Title: WATCH the WOW Transformation of this Art Deco Cabinet!
#howtorestore #furniturerestoration
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...
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.
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”
And have the nerve to call painting it restoration. I just want to slap them.
I could watch your videos all day if my wife would let me. Every little flaw and scratch is fixed to perfection.
Me too.
*_Like it, you did a perfect restoration._*
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.
Маэстро, браво!!! Какие тут ещё можно слова сказать, если есть глаза, которые испытывают блаженство, глядя на такую работу! Обожаю ваши видео, не пропускаю ни одного шедевра!
I'm so glad that your client could see the potential in this cabinet and that he found the right man to bring it back to life!
You are a magician with wood and an alchemist in creating new pieces to replace lost ones!
Another fine piece of work by Estonia's 'most famous' u tuber. Lovely to watch.
i am so happy every time you do the painted wood grain 😍 its such a step beyond what many other restoration channels will do. a craftsman AND an artist!
The client got back a masterpiece. The cabinet said, thank you.
My gosh but you are marvellous to watch. Another PERFECT restoration and custom made bakeolite knobs to boot. Love watching a Master at Work.
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
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.
Another very nice restoration. It was a lot of fun to look over your shoulder. Greetings from Germany. 😀👍Chris
Just wow. That veneer repair is a masterpiece.
Ahti- you're a magician. This is gorgeous. The curved veneer jig and the faux bakelite knobs! Brilliant!
I hope your friend appreciates the love that went into restoring that piece. It was a delight to watch you in action again.
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!❤️🤗🐝
The walnut looks beautiful you have excelled yourself, beautiful restoration. 👍👍👍
У меня просто нет слов. Какое внимание к каждой детали. Таких как Вы нужно в достояние ЮНЕСКО вносить. Настоящий мастер своего дела! Благослови Вас Бог!
I don't even like Deco much, but I find that gorgeous. Your taste matches your skill.
It was never boring. It just needed to be loved again.
Can't believe you made those knobs! WOW just WOW!
Holy cow!! Is there anything you can’t do?!!😍❤️
I love restoration! I get so upset when beautiful wood is just painted. Thank you for staying true to the beauty!!
Wow and holy cow I cannot believe it's the same cabinet! Terrific work!
Thank you for another great restoration been looking forward to it. I know it takes a very long time to edit these programs but I appreciate your efforts and your love for the craft. You're awesome
WoW! Who would have thought it could be so NICE!?
What can I say that's already been said. it is the WOW factor, even to making the new handles.
Wow. Just, wow.
Классная работа, шикарная реставрации. Вы мастер профи. Спасибо, лайк однозначно.
Truly you have a gift. You are gifted to see the original intent, and the potential of a piece. Stupendous restoration! Your gift is from experience, hard work and perseverance. We all need these qualities in our lives today. Your gift is from the Lord.

I am so happy to be able to watch you today, on a rainy day, with something new to see. Nice job! Too bad you dont have another video showing!
There will be another one 04.03
Beautifully sympathetic restoration of a period piece. A true craftsman at work.
6:16. I never knew flexible metal rulers like that even existed!
Beautiful job!
One of the few who I can give a thumbs up before even watching. Beautiful as always!
When you added the dark grain to the new veneer - I was blown away. Such attention to detail. Outstanding result
I don't have enough superlatives in my vocabulary to describe this restoration! The Bakelite knob replacement took this piece to another level entirely. Thank you!
I had binned it. After artisan restoration it looks beautiful. Shellac and color dye made a miracle. Tks for uploading.
I did toss an entire bedroom set, complete with vanity (with mirror) and chest. It, too, was waterfall style with the grounded top edge and bookmarked veneers going down the from and metal art deco hardware with enameling. It had a few chips in the veneer here and there and a few water rings on the tops. My husband had it when we married and I never got around to trying to make it better and finally dragged it to the curb and hung a sign on it saying it was free.
im in tears, it is sooo beautiful. i was afraid someone would paint it, i literally scream when i see 1 cutting up and painting and using sticky paper on vintage wood.
this is a quality piece and restored beautifully. tysvm for letting us enjoy the work with you. u r talented as it is an art.
Yeah, painting walnut wood, would be painful to watch.
All of this amazed me, though the putting back of everything just makes it mesmerizing. I, too, can take it apart. Now put it back together? Nope, no, nada, zilch.
Thanks for your work and attention to detail; in silence, with funny "typed over".
9:11 your veneer cradle is genius!
My only wish is I could see new restorations more often! This is #1 restoration channel and by far.
Its a small thing, but the way you removed the back board was genius. I thought how many times ive removed the back from a piece, and ended up digging it out or splitting it while i contorted myself to "become one with the furniture " in order to finish the task. Next time, i will use your idea and save myself annoyance and extra work. Once again, great job, and thank you!!😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
Love the veneer re-air and making the knobs👍
WOW you are amazing with your skill and knowledge. Such attention to the details too. You really made new knobs and fixed the spring loaded ball to hold the door. WOW!!! This is a beautiful piece of antique furniture. Love the oak and the way the veneer shows too. Have a wonderful day
Сколько смотрю ваши работы и нравятся они .Вы мастер своего дела.Как будто не людям,а себе делаете.Это очень хорошо.Так и надо все красиво делать.Молодец МАСТЕР своего дела!
bonjour de France, je suis tombé par hasard sur votre chaine, je me suis régalé… Vous êtes un magicien… Encore merci pour vos vidéos! Si toute fois vous avez besoin de jeune stagiaire de 63 ans faites moi signe.
Oh my, it's perfection.
WOW WOW WOW indeed! You are the coolest! Such a joy to watch you locate every tiny flaw and then design a way to fix it. I am in awe of your patience and skill!
An absolutely stunning restoration!
Quedó fantástico me alegro porque es un mueble muy bonito
Love the knobs, definitely worth the time and effort. In the 90's/00's I restored furniture, often a knob would be lost from the set, and I would add a new set, or the knobs just were not fashionable at the time. I never threw the old knobs out, I ended up with a huge amount of them, art deco, Bakelite, 50s/60s and 70s, all very unfashionable in the 90s, but very "in" now, I'm down to just a small box of old knobs now, as near all were re-used, I think I have only one Bakelite one left.
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.
What a magnificent job, had me glued to the screen, I love watching talented artists bring these old cupboards back to their full glory. Then to impress me further you made new knobs, unbelievable!
Шпон під малюнок коріння волоського горіха - поза конкуренцією в ті часи, коли зроблений цей експонат. В моєї бабусі була така шафа, я там ховався в дитинстві...
Дуже приємна реставрація, з повагою до дрібниць. Навіть ручки дверцят відлиті з оригіналу. Я б на верстаті виточив пару, і баста, а тут он як.
Моє шанування!
I'm in awe! You made pulls! Wow!
That did turn out great!
So fabulous! Your client must be thrilled 😊
Как всегда получилось замечательно. Вот эта скругленная отделка выдаёт сразу довоенную мебель, такие остатки декора в стиле арт-деко...
A new life for good old cabinet😌 Amasing look!
You now owe me a weekend. I've been watching your videos non-stop 😅 Riga watching You.
You are not a furniture restorer. You are a furniture artist. Always amazing and astounding us. Bravo!
You are a restoration magician 😊 this piece is absolutely stunning !
Beautiful! Being so meticulous is the sign of a true master, kudos to you!
Your title is correct! I love that you detail the bull on the pieces. You are a clever & talented man! ( and sometimes funny too!)
mhhh, the crispy sound when removing excess veneer 😍
Ваше подход к реставрации похож на работу сапёра. Чёткие выверенные движения без ошибок👍👌
Nice job! I’m a decorative art restorer from Philadelphia, USA. I like the representation with the ‘Philadelphia Cream Cheese’ container. 😂
Good lord, what a coincidence! :)
Another triumph! One thing I never seem able to do is match stain. Always get it wrong! Keep making these wonderful videos! Thank you.
The best restoration of a cabinet on TH-cam. Ahti, you are truly a master of your craft. I humbly thank you that you show us your work. Best wishes, Erik.
I am so impressed by how you this little gem back to life. I would have been so sad to see that little piece, with such beautiful veneer and be unable to do the masterful and magical restoration you did.
Absolutely gorgeous! I love watching you work your magic. Glad to see no paint, just the beautiful wood coming through.
Wow. Beautiful job.
Beautiful ! Maybe you can do a "special" about shellac, how do you prepare and mix your own, or your special techniques about it. Regards!
I love art deco and that is amazing, beautiful.
Отличный предмет рижской мебели, работа - просто нет слов! Маладца!
Definitely the best furniture restorer on youtube.
I love your vids !!!
Wow! Thank you, I really needed this today. Yesterday was a horrible day at work (we had to do an active shooter plan...for a retirement community >.
I know you're really good but when you start matching colours I can see that you're truly a master!
Привет, ни в сказке сказать, ни пером описать! Волшебник!😊
OMG, that was BRILLIANT ! 🙂
Beautiful, precise work. You made me miss my Dad and Mom; they would partner on a job like this. Dad was the woodworker & Mom was the stainer. I don't think they ever made door pulls like this, though.
Изумительно!!!! Браво мастеру!!!! Мои восхищения!!!!👏👏👏👌👌👌👍👍👍
Imagination and experience make your work seem like magic. Well done.
Como siempre, una maravilla, es un placer verte. Un cambio espectacular.
Trabajas al detalle...esos toques de barniz...perfecto
Saludos desde ANDALUCÍA ESPAÑA 😉
Hope your client appreciated the attention to detail that you bring to all your hard work. Beautiful
W O W !!!!! Ahti, you are amazing! Your detailing is exceptional! Watching you work is a pure joy. You are definitely an ARTISTE!!!
Давно смотрю ваши видео, у вас золотые руки!
Amazing !!! You can restore everything ! Congratulations !!
I see many pieces of furniture that could be worked to enhance the beauty of the wood and restore it to it's full glory, if the restorer had the skills to do so. I've also seen too many that have slapped on some paint and called it good. It is always a delight to watch you remove & replace only what is damaged and then apply the proper finish to let the wood glow.
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
What an incredible transformation! You sir are an artist! My only complaint is that we don't live closer to each other so I could come apprentice with you and learn from a master.
Wow, amazing 🤩🤩
Pięknie odrestaurowany mebel. Podziwiam umiejętności pana Stolarza i oglądam z wielkim zainteresowaniem. Martwię się że nie ma nowych odcinków.
Wow,wow,wow! When I first saw it, I thought, I don’t even know where you would start. You did an incredible job.
Magnificent, as always! My wife was ready to fly to Estronia and buy this from your client! Gotta admit, it's gorgeous! Thanks again Ahti for your awesome work and videos. We always look forward to the next one. God bless. Rev. D.
Hehe, thanks Rev. D!
You are just amazing. So much talent…❤
You are my addiction of choice. You take the abused wrecked and awful and turn it into a shining gem once again. Stunning restoration
This turned out so pretty. Like candy for the eyes!!! Thank you! Excellent job. ☺️
Классная работа! Профи! Как будто только что с мебельной фабрики! Респект от коллеги!
