- This Art Nouveau cabinet was made between 1910-1930. My client restored his house and there was also this piece waiting to be saved. In this video I will do a smashing job to save it :)

Title: A SMASHING restoration work on an old cabinet
#howto #howtorestore
A man can NEVER… have enough clamps….
Once again…. Great job 👏!!!
Ok…that cabinet required major surgery. I did not believe you could repair that warped door but you achieved the impossible yet again. Your new title should be Restoration King 🤴
LOL. I love your comment, Karen, and you are so right.
In that case Thomas Johnson would have to be promoted to Restoration God
@@sebastianprzybya5966 I'm comfortable voting for that ranking. 😃

There may be a hurricane outside, but a 25 min AT Restoration video makes it a good day!
Be safe!🐝🤗❤️
Yeah, I heard it’s coming my way ( hurricane). But I’d jump on that piece to save it. It was beautiful.
Hope you guys are safe!
@@CL-we8tn Thank you. We’ll need it
Stay safe dear!
Another beautiful piece restored for future generations. Great work. Thanks for bringing us along.
Lol! The part when you accidentally broke the wood and did "restorer of the month" was hilarious! Love it! ❤️ You're very handsome too by the way
Мой дедушка был столяром и плотником что говорится от Бога. Когда он пришёл в 1945 году с фронта, он тоже сделал своими руками точно такой же платяной шкаф для бабушки. Головных платков у неё было огромное количество))) и дедушка всегда шутил что её платками можно половину города нарядить))))
Хорошая работа, кому-то повезёт его приобрести в свой дом. Спасибо.
My grandfather and his son ,my uncle, were both cabinet makers and carpenters. They both built their own houses and furniture to go in them. God bless the old builders. Back in the 1920's when you had to work with your hands.
В детстве часто пряталась в таком шкафу у бабушки в комнате, только он был очень темного цвета, на дверцах в медальонах красовались диковинные лилии (в остальном, даже растительный орнамент по верху, деревянные крюки для вещей внутри платяного отдела и замысловатые ручки на нижних ящиках такие же).Под замками хранилось самое ценное: фото из довоенной жизни, письма, документы...Как любила вместе с бабушкой пересматривать все это и слушать ее воспоминания! Каким образом шкаф начала века пережил войны и практически не пострадал?..Наблюдала за работой мастера, а душа трепетала, возвращаясь почти на 60 лет назад...Спасибо его золотым рукам!
@@ИринаТарасова-л3ц у моей бабушки тоже был подобный шкаф и в нем хранились платки.Они были разнообразные и их было так много.
У нас на даче стоит похожий. И даже дверца большого отделения отвалилась также)) просто прислоняем))) починить руки не доходят...
А сейчас посмотрела, какой же он симпатичный, с историей.
Прекрасная работа, люблю ваши видео.
Киев.
I’m all for that, Restorer Of The Month, Master Pro Of The Year
So wonderful to see an old and damaged piece of furniture given a new lease on life!
New title "RESTORATION GOD" because you bring pieces back to life. ❤
I think you have hit maximum clampage in this video😂😂😂 Why you haven't gotten clamp sponsors is beyond me, your channel deserves notice for the fantastic work you do!
Whoever crafted it originally would be so proud to see it restored to its beauty. Soooo emotional…
What a handsome old piece! I’ve never seen a wardrobe with a glass insert like that. You did an excellent job as always. It looks as good as new… maybe better than new lol! You’re a miracle worker.🐝🤗❤️
This is why craftsmen that create and restore things are worth their weight in gold
OMG!)) You literally did "the wardrobe that survived the biblical flood") Love your content and your work. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into both the restorations an the filming process.
Кроме собственно реставрации и ее результатов радуют сами отлично сделанные видеоролики. Где надо сокращено, где хочется подробнее разглядеть - пожалуйста. Комментарии в меру лаконичны. И с юмором порядок. "Реставратор месяца" - 👍🙂Смотрю всегда с большим удовольствием, спасибо!
Мои родственники жили в доме, где родились. У них были старинные шкафы и зеркала, которым по 100 лет. Родственники очень берегли эту мебель. А сейчас я смотрю, как Вы возвращаете жизнь и реанимируете дух старинного шкафа ❤
No, I'd say, "Restorer of the Century"!!! 😊
Wow....you do amazing work. Your color sense is just mind boggling, every time you get everything to match, seemingly by magic!
Maybe instead of Restorer of the Month you should be The Sorcerer of Restoration?
(^.^)
Thank you so much for posting, you just make the week better! Take care
Or maybe "Furniture Whisperer"?
That went from something that would be thrown out in the UK, to a very high end piece of furniture! Love it.
I always enjoy watching you do your magic on vintage furniture. Takes special skills. Awesome work
For what this is worth, I always give a thumbs up on your videos BEFORE I watch them; I know ahead of time that the video will be awesome, as they always are! This is no exception, wow!!! Truly amazing restoration on this piece, bravo once again. Thank you brother, as always, for the great work and videos. God bless. Rev. D.
Me too.
Väga ilus töö!!!Nagu alati,pöial püsti!!!
I see enough other people agreed with my choice of title and first photo. Always good to spend some time with you.
As for bent doors: about 40 years ago I had finished two sliding doors, app. 1000 x 2400 mm wide.
They had, due to the used timber, both a hollow of approximately 20 milimeters.
It was summer, so I laid them outdoors on the lawn in the sun with te hollow side on the lawn, the upper side facing the sun.
They started bending the other way, and when they had a little hollow in the side facing the sun I took them indoor to even out.
Of course the hollow on te backside returned but I gained a few millimeters, so I started over.
After 3 or 4 “treatments” they were perfectly flat.
When we years later renovated the house and took out the doors, they still were perfectly flat.
Awesome story! Quality of craftmanship rules!😄
I watched the entire video! You put a spell on the viewer and make him watch everything! BEAUTIFUL! AMAZING RESTORATION! Thanks so much for sharing
Now that is one beautiful cabinet!! I so appreciate your attention to detail!!❤️
each project becomes my new favorite restoration & i'm sad to see the end of your videos because that means you're done fixing all of those little disasters that brought the piece to you. now i wait for the next episode. hurry up lol
bravo 👏 again
потрясающая работа! просто глаз не оторвать, как красиво и профессионально вы занимаетесь каждой деталью! настоящий мастер 👏
I watched this later but loved the excellent work you did there.
I think this is my favorite video of yours so far. I love old oak grain
I see why you would be sad for it to go. beautiful job. I love watching your work! That is a beautiful armoire !
I'm glad you picked the "hammer" thumbnail even if it got fewer votes in the poll.
у моей бабушки был точно такой же шкаф. посмотрел как в детство вернулся....
Your usual meticulous work. But, perhaps, taken to a new level. I can see why it would be difficult to send it home.
The glass insert looks like a Craftsman period detail. Such a handsome piece that has had many adventures. Your restoration is again so perfect and appropriate, so subtle that is a testament to your skill, knowledge and commitment to authentic techniques. I have so much respect for survivors, even furniture, that can reclaim its dignity. Thank you!!
Very nice. New life to an old piece!
Oh my gosh, you do such beautiful work, and I delight in your sense of humor!
If I ever build my house I’m sending for you to do my woodwork. Your attention to detail is fantastic.
Another outstanding job! I truly enjoy watching you work, every time I say " there's no way he can save that! " You Do! Please keep the videos' coming and be safe out there!
This is one of my favorite eras of furniture-straightforward, but with a little bit of chic. I’m glad you could save it. You showed us a lot of techniques and tricks and it was very interesting. I could watch your videos all day. 👏 ⭐️
You did SUCH a good job on this one. What a lovely piece of furniture. Maybe you can buy it back from the client someday. 😉😊
My grandparents bought a house at the beach and everything that no longer fit in the city house ended up at the beach house. A couple of things were two cabinets similar to this one. Both of them were made of wood, and one of them had a mirror on one of the doors that was so old that the upper and sides of the mirror were fading. Many years later, the house was sold with all the furniture. I wish someone would have looked at the cabinets as a treasure. I am glad you were able to restore this one that I am sure will be loved for many years to come and may become a heirloom to the owner's family. Good job as usual. Blessings. 😊
What a gorgeous wardrobe piece. I’ve been looking for years for one like that. Having the drawers n all. The lead glass piece was a awesome touch. Never seen that before.
You do such excellent work. I say your a pro!
I’m know your customer is going to be thrilled to see her wardrobe looking like she did in 1910.
Your AWESOME! Love love your channel. Your the best I’ve seen.
♥️♥️😊👍👍👍👍
I think we have already established that I am your most ardent admirer. Clever clogs!
I voted for the other thumbnail. Seeing how you used the hammer thumbnail with the restorer of the year. I was wrong to vote the way I did and that was hilarious!
wow, what a transformation. You are a Ninja woodworker
Beautiful. Nothing better than rich, warm wood that glows from the perfect care.
You deserve a medal for this job! Amazing!
That turned out nice ! I'd be sad to see it go too, all the details came out great ..we'll done !
Beautiful! I was very worried about the title of the video when I saw the lead light insert 😂. I’m sure the customer was thrilled with the finish.
History brought back from 100 years ago. Very nice cabinet. The final end product looks very nice. It is better to end up in your professional hands rather than ending up in the trash.
You deserve restorer of the year! What a fantastic job.
Beautiful work! Your color matching stain work is outstanding. Glad you pointed out the replaced areas at the end, because I couldn't see them at all! Thanks for another entertaining and informative video. You absolutely smashed it!
😉👍
Thanks David for title ;)
@@ATRestoration you're welcome 🙂
I love watching how you repair and restore furniture pieces to bring them back to service for another hundred years. I am learning from you. Thank you!
Love the evil faces the hard. The beauty comes out of it. You make all this work wonderful. 😊
Thank you for sharing your video
I want to see how people create something amazing like this with their own golden hands. Something that brings just a bit of happiness! I need it now 'cause it helps me not to lose my mind realizing all this nightmare around! God, S U 💗
Although you work on different furniture and use different techniques, I rate you up there with Thomas Johnson.
You gave it lots of TLC. I enjoyed watching you work. It is back to Its Shining Glory. Job Well Done. ❤❤❤👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
You are the restorer of the month🏆 Good video, good craftsmanship and good sense of humor. 👍
Don't let restored of the month into your house with the hammer! It's lovely to see a good repair, I would have just lived with the funny doors to avoid getting restored of the year!
Birdy
Nice restore. And I carefully hit the like button, so you don't have to repair it!
Deal!
Wonderful work, you practically rebuilt the entire wardrobe.
thank you so much for reducing the volume of the saws and drills, my loved ones are sleeping
Beautiful piece and beautiful work. Definitely at least restorer of the month!
It looks like, at some time in the past, someone *really* wanted to get that cabinet open. Thanks for showing us such a great job of un-smashing it.
Diamond hands💎 🙌
Lord AT, first in his name, protector of old stuf!! Well done!
That’s beautiful. I would be sad to see it go too. I have the perfect place for it! 😉
I love your attention to details. (Every small thing matters.
Surprise! Got me again. Thought I'd be getting used to your skill. But no. I'm still as amazed as the first time I watched your videos. Incredible mastery of your craft.
Man, the control of your chisel work - awe inspiring.
You're work is beyond belief. Great job.
Absolutely stunning 😊I'm not surprised you got attached to her, after that thoughtful transformation.
I’m always glad the drawers need little attention You do marvellous work
Absolutely marvelous restoration!!! Bravo!!! I love watching your technique and skills. I can see why you were sad to see this piece go. I would have been sad too. I have learned a lot about restoration and nature of wood and wood working from watching your videos. I truly appreciate precision and attention to detail and you sir, never disappoint! Thank you for sharing your passion and talents with us.
If there ever was a title created for restoration artists it should be Master Restoration King. I didn’t believe that the original wood could even be saved with the mess you had..but I was happily surprised yet again…Your work is just awesome 😊
The result is so beautiful
Превосходная работа!!! Шкаф обрёл новую, долгую жизнь!!! П.с. Каждый раз поражаюсь как Вы тонко попадаете в цвет пациента... Маэстро...
What an amazing work. Fantastic. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
Or veneer apparently! lol What a beauty this piece is & you "caressing" the wood! True Master!
Brilliant... I have never seen perpendicular clamps before. When you found all those needles I was wondering what life was like before for this piece...beautiful piece....
I restore pianos for a living . Your restorations are the best. Very enjoyable to watch. Thanks so much.
Дуже гарна реставрація! Бажаю подальших успіхів майстру!
I think you more than deserve the title of Restorer of the Month! What a beautiful job bringing this piece of furniture back to life.
What a wonderful wardrobe. The shellac knocks me off of my socks every time! ❤
I am amazed at your knowledge in keeping the integrity of this historic piece of history true to it's time. You are one of the best, thank you for sharing your work.
Absolutely beautiful work!
Love that you don't put cheesy music to your videos so I don't have to mute them. Great job!
Truly a "Diamond in the rough". Nice job.
What a joy to watch a master perform his art. And, as usual, I learned how to do some things the right way.
Great work again AT, as always. Have smashed the like button rather than the furniture😅
I really like the thumbnail, refreshing for those boring ones 😂 Awesome work btw, that was an amazing restoration.
Hello Ahti, your eye for matching the stain is amazing.
I chuckled when you showed the sewing needles, in the sideboard I inherited from my Grandmother I was always finding needles in the drawers.
Nice to see the shop and I see that you have many Makita tools. The few times I have had the resources to purchase them they have always performed well beyond other brands.
I love your work and I'm happy that you share it with the rest of us
"I like when things are easy to use", me too mate. Cracking job, I thought you were off with the faries when you steamed the door, but nooo it worked!
That is a great looking wardrobe now, fantastic job👌
Роскошная вещь получилась! Вы-Мастер! Процесс Вашей работы смотреть одно удовольствие! Привет из Москвы!
What an amazing gift you have you gave this wonky warped piece beauty I liked how you carved I was so into that part if it was me I wouldn't of left any wood to carve I've seen loads of furniture repairs nothing like this ah!! mazing!!
Very nicely done, AT! Another piece of furniture from an almost forgotten era saved from the dump. Your skills are impressive.
ThAn: more thAn, or less thAn- as Add (+)or subtrAct (-).
ThEn: -Now and thEn. End of time. nExt in order.
A great restoration! Wonderful.
the glass panel makes the cabinet so special.
