I am a retired Architect Interior Designer and from your knowledge of repair and various furniture period constructions I assume you may be European. In Canada and the US most of our very best craftsmen are like you and the best ones i have known and used all have a European background and training, In my long experience they are very knowledgeable about their craft and most often grew up learning it from other family members Its not just in your trade its in most of the building trades also like brick laying etc etc.. I love watching your craftsmanship and the patient way you work.. At 85 now i have worked with and known many like yourself and can appreciate your talent and craftsmanship. BRAVO....will continue watching your interesting and educational videos..
Yes, his knowledge and craftsmanship is amazing plus he has a good sense of humor! He is in Estonia, at least that is what I have gathered from watching his other videos.
Now I understand why professional antique and vintage restoration can be expensive.......and worth EVERY penny! Your attention to detail is fantastic....a true artist at work.
This was perfect as a vanity desk for me. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxMAlHv7-BBWMrPRm5-uEoD6rtdT7SG2Qr Especially the glossy finish. Easy to cleanI was looking for something that wasn't the traditional white and with more of a modern feel. This fit the bill beautifully. I put it together with no problems, by myself in under an hour.Make sure you double check where you place the drawer tracks before screwing down. I had one track that needed to be aligned with different holes than the rest.
At first glance, it didn’t seem worth the time and effort, but you made that into a show piece. You always seem to see possibilities where I see none. Beautiful!
Was dieser Mann alles macht und kann ist einfach nur der Hammer!!! Ein Künstler!!!
Ах, какой столик - классный, практичный, компактный, раздвижной, на все случаи жизни и такой красавчик! Как новенький! Многое мастер убрал, заменил, подправил, покрасил, отлакировал, отшлифовал и - "получите, распишитесь! " Волшебник, кудесник, всё как в сказке! Спасибо за видео, очень интересно видеть весь процесс - "от" и "до"! 👍👍👍👍👍💯💖💥
I think you should rename your enterprise 'Lazarus Restorations' - you've certainly brought that table back to life. Amazing work and proof that one can never have too many clamps. Bravo.
😆
I agree! "Lazarus Restorations"
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
I wish you could restore my old wood furniture🙃❤️
Or, apparently, too many scraps of protective wood!
I don't even restore furniture yet I found myself binge watching your videos. It's always enjoyable for me to watch a master at his craft. Such an incredible job you do on each piece.
Same here!
Same here, but I confess I watch other furniture restorers too. This is one of my favorites though
Another Binge watcher and amateur, former refinisher. Just love this stuff especially rescuing items and returning them to original purpose. This is God's work for furniture.
There is something relaxing and compeling watching you bring objects back to their beauty! Keep up the good work.
I never would have thought it would look that good! I’m so impressed!!!!!
I've been woodworking for 40 years and I learn something from every one of your videos. Thank you!!
Wow, thanks!
I am the 2 percent of the population that enjoys watching this type of video because it is relaxing
"In other news, markets worldwide report a massive shortage of Bessey edge clamps, following a routine purchase by AT Restorations..." ;)
I really enjoy this and your other videos - thanks so much.
The veneer work is impressive. I am slowly becoming a convert.
Always a pleasure to see how old things are valued and experienced a "rebirth".
There is a master at work, with equipment better than any hardware store 😁
Your skills creating missing table leaves is quite impressive. Fantastic job! 😊
I love that you make these like new again. I can imagine how proud someone must have been to have that in their home. Now too.
My Favourite AT ,love watching him, he is fantastic.
You are definitely a master craftsman. Such a beautiful restoration of the “leafed” table.
This table looks excellent with the new leaves installed. I love your videos.
Серединка у таких столов раскладная была (обе части крепились друг к другу) и пряталась в сам стол.
У вас золотые руки!
Вот и мне сдается, что никакой это не американец.
I love how meticulous and detail-oriented you are. Brilliant restoration!
Мастер-"Золотые руки"! Молодец! Дар от Бога.
Brilliant workmanship. You seem to always get the colour mixing spot on which itself is an art plus the fact that the wrong colour stain could spoil the piece. Keep the videos coming.
Sometimes choosing the colour is the hardest part, because of the different lighting and different materials.
I really enjoyed re-watching your restoration of that old table.
It turned out beautiful. The laminate and stain you chose really made it beautiful.
It’s so helpful that you explain why you choose the stain you do. As someone who only does sporadic projects it’s hard to gain personal experience with all the different products out there. Stain, varnish, gel stains etc. The choices can become a research project in itself. I appreciate all the learning I’ve found on this channel. Thank you!
Thomas Johnson Antique Furniture Restoration is another good channel to learn from if you're interested.
And, I knew if anyone could restore it... It would be you. Your knowledge and ability is awesome.
Your old bench with built-in vise brings back memories of woodworking class in Sweden in the 70s. 😻 I just loved how those rooms smelled.
Из хлама в роскошную вещь! Волшебство мастера! Браво!!!
You never cease to dazzle me with your artistry and skill. I also appreciate your informative text as the project evolves and I love that you don’t just jabber!
that clampwork is tremendous
Hope we choose to go this route more often. There's no need to throw out perfectly good bones, it's so wasteful. Thank you for sharing your work!
Oh well done you! You literally made a silk purse our of a sow’s ear. Fabulous. 👏👏👏
I'd describe your job as 'constantly provocing to give up without a single chance to'. Actually have no special interest in restoration, but love to see this one man vs one freacking piece of wood torture show. Somehow the man wins and it's mindblowing, such a power of will, oh my😵
You do absolutely beautiful work. I use to love playing around with trying to restore older furniture. But nothing like you do. I could watch these videos all day. Thank you for making old things look beautiful again.
Thank the heavens for clamps,clamps and more clamps.
When I saw the headline I said this I have to say it is so satisfying and interesting to watch somebody create and restore things that badly need to be fixed my hats off to you loved every minute of it😊👍
Wow, thank you!
These tables are the kind I grew up around. So seeing this restored really made my heart happy. This is the kind of table I’ve wanted the last 20 years and could never find. Fabulous restoration! 💜
Mr. AT Restoration you are great at what you do.
I agree with others that you did a very great job restoring this piece.
I am very pleased that you were able to give it 2 leaves to give the new owners versatility!
Прекрасно!
Мало мастеров которые восстанавливают вещь в первоначальном виде авторской задумки, открывая природную красоту материала. В основном наблюдала шпаклёвку и замазывание краской поверхностей. И вещь превращалась в Квазимодо! Браво, Мастер!
Thanks!
Simple but beautiful design.Great restoration.
What a rescue! Impressive! Congratulations!
Woodworking… you can never have too many clamps! 😉 excellent job
My grandmother had an unremarkable kitchen table. She had it restored, which I thought was ridiculous. Boy was I wrong, I wish I had it today. You're restoring memories, not just furniture.
I have exactly this type of dining table, in a slightly better (but not by much) condition. What a great resource, definitely using this as a reference!
Your channel is very educational. I really enjoy every video and learn from them all. As a child I watched my father woodworking and it fascinated me. I wanted to do this! Unfortunately, he passed away when I was 13. Maybe I would have been able to learn from him. I'm older now and I wish I didn't let my circumstance derail me!
Me and my 4 year old son love ur channel, your craftsmanship is astounding!
I certainly hope you got the "friends & family" discount when buying all those clamps!! 😳🤣
Every project you do is always done with such care. They look *simply beautiful* when finished. 👏👏
The true love for the clamps xxx
You have the most awesome tools as well as spectacular talent.
The light color was beautiful on this table…
Ship of Theseus comes to mind
Gorgeous!!! I liked the stain you put on much better than the original color! I agree with another viewer that your clamps are also a work of art like your restorations!! Super impressive!
Turned out beautiful, as I expected it would. I have to call you the master of clampster! Seems there are never enough clamps but you have more and so many types than I've seen before!
Спасибо! В ваших работах столько уважения к мастерам из прошлого! ❤️
I don’t know anything about furniture building and repair. But I know what I like and you do beautiful work thank you! ❤️🌵🇺🇸
Beautiful!! I am in love and envy with your clamp collection!!
I would be proud to have that beautiful table in my house!
that was amazing restoration , I never knew that there so much work into one table , but the outcome is fantastic
Watching 💖 from Ottawa Canada ❄️❄️❄️
A very handsome table. Most of the time, there's just me, but occasionally I need to seat 8. Just perfect.
I like the extra info you add, it's really educational
Fantastic job... you're a true craftsman!
Просим Вас делать БОЛЬШЕ именно таких вещей, СОВЕТСКИХ, которые есть у каждого и которых валом на авито.
Absolutely stunning result 🤩. I would usually skip to the end but my cat was really enjoying it. Can't believe how much effort and patience was put in 😊
You did amazing work, the table is absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for sharing with us, I learned so much.
Such a sweet little table! You brought her back to her prime! Fantastic job! She is gorgeous!! Thank you!!
That table had a hard life! Good job. 👍🏻
Колосальный труд, какой Мастер!!! Гениальный , Молодец!!!
Thankfully you have as many clamps as you do. Clamp heaven but you do such great work. Did realize that veneer is on so many different furniture items though. Getting my education is furniture restore. You have a great day
Again a excellent restoration very good
Your work is precise and beautiful! I love it!
Absolutely beautiful! So much talent.
Just stumbled on here out of nowhere. very impressive work, very well done. subscribed.
Awesome, thank you!
Beautifully done and authentic workmanship!!!
Отлично!У бабушки был почти такой же стол,правда,светлый-березовый наверное и под прозрачным лаком.Теперь им уже праправнуки пользуются...
So this is my table! How did he get to you !? Amazing!
Так это ж мой стол! Как он к вам попал!?
Изумительно!!!
А я такой, чуть в хуже состоянии продала в музей мелкопоместных дворян
Wow! I‘m baffled… you worked a miracle!
2:22 those are some famous lines "I make new ones" - my mechanic 😁
😆
It's absolutely beautiful. You are so talented as a craftsman. Amazing job sir.
You do such beautiful work. Thank you for sharing your talent with us all.
That's a very good way to make leaves. Thanks for sharing!!
So much work involved. Impressive result...well done 👏👏👩🔧
I love watching you work. So satisfying
If u are married your wife is very lucky to have someone so talented as you wonderful work u do .
Awesome job....nice to watch someone take pride in what they do
Actually looks fun using that steamer
We are such a throw away society, nice to see a restoration, costly I am sure!
Good job! Beautiful result.
You are so skilled, talented and professional. You must have started at a very young age because you don't look that old for a Master Carpenter!
Thanks! I started when I was 20. This was 25 years ago.
You, sir, are an artist! I am amazed at how talented you are.
I think he should rename himself The Clamp Meister! 😊
Отличная работа!!! Где и в каких запасах остался ещё Eskaro!!
That was great!!! You are probably one of the greatest furniture restorers ever! That table turned out beautifully!!!!
Excellent results
I think I’m starting to understand what restoration is really about. It is having knowledge to take the bad out and put new in. But it is more so about making that new to look old like the rest of the piece. It’s kind of like full circle. Beautiful as always. Thanks for sharing. 🤟🏼🤍
Whoa!! Super beautiful work!!
Hard to beleive it's the same table. Well done!
Браво! Замечательная работа! 👏👏👏
