    Hello friends, this is a special project, this piece is about 500 years old, it is made of the wood of the Urs tree, the wood is very hard, beautiful and durable. The carpenter of this piece created the pieces of this chest with the woodworking tools of that time, such as the wood ax and the caveman, each of these pieces is unique and smooth from the outside and carved in a special way from the inside (this is a Can there be a reason, you tell me?), the carpenter made this chest without nails and wooden pins and every nail in the body of this chest was hammered to secure the chest in time, and we will return this chest to its original state.
    This house is 1200 years old, which was destroyed three times for some reason, and the last reconstruction was 500 years ago. It is made of earth and wood. No one has lived in this house for about 40 years. My only wish was to restore this house. The purpose of forming this channel was to restoration this house, which was not done after two years...
    Thank you for helping us by sharing and liking this video...

    Interesting video and a good restoration but as a chemist I did raise my eyebrows at your home made cleaning solution. Without going into the chemical equations, what you are doing is adding two acids to an alkali with the result that you are simply creating some pretty inert sodium salts in a neutral solution. The fluid you produce isn't cleaning the furniture, it's simply the action of you agitating the wet surface with wire wool to dislodge the dirt. You would be far better off, and it would be far cheaper, to use a mild detergent. Don't waste money when you don't have to.

Also, holes have been created by modern iron nails and we have tried to fix them and give life to this box again.

    Beautiful job. Thank you, (and good luck on the old house itself, stay safe under that old propped up roof! looking forward to see how you make it happen !)
    The old nails at least kept the piece in use and not ending up in the fireplace! Lovely to see it fixed and put back together as done by the first maker.
    if you can get ahold of one, a hypodermic needle/ syringe makes a great tool for getting glue into slim or tiny places a bit more easily. Just rinse them out immediately!
    You may find a specialty glue syringe at a big tool store, depending on your closeness to a big city. (or if it can be ordered online and delivered nearby to you)
    But a thin knife does work, and the thread/dental floss was a great idea to spread the glue. We save old toothbrushes to use for larger areas, lol .
    Old- fashioned hide glue I have seen used in restorations, as being almost identical to what would have been used originally long ago (if they were indeed gluing any areas at all !)

      Thank you, my friend, for your meaningful comment, the reconstruction of this house is very expensive, we cannot afford it, but I will try my best.
      I am still thinking about the carpenter's masterpiece, special wood, special skill, special chest. (You must have noticed that I did not oil the inside of the chest, the reason is that our carpenter wets the curved parts of the chest by adding water, the curvature of the parts increases and the chest becomes stronger)
      About the syringe and the carpenter's knife, I will definitely get it.
      It was an old glue for this wood, it didn't work very well, but it was great with this glue. I didn't try the skin glue
      Thank you for your comments, guidance and support, have fun...

    It's a lovely piece. Was it a grain chest? One suggestion.... since sesame oil is not a great long lasting finish, have you consider applying a high quality hard wax over the oil or other longer lasting finishing technique. It may be the sesame oil was commonly used on furniture when this piece was made, but a longer lasting finish will give it more protection.

    • @CreativeIdeasMaker
      @CreativeIdeasMaker  Місяць тому +1

      If we wanted to renovate in today's style, yes, we could use very high quality coatings, but the important thing is about the wood you use. This type of wood was covered with this sesame oil in the past because of its penetration into the wood and because of the color and gloss it gives to the wood.

Of course, because of the history of this chest, we have restored it and tried to use the traditional woodwork of the time and removed the extra iron nails that were added to it, which distorted the originality of the chest. I'm glad you enjoyed the skills and techniques used in this video.

      Hello, my Canadian friend, I did this in the style of our ancestors, I want to say what no one said! I did not apply sesame oil inside the chest, there is a reason, this chest is a smart chest, if the parts of this chest loosen after a while, by splashing water inside it, the whole chest will be strengthened, I will give you a special piece of an ancient carpenter. I submitted, you will understand this issue by taking a close look at the structure of the parts of this chest...

    The grain is very fine, almost as fine as the grain in the ancient Huon Pines that live for 1,000's of years in the wilderness of Tasmania, Australia. When the English took control of the Island State, they felled Huon Pine indiscriminately, and used it for boat building. Now the trees are 'protected' and can't be logged as 'live' wood. Only dead trees can be harvested

    • @CreativeIdeasMaker

      Brought it back to life??!!!!
      It was never dead!!! Was it!!???
      Several hundred years were simply removed. Obliterated. Erased. And tossed away. Unfortunately
      Big difference between repairs, restoration and conservation!!!
      Conservation is the least intrusive but much more honest and least destructive of the methods for preservation.
      A 500 year old piece should not look 100 years old, now should it?
      A 80 year old woman with a tight, new face lift, so she looks 60, is just not attractive. It fools no one!
      It just looks bizarre! Tragic even!!!
      There is nothing wrong with something looking its age. Whether it is in human form or something someone has made. Or something from nature---- an old tree, a rock formation, or fossils.
      I honestly preferred the chest before he gave it the 'face lift'!

    I genuinely enjoyed watching the video. Regardless of the article’s age, made, quality etc, I believe restoration alone is quite a tedious process and requires a lot of patience , focus and aptitude for the procedure. You have done an amazing job on the chest. I appreciate the fact that u did nt cut any corners during the process and cleaned every bit of the article. For me personally sanding the old piece is preferable as it takes out a layer of dirt, gunk, wood warm damage and nasty marks. Loved what you have done. Keep up the good work.
    PS. I found the coca cola part very funny. 😅
