- In this video I will restore classic Estonian china cabinet, that was mistreated by somebody. That model was popular in 1920 -1940 era, so they are pretty common even now. This one has fancy
beveled glasses and nice walnut veneer. In 1950' s, the design changed and also materials were much cheaper.

From junk to a museum piece. As a restoration woodworker myself, this was was an immensely satisfying project to watch.
Do you remove varnish with a sandong machine too?
Ahti, that was beautiful. It looked cheap before, and a gorgeous antique after. Your restorations are a joy to watch. Thanks for sharing this.
When I was young I lived above my grandfather and grandmother's pub. They and my father and mother also lived up there. The pub had a U-shaped bar for 20 people. Once a year the bar was repainted with the varnish that is also used for wooden boats. Quite a hard layer of lacquer. I helped my grandfather remove the varnish layer with small glasses. You could see cigarette burns all over the bar. Sanding and 3 coats of lacquer. You can imagine that your hands hurt from scratching whit those little glasses.
Always nice to see old furniture to be repaired. Soo much beauty compared what they make now. Just like that new architecture: unimaginative
Another beautiful piece of furniture saved by Ahti, after being botched by a bad restoration job before. Shows real knowledge, experience, skills, patience and attention to detail. A pleasure to watch.
It’s so weird how satisfying it is to watch you put on the varnish 😅! Your work is impeccable. Every time you post a new video I can’t wait to watch it! Thanks for sharing your craftsmanship!
Sooo refreshing to watch a restorstion done so well, rather than a beautiful piece being trashed with paint. ❤
After the beautiful and perfect restoration this cabinet is ready for more than two centuries ahead. Well done!
Your color matching skills are phenomenal. I am so glad to see that you allowed the walnut to be highlighted. Staining the oak (lesser wood) darker like it was originally made all the difference. Congratulations on another beautiful job!
I've seen hundreds of woodwork videos on UA-cam, this man's work is top notch, the best of all.
Каждый раз, глядя на реставрацию, кажется, что лучше уже не сделать. И каждым следующим видео Ахти опровергает это. Здоровья вам и вашим чудесным рукам!
It was great to see an antique restored to its former glory. I'm a true lover of antiques. It breaks my heart to see someone paint them just so they "fit" into whatever the style of the hour, day, month or year is. Thanks for bringing this beautiful piece back to life!
Mais je ne comprends pas comment des meubles peuvent être aussi abîmés avec le temps. J’ai beaucoup de meubles qui ont entre 100 et 130 ans et aucun n’est dans un état pareil et ce ne sont pas des meubles qui ont subis de grosses restaurations, certains n’ont même pas de vernis mais juste de la cire. Que font les gens avec leurs meubles ?
Thanks!, you did a great job. It really is beautiful now ❤
That was stunning! So nice to see a master at work...and to learn. (^.^)
I've used several of your techniques while working on a 1940's desk. It won't be anywhere near as good a job as you do, but will be perfect for my yarn.
Thanks again for posting!
What a fantastic restoration!! I ADORE Art Deco, it's one of my favorite styles, and you did a wonderful job bringing this beauty back to life! I drooled over the beveled glass a bit, tbh. Thanks for another great video Ahti!❤❤
Sir, you are truly amazing & your knowledge is outstanding! Thank you for posting again. We miss you when we don’t get videos.
I promise, the next videos will be interesting and worth waiting.
I can imagine: Junior comes home from school (he is a freshman in high school) all enthused about wood shop. His semester assignment is to redo an old piece of furniture at home. Proud parents allow Junior to "redo" grandma's old hutch. The only caveat is that he can't paint it. Dad has a drill sander and there's that old varnish in the shed, so Junior is all set. It looks good enough when done (almost), but proud parents and Junior think it's fine. Hence it comes to you many years later in the beginning condition. Thank goodness you have a UA-cam channel to show us how it's done. I redid my mother's sewing machine cabinet that had blistered varnish from being too close to a fire. Mine turned out better than this, but not by much, about 60 years ago. So I speak with firsthand knowledge about Junior. North Carolina, USA
Once again Ahti, you have turned a "scrap of wood" in a piece of Art. What I particulary like in your work, this is the cleverness you put in each part of your restorations. You observe a lot before doing anything. You have a deep respect for the pieces which enter in your shop, whatever are their value. Bravo for your work of love and passion. A pleasure to watch you at work indeed :-)

A Masterpiece restoration! A marvelous, majestic piece gained another 100 years of life! Thanks so much for sharing
Excellent work! It's so nice to see older furniture brought back to life. 👍
Lovely to see this beauty brought back to life in the hands of a pro. Thank you for the *many* hours of detailed recording & editing (that intro was funny) I'm always impressed with your fine results, Ahti. 👍
It's great to watch a master restoring a beautiful piece of furniture.
I actually learned more just now than my entire life when it comes to restoring real wood furniture. THANK YOU.
Outstanding as always, you are without question a true master of your craft, thank you for sharing.
The Love for your Craft shows on Everything you do. Your Historical Knowledge on Antique furniture and how to apply the repairs accurately are Amazing! You make it look so damn easy and I know it's not.
Restoration is a thing of beauty. You made it a work of art.
Athi, you're the best. I watch every video, it is so beautiful to see you working on old furniture with so much love. Thank you for being you.❤
Love the molding of the escutcheons. Lovely touch.
You let shine the beauty of this wonderful furniture! Great job as usual!
That walnut is beautiful!
What a difference a Master Craftsman makes. 👏 ⭐️
Very nice restoration. I'm sure your client was very happy with the results of your hard work. Congratulations!!
Amazing knowledge and attention to detail
Fantastic work. Love watching you save and rescue all these wonderful pieces. ❤❤❤
Truly beautiful. Thank goodness the “refresher” didn’t do permanent damage.
Ouch...! That cabinet was in pain. Good thing your client entrusted it to your expert hands.
Have a good Father's Day and a good weekend :)
Fathers Day is in June...?
@@GeminiWoods Maybe it is where you live. In Estonia it's this weekend.
@@bamereg Ah, interesting. Did not know that
I voted for you. This video was imposing and extraordinary. Congratulations and thanks for sharing your moments with us. 🎉👏🌷
Thanks to my most devoted fan! ;)
@@ATRestoration, always welcome!
What a gorgeous piece of furniture, you did an amazing job on it.
I love the beautiful wood grain that you have revealed!
Having watched quite a few restoration 'specialists' of late, that made me cringe, It was a real joy and delight to watch you at work, Ahti. Thank you for sharing with us 🥰
It is always a pleasure to see your restoration projects.
Oh my gosh I do not understand how the previous restorer did not see the damage being caused. Thank goodness you rescued this beauty. A joy to watch as usual
Act first, think later ;)
*Remarkable, transcendent transformation...from a sad little shabby cabinet to an elegant, elite museum piece anyone would be proud to own❣️💜🤎*
This chanel is soooooo satisfying. It is pleasure to watch you work. You, sir, are very skilled a mastercrafter.
You never fail to amaze with your excellent craftsmanship and attention to detail.
This one took my breath away at the reveal, it has to be the most beautiful piece of Deco furniture I've ever seen.
Да вы настоящий реставратор. Умело замаскировали утраченное. Показали всему миру как раньше мебель отделывали. По нынешним меркам, вы феномен. Таких осталось единицы на весь мир. Спасибо, что поделились своими знаниями и опытом.
I was very happy to see a new vlog from you. Of course another old wore piece brought back to its original beauty..... Hello 👋🏻 from Southern California 🌴 Annette V
A magnificent restoration! Very well done.
Great work, great innovation, again WOW!
Wow the cabinet looks great now! Thank you for sharing your art! 🗝️
all ways amazes how you blend in new to old so well4
As a trade qualified French polisher in in awe of your attention to detail and patience with this restoration. This is the first of your content I have watch and I'm sure now that I've subscribed, I will be watching plenty more. Keep up the good work.
Sooooo Beautiful!! I Love this kind of style of furniture!! You a master craftsman & restorer!! Happy that you found this baby & made her Gorgeous again!!❤❤❤
Excellent craftsmanship!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Fantastic!
Great job recreating those escutcheons with epoxy. Very clever. Nice work!
This may be the best transformation, yet! I really appreciate your ability to match color & making the escutcheons! Wow!
You took a wrecked piece and turned it into a masterpiece! Absolutely gorgeous! 😊❤
Как же я люблю ваши ролики! Они такие добрые и интересные! Независимо от того что вы делаете и что показываете, веет высочайшим профессионализмом , упорством, любовью к своему делу да и вообще к жизни! Смотрю и получаю просто эстетическое удовольствие! Так держать!!!🙂
When you show in the beginning of a video what's wrong, damaged or someone has messed up with a piece then say "Lets make it right" it's always a bit of a thrill because I know I'm in for a great time watching you skillfully and with good humor do just that. And because I know how beautiful the piece will be when you're done, even when you most often exceed my expectations. Thank you.
Beautiful job of restoring the furniture hutch...you are truly a master woodworker! Bravo!! 🤩
This piece turned out beautifully! I’m not a huge fan of that era furniture, but this turned out so well! Love it!
Great job of restauration… Master Gold hands
I've had some experience of fixing damaged furniture, for friends, but the restoring and finishing of damaged veneers is a welcome revelation.
Thanks!
Ahti, you do wonderful restorations! Thank you! I am watching all of the restorations that you have done. Amazing.
Ahti, as always, I am in awe of your talent, and your skills. Only YOU could have brought this piece back to it's original perfection. Bravo!!!!
It was really very pleasant to see how you could detect the flaws in the old restoration and correct them, leaving the furniture imposing and beautiful again. In Brazil, my country of origin, carnauba wax is often used to finish. Thank you very much for making my Saturday more beautiful, Ahti. Bravo!👏👏🌷
Thank you very much!
Love your videos! Watching poor mistreated GOOD furniture beingt restored to its natural beauty is wonderful to watch!
AHHH! Restored to almost original, beautiful work, very inventive use of the Dentist silicone to replicate missing parts. Brilliant !!!
Absolutely perfect; it's a joy to watch your work!! I am astounded, as always. :)
She glows after all that work , such a beautiful restoration, you have such a good eye for color match
Another mega restoration, and my favourite period (art deco). Would love a cabinet like that but it is great to see these being so lovingly restored. Great job.
Great Job! Fantastic results!
Please show the finished piece from a distant at the end of video and for a longer time period. I find many restorer channels often don’t showcase the before-and-after in its entirety long enough for viewers to appreciate all the work they did. Beautifully done.
This is outstanding workmanship.
Absolutely gorgeous!
Such a pretty piece 😍....fantastic job
Such a stunning piece of furniture in design and in restoration. Well done! ✨🩵✨
Your knowledge of what needs to be done and how to do it to bring back the original beauty amazes me. But sometimes I think you make it more beautiful than it was originally.
What an absolutely beautiful piece! You did an excellent job. Love your videos.
Wow. Simply beautiful.
Saved from the debris of a devil…by the hands of an angel. Simply Gorgeous!
Also…a wonderful opening on this video.
A most unique piece. It turned out gorgeous. Beautiful job of restoration. Carol from California
What a beautiful cabinet. It looks almost new, like it could have been in someone's house for a few years. Great work, as always.
Bravo, it's so sophisticated and solid...particularly compared to the "refresh" debacle it was when you began.
Ahti. You're a master at woodworking and restoration. Thank you for letting me/us share in this journey with you!
Beautiful restoration of that Art Deco style cabinet. Congratulations.
What a STUNNING piece of furniture! Amazing work!
Your restoration of the piece is the difference between a master craftsman and an idiot. Excellent restoration 👍👍👍Thank you for sharing. Be safe🇨🇦
Oh my goodness, I would love to won this! Classic, but modern. I'm glad you didn't have to replace any of the glass panes.
👌🤩
That wasn't a bad restoration, what they did was criminal. You certainly brought it around, though. It looks great - very elegant.
Bloody beautiful, absolutely gorgeous outcome. Another job well done ❤
Another beautiful and interesting restoration Ahti. I always enjoy the details and explanations of your processes. The opening Mr. Destructo shot was a hoot!
In the hands of the master, the beauty comes back. Thank-you for sharing , much to be learned here.
Beautiful work! And now it's ready for another 150 years of lovely service!
👍👍
Beautiful restoration.
At first I was laughing at the “warnish” but by the end, I found it endearing. And wow… that walnut veneer on that door was gorgeous!! Lovely restoration, as usual!!
Outstanding workmanship, Ahti. Not a lot to rebuild, but a very immersive refinish project all in all. That crotchwood walnut veneer on the center door must have been really expensive at the time, loved the pattern. You certainly brought the cabinet back to its former glory. Well done.
Шедевр, реставрация просто идеальная.
Мастер, вам низкий поклон,за восстановление .Этот шедевр, достоин музея,как прекрасный экспонат,чтоб люди любовались ,двнным шедевром
