Restoration of the WORST TABLE

- This table was made around 1950´s and somewhere in the 1990´s it was painted white, to hide all the problems. My goal was to restore it to its original glory. Tables like this are highly appreciated today and they cost around 700-1000€ when restored.

Title: Restoration of the WORST TABLE
#howto #howtorestore - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I'm owner of this table. Originally it belonged to my grand-grandparents. I have grand memories of spending time behind it with my grandfather and sharing grandmother delicious meals with all others. Now it is in my home, with the story behind it. I'm truly happy that I could resist temptation to do it my self. Ahti did a great job and I believe that otherwise it would have stood in my barn for several more years. Anyway, this table has sentimental value to me and is great Christmas present to my own family.
In times of 1950s the vast majority of people can't afford solid hardwood furniture (after II WW). Actually I believe that it was not even possible to by new one. Because of all that nationalization and focusing only to mass production by Soviet Union.
If this was your great grandmothers table, then why would you have it restored so completely? I would feel that the damage is part of the charm, filled with memories, and would only have it partially restored to functionality to show its age.
Such a gorgeous table. With this stunning and thoughtful restoration this can now be a piece handed down for more generations to come. May many more memories be made and enjoyed by your family around this very beautiful table!
Gorgeous table!
So happy that you have a piece of furniture to share good times today around. Hope you make many happy memories for you and your family at this table.
@@martinvho What a strange comment. If his Great Grandmother were alive, what do you think she would prefer? Of course, she would like to see the table as good as the day she bought it new.
The way that it kicked and screamed and refused to open for more than one person in the beginning is EXACTLY how I feel when my family drags me outside to spend time with people. I felt that, little table...I sure did. LOL

The fact it comes with a free nail is all the reason needed to buy it.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Best comment! You win!!!
😅

Oh my goodness........... patience is golden.
I was cringing when the veneer removal started.
Hours and hours of hard work.
Well done
The table was free, with the purchase of a nail.
Thank you for another engrossing video. Your patience is matched only by your skill.
The quality of your work is extraordinarily. It is so nice to see furniture restored rather than being discarded.
I can hear you now telling your wife, "I can't come now, dear. I'm ironing the furniture!" Excellent job. The table looks really great. Looking forward to your 2023 videos.
Браво. Это бесподобно. Сколько терпения и усидчивости. Просто нет слов , одни эмоции. Так и хочется что нибудь починить . Но так не получается. Просто класс.
Тут с профессиональным инструментом-то реставрация превращается в кучу мороки, а реставрация без такого инструмента - прямой способ зае...задолбаться. Я уж не говорю о знаниях и прямых руках.
Эти столы из 50-60 годов, в моем детстве у бабушки был такой же по конструкции, круглый, раздвижной, с гнутыми ногами. Только прямоугольные вставки хранились внутри стола. И покрытие сверху было не унылым шпоном, а "шахматной доской" из светлых и темных квадратов, вписанных в общий круг.
@@khawaification а у меня точно такой же стол, только он не крашеный, а светло-коричневого цвета. лет 40 стоял у моей бабушки, и лет 10 у меня. крепкие столы были, только у него крышка из слоёной фанеры (может отслоиться от влаги). круглые столы очень хороши. если много народу, все помещаются на обед :) тем более он раздвижной. радует, что автор еще не разучился работать со шпоном по старинке. сейчас в основном самоклеющийся используют
Да
....не только реставрация но и преображение стола!!! Вы профессионально и четко даете вторую жизнь мебели! Мастеру браво!
The work you do is absolutely amazing, I don't believe I have ever seen anyone who has done any furniture restoration as well as you can. I always look forward to your videos.
Couldnt agree more Alex.
Have a look at Thomas Johnson Antique Furniture Restoration! He is from Maine, USA.
Also look at John's Furniture Repair, out of Canada - 2nd generation, amazing work
Couldn’t agree less I’ve seen way better
The restoration you do are expensive and time consuming, but I can't argue with the results. You are the best restorer I've ever seen.
I saw a better one today ;)
@@ATRestoration Don't play down your skills and dedication. Every restorer has their specific skills etc which shows once the final product is restored. This was a fantastic revival.
@@ATRestorationСтол ЦЕЗАРЬ?
Der Tisch ist wie neu. Nein, der ist NEU! Filzfuß, ein kleines Detail, aber sehr nützlich. Tausend Dank für all die tolle Videos!
Как всегда прекрасная, кропотливая работа, это стол моего детства, за таким я делала уроки, за ним собирались на праздники. Всегда немного проблемно раздвигался, надо это было делать аккуратно и без перекосов. Был почти в каждой семье, но чаще светлого дерева. "Ушёл" в 60-х, его сменили тонконогие, с прямоугольной столешницей.
That came out beautifully! So many people think painting a piece with damaged veneer will improve things. Instead, it makes everything so much worse, making the veneer bubble and lift, crack and break or chip. You took it right back down to its starting place and made it as beautiful as it ever was. Bravo!
Happy New Year!!🎊
I agree, it should be illegal to paint antique furniture!
I think we should remember that the person who painted it probably did that instead of throwing it away, and it's because of their choice that the table is here to restore.
@@BrooksMoses
I think we should remember not to paint broken veneer.
Sometimes we do the best we can with the information and resources we have at the time.
Maybe painting was the best option they had at that time. Today we have access to more information and options in restoring and reviving antiques.

A handsome and fully functional table that I'm sure will be cherished for generations. Beautiful work!
Boy that table brought back memories. My dad had cut one of those down to make a coffee table in the mid-1950s that's still in use today. I cannot imagine how long that took you to get the old veneer off. Thank you for memories of my childhood. This was beautifully done. 💖
Now that looks like an antique that's been lovingly cared for its whole life, instead of a poor, abused, dilapidated table. Beautiful job.
Теперь я знаю где живёт идеальный мужчина с золотыми руками, ангельским терпением и такой любовью к своему делу! 😍😊 С наступающим Новым годом! Спасибо за вдохновение и мастер-классы.

Интересно, что ваш комментарий не удостоили лайка даже.
Ahhh you've done it again maestro! Another ugly duckling turned into a beautiful swan. Thank you for these wonderful restorations - I have learned so much from these, and enjoy all of them. Have a happy and prosperous New Year.
This guy is the "my mechanics" of furniture restoration. And that is the highest compliment I can bestow
You made that table look Stunning!
Beautiful: the snow, that table after you finished it, and that stunningly stacked wood shed. Scary: how close you get to your fingers with that iron. Sometimes I get the urge to call out, "Be careful!"
My Grandmother had a worn out kitchen table. I never gave it much thought, till she had it refinished by a real master. You are recreating memories for your customers. Your best one yet!
That's great, it must've looked so beautiful!
Oh it looks so awesome! I loath painted furniture. What a fantastic transformation.
You turned a ghastly white painted table into a very elegant table. It is now beautiful! Beautifully restored. :)
Love the “grainy” footage! Thanks for another fine video, and thanks for all the videos this year. I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that you are a small but important part of my life and you made 2022 better by sharing your time and talent with us. Happy 2023!
Thanks Angelino!
Well said!
Always look forward to seeing Ahti's videos.
@@btmalo6817 Thanks. And that goes for my exchanges with engaged and fun commenters, too. Happy new year, BT.
Also, thank you for not playing that ghastly elevator music that so many good videos are spoilt by. We can just concentrate on your work.
Beautiful work. The little brass brush to get the deep set paint points out is a good tip!
Gorgeous!! You do beautiful work!!
Wow - superb restoration!
Потрясающая работа мастера👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
NO ENTIENDE DEL TEMA, SOLO HA FORRADO LA MESA.
Thank you for rescuing that beautiful table Ahti! I love the little hand-turned buttons that match the wood grain. One of the small details that make your restorations works of art.

If there were a contest, I think you would win the award for the most patient person who has ever lived.
Beautiful and inspiring work as always. Watching you work brings me joy. Thank you.
Какая красота получилась. Белая краска только портила такой прекрасный стол.
That table is beautiful. Another terrific job!
Beautiful result from what looked like a table heading for recycling. Also, have you ever thought about advertising as a relaxation therapist? "How to go from murderous to chill in 19 minutes."
That was some beautiful work! I love seeing old things brought back to their former beauty.
When I first watched you working on this table, I thought it was not worth all the effort. The result was absolutely worth it.
What a beautiful table! You carefully fixed it and put it back together like someone setting the table for a festive feast! Thank you for sharing. ❤
Watching your videos, there's always that feeling of inevitability that the finished product is going to look spectacular, whether its the most humble chair or the fanciest wardrobe.
Another epic job. The end result looks much better than the original paint job would have.
I watch a number of furniture restoration channels. Yours is the best. I am impressed with your thoroughness and competence. Most all of you guys excel at matching colors. That's something that takes the quality of your work to another level. Thank you for all the lessons and techniques I pick up as I watch. Happy New Year!
@harold Choate you probably did not watch the channel of @Thomas Johnson Antique Furniture Restoration
@@Akin_Cakin Yes, I watch Thomas Johnson. I agree he is excellent but AT is more precise and his degree of perfection is just a notch higher. Both men are very good and I would be happy to have 1/2 of their talent. Happy New Year!

Since I found your channel, my weekends are more enjoyable with this range of talents that you show us as a master of restoration. I've been watching the videos and looking forward to the next one. The Internet connects us with such unusual places and people and your work has allowed me and so many admirers to get to know you a bit. Congratulations! And a year of many joys and blessings for you! 🌷✨
Thanks Monica and Happy New Year!
@@ATRestoration you are so very right, monica! i'm always looking forward to AT's new videos. happy new year to you and to mr AT in tallinn. thank you so much!
Beautiful renovation!
He is a man who restores someone's memories that are about to be vanish.
Every time I watch a video, it's like a master class in restoration.
Beautiful work as always 💖
A stunning transformation!!!! Bravo!!!! Happy New Year!!!
We have one of these in a village house. Never thought they could be so beautiful!
That was quite a journey, but the end result is gorgeous!!❤
QUÉ ENTENDERÁS TÚ..!!!!,
God, I admire your proficiency, how you pay attention to the tiniest little details, and the quality is breathtaking. Keep up the good work, congratulations!
I'm sure God is saying, "Thank you."
This would pair nicely with your WWII chairs, each piece having its' own story to tell. Bravo sir, you're a master.
GOAL ACHIEVED!! MAGNIGICENT! Breath-takingly beautiful. As a child of the 50's, it makes my heart break to see beautiful, re-usable furniture like this table, being trashed and dumped. We live in a throw-away society and have not yet RE-LEARNED to Waste NOT, want NOT.
Wonderful work as always, what a fantastic little table it turned out to be.
With leaves it was 1.8 metres long, so not very little ;)
@AT Restoration well then just a nice table, my grandparents had a similar one.
Just that the leaves had brass pins and it had corresponding brass lined holes in the table.
Спасибо! За профессионализм, внимание к деталям, за то что радуете зрителей своими роликами, с Наступающим Новым Годом! Всего Вам самого наилучшего! ❤️🌈💐👏👏👏
Thank you for not giving up on a project like this... many would have stopped when they saw the condition under the original vaneer.
This just proves that wood furniture can last many lifetimes if repaired and cared for!
Beautiful workmanship
Beautiful work, as always! My favourite part of your videos is where you take everything apart - and then put it back together in the end :)
Thank you for sharing your video. Very beautiful restoration, I love your results. I hope you and your family had a merry christmas and hope for a happy new year. God bless you and your family.
I thought you would make new legs but your repairs are practically flawless.
Как всегда - великолепно! Вторая жизнь вещи. Руки и голова отлично работают.
Another thoughtful and satisfying restoration. Thanks and….Happy New Year 🎉
You never disappoint...another stunning restoration. BRAVO.
Ещё одна отличная реставрация! Я думаю,нет, я знаю, что у вас и дальше будут очень интересные работы с шикарным результатом.ВСЕ ваши работы хочется иметь дома. И этот стол не исключение!!!
It's all down to the free nail!! 😂. Seriously, this is a true labour of love. What a fab result! Like always... 😊
Oh my gosh, that table is gorgeous. So much work but so beautiful!
Beautiful job! 😍 At first glance I thought that table is far too gone to come out anywhere near decent...but Blimey! You cracked that one! I've subscribed and until your next miracle is uploaded I'll be watching as many as I can of your previous videos as possible. I love to see the trial and error parts too.. It's all about learning and improving as you go along. Thanks for a very relaxing twenty minutes. All the best from London. X
You'll find a ton of great old videos. Our Estonian magician.
@@susank4878 I know I've watch a few since I left this message a couple of hours ago. Great stuff! 😁
My late father loved working with wood, and he would have been very pleased with this excellent restoration. Well done indeed. 👏 😊
Incredible! A piece of junk becomes a treasure! Wonderful!!!
What an amazing restoration. Thank you for sharing.
Amazing transformation! Your skill is evident in every step of the process :)
Such a transformation loved the end result 👏
The care that is given this work is fascinating. I am transfixed and can't stop watching every second of the video. It is like seeing the dead brought back to life.
Magnífico trabajo, como siempre.
No sé porque me sigo asombrando de los resultados de tus trabajos, ya debería saber que eres capaz de lo mejor.
Te felicito y te deseo lo mejor para este próximo año.
Desde Aragón, España, un cariñoso saludo. 🌲☃️
You have created a wonderful one again. As usual, he made that old table look like new. Congratulations and Happy New Year!
You poured so much care and love into that.. it was a joy to watch ...here in South Africa on new years eve morning... happy 2023...
You are the BEST, thank you for teaching me how to upholster an old armchair I inherited.😊🏴🙏
WOW now that is a beautiful round table that I would be happy to own. You do such great work and glad to see that you also use the old tools as well. I don't like painted wooden furniture, it makes it look cheap when it truly isn't. Have a great day and Happy Holidays to you and yours
I love how you refinished that table. Always great watching you work. I sincerely hope you had a great Christmas and now looking forward to the New Year. Stay warm in all that new snow. Thank you for sharing your projects throughout this year. It's been great watching them and learning some great tips along the way. See you next year!!!!
Love the slight curve in the legs. Very subtle, but makes a more interesting look. Stunning transformation. Great work.
Beautifully restored so satisfying to watch you bring such an old an damaged piece back to a magnificent piece of furniture that will now survive for many many more years.
Beautiful restoration, Ahti, that truly was a mess when you started. It was well worth restoring, just for the heavily-built frame alone. Nothing spindly and delicate in that construction, I'm guessing that is the appeal of this table. Wishing you and your family all the best in the new year.
Love the free nail. And the results are amazing. Great job! Question, is it shorter than modern tables or was it the point of view?
It is just me, I´m tall ;)
I was wondering too. Maybe someone shortened the legs?
@@ATRestoration Lol. That makes sense. Lol.
What a lovely transformation.😊
Nice one! It went from looking "good for the trash" to looking brand new.
This table is absolutely beautiful. I am in awe of your talent in redoing veneer.
Happy New Year to you and your family.
Hard to believe that it’s the same piece! But, of course it is, because your projects are always amazing. Never miss one of your videos and often watch the old ones. Plus, who else uses a laser in one project, and a humble household iron in the next? Stay well, and a wonderful 2023 to you and yours! 🇨🇦💕
I am smiling from ear to ear. Such a charming and stunning restoration. It looks so happy now 😊
You make it look so easy. Great inspiration for me to tackle our old dining table.
NO INGLES
Amazing restoration! It’s like a piece of art now.
Oh ! WOW ! WOW !
What a Magnificent Restoration job you did on this family table 👏👏 ! You are just Awesome
What a change. It looks wonderful. Well done!
I have to say your wood restoration channel is the best out there, you have ruined all other channels for me. Great work on this one as well. I look forward to all your videos just to see the process and final product
Fantástico. Eres un artista y el que mejor trabajo haces. Estoy esperando siempre tus vídeos. Un saludo desde Madrid, España
This is just striking! I love round and oblong tables... Very elegant.
Once again, you have done beautiful restorative work. Thank you for showing how you do it.
Incredibly beautiful! I love the results. Very impressive.
This was so satisfying to watch! Man restoring this must cost a lot but it's so good for the environment to fix the old rather than just trashing it and buying new. I love a good ol' rebirthed furniture!
Fantastic Job! Thanks for showing. So glad, this table is treasured by the family of the former owner.
another beautiful piece saved
Looks so much like my Grandma's dining table with the dark stain. Great result!
