    I really enjoy watching a restoration channel where the furniture is truly restored, rather than one where it's chopped up and painted until it's unrecognizable.

    I am so glad this client came to you and this piece fell in to your hands. I hate to see some absolutely beautiful prices of furniture falling in to the hands of these quick flip, “throw a can of paint and smattering of glitz brigade” who have no idea of the antiques they are wrecking. But you, my friend, really are a joy to watch, skill, judgement, patience and an true artists. Thank you

      nothing enrages me more than going to a garage sale and seeing a beautiful oak dresser painted turquoise blue with a fake distressed sanding...

    • @rafezetter8003
      @rafezetter8003 ปีที่แล้ว +26

      I make this sort of comment a lot on channels that wreck lovely items of furniture and almost universally I get hate from other commenters saying I have no clue what I'm talking about - despite my stating I'm a time served cabinetmaker. Too many flippers just want the easy quick fixes not actually caring about the longevity of the fixes they do, like using contact cement for veneering! - a disgusting practise that should be outlawed.

      I have purchased a few pieces from the 50s-70s and most of them were from the "throw a can of paint and smattering of glitz brigade" crowd. I've been slowly working on removing all of that and trying to restore them.

    • @jgprice9990
      @jgprice9990 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      I completely agree, im a furniture restorer myself and yes i hold my hand up to painting a few pieces but in my defence they was not antiques not that pretty and the paint was tasteful. However, i fell in love with french polishing and traditional finishes to the point that now i dont go near paint. But im with you; i hate, absolutely hate it when people just wack paint onto a beautiful piece of furniture and call it “beautiful”

    • @gusmonster59
      @gusmonster59 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      And have the nerve to call painting it restoration. I just want to slap them.

    That’s a restoration worthy of that name, not “flipping”. You are an artist.

    Watching this was like ... I'm not sure how to describe it. So satisfying? Not the right words, but watching you bring the grain alive was magic. I always love your videos, but this one was definitely magic. You could feel the love and pride you felt regarding this piece. I deal with several mental health issues, and this video was soothing to watch.

    You’ve got to be kidding?!! You molded and made those door pulls? At the start of this video, I hardly thought this little, inexpensive piece was worth your time and talent. But I was mesmerized with the veneer repairs and hardware reconstruction. You truly did make a silk purse from a sow’s ear! Thank you for sharing your talents with us.

      Would have been very expensive back in the day when it was made

    • @freethebirds3578

      I didn't read the description before watching. My initial thought was, "Why would anyone spend money to restore a cheap old TV stand?"
      A: because it isn't paper-coated particle board trash.

  • @deborahdanhauer8525
    @deborahdanhauer8525 ปีที่แล้ว +79

    I’m so happy to watch you work. I know you’re not going to do anything that would change a piece drastically, only restore what’s there and bring it to life again. That’s so different from many people these days who are painting everything or cutting it in half and making something else entirely. Thank you!❤️🤗🐝

    You are amazing. My friend has a desk bought by her parents in 1941 (or 42). I told her that I know the perfect person to restore it, but that he's in Estonia.
    I watched somebody else the other day take on a desk. She didn't restore, she renovated. I was very disappointed when she didn't take the piece completely apart. To say nothing of the painting/distressing of the wood. I had to watch one of your videos to cleanse my palette.

    Marvellous restoration Ahti. The veneer repair was a finishing class for aspiring cabinet makers. Brilliant reproduction of the Art Deco door knobs and far more durable than Bakelite. Until I started watching your channel, I've never seen Art Deco furniture looking its best. Only ever seeing it in second hand furniture dealers and quite dilapidated. As always, I look forward to watching your latest project. Cheers.
