Beautiful restoration. My great-grand parents brought their possessions from Ireland in trunks just like that one. The adults were allowed a full size trunk each and each child got a half-sized trunk. They brought a total of nine steamer trunks.
The addition of the paper was spot on. The design emulated the pattern of the original lining of the chest, but on a somewhat larger scale. Quite a statement piece, and one can see that styling being used today.
These things outlived their usefulness because they were stored in attics where they were kept dry. And who couldn’t reuse an old wooden box for storage. This is my fourth restoration watching on RUclips tube. I love it.❤❤❤❤😊
According to the Oxford Dictionary Restoration: the act of restoring something to a former or original condition. To repair, reconstruct, refurbish, rebuild. Therefore mission accomplished. And beyond that he has helped reduce landfill by restoring a piece most of us would never have imagined attempting to do.
A dear friend had a chest at the foot of his guest room where I often stayed. Now he is gone,he always had a mildew scent he did not know how to remove but he lives again in this video for some reason. How he would have loved to see this restored piece. Thank you. It is wonderfully engrossing to see it come alive again. Stay well my friend who.
Absolutely incredible restoration of this beautiful steamer trunk. I used to have 3. Two round top and one flat top. They were 100 yrs old and in like new condition except they needed new locks. Brings back fond memories. ~Kevin
I subscribe to your channel because you do a lot of (in my opinion) extreme and multi skill restorations and makeovers. The concert and peek into your life is definitely an appreciated bonus 🙂
I really liked your work so much, congratulations! But as for the wallpaper, I think it could have been different, keeping the old ferry trunk style. Still, it was really cool!
wow, you really gave that old trunk some beautiful new life. Steamer trunks have amazing stories and are such beautiful pieces of furniture/storage. I love your work and I am glad RUclips slapped you on my recommendations!
Wonderful craftmanship. Embellishments are everything on those steamer trunks. My only criticism is the wallpaper on the outside and whatever you used for the lining. That should've been fabric. The right choices there would've elevated it to a super luxe piece.
Сундук просто шикарный! Выглядит как новый, такой красивый! Мне очень нравится ваша работа, у вас золотые руки! Музыкант тоже был шикарен и прекрасен! Песня его чудесна и волшебна! Спасибо 🙏 вам наиогромнейшее, за ваши интересные и замечательные видео и красивую музыку! 🥰👍❤️
Wow what an amazing transformation 👍 watching you fill all those old nail holes I imagine would have taken some time. I liked all the finishing touches. Concert sounded great also. Well done my friend 👏👏👏👏
I have a very similar trunk but twice as big, used for traveling on a boat, on sea; so well done. The craftmanship of these is incredible, so many details and so solid. I have a blue one and a brown one.
this is beautiful. i have my grandfather's trunk from about 1943 which my aunt restored. your video is very similar to what i hold dear in my den. thank you for your excellent video.
Absolutely brilliant restoration 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 But sorry not a fan of the blue wallpaper on the outside…maybe a more muted paper, similar to the original colors on the ends of the outside & back?
Hello from France Nice restoration. Used this trunk for an air trip, it's sure to have to pay a supplement for the excess weight of your luggage lol🤣🤣🤣
@@Restomaniac Oh my gosh, I did not think about how many times you might have hit your fingers...odds are that it happened quite a bit, ouch😉 No worries on the time my friend, it took me a few days to watch it. Take care and hello to MrsRM
I would love to know what products/mixtures you used. The metal work is amazing. A shame some of the original features couldn't be salvaged but time marches on. Great job.
Bizde adı çeyiz sandığı diye geçiyor. Çocukluğumda evde rahmetli anneanneden, 1900!lü yılların başından kalma yerel yapım bu sandığın başka bir modelinden vardı. Merak eder hep içine bakardım. Benim için hep hazine sandığı gibiydi ama içinde eski kumaşlardan başka bir şey yoktu :)). Ara sıra içinde saklandığım da olurdu. Toplumda antika zihniyeti olmadığından bu tür şeyler yayıntıdan başka bir şey değildi. Antikanın ileride değerli olacağı, manevi değeri hakkında kimsenin fikri yoktu. Ailesi Mısır'dan göç eden arkadaşım anlatmıştı, Yavuz Sultan Selim Mısır seferinde kullandığı üzerinde kendi turası olan seccadesi ve turası olan hamam tasını o dönem orada yaşayan ailesine hediye etmiş. Aile soyu galiba 19. yüzyılın sonlarında yaşadığımız şehre göç ediyor. Aile büyüğü anneannesi yaşlanıyor. 1970'li yıllarda atalarından miras kalan hediyeleri hurdacıya satarken yakalamış ve engel olmuş ama bir hafta sonra hurdacıya satmış. Niye yaptın diye sorduğunda, evde yayıntı yapıyor , eski püskü şeyleri evde ne yapayım demiş!!!! Kolay gelsin....
You did a great job, but you should have put hessian underneath the metal strips and not wall paper. The wall paper would have been great on the inside. I saw another box just like this one restored and it had leather strips on it as well pity about that. It does not look finished.
I liked the wallpaper idea but probably would've chosen a pattern that was closer to something that would've been appropriate for that time period. I do like the colors though and I liked when he put it in the refurbished wooden briefcase. The digital aritist in me would've taken a picture of the pattern on the inside in the clearest spot and done a repeat pattern to get printed for it. But that's the nerd in me.
I have one in similar condition that has the original tooled leather wrap under the metal straps it is totally shrunk and brittle. Can’t decide whether to replace the leather or just refinish the wood and repaint the metal straps
As always, the restoration work is perfect, my sincere congratulations. One final question: I am Lebanese and I immediately recognized the lute whose sound is beautiful and in Isa's hands it sounds wonderful, but I cannot distinguish the language in which he sings. Is it feasible that it be in Turkish language? Congratulations to Isa for his voice. Thank you very much in advance for answering. Greetings.

I wouldn't call this a restoration, I would call it a reconstruction. Impressive work.
Agreed!
Yup. A ship of Theseus if ever there was one. Fun to watch for sure

Therefore this project does not fit the description

It's absolutely amazing that it's possible do renovate it so well and reuse so much of the original material.
This was a joy to watch! A Master craftsman at work, bringing new life to a well loved, well worn treasure.

You just mutilated an old chest... Hello from Russia...
Olá, aqui é do Brasil.
It looks like it was made from old tea chest's or something with some of the writing on the inside . Useful for storing things in
