    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.

    The veneer work is impressive. I am slowly becoming a convert.

    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.

    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"! 👍👍👍👍👍💯💖💥

    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!

    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.

    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.

    • @ATRestoration

      Sometimes choosing the colour is the hardest part, because of the different lighting and different materials.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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. 🤟🏼🤍
