For all my 60 years, my mother has used a dresser exactly like this one and a mirror hung on the wall in another part of the house....this is the first time I've realized they belong together!😂 Great job resurrecting this one.
The beveled glass of the original mirror was wonderful. You could get it resilvered and put it back in the frame. I think that would really be the jewel on the piece. Excellent work!
I love videos like this where a piece of furniture looks dump worthy, but then is restored to its almost brand new condition. Great work! Any one would love to have that dresser in their home.
Chestnut. I have a six-drawer five-tier tall Eastlake bureau in shabby condition. It looks really rough but the unimproved raw wood inside the drawers makes my clothing smell wonderful. Congratulations for bringing this one back from death's door.
Браво вам,мастер!!!Сразу видно,что относитесь с любовью к своей работе!Вы как очень хороший доктор,вылечили и дали вторую жизнь этому комоду!я восхищена!❤
Möbeltischler, ihr seid die wahren Künstler, wunderschöne Schränke, Kommoden und der gleichen zu erhalten, die auch nach 100 Jahren strahlen, als wären sie brandneu, ist schon großartig. Man werfe euch einen Haufen Altholz mit dem Vermerk war mal ein Möbel und nach einiger Zeit steht etwas da, das einem die Füße wegreißt. Toll, toll, toll👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍
WOW!!! When you first showed this piece, all in pieces and broken up, I thought “this is gonna be interesting!” Man, you did a fantastic job bringing this piece back to life!! And no table saw or jointer?! Very impressive!!
My father restored a very similar Eastlake dresser in the 80"s that was my grandmother's. He used linseed oil and I have refreshed it with Odies oil. I have owned it for the last 30 years and it will be passed to my daughter. Thank you for giving this piece of history a new life.
Beautiful, sympathetic restoration. I was dreading gel stain, paint, and cheap hardware. Instead, you brought out the natural beauty of the wood (chestnut?) and found solid brass, that looks great.
I thought the same thing, but the mirror alone would've been worth more than $20. Mirrors are one of those things that you don't realize cost so dang much until you become an adult and start trying to decorate your own home.
Votre travail est remarquable. Vous ressuscitez de vieux meubles dont personne ne voudrait. Chapeau l’artiste ! 😍💚 C’est toujours un immense plaisir de vous suivre. Salutations de France 🇫🇷.
Какая отличная вещь получилась!!! Браво мастеру!!! Золотые руки, а так же золотые руки у тех, кто когда то изготовил это И спасибо бывшим влалельцам, что сохранили, а не выкинули на свалку Получилась потрясающая винтажная мебель, стоящая хороших денег❤
I was very surprised by the choose of the tung oil finish but very nice looking. Not a finish I would have thought to look at though I do use it regularly.
Oh my, that was quite the undertaking. Reminded me of getting a Lego set and building something not restoring! You are a master at what you do. You must be so proud! Thank you for saving this. I love antiques.❤
Great Restoration! It Looked like it was Waiting to Die! And So Thirsty! I Don't Think I've Ever Seen a Piece that Looked that Dry! It Must of just Sucked Up that Tung Oil! Nice Color and the Grain is Really Beautiful!
Знаю,что зависть не хорошее качество....но ничего не могу поделать с собой.....завидую этому человеку, что у него золотые руки!!!!Такую работу трудно назвать восстановлением....или реставрацией....Отличная работа....шикарный результат!!! Здоровья вам, успехов и, процветания и благополучия!
Amazing restoration, great job. Glade to see the old craftsmanship left in the restoration. First time I have seen a sliding dovetail used on the top to allow for expansion.
Little tip for you; When cutting a dado dovetail, depending on the size of dovetail you are cutting, use a box bit first. That way you will get a cleaner cut with less drag and it will save the brushes on your router motor too! You're welcome 😊
The black spots around the nails and screws could have been treated with oxalic acid. But of course, a good job has been done, you have recreated a worthy object from junk. Excellent result.
Wasn't sure if this one could be saved! But as usual you brought it back to life and it's absolutely amazing gorgeous! Awesome job transforming this broken piece to a true beauty! 😊❤
Is this called quarter sawn? It is stunning! My Dad would say 'Lipstick and rouge, powder and paint makes a plain looking girl look what she ain't.' What a transformation. The piece can breathe again.
You didn’t have to change your screwdriver for anyone if their annoyed that’s their problem your the one doing the work it’s whatever you feel comfortable with, their just watching. You do good work keep it up 👍🏼
Nice result. Very nice. How did you repair the missing little decorative piece on the front? Just for the heck of it, if you have the pieces from the old top, why not try steaming and weighting them and reassembling, as a practice piece? Also, what did you do to repair the mirror glass? Thanks very much.
@@patstrailertopics5975 I cut off some scrap white oak I had and used the router to shape it. I didn’t have the tools to make it exactly the same so I made two that were similar to the original.
Hello, just stumbled into this video as I love to pick up some old furniture pieces myself and try to revive them… I’m so in awe of how this old furniture, that’s saved from the dumps, turned out!!! Unbelievable! If I have only have at least a quarter of your skills and know how, I would be so ecstatic… your craftsmanship is incredible! Thank you for posting. I love watching and learning new things… is it possible for you to post some tutorials on how to do simple fixes on odd issues encountered in “ restoring” for some people , like me, who don’t know much carpentry? Much appreciated. You have a new subscriber! Thank you!
My dad gave me a bedroom set very similar to this , thankfully all the parts were still with it . After watchong your video i gave it a shot on mine . Yea , i am very happy what tirned out . A lot of work and time but im beyond happy . Thank you so much , my dad couldnt believe it either . I would do it again .
Nice save, turning the board backwards helped. You not only have enough glue on one side but you caught yourself making a mistake by gluing all the ends. 🙂❤️🌺
Wow! What a beautiful restoration work, it's impressive. Congratulations on your masterful work, a big "hello" straight from Brazil to salute your work.

That was no restoration - it was a resurrection! What amazing work!
Yes it was! Thank you!
For all my 60 years, my mother has used a dresser exactly like this one and a mirror hung on the wall in another part of the house....this is the first time I've realized they belong together!😂 Great job resurrecting this one.
That is awesome! Thanks!
Parabéns pelo trabalho mãos abençoadas. Brasil,Belo Horizonte.
That they kept the pieces with the dresser speaks to the knowledge that the seller knew there was potential. OUTSTANDING WORK!
Thank you!. There were a couple of things missing but they had a lot the pieces for the most part.
You have to appreciate the artistic carpentry of those days
Absolutely!
The piece was made by a true craftsman and was restored by a true craftsman. Beautiful.
Thank you!!
The beveled glass of the original mirror was wonderful. You could get it resilvered and put it back in the frame. I think that would really be the jewel on the piece. Excellent work!
Thanks for the tip! I can look into getting it resilvered.
Wandeful .😊😊
I love videos like this where a piece of furniture looks dump worthy, but then is restored to its almost brand new condition. Great work! Any one would love to have that dresser in their home.
Thanks!
I think it might be BETTER than brand new.
@@TerryInUSA thank you!
Same! Those are my favorites. I wish this creator talked though.
It is great to see you have not gone for a miserable dark stain!❤
I think they used dark stains to cover up imperfections in the wood
I'm glad you did not go overboard with the staining..it was just enough colour to bring it to looking it's best..nicely done...
Yes! Thank you!
Trabalho maravilhoso ❤
Thank you!!
Just Lovely !!!! So glad you put the mirror back on, so many do not when they restore these beautiful pieces!! I love it !!
Thanks! To be fair that was a new mirror. The old one was damaged.
Very nice end result. Old furniture is just beautiful. You do well.
Thank you! I agree.

Such kind words. Thank you!
stunning. they really don't make 'em like they used to, so how wonderful to see this old gem brought back from the grave! A+ work
Couldn't agree more! Thanks!
WOW!!! When you first showed this piece, all in pieces and broken up, I thought “this is gonna be interesting!” Man, you did a fantastic job bringing this piece back to life!! And no table saw or jointer?! Very impressive!!
Glad you liked it! Table saw and planer are on my short list.
So wonderful, you didn't stain it!!! Just oiled oak on it's own. Well done
Thank you! To be fair I did lightly stain the new oak top to match.
@@restorationrhode I saw that, put you just stain it to match the old wood. That'totaly fine.
So beautiful...I absolutely loved every minute of this video
Thank you so much! I glad you enjoyed the video!

Thanks for sharing! Very cool!
The joinery of the piece after all the years is impressive
Totally! It’s wild how well it’s held up over the years. Craftsmanship for the win!
Beautiful, sympathetic restoration. I was dreading gel stain, paint, and cheap hardware. Instead, you brought out the natural beauty of the wood (chestnut?) and found solid brass, that looks great.
Thank you! It’s oak. Also, the hardware is the original brass hardware that I polished and cleaned.
@@restorationrhodeexcept for the brass keyholes, clearly
@@jonathanstabler4823 ahh, yes that’s what you meant. Those are new.
How the owners of this piece had the nerve to ask $20 for it,I'll never know.The result of your work is amazing.
Thank you!
Drawer pulls worth over $20. Thick, beveled mirror= $$$.
I thought the same thing, but the mirror alone would've been worth more than $20. Mirrors are one of those things that you don't realize cost so dang much until you become an adult and start trying to decorate your own home.
My thoughts exactly 💯
They obviously knew what could be done with it, still shocking though
Love seeing a piece saved from the trash and restored ✨️
So do I!
Absolutely stunning transformation! 24:37
Thank you!
Браво, мастер! И долгих лет жизни обновлённому комоду.
Thank you!!
Wow! I did not think anyone could save that rubble. Amazing restoration!
Thank you!
Votre travail est remarquable.

Chapeau l’artiste ! 😍💚
C’est toujours un immense plaisir de vous suivre.

Thank you! And thank you for the sub!
Brilliant craftsmanship
Thank you!!
Very amazing. That piece was headed to the landfill, glad you saw the potential in it. Excellent job, turned out beautifully.
You did a fantastic job. Looks great
Thank you so much!
Какая отличная вещь получилась!!!
Браво мастеру!!!

Thoroughly enjoyed your chatter-free video. Eastlake is a favorite of mine & this is a beautiful piece now! Excellent work.
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
@@restorationrhodeOMG!! Thanks you !!! How many times I NEED to watch on mute because of annoying music 🎶 or just move on to something else😊
Chatter I don't mind at all for most of channels I fallow😊
Cracking bit of workmanship. 😊 and what a finish, beautifully executed.
Cheers Les.
Thank you! Cheers!
Very stunning piece of furniture. Thank you for not painting it.
Thank you! Glad you like it!
I was very surprised by the choose of the tung oil finish but very nice looking. Not a finish I would have thought to look at though I do use it regularly.
@@Redraven2967 I’ve been testing different finishes to see what I like. Been using a wipe on poly lately which I think actually looks pretty good.
Unbelievable transformation. My admiration and respect.
Thank you!!
WOW I would be proud to have that in my house.
Thank you! Want to buy it? Haha
@@restorationrhode sure but don't think I could afford the shipping to get to me. 😁
Incredible restoration 👌🇮🇷
Thank you!
Gifted Hands. Awesome!!!
Wow, thank you!
The stain brought out everything that the old paint hid. So very beautiful to see every detail.
I agree. beautiful detail in the wood.
I can already see the beauty in this dresser. It's disappointing that the top couldn't be saved.
Thank you! I know, I tried to save it.
Beautifully restored. Thanks, love to get one for my wife.❤😊
Go for it! Thanks!
Outstanding work
Thank you!
Oh my, that was quite the undertaking. Reminded me of getting a Lego set and building something not restoring! You are a master at what you do. You must be so proud! Thank you for saving this. I love antiques.❤
Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm a sucker for Legos as well!
Шикарно! Браво, Мастер! Я бы хотела такое трюмо❤😊
Thank you!
So so soooo nice! Never would have thought that beneath all that was such beautiful wood, but YOU knew... wonderful work!
Thank you very much! I know! I was surprised too!
Stunning result 🤩 Well done!
Thank you! 😊
Superb, impressively beautiul! Long life to old fournitures!
Thank you! Indeed!
I would call this project a total rebuild not restoration..!! Looks Great..!!
Thank you!
Incrível resultado final é surpreendente! Fiquei encantada nem dá pra acreditar que é o mesmo móvel. Amei!
Thank you!!
I hope you saved the top for floating shelves. Gorgeous
Thanks! I still have the top but they are bowed and warped so bad I think items would fall off if they were shelves haha 😂
@@restorationrhodeThickness planer or hot steam and lots of pressure?
@@volkmarkostka6763 possibly. I don’t have a planer right now. It’s on the wish list.
Lavoro eccezionale! Bravissimo. Oggetto bellissimo, insegna il tuo lavoro ai giovani ne abbiamo tanto bisogno di artisti come te. 👏👏👏
Thank you so much!
Браво! Отличный результат.
Thank you!
That turned out to be an absolutely gorgeous piece. Great work!
Thank you very much!
Great Restoration! It Looked like it was Waiting to Die! And So Thirsty! I Don't Think I've Ever Seen a Piece that Looked that Dry! It Must of just Sucked Up that Tung Oil! Nice Color and the Grain is Really Beautiful!
Thank you! It was very dry. Took almost half a can of tung oil.
Знаю,что зависть не хорошее качество....но ничего не могу поделать с собой.....завидую этому человеку, что у него золотые руки!!!!Такую работу трудно назвать восстановлением....или реставрацией....Отличная работа....шикарный результат!!! Здоровья вам, успехов и, процветания и благополучия!
Thank you! Technically my hands are more of a tan brown haha.
Awesome job!!!!!
Thanks!!
restoration? that's not restoration.. it's a rebuilt.. well done.. such meticulous work.. I enjoyed the video..
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you! 🤗
Great job. IMHO Keep ASMR and ditch the music ….ppl will flock to your videos because myou do great work
Thank you!
I agree 100%. The sounds of your work are all you need. Great job!
@@marydeyoung1261 thanks for the feedback!
Yes...I watch this type of video at double speed and the music sounds very distorted at that speed....
I for one was very entertained by the 80s montage!
Amazing restoration, great job. Glade to see the old craftsmanship left in the restoration. First time I have seen a sliding dovetail used on the top to allow for expansion.
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it!
Love the vid you have lots of skill at this stuff easy to understand thx
Thank you!
There is only one word to describe your work and that is awesome.
Thank you!
I LOVE IT
Thank you! So do I! Haha

Thanks for the info! Great tip!
Very nice. The drawers seem a bit sticky. Did you wax them?
I waxed them after the video. Realized the same thing.
Wow!!
Die Resultat ist Wunderschön!!
Congratulliren für deine Große Talent!!!😊😊
Man, you did a miracle! New sub.
Thanks for the sub!
Great Job! A very Handsome looking dresser and that fantastic Oak finish! Nothing best old growth wood especially Oak!
Thank you very much!
I wonder if that was a silver dime he vacuumed up?
I’ll have to fish it out of the vacuum.
Amazing! Great work and a really beautiful piece of furniture.
Thank you!
wonderful restauration, but: should have kept the old mirror, this was more authentic with the exquisit cut line around...pity!
Thank you! The New mirror is beveled as well.
Beautiful job. Good attention to detail.. a great job bringing it back and making it useable foe another 100 yrs.
Thank you!
The black spots around the nails and screws could have been treated with oxalic acid.
But of course, a good job has been done, you have recreated a worthy object from junk. Excellent result.
Thank you. That’s a good suggestion for the future.
Wow,,,I didn't expect it to be that beautiful,,,improved yes that was expected but truely beautiful wasn't,,I am amazed ,,,AWESOME JOB
Thank you!!
If you are reading this, know that Jesus Christ loves you.
I think you watched the wrong video.
You have a true gift for restoration. Be Blessed
Thank you!!
You turned it into another great piece of furniture!
Thank you!
My absolute favorite style of dresser! You did an amazing job! It is stunning.
Thank you so much!
Wasn't sure if this one could be saved! But as usual you brought it back to life and it's absolutely amazing gorgeous! Awesome job transforming this broken piece to a true beauty! 😊❤
Thank you very much!
Huge props for bringing a dead piece back to life. The work you put into this will mean 100 years more life for that once forlorn old dresser.
Thank you!!
Is this called quarter sawn? It is stunning! My Dad would say 'Lipstick and rouge, powder and paint makes a plain looking girl look what she ain't.' What a transformation. The piece can breathe again.
Thank you! Yes, technically the wood grain is quarter sawn.
Now that is amazing work .absolutely a beauty .
Thank you very much!
You didn’t have to change your screwdriver for anyone if their annoyed that’s their problem your the one doing the work it’s whatever you feel comfortable with, their just watching. You do good work keep it up 👍🏼
Thank you! And I agree. However, the larger screwdriver did work better 😂
I think I’d like to see the old glass put back The patina makes it remind how it was Fabulous restoration it looks beautiful once more 👍👍👍
Unfortunately the old mirror broke. ☹️
@ oh no 😟
Incredible Job!!!!!!!!!! You saved it!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks!

What a beauty!! You are a true craftsman. I love the oak wood grain it pops with the finish you chose.
Thank you! I think so too!

Nice save, turning the board backwards helped. You not only have enough glue on one side but you caught yourself making a mistake by gluing all the ends. 🙂❤️🌺
Thanks! You are right! I caught it the second I went to reach for the last board haha.
Beautiful work ..... BTW I agree with re-silvering the original mirror.
Thank you! I know I don’t have expertise in that area. Should have had it resilvered by an expert.
Amo assistir o restauro de peças que parecem sem conserto. Nesta, foi operado um verdadeiro milagre!! Parabéns, serviço perfeito!!
