Antique Wooden Suitcase Restoration

[@Innperlenburg]

This just makes me smile. There's such a joy in seeing old and broken things restored and brought back to life. I love it.

[@Restomaniac]

Thank you 😊🤗

[@timtaylor1365]

I thought the box was beyond restoration but you proved me wrong. Sympathetic restoration which preserved the old character but makes it strong enough to be used for another 50 years.

[@Restomaniac]

Thank you very much 😊🤗

[@carlosandino821]

This type of wooden suitcase is well known here in Brazil, mainly because of the Turkish and Syrian-Lebanese immigrants, who were specialized in itinerant trade and peddler work.

[@LadyLeigh]

I really thought this suitcase was way beyond restoration this time! You proved me wrong and did a tasteful and sympathetic restoration. Perfectly executed including making the latches which my old dad was good at too!

[@Restomaniac]

I'm so glad you had a good time watching it, thank you very much :)

[@blinkenlights]

Beautiful work. I love how you brought it back to life, without sacrificing it's patina.

[@Restomaniac]

Thank you very much :)

[@LittleCheebs]

I love that you didn't sand away all the scuffs and scratches. This suitcase earned its battle scars, and they really add to the Old and Important look. I imagine someone kept a whole typewriter or sewing machine in this suitcase and it went on many journeys.

[@Restomaniac]

Thank you very much for your comments :)

[@Joe1935429]

Love what you have done here. And all by hand by the way. Restored, It looks like an old case, which it is, but one that has been well used and well cared for. I think it's really great to see old things respected, probably because I am one.

[@Restomaniac]

Thank you 😊

У бабушки и дедушки в Ташкенте тоже были такие чемоданы, там всегда лежало какое то старое барахло..... Для них была это память, а я всё думал почему они это не выкинут ? Они умерли, а я постарел, теперь я понял почему они всё хранили...... Я такой же стал..... Красивая работа, память о предках....

[@texanasimmons1761]

Really really nice restoration of this wooden suitcase! I love that you didnt try to cover up all the scratches and dents, you left its character. Thank you!❤

[@Restomaniac]

Thank you 😊🤗🙏

[@jennylawson1980]

My grandfather had a case similar to this. He got his on his trip to Finland. To this day it has held up.
Great restoration.

[@Restomaniac]

Thank you very much 😊🤗

[@ЮлияМ-н4ф]

Вроде простая вещь, а сколько нужно вложить труда! Отлично получилось! Я бы еще добавила маленькие металлические ножки круглые, но ведь это вещь теперь интерьерная, по этому не обязательно. Приятно там будет хранить воспоминания либо для фотосессий использовать. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Restomaniac]

Большое спасибо :)

Beauitful Old Wooden Suitcase. I don't ❤️ believe I have ever Seen one except maybe it the Movie Ma an Pa Kettle when they go to New York to visit thie Oldest Son Tom and his wife Kim. That's when I saw a Wooden Suitcase. You did a Wonderful job of Restoring the Suitcase. Thank you so much for Sharing your Passion for Restoring different ❤️ Items. Thank you for sharing this Wonderful Video.

[@Restomaniac]

Thank you very much for your nice and kind comments :)

[@HandsonRestoring]

Beautiful suitcase 🤩and you keep that great old look ! Congrats 👏would love to have one for my home decor Really don´t like when restored items look newer than new !!

[@Restomaniac]

Thank you very much for your kind words mate, I am grateful :)

[@ron.l.7735]

I like watching your videos because you repair and restore some very unique items which requires a different thinking approach every time. I also like the fact that you use a traditional repair methods without the super duper high end state of the art equipment on the projects you work on. You are a skilled craftsman , enjoy your vids ........

[@Restomaniac]

Thank you so much 😊🤗

[@lyndseybeaumont7301]

I know this is a relative simplistic piece of woodwork compared to many things and not even made with the best type of wood, but I actually really like it. I’d love something like it to display some of my homemade crafts in. It really would look great. Well done on the upgrade, it looks so much better xx

[@Restomaniac]

Thank you 😊 I admire craftsmen who fix old items well and make them look old again. Maybe not very good but I tried to make it look old and solid 😊

[@lyndseybeaumont7301]

@@Restomaniac yes, you’ve kept it’s old character wonderfully x

Parçaların yenisini yapmanız harikaydı helede kulpu yapmanız eşsiz di az çok bildiğim için söylüyorum her aşaması yapıştırma kesme vb hepsi ayrı ayrı emek çok emek istiyor ayrıca işinizi temiz yapmanızı bir türkün karaktetinide gösteriyor olmanız çok güzel tebrik ediyorum yeni videolar bekliyorum sevgiler

[@Restomaniac]

Çok teşekkür ederim :) İlginç obje bulmak mesele. Bazı parçalar tam restorasyonluk oluyor ama daha önce çok yapılmış olduğu için tercih etmiyorum, izlenmiyorlar.

[@TheOnlyAardvark]

I love this restoration. Totally in keeping with its apparent history. I suspect that it might have originally been an apprentice's test piece. It has that not-quite-experienced look about it.

[@weekendstuff]

Nice and sturdy suitcase. Lookin great again. Thanks for sharing.

[@Restomaniac]

Thank you very much 😊🤗

[@НинаВарнавская-з1ш]

Привет из Москвы! Мне очень нравиться что Вы стараетесь не использовать современный материал, а делаете из оригинала или вырезаете сами. Красивый сундучок! Спасибо за работу!

[@Restomaniac]

Большое спасибо за добрые слова и привет из Турции в Москву :)

[@kerryheath2652]

I really thought that this was a goner. It was great to see you give it new life. I have one of these that I have started to restore but it is in much better original condition so I have a better starting point. Thanks for the tips and inspiration.

Merhaba üstadım tekrar tekrar izlenecek bir video olmuş hem güzel zaman geçiriyor hemde öğretici eğitici hem sabrida öğretiyor tevafukki bende bu hafta aynı ahşap çantadan restore yaptım nacizane ama sizin gibi cesur değilim ben dolap uygulamasinda antikaplanet sayfamdan valize bakarsanız sevinirim keşke size göndereymişim valizi bi sorum olacaktı 5gun felan mı sürdü bu restorasyon

[@Restomaniac]

Merhabalar, teşekkür ederim. Sayfanızdaki valizi gördüm, buna çok benziyor ama o çok daha iyi durumda. Klipsler eksik gördüğüm kadarıyla. Ben bu bavulu üç hafta kadar önce aldım ama yeni taşındığım yerdeki atölyemle uğraştığım için geç başladım. Çalışma günü olarak üç dört gün sürmüştür. Aslına bakarsanız tamirat kısmı hızlı oluyor ama aynı zamanda çekim yapmak çok zor. O da bu işin cilvesi.

[@huseyincengiz3344]

Mükemmel bir çalışma oldu, tebrikler dostum. Valizin üretim tarihini biliyor musun?

[@Restomaniac]

Teşekkür ederim :) Üretim tarihi hakkında pek bilgim yok. İstanbul'a gelişli Yeşilçam filmlerinde var ama :)

У меня есть почти такой же фанерный древний чемодан

Так и живёт чемодан неотреставрированный.
