To be fair, though... I would have just painted or put some paper over the interior shelf lol. It didn't look to be quality wood or anything. Also, when an item is just a thin veneer that is already chipping (nearly 100% of TH-cam refurbishing videos are these), I don't see the harm in just using wood filler and paint.
@@catofthecastle1681 What did I say that implied I was not calm? I did not use capitol letters to indicate my voice was raised nor did I use exclamation points at the end of my sentences to express a very strong feeling. I simply expressed my appreciation of the restoration of a piece of furniture to as close to it's original condition as possible.
There’s nothing wrong with chalk paint. Yes, some furniture should be restored to its original beauty, but some pieces look better with chalk paint, or any other kind. I do appreciate your thoughtful opinion, however
I've been absorbing many DIY refinishing videos these past 2 months. I have 3 favorites, and you have just joined them. You make the process and the rationale for each thing that you do so very clear. I'm getting geared up to work on some pieces over the summer. Your instruction will help greatly.
Beautiful job. I love these Art Deco cocktail cabinets. How amazing this one still has its original light and lethal-looking cocktail sticks with which to commit an Agatha Christie murder. I appreciate your commitment to authenticity and retaining the original elements and not replacing them. Wish everybody had that attitude.
@tom moncrieff you're right about those cocktail stickers, I've skewered myself on mine a couple of times then worried about Tetanus! I'll definitely do the sanding trick to remove all the rust. Great video! Xxx
I have a dressing table that I wanted to fix up for 20 or more years, which I finally tackled a few months ago. Used exactly your method to remove the finish, blades and sanding. Difference is that I disassembled the piece as far as possible, it's just easier to get into the little nooks and crannies. I was under the impression that it was made in the 60s or 70s, great was my pleasure in finding 1941 date stamps on the back of the mirrors! A well worth while little project that turned out really nice. The badly rusted steel fittings were soaked in vinegar for 48 hours and scrubbed with a kitchen scourer, they have a nice "antique" patina to them now.
You do wounderful work i am so very glad to see that there are people who still value vintage and antique items . There is norhing like seeing the true potential in an beautiful peace brought out . i for one would love to see a nother liquor cabinet , vanity and vanity bench anything old that deserves a second chance to be treasured. Thank you for the vedios i hope to see more of them. .
I have a vintage cocktail cabinet very similar to this but with glass sliding doors. I thought it was in pretty good shape until I say the after. Now I want to mine to look gorgeous like this one.
Wow, beautiful job! Thank you for actually restoring it and not paining it like so many others would have. Break my heart when people paint vintage furniture like that.
You've certainly got the products. I took a wooden tv cabinet and made a bar cabinet out of it. Spray painted to give that mid century style, added racks and above interior lighting. Also added hairpin legs. I may say, I was impressed with myself! Love turning old furniture pieces!
My first watch. All of a sudden I knew to delay my bedtime and it was worth it. Thank you for a detailed show of how you fixed things and took the care to make it live again. Not painted Willy nilly ,slapping on a coat of white in this case. Thank you. That woodgrain now is worth it to the owners
That was a very beautiful job. As far as the hardware, you can boil that in some hot water and vinegar, and then let it soak. Take a toothbrush and then rinse it off with warm soapy water, it should take all that rust off of the hinges and everything else . You could use oven cleaner, just lay the pieces out on newspaper, spray it and let it sit. It works good on metal .You use it when you clean your oven racks so, why not one rusty nails and rusty hinges .I think that will work for you, it's just a tip that I learned. But whichever method you use is easiest for you, then continue to do that .I enjoyed this video. I would like to see more ,have a blessed day.
I restore furniture as a hobby some of my best finds have been painted with enamel paint and the horrible pink undercoat so common back in the era its a beast to remove but worth it for the wood underneath hello from Australia new subscriber here.
I absolutely love those Art Deco era soft corners and the use of wood grains--just gorgeous, and you've brought that one back to vibrant, useful life. Beautiful.
I’ve been watching a large majority of your videos on restoring old furniture and have to say they have been so helpful, thank you so much for sharing these and seeing a pro in action 👍
My mum in law had an identical cabinet back in the 60s/70s.It was her pride and joy,full of glasswear and half a bottle of cherry brandy(a christmas gift from way back!)
This came out beautifully! So wonderful to see furniture restoration which brings it back to its original glory (and doesn’t involve painting it!). Great job and would love to see more!
Yes keith video everything it's all most interesting plus it's nice to know your partner is getting involved always good for people to work together on good projects
Wow. This is incredible to watch, a true quality restoration of beautiful wood. I hope to see more and learn from you. A lot better than all the "flipping" I keep seeing. I want to learn how to maintain and respect wood work, not just paint it!
Yes please do the other video You do very nice work. I like how u take your time both in explaining what your doing and working on the item. Thank you for all the tips
I love this piece! I am so glad it wasn’t painted. I especially the hinges weren’t painted! I don’t care if it is painted or not. My pet peeve is painted hinges.
Found your video by accident, and it was great to watch as I have a couple of veneered pieces of furniture that i want to restore. Learning that I can actually sand these pieces rather than having to paint over the veneer makes me so happy! Thanks 😀
Very nice, thank you for the explanation of each step it really helps me. I would love to see veneer repair, I have an old desk that needs a little TLC and replacing some of it's veneer. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, and please continue. I look forward to your next video
Really loved watching this video. It's a very satisfying thing to see something restored. Even more satisfying when the work is done by the kid from "Home Alone" after he's all grown up!
You did a great job. I often restore pieces for friends. Each is a challenge bring learning opportunities. My "pay" is restoring an important piece of furniture that means something to someone. Love your videos.

It is so refreshing to see vintage furniture being properly restored rather than "updated" with a coat of paint or worse chalk paint.
To be fair, though... I would have just painted or put some paper over the interior shelf lol. It didn't look to be quality wood or anything.
Also, when an item is just a thin veneer that is already chipping (nearly 100% of TH-cam refurbishing videos are these), I don't see the harm in just using wood filler and paint.
I agree, I think painting old furniture looks ghastly
That’s why there are alternatives for people who like different things! Calm down!

Yes. I would love to see how you go about replacing/repairing damaged veneer. The cocktail cabinet restored nicely.

Lovely to see old pieces restored....more please! From: South Carolina, USA
Fantastic looking restoration. I am sure I speak for many when I say we are pleased to see everything you work on.

TRY USING COKE OR PEPSI TO REMOVE SCREWS FROM NOBS
Nice job. Would love to see the other cabinet video. Thanks
Thank you, I will follow those steps on an art deco fall front bureau
The finished cabinet looks fabulous! ..
Really helpful video for an interested beginner. 9 hours to restore shows how efficient you are. Might take me much longer

Would like to see the other cabinet being redone.
He did one exactly for it for his brother. It is somewhere on his channel.
Great tip on the sandpaper fold technique.

Definitely would love to see the other cabinet. Really appreciate your restoration videos.
I absolutely love the finished color and grain on the wood
Beautiful restoration. I'm a hobby woodworker and am planning to make a cocktail cabinet so this design has given me some good tips.
