Thank you for sharing these videos with us. Success for you!🌹👏🌹
Anyone else would have given up on this 100 year old cabinet. You rebuilt it, and it is ready for another 100 years. Absolutely beautiful. You look so intent when working on a project. LOL Concentration, attention to detail, patience, and pure skill. Do you think your kind of skill is dying out?
@@ATRestoration It is so nice to know that the woodworking skills are still going on somewhere in this world. Maybe you would make a good teacher eh? Thanks for responding
The work you put into that one little handle was amazing in itself. I certainly hope that you get paid well for what you are doing and are appreciated for your talent.
Of all your superpowers, the one I admire most is your amazing ability to match stain colors across old and new wood. It's seamless. I can't imagine how much time and experience went in to getting that good at it.
OMG!! Is there ever a piece you don't repair because it would have to be completely rebuilt? You are an amazing craftsman. I just found you and watch you repair and give beauty back to the 1930-1940 nightstand.My favorite part of that video was watching you expertly chisel the new detail. I was in awe. Thank you for sharing your work. It is quite enjoyable.
Not many people would tackle a job like this, but you do it so well. I really love watching you breathe life back into these neglected gems. Thank you for what you do and thanks for sharing it with us.
I love watching your “silent movies”. This one is especially interesting for the way you made the new drawer pulls. A small detail that makes so much difference. So much knowledge and talent.
It makes my heart sing to see you restore these old furniture items. Thank you for appreciating and looking after them and giving them many more years. 💖
Brother, it's a fact: God gave you not only incredibly skilled hands, but a deep passion for what you do. Most would have consigned that cabinet to the firewood pile. It is a true pleasure watching you ply your trade my friend. Thank you again for sharing your videos with us. God bless. Rev. D.
Какой же Вы молодец! До сих пор не пойму, что же заставляет меня наблюдать за Вашей работой! Завораживает! У нас дома тоже почти вся мебель была сделана руками отца...
Such impressive workmanship, skill, attention to detail and a determination to preserve the 'old' rather than throw it away and get new.... I love your whole philosophy. Your passion and intention is wonderful. Many Blessings from Australia 👌👋
Great to see restoration like this. There are others who modernize pieces like this, but personally I prefer a sympathetic restoration that connects to the history of the piece. Always fantastic to watch a master craftsman at work. Thank you so much for sharing your work.
Люблю мастеров с золотыми руками и ясной головой. Для меня каждое новое видео этого канала - праздник души! Жаль, что редко, но работа сложная, требует много времени и сил. Спасибо!!! ❤️👑🌹👍
Станков у мастера на несколько сот тысяч евро я думаю. Сколько должна стоить работа, чтобы оборудовать такую мастерскую? Если это только не хобби богатого человека.
@@yurborisovichpinhasik8039 незнаю насчет мастера этого ролика.Но мой муж специалист в другой области.Приходится ему брать кредиты в банке что бы купить нужное оборудование,что бы не отпустить клиента и сделать работу качественно .
Loved this old cabinet and the care you showed to it. Most people would have thrown it out because of the woodworm alone. But it looks beautiful now and ready for a nice long second life🐝❤️🤗
Hi. Andy here. I follow you for months and see everything you do with those pieces and I have ONLY one thing to tell you … I love you with all my heart. ❤️❤️❤️
After watching your videos I can’t believe how well you restore furniture. My initial opinions….trash, crap, disgusting, useless and worthless diseased garbage. Then you transform 😅 the furniture into a piece of art that will be cherished for generations. You deserve unlimited praise for your gifted skills.
I actually had tears in my eyes after seeing the true beauty you brought out of her. You do magnificent work. You even made the handle too. Never get enough of watching you. ♥️♥️😊👍👍👍♥️
Really! Now 'outed' as a tool and die maker. Your skill level across the board has me hooked on these videos of yours. Keep the quiet 'watch as I do this' format. Your narration is spot on and It keeps the viewer glued (maybe literally!) Master Craftsman and redeemer of furniture. The wannabe's couldn't touch these pieces. After binge watching several, this is the comprehensive video on rebuilt from the floor up and it still looks like an antique. Wow.
WOW that is beautiful!!! You took a broken down piece of furniture and made it reusable. You honestly can't even tell that one of the handles were broke or that it was completely falling apart before you started. I like that you are so knowledgeable on the pieces that you work on. Beautiful work. You have a great day
Amazing. When people talk of making good things out of firewood, they mean better than what you started with, and half as good as what you finished with. Awesome work.
Even watching the deconstruction is delicious! And when you put it back together, you are a 1st Class cabinet maker. You also shine at reproducing cabinet hardware. Wonderful, just wonderful!
What a beautiful cabinet. Such a masterful restoration. Wow, you needed to rebuild so much, yet it still looks unified and original. Thanks for sharing this.
Fashioning a drawer handle from a nail was genius enough, but then brass plating it with heat a a brass wire brush. My gob is well and truly smacked, thank you so much!
I’ve never seen a cabinet in such bad shape before! Only a great craftsman could have restored this. I enjoy these so much and look forward to seeing each one.
All that worm damage...holy smokes! And can we all just marvel at the brilliance in creating the new drawer pull? Melting brass bristles onto iron...genius!!
Amazing save of a vintage cabinet. Loved your approach and techniques to the save! Most would have called it firewood. Very interesting joinery and assembly! Not typical anymore and difficult to do well. Thanks very much for sharing your passion and techniques with us!
Smiles. Not me. This beauty of a cabinet. I heard it weeping. But once you started in on it the despair turned to joy. She felt the greatest relief when she knew you were there to help. Hubby said it wasn’t worth the effort. I said just wait. Now he agrees. Such a beautiful cabinet now. And all because you knew her potential. Thank you for sharing this with us. Awesomeness.
Great work! You are the restoration man! I wish I had half your talent. (And some of your tools!! lol). Appreciate your videos and the style in which you execute them. This cabinet is awesome, great tricks with the handle, very clever! Thank you!
Brings back memories. I had a furniture refinishing shop for years. We repaired, rebuilt, refinished and even built some furniture. At least the person didn't paint the piece. That's about all you see in recent years. It requires no skill.
That is incredible craftsmanship! I love watching your videos they are fascinating. I've watched you fabricate so many things, missing carvings, and now metal drawer pulls, just amazing skills!
So happy to see another video! They always relax me and make me feel happy to see such old abandoned pieces receive so much care and attention. Thank you!
wow, Mr! your re-creation of that latch was amazing! also the filming was so good I kept thinking I needed to put my goggles on to keep the metal fragments out of my eyes. thank you for caring TO restore the cabinet AND thanks for inviting us into your workshop!
Another fantastic furniture renovation Ahti! Highlights for me: Clampomania! and how you used the metal brush to plate brass onto the door handle. Another thing I always admired is your patience with using shellac to achieve such a beautiful finish on your pieces; you are a Shellac Whisperer!
I cannot believe that you replicated the handle! Loved the green glass and the overall restoration. I think you may be one of the best restorer in the world. Great job again! 😊
Great job! You have taken what was junk and turned it into something anybody would be pleased to have in their home. Thanks for sharing your ideas and obvious skills with us. Best wishes. :)
I picked up two great insights which have been sitting right in front of me all these years…1) the way you matched the dovetail and 2) the plating technique using the brush. Outstanding. Thank you! - Phil
Such a gorgeous and authentic restoration. A very fine treasure to have restored back for practical use. Great use and explanation of your techniques. I'm envious of your wide assortment of tools.
Quite apart from the enjoyment of seeing a piece of junk transformed into a useful and attractive item of furniture, I really appreciate you sharing your craft and experience with us, especially the little "hacks" such as 1:58 and 5:02 Thanks!
I would have had no idea what to do with a piece like this- I love the style but don't have the skill or tools to revive it the way you did! Nice work and thanks for saving this little slice of history.
I binge watch your videos over and over. I love how you restore these pieces. Honoring the craftsmanship of the time, rather than trying to "Modernize" it.
Beautiful job! You should make patterns off furniture like that! It was beautifully made originally, and you did an outstanding job with the restoration!
Excellent restoration of a very sad piece! If furniture could cry, this piece would have been weaping inconsolably. Now this restored beauty is singing a happy song, you just need to listen carefully to hear it. 😁
Wow. I'm speechless. You are by far the best wood working guy on TH-cam. Any script kiddy woodworker can sit down, and follow some plans. Not many can take an old broken down piece of furniture and make it better than new. Outstanding!!!!!!
Such lovely work. A real carpenter and craftsman. It is so evident you know your material, tools & equipment and you know how to improvise to achieve results to look as original as possible and made to last. You are a rare find and I'm sure those blessed to have found you, know it too. Us out. here in internet world can only long and dream. But Thank You for sharing your beautiful work with us.
Hard (impossible?) to tell new wood from old. And that broken handle repair - including the brass plating - was amazing. I assume the insects were long gone before you got the cabinet. Or did you have it fumigated? I’m doing some work on termite damaged exterior cladding and all I can do is cut off and replace any ground contact pieces and soak the rest in multiple coats of an insecticide treatment - and hope for the best. Thanks for the video.
@Robert Bamford try using “Bifenthrin” it’s strong enough to do the job on the termites, and mild enough to use on dogs, cows, horses, etc Always follow instructions for mix rates and application techniques.
Outstanding learning video for me... 24 minutes of me shaking my head wondering why I never thought of some of the things you think to do to save these furniture pieces. The new handle idea would NEVER have occurred to me and even if it had, I would not have started with a nail for sure!!! Keeping true to the methods of jointing in the days of old is another place your skills excel. Looking for ward to the next video. I have retired and moved to the Philippines and here we have a plague of issues with tiny beetles that eat wood as the European worms do. Looks about the same, but they are everywhere and eat almost every species of wood. I fight them here on my mahogany desk top by splitting tiny spears of bamboo driving them into the holes, normally 5 to 8 mm deep and trimming them flush, and covering the white wood with a stain or dye. They die from lack of air and stop. The only way I have found that works for these beetles. Well under 1mm in diameter, but if left, they will drill dozens or even hundreds of holes. Kill them in place without chemicals is my idea...
Looks better than any new cabinets, it feels good that you always respect the exact time of the furnitures and your empathy when ever they are built. 🙏 For teaching us!
Awesome work. I'm restoring a antique Hoosier cabinet for my wife. After seeing what you accomplished with such broken cabinets I have hope I can fix mine.

Incredible. The time and effort that went into the handle was insane. By far the greatest furniture restorer on TH-cam 👍
