JUNK from a neighbors basement! || Antique Cabinet Restoration with interesting discovery.

- The neighbors were doing some cleaning in the basement and did not believe that this cabinet could regain its former glory. The intention was to preserve the original materials as much as possible and at the lowest possible price.
While doing the work, we found a small treasure in an unseen place.

You kept it's "history" but enabled it to be used for more years to come. The true meaning of restoration! Wonderful work!
Thanks🙂
absolutely beautiful transformation-I think the original maker would be proud to know this piece is still so beautiful
Nice to hear that🙂 Thank you!
Wow! What a difference! You gave that piece more decades of life!
Thanks! 🙂
Absolutely worth saving. Please note this is not a criticism, but a question... have you considered using pegs instead of nails? Nails tend to work themselves loose or out over time, while well glued pegs are period to piece's construction and will strengthen the bottom just as your adding chunks with glue on other parts of bottom.
I didn't think about it during the renovation, but I think you're right. We don't get to reconstruct such elements often, but I will definitely consider your solution in the future. Thanks for leaving a comment and advice :)
Maybe horseshoe-type nails? Old nails kind of resemble those. I really thought that old bottle was going to turn out to be a laudanum one.
Square/cut nails literally cut the wood because they have 4 sharp distinct sides with sharp edges. A modern nail pushes into the wood & displaces it because it is round & smooth. This is why antique nails do less damage than modern nails. Modern horseshoe nails are similar in look to square nails, but are still pretty smooth. They do make thinner ones that would displace less wood, but not sure if they are better than round nails. It's a good question.
Good tip. I will look around for the nails you mentioned and try them out at the next opportunity.

I love the restoration you did not painting the piece but saving the beauty of wood. Great job. Thank you for the video
I don't like painting wood, I prefer its natural look. Every time I try to find the best potential for a piece of furniture. Sometimes it works ;) Thanks!
What a beautiful rescue this was. Thank you so much for returning this lovely piece back to it's former glory. Now it can be used by another family for another life.
Many thanks! The owner is very please with the new form.
A piece worth owning! Excellent!
The work you do goes beyond restoration, and how to bring to life something that has been forgotten in time. Congratulations on the beautiful work and keep it up. A hug straight from Brazil
Thank you 🙂
Fantastic job this piece will last for many more years to come thanks to the two of you
Thanks! 🙂
Love your detailed work. Drawer corners to perfection, polishing with oil, the feet, not flattening the beautiful curve of the top edge. They just don't make quality like this anymore.
Thank you very much for kind words. Period furniture has its own charm. It's always hard to give them away after renovation :)
I watch lots of furniture restoration. You're by far the best video videographor. And the quality of your work is stellar. Definitely look forward to more.
Thank you very much for these words! This is a great motivation for further work😊
You have excellent woodworking skills. The restoration looks great!
It's nice to read this. Thanks!🙂
It looks beautiful and you did a wonderful job restoring it as well!!!!
I enjoyed your video so I gave it a Thumbs Up
Thank you for your kind words and giving me a thumbs up 🙂
This is one of the most incredible transformations I’ve ever seen. Just beautiful ! Great work !
Thank you so much 🙂
Excellent! You did an amazing job on this beautiful cabinet.
Thank you! 🙂
Beautiful.
I envy your patience and your attention to detail. You're my hero.
You display the patients of a saint working on those corners! Bless you.
Thank you.
Beautiful rescue of a very nice cabinet
Thank you!🙂
I think you were very wise to hand sand and scrape whenever possible. The result is superior to power tools, and shows in your excellent result!
Thanks for appreciating my work 🙂
Beautiful little cabinet!! Your work is meticulous!! Thank you for sharing!!
Thank you🙂
I love a little helper appearing time to time 🤭
I also recently read an advice about drilling a hole for the nail with the nail itself (clip off the head first) so that it doesn’t remove the fibers and with time they puff up and hold the nail stronger!
Thank you for feedback and advice!
You guys did a great job on this piece. I have so happy that you saved it! ! ! ! ! Katie
The neighbor is also happy😉 Thanks for comment!
Outstanding!

New sub here......just keep on going like this, “restoring” to the natural beauty. Love the grain on that door and drawer; great job patching the drawer molding!

Complimenti ...hai fatto un buon restauro ...sicuramente potrai migliorare perché hai le capacità per diventare una professionista...se ti posso dare un consiglio da collega ...cerca di essere sempre curiosa e mettiti sempre alla prova . Buon lavoro .Paolo dell'Italia 😊
Ogni ristrutturazione per me è una sfida. Impariamo costantemente. Grazie per le gentili parole! :)
Really beautiful work.
Thank you :)
Very nice work, love the piece of furniture.

An excellent job on a very beat up piece of furniture, you have a very careful attention to detail and color matching of the whole piece 🙏🏽👍🏽👏🏾
Thank you very much :)
Absolutely priceless!!!

You did a beautiful job!
Thank you! Cheers!
Some of the best looking junk I've ever seen.
Thanks! 🙂
Отличная реставрация... без дорогущих станков и множеста химических средств 👍
Thanks! 🙂
Beautiful restoration!
I like the way you pick an area or a side and then proceed to show us how you repaired it.
You taught me a few things along the way too.
In the end, I hope you had fun.
You will never please everyone, so, do it how you like.
Some folks like puppies or kittens, others like "hippopotamuses". Do it your way, including any fingernail polish color you want.
Stay curious, keep up the good work and good luck with YOUR channel.
Thank you for your inspiring comment. Regards!🙂
Beautiful!
Thanks!
Great job!
Thank you! :)
Nice you managed to bring it back as it was pretty far gone 👍
Did you apply any woodworm treatment or were they also far gone ?
Luckily, I didn't find any woodworm during renovation - this made things a bit easier :) Thank you 🙂
Very, very nice. Good Job.
Thank you 😀
patching legend, nice work, how do you decide when to do square patch and when to do a curvy one?
Hello! On larger surfaces I prefer rounded one, it looks more natural so it is easier to "hide", on smaller areas you can replace the whole piece of veneer like on the door frame - made rhomb shape. Thanks 🙂
@@refitmarket thank you! It definitely looks more or even really natural to me if you do it this way.
Gorgeous work ❤
Thank you! :)
That was a fantastic find.
That's right.🙂 Thanks for comment!
I did some rearranging, decorating with Goodwill things and a few wooden pieces out of the garage , cleaning my room,I got a few cheap wooden pieces I can stack, we both have a room for crafts, starting seeds and our bedroom. I made 2 salads (apple salad and chicken dip). Today I'm going through papers to shred, I got that Gracie dog 5lbs of sweet potatoes in the dehydrator that Wes cut up that Wes picked up Saturday when his daughter took him with her to pick up her order at Wal-Mart. There's always markdowns to look at. I hope you had a great weekend but it seems like there is no time when there's garden growing. My daughter is coming 3/9 for our grandchild's wedding and hopefully she gets to bring her only grandchild. It's in Indiana and we live in Illinois 40 minutes from there.
So beautiful.
😅😅😅😅 parabéns lindíssimo muito sucesso
Thanks! 🙂
Great job! But the black nail polish was somewhat distracting...😋
Gloves sometimes make work difficult. Regards :)
Simply beautiful 😍
Thank you! 😊
It looks great; you really did "bring it back from the dead."
Very nice
Thanks :)
