was meticulous and exacting in his work....so nice to see people today who take complete pride on their craft 👍👍
Oh my word! Beyond belief, working with paint issues would put others to say bye, bye. Seriously amazing! There are no words to describe this transformation!
You’re the best. Restoration is awesome. I especially appreciate that you use as much of the original piece as possible and make repairs using wood (love all the little dowels), not filler or bondo.
I like the gloves. Great to see someone taking care of their hands using sanders. Especially wire ones too. I'm loving this refurb as I inherited one similar from my mum.
Thanks!! So glad you are enjoying the process. I am not always good about wearing gloves or masks but the lead paint in this one made me a little more cautious.
This was awesome! I like how you took it all apart and actually fixed it, besides sanding it all down and staining it such a beautiful color. Thank you for sharing such a nice video. I look forward to the next one. 😁
Thanks for the kind words! The next one will be a classic oak desk from the same time period. Found it at an estate sale and it's been outside for years so some work is required. Stay tuned!

Thank you so much for your support!! 🥰
That was quite an impressive display of your skill set. Beautiful finished product.
Not as much skill as patience. This one took a while to do. Thanks!!
The amount of hard work and hours you’ve put in this piece is unbelievable. You turned an ugly duck into a swan. BIG well done.
I appreciate the kind words. Thank you!
A stunning transformation. You are a true craftsman!

Beautiful! I love to hear the trains as I grew up 1/2 block from the tracks and now live a block from 2 train tracks.
The trains are cool when sitting back there but they make it hard to film sometimes!
The ladybug 🐞 stopped by to say hello and loved your restoration. Thanks for saving the ladybug and this cabinet. 👍⭐️
I am glad I saw it there before slapping the glue on. I would have felt terrible. 🐞

@@re-inventedbymaria De nada. I look forward to watching it. 🤙🏾
Supurb! The color is rich and glowing! That you did all that paint removal in such a safe and through manner speaks to your craftsmanship!
Thanks! Had to be extra careful with this one. I've got another piece coming up soon that may have even more lead than this project! 🥺
Beautiful job, mate. 👍👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺 it turned out absolutely gorgeous. 😅
Thank you so very much for your continued support!! Glad to have you here. ✌🏽
Watching you work is like turning back the clock many years and watching my dad do woodworking and repairs. Sadly he has been gone for a lot of years but those memories remain. This cabinet is lovely. You do beautiful work. 😊
Thank you for the very kind feedback and thanks for sharing. I am happy to know that this brought back some memories for you! 🌻
Absolutamente hermoso!!!
Gracias 😊
¡Gracias por las amables palabras! ✌🏽
My first video and I am extremely impressed. Can’t wait to watch others. Your wife is lucky to have such a talented man. I loved what you did with this cabinet. WOW!
Thank you so very much for the kind words and welcome to the channel!! I am lucky to have such a talented and smart wife. 🥰
Verdaderamente un trabajó de titanes MARAVILLO 😮😮😮
¡Muchas gracias! ✌🏽
I just loved that you restored this amazing piece of furniture and didn't repaint it also kept it out of the landfills. I will continue to see more of your work!
Thank you so much and welcome to the channel!! 🌻
What a spectacular transformation! This cabinet is SO beautiful! I have a question…how did you safely remove that leaded paint and protected yourself in doing so? Again, this cabinet is a real show piece 🎉👏👀
Thank you very much! Because the paint stripper was not working on the lead paint, I had to mechanically remove it using a scraper so I did it all outdoors and used a face respirator every time I worked on it. I should have used gloves too probably but I am not very good about that. I dispose of the paint scraping at our local haz waste disposal center. Thanks for asking and for the very kind words. 🌻✌🏽
That is good to know that you took those steps to protect yourself. 👏 You truly now have a precious heirloom!
Restorasyon işi gerçekten çok zordur.İğneyle kuyu kazmaya benzer.O kadar güzel restorasyon yapıyorsunuz ki özenmemek elde değil.Teşekkürler
Çok nazik sözleriniz için çok teşekkür ederim!
😮WOW 😍😍😍
È un gran bel lavoro 👍👍👍👍👍
Bravissimo ‼️
Un saluto da Roma 🇺🇦❤🇮🇪
Grazie mille e ciao a Roma, mia figlia sta arrivando lì in questo momento. È una città adorabile. ✌🏽🌻
You did a beautiful job. I have one I restored my grandmother gave to me. It was totally black varnish. I stripped it in high school for FHA project. My grandfather built it in the 1930s. I love it. I am now 75 years old. You are great!
Thank you for sharing and for writing such kind words. I am happy you enjoyed this project.
Oh my !
Je suis littéralement sous hypnose
Fascinant, fabuleux
Sauvetage extraordinaire
Merci pour ce meuble et pour le partage
M A G N I F I Q U E!!!!! Vous avez redonné vie à ce meuble maltraité au fil des années et mourant !!!! Bravo, vous êtes doué. Félicitations!!!! Ce meuble est solide et sain pour au moins 100 ans maintenant... 😊😊😊
Merci pour les mots très gentils! J'espère que cela pourra durer encore 100 ans. 🤞🏾🌻
This was a treat to watch such an amazing transformation! I loved your quick thinking with the makeshift steamer great idea. Oh and the train sounds made me chuckle for a moment I thought I was a work lol.
Thanks Melanie! The train can be a bit of pain sometimes while filming. The camera really picks up the sound.
This is absolutely gorgeous. I love the dark finish you chose, and the work you put into disassembling and reassembling the whole thing is staggering. Watched you taking off all of those layers of paint had me mumbling “there ought to be a law” because just slapping paint on the beautiful wood should be a crime!
I like your pets, too. They’re such good supervisors!
Thanks! There was a lot of paint on this one. Based on the number of different species of wood on this, I think that it was originally painted from the maker. I'm so please at how well it turned out.
Absolutely stunning! I watch a lot of restorers of miscellaneous items but this is by far one of the best videos I've ever watched. The meticulous labor of love that you put into this discarded street side item was just incredible. You sir are a true artist and Craftsman. I quite enjoyed watching this video, with your animals, and a sense of humor all rolled into one, and I look forward to the next.. Thanks so much for sharing. 😊
Thank you for the very thoughtful comment. I appreciate it. 🤗🍀
Labour of Love ❤🩹
Incredible work, I'm sure the original maker would be very proud!
That would be incredible. I need to research the company some more to see when happened to it. It is from a local furniture maker back in the early to mid 1900s.
Geen fancy tools, alleen maar fantastisch vakmanschap. Ik sta in bewondering !!!
Hartelijk dank voor uw vriendelijke woorden. Ik ben blij dat je van dit project hebt genoten.

Γεια στην Ελλάδα! Ευχαριστώ για τα πολύ καλά λόγια. Νομίζω ότι θα επισκεφθώ τη χώρα σας αργότερα φέτος. Είναι όμορφο. Ευχαριστώ που επισκεφτήκατε το κανάλι μου. ✌🏽🌻
I’ve been looking for a cabinet just like this for my bedroom. I definitely wouldn’t have brought your cabinet home to work on. I’m 75 and don’t want to work that hard. Awesome job Matt. Thanks for sharing.👍👍💕💕
You are so welcome and thank you for leaving such a nice comment. 🌻
Beautiful work, love the colour. Thank you for this video. Wonderful seeing it returned to as it was, and all perfectly cared for and restored and healed its wounds.😊
Thank you very much! I am very happy that you enjoyed it and I hope to see you in the next one! ✌🏽
Until I watched this video, I never would have believed anyone could repair that damaged piece. Even better you mostly used the original wood. When you need to add patches, the repairs were seamless. I loved the final color choice. Repairing and reusing the original hardware was a chef’s kiss. I hope you were able to sell it. If not it will be a beautiful piece to pass down. Thanks for sharing.
Hi. Thanks for a kind and thoughtful message. I have not tried to sell it so right now it sits in my dining room. I love how it turned out. Not bad for a garbage pick find. 🍀
Wonderful job ! I just love your friends company : Eloise, Travis, Boomer and the other dog. The outside sound is so soothing. That is a great idea !
Thanks! The animals are great helpers. I'm happy that you enjoyed watching this. 🙂
You did a remarkable job on this beautiful China cabinet. I admire you for taking it down to all those many pieces n repairing everything that needed to be done. Many hours I’m sure that took to where it sits now. I loved how you mastered every detail n still remember how to put it all back together. What heck of fine work you did. It’s definitely a true beauty now. ♥️♥️♥️😊👍👍👍
That is very kind of you to write. Thank you for the thoughtful message. 🌷
Es ist die reine Freude, Ihnen zuzuschauen. Soviel Wissen, soviel Ehrgeiz bis ins letzte Detail. Fantastisch ;-) Grüße aus Frankfurt (Oder), Germany
Hallo nach Frankfurt und vielen Dank für die sehr netten Worte!
Wow! All that hard work was really worth it! I enjoyed every minute of your video. Your dog is beautiful & thanks for rescuing the ladybug! A 74 year old woman from Virginia, USA
Thank you so much! You are very kind to write that. 🐞
It’s beautiful! I love when a restorer takes a piece back to the wood it made from and let’s the natural beauty of it shine through. You did an amazing job!
Thank you very much!
It's so great to see you taking something that normally would end up in a landfill and restoring it to its former glory! You can't buy new furniture made this well today without paying a fortune.
Thank you for sharing this process. The end result is absolutely amazing!
I'm 66 and I remember my dad doing similar projects and he was meticulous and exacting in his work....so nice to see people today who take complete pride on their craft 👍👍
Thank you for the kind and thoughtful message. ✌🏽
Oh my word! Beyond belief, working with paint issues would put others to say bye, bye.
Seriously amazing!
There are no words to describe this transformation!
Someone did say bye bye already to this piece. I found it in a neighbor's trash pile!! Thanks for the kind words!
WOW. Absolutely STUNNING work on this piece! Truly a treasure now!
Very nice, well done from trash to treasure.
Thank you so much!
You’re the best. Restoration is awesome. I especially appreciate that you use as much of the original piece as possible and make repairs using wood (love all the little dowels), not filler or bondo.
Thank you very much! I appreciate the great feedback!
What a beautiful job you did restoring this price! A work of art. It was lovely to watch you work.
Thank you so much 😀
I like the gloves. Great to see someone taking care of their hands using sanders. Especially wire ones too. I'm loving this refurb as I inherited one similar from my mum.
Thanks!! So glad you are enjoying the process. I am not always good about wearing gloves or masks but the lead paint in this one made me a little more cautious.
Awesome, awesome job, you actually rebuilt it and restored it. I look forward to more of your videos.
Thank you! I look forward to seeing you in the next one. If you are new here, welcome to the channel!!
That’s incredible. And your animals are just living their best lives 💕🐾🐈⬛🐕🐕🦺
I'd say they are for sure! Thanks!! 🐶
This was awesome! I like how you took it all apart and actually fixed it, besides sanding it all down and staining it such a beautiful color. Thank you for sharing such a nice video. I look forward to the next one. 😁
Thanks for the kind words! The next one will be a classic oak desk from the same time period. Found it at an estate sale and it's been outside for years so some work is required. Stay tuned!
Looking forward to it! 😁@@Restorology
WoW 🤩 Absolutely Stunning 🤩!!!!!
Thank you SO very much! 🤗🌻
