I am a retired Architect Interior Designer and from your knowledge of repair and various furniture period constructions I assume you may be European. In Canada and the US most of our very best craftsmen are like you and the best ones i have known and used all have a European background and training, In my long experience they are very knowledgeable about their craft and most often grew up learning it from other family members Its not just in your trade its in most of the building trades also like brick laying etc etc.. I love watching your craftsmanship and the patient way you work.. At 85 now i have worked with and known many like yourself and can appreciate your talent and craftsmanship. BRAVO....will continue watching your interesting and educational videos..
This was perfect as a vanity desk for me. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxMAlHv7-BBWMrPRm5-uEoD6rtdT7SG2Qr Especially the glossy finish. Easy to cleanI was looking for something that wasn't the traditional white and with more of a modern feel. This fit the bill beautifully. I put it together with no problems, by myself in under an hour.Make sure you double check where you place the drawer tracks before screwing down. I had one track that needed to be aligned with different holes than the rest.
Ах, какой столик - классный, практичный, компактный, раздвижной, на все случаи жизни и такой красавчик! Как новенький! Многое мастер убрал, заменил, подправил, покрасил, отлакировал, отшлифовал и - "получите, распишитесь! " Волшебник, кудесник, всё как в сказке! Спасибо за видео, очень интересно видеть весь процесс - "от" и "до"! 👍👍👍👍👍💯💖💥
Now I understand why professional antique and vintage restoration can be expensive.......and worth EVERY penny! Your attention to detail is fantastic....a true artist at work.
At first glance, it didn’t seem worth the time and effort, but you made that into a show piece. You always seem to see possibilities where I see none. Beautiful!
Was dieser Mann alles macht und kann ist einfach nur der Hammer!!! Ein Künstler!!!
There is something relaxing and compeling watching you bring objects back to their beauty! Keep up the good work.
I don't even restore furniture yet I found myself binge watching your videos. It's always enjoyable for me to watch a master at his craft. Such an incredible job you do on each piece.
Same here!
Same here, but I confess I watch other furniture restorers too. This is one of my favorites though
Another Binge watcher and amateur, former refinisher. Just love this stuff especially rescuing items and returning them to original purpose. This is God's work for furniture.
I love that you make these like new again. I can imagine how proud someone must have been to have that in their home. Now too.
I think you should rename your enterprise 'Lazarus Restorations' - you've certainly brought that table back to life. Amazing work and proof that one can never have too many clamps. Bravo.
😆
I agree! "Lazarus Restorations"
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
I wish you could restore my old wood furniture🙃❤️
Or, apparently, too many scraps of protective wood!
I am the 2 percent of the population that enjoys watching this type of video because it is relaxing
I never would have thought it would look that good! I’m so impressed!!!!!
Always a pleasure to see how old things are valued and experienced a "rebirth".
There is a master at work, with equipment better than any hardware store 😁
I've been woodworking for 40 years and I learn something from every one of your videos. Thank you!!
Wow, thanks!
Мастер-"Золотые руки"! Молодец! Дар от Бога.
Your old bench with built-in vise brings back memories of woodworking class in Sweden in the 70s. 😻 I just loved how those rooms smelled.
"In other news, markets worldwide report a massive shortage of Bessey edge clamps, following a routine purchase by AT Restorations..." ;)
I really enjoy this and your other videos - thanks so much.
Серединка у таких столов раскладная была (обе части крепились друг к другу) и пряталась в сам стол.
У вас золотые руки!
Вот и мне сдается, что никакой это не американец.
You do absolutely beautiful work. I use to love playing around with trying to restore older furniture. But nothing like you do. I could watch these videos all day. Thank you for making old things look beautiful again.
Your skills creating missing table leaves is quite impressive. Fantastic job! 😊
Из хлама в роскошную вещь! Волшебство мастера! Браво!!!
This table looks excellent with the new leaves installed. I love your videos.
Thank the heavens for clamps,clamps and more clamps.
These tables are the kind I grew up around. So seeing this restored really made my heart happy. This is the kind of table I’ve wanted the last 20 years and could never find. Fabulous restoration! 💜
The veneer work is impressive. I am slowly becoming a convert.
You never cease to dazzle me with your artistry and skill. I also appreciate your informative text as the project evolves and I love that you don’t just jabber!
Ship of Theseus comes to mind
My Favourite AT ,love watching him, he is fantastic.
I really enjoyed re-watching your restoration of that old table.
The true love for the clamps xxx
that clampwork is tremendous
You are definitely a master craftsman. Such a beautiful restoration of the “leafed” table.
And, I knew if anyone could restore it... It would be you. Your knowledge and ability is awesome.
Oh well done you! You literally made a silk purse our of a sow’s ear. Fabulous. 👏👏👏
I love how meticulous and detail-oriented you are. Brilliant restoration!
I certainly hope you got the "friends & family" discount when buying all those clamps!! 😳🤣
Every project you do is always done with such care. They look *simply beautiful* when finished. 👏👏
The light color was beautiful on this table…
Woodworking… you can never have too many clamps! 😉 excellent job
I'd describe your job as 'constantly provocing to give up without a single chance to'. Actually have no special interest in restoration, but love to see this one man vs one freacking piece of wood torture show. Somehow the man wins and it's mindblowing, such a power of will, oh my😵
Brilliant workmanship. You seem to always get the colour mixing spot on which itself is an art plus the fact that the wrong colour stain could spoil the piece. Keep the videos coming.
Sometimes choosing the colour is the hardest part, because of the different lighting and different materials.
2:22 those are some famous lines "I make new ones" - my mechanic 😁
😆
It’s so helpful that you explain why you choose the stain you do. As someone who only does sporadic projects it’s hard to gain personal experience with all the different products out there. Stain, varnish, gel stains etc. The choices can become a research project in itself. I appreciate all the learning I’ve found on this channel. Thank you!
Thomas Johnson Antique Furniture Restoration is another good channel to learn from if you're interested.
Hope we choose to go this route more often. There's no need to throw out perfectly good bones, it's so wasteful. Thank you for sharing your work!
It turned out beautiful. The laminate and stain you chose really made it beautiful.
Mr. AT Restoration you are great at what you do.
Спасибо! В ваших работах столько уважения к мастерам из прошлого! ❤️
My grandmother had an unremarkable kitchen table. She had it restored, which I thought was ridiculous. Boy was I wrong, I wish I had it today. You're restoring memories, not just furniture.
A very handsome table. Most of the time, there's just me, but occasionally I need to seat 8. Just perfect.
Прекрасно!
Мало мастеров которые восстанавливают вещь в первоначальном виде авторской задумки, открывая природную красоту материала. В основном наблюдала шпаклёвку и замазывание краской поверхностей. И вещь превращалась в Квазимодо! Браво, Мастер!
Thanks!
Simple but beautiful design.Great restoration.
I would be proud to have that beautiful table in my house!
Просим Вас делать БОЛЬШЕ именно таких вещей, СОВЕТСКИХ, которые есть у каждого и которых валом на авито.
When I saw the headline I said this I have to say it is so satisfying and interesting to watch somebody create and restore things that badly need to be fixed my hats off to you loved every minute of it😊👍
Wow, thank you!
What a rescue! Impressive! Congratulations!
I agree with others that you did a very great job restoring this piece.
I am very pleased that you were able to give it 2 leaves to give the new owners versatility!
Me and my 4 year old son love ur channel, your craftsmanship is astounding!
I have exactly this type of dining table, in a slightly better (but not by much) condition. What a great resource, definitely using this as a reference!
Turned out beautiful, as I expected it would. I have to call you the master of clampster! Seems there are never enough clamps but you have more and so many types than I've seen before!
Beautiful!! I am in love and envy with your clamp collection!!
Watching 💖 from Ottawa Canada ❄️❄️❄️
You have the most awesome tools as well as spectacular talent.
I like the extra info you add, it's really educational
Колосальный труд, какой Мастер!!! Гениальный , Молодец!!!
Absolutely stunning result 🤩. I would usually skip to the end but my cat was really enjoying it. Can't believe how much effort and patience was put in 😊
I don’t know anything about furniture building and repair. But I know what I like and you do beautiful work thank you! ❤️🌵🇺🇸
So this is my table! How did he get to you !? Amazing!
Так это ж мой стол! Как он к вам попал!?
Изумительно!!!
А я такой, чуть в хуже состоянии продала в музей мелкопоместных дворян
Your channel is very educational. I really enjoy every video and learn from them all. As a child I watched my father woodworking and it fascinated me. I wanted to do this! Unfortunately, he passed away when I was 13. Maybe I would have been able to learn from him. I'm older now and I wish I didn't let my circumstance derail me!
Gorgeous!!! I liked the stain you put on much better than the original color! I agree with another viewer that your clamps are also a work of art like your restorations!! Super impressive!
That table had a hard life! Good job. 👍🏻
Such a sweet little table! You brought her back to her prime! Fantastic job! She is gorgeous!! Thank you!!
that was amazing restoration , I never knew that there so much work into one table , but the outcome is fantastic
Fantastic job... you're a true craftsman!
Отлично!У бабушки был почти такой же стол,правда,светлый-березовый наверное и под прозрачным лаком.Теперь им уже праправнуки пользуются...
Again a excellent restoration very good
Your work is precise and beautiful! I love it!
You did amazing work, the table is absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for sharing with us, I learned so much.
Just stumbled on here out of nowhere. very impressive work, very well done. subscribed.
Awesome, thank you!
Beautifully done and authentic workmanship!!!
Thankfully you have as many clamps as you do. Clamp heaven but you do such great work. Did realize that veneer is on so many different furniture items though. Getting my education is furniture restore. You have a great day
Absolutely beautiful! So much talent.
Отличная работа!!! Где и в каких запасах остался ещё Eskaro!!
Actually looks fun using that steamer
If u are married your wife is very lucky to have someone so talented as you wonderful work u do .
We are such a throw away society, nice to see a restoration, costly I am sure!
Wow! I‘m baffled… you worked a miracle!
That's a very good way to make leaves. Thanks for sharing!!
Hard to beleive it's the same table. Well done!
Another masterpiece! It's gorgeous!!!
I don't know where you find these very sad pieces? But, you always manage to make them beautiful again. Well done
You do such beautiful work. Thank you for sharing your talent with us all.
I think he should rename himself The Clamp Meister! 😊
Good job! Beautiful result.
It's absolutely beautiful. You are so talented as a craftsman. Amazing job sir.
Marvelous job, looks like knew. 🏴 🇨🇦
So much work involved. Impressive result...well done 👏👏👩🔧
Awesome job....nice to watch someone take pride in what they do
Great job, again. It's so satisfying to watch you restore furniture. You have 'hooked' me.
I've subscribed. Have a great Saturday. Thanks for the entertainment and instructional education.
I love watching you work. So satisfying
Me at start of video: "Why restore such a cheap crappy table",
Me at end of video: "Now that's a really nice table" :)
Thanks! Some pieces are more valued than others.
I had similar thoughts to you, both at the beginning and the end. Although for me, sometimes the restauration job itself is the real value. :)
you make great restorations, the best I've seen anyone make and you're also very handsome
