I do woodworking in my spare time, building furniture pieces, and watching this man do what he does is so inspiring. I learn something new with every video he produces. I thank you, dear sir, for you sharing your knowledge and skill. You are my teacher! Thank you! I am a better woodworker because of you!
Ahti, I cried. 🥺your work is so amazingly beautiful. I'm an old woman now, and so many of my beautiful pieces have gone to the dump because no one wanted to restore them. Thank you for caring 💝
I am so happy that there are clients who believe that furniture like this should be restored. It is a beautiful piece. I am very happy that you share the restoration with us.
I agree with you 💯 percent!! Very solid point! Having the knowledge and the tools to restore these fine pieces, is a great recipe, to brand it back to beauty and a new life, instead of using it for firewood, or discarding it for other means.
@@mikemactavish1665 I would still consider it the same cabinet. A lot was replaced, but more was left original than was replaced. And yes, it was beautifully done❤️🤗🐝

I thought that too, I believe it falls under the Ship of Theseus paradox.But is not like it could be used the way it was, it would probably end up disposed, so anything done is better then nothing

Высокое уважение вам за ваше мастерство. И большая благодарность тем людям, кто создал такие замечательные инструменты, приспособления, лаки, растворители для работы таких мастеров. Молодцы все!
Wow Ahti, you ARE an EPIC Furniture Restoration Sensation! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Another beautiful Art Nouveau piece brought back from the dead. Very much enjoyed the recreation of the carving and all the other details that made that crunchy cookie a beautiful piece of furniture again.
Ahti, you are truly a master craftsman!! Any fool with a laser engraver and computer could have re-created that flower design, but you carved the entire thing BY HAND!! That, sir, is true dedication to your craft. Another beautifully rescued and restored piece! Well done! ❤❤❤
The people with lasers and CNC's are enjoying hobbies, too. Let's avoid denigrating anyone that finds pleasure in woodworking, regardless of the tools they choose or are able to master. Those "fools" may develop a greater interest in other woodworking projects and skills and help rebuild a flagging interest in the craft. Let's not discourage anyone, even those can't figure out how to use a computer. 😉
@DavZell you're absolutely right. I did not mean to shame anyone using such equipment, just wanted to emphasize Ahti's skill. Thank you for pointing that out!
You never cease to amaze me with your master craftsmanship. That was an amazing repair, on a beautiful cabinet. Thank you for allowing us to be apart of it all!!!
How beautiful this turned out. I think you are happiest when you get to recreate the beauty that was like those flowers on the front. You do such great work with your hands and it is just WOW. Have a wonderful day and I certainly hope the client is happy as well.
Каждый ролик этого замечательного Мастера смотрю с чувством большого уважения и восхищения. Как хорошо, что есть такие люди с золотыми руками и художественным вкусом.
A new video - what a joy! Good to see that the workshop is in good condition again and that all the machines are in their place. That must have been a lot of work. I look forward to every new video. Your craftsmanship is very special and outstanding. Warm greatings from Berlin 😊
Wow, you brought that back from the brink of death. Great work! Happy to see that your workshop has recovered from the flood and that you're still in business
Not having a cabinetmaking background, I always learn something new from your videos, Ahti. I didn't know there was any such thing as bile soap or gall soap as it is known here in Australia. It's the restoration techniques you use, that fascinates me. Then the payoff of seeing the restored article. It really is a treat.
@@m.b.3248 You can tell, just by what it came from that bile soap must have been around for thousands of years. No part of a farm animal was wasted, when it came to making use of its body parts.
Потрясающая "резня" по дереву! Отличная работа! На процесс восстановления старинной мебели можно смотреть бесконечно! И поражает количество разнообразных станков. Спасибо!
Wow, Ahti. What a magnificent save and transformation! You did right by this lovely cabinet. Thanks for sharing this with us all and the hard work you went through to get it back to a usable condition. Thanks!
Giving antiques into your hands is the best a customer can do on the entire planet. ❤ The results are always awesome. 🎉 Thanks for this great video. Greetings from Germany 😊
I'm happy that this piece was put into your hands for the restoration job. You carried on "Business as Usual" by completely remaking it vs cleaning it up & restraining, etc... You ALWAYS go that extra mile with the attention to detail that you give your work. You mentioned 12 man hours spent remaking this but that's not what counts. I could spend 12 hours on the same project & it wouldn't have been close to what your final product is. Lovely work & I really enjoy your channel. Thank you & sending you good vibes from Southern California USA 🇺🇲
@@SimplyRegOoops!You are so VERY VERY right & my apologies! He said 12 days not hours and that's a HUGE difference. 🤔 Even though I knew it but typed it "rong", I still wouldn't be able to come close to what he was able to do! Good vibes my friend! 🤟
Amazing. Literally back from furniture underworld. From condition close to firewood (maybe even beyond) a nice, functional piece and a great deal of stories and memories for those involved.
WOW... this is beyond restoration. It is cabinet making and high craftsmanship all together. 75% of the cabinet was rebuilt. I was amazed not only by the expensive equipment but from the talent just carving by hand. I would have not known what to do and resorted to paint it.
Все чаще задаю себе вопрос. Для чего нужен человек? В современности кроме мусора и прочих гадостей «цивилизации» мы после себя ничего не оставляем. Очередной раз посмотрела как из рухляди человек создает волшебство, и начинаю осознавать, если есть такие люди как этот замечательный мастер, может не все потеряно и все еще можно спасти? ❤
I've worked with several wormy pieces of wood and furniture restoration and found wood hardener great for stabilizing the wood and keeping the authenticity of the pieces. The look of the worm holes adds interest.
The craftsmanship you put into the pieces is absolutely stunning... You have an eye for detail that is remarkable to say the least. The way you hold your hands to use the tools and instruments is of a true artist crafting your piece to life again. I truly appreciate your videos and your time.😊 Watching from Tennessee
Wow, what a restoration. As always, your talent never ceases to amaze me. You take furniture that others would throw away and make them like new again. The green glass is gorgeous - it sparkles like crystal - and the carved doors are just as they were. Congratulations, it is magnificent!! With best wishes from Down Under 😊💕🇦🇺.
This restoration blew my mind! I had no idea how you would fix that worm eaten door and when you stenciled the pattern I was just stunned! You are a true master of your craft! I'm so delighted with how this turned out ❤❤
After 12 days and a lot of very skilled work, this cabinet is now a beautiful, restored piece of furniture, ready to be used. I hope it lasts for another 100 years.
your passion is clearly shared. how devoted to detail you are. the simple and common sense, old school and patience. just a master craft. only YOU. thanks,
Wowsers...I'm going to need some coffee with all those "wafers" 😂 Absolutely amazing restoration...truly clawing this one back from the brink...a project which I'm sure many other restorers would have turned down for sure. Thank you for sharing your expertise with us Ahti!
As usual, an unbelievable restoration! You did a beautiful job and as I've said before you are the most talented woodworker on RUclips - everything, every time is amazing!
Thank you for letting us watch you work on Old furniture you do a great job I see so much furniture being thrown away I can't save it all it takes me time to fix it I've slowed down but I try God bless you and your family and friends blessings to all
My late father was a Carpenter/Joiner. I used to love watching him in his workshop, the smell of wood in the air. Even now, many years later, if i smell wood it takes me back to those lovely days, times spent watching him. Thank you for video. Looks amazing. ❤
Wow, how I missed your wonderful videos! This cabin was so damaged, but after one intensive therapy with this restoration master it turned into this beautiful piece of furniture. I am amazed by your expertise! Once again, bravo!!!👏👏👏🌷
That made me really happy seeing the doors recreated with such care and artistry. I presume this client is a vampire since they wanted it red this time, I hope they do a better job at keeping the wood worms away the next hundred years. :)
Does anyone else find watching furniture restoration therapeutic?
Definitely!!! Calming enough I catch myself dozing at times🤭. Not bc they are boring but bc they are relaxing and everyday life stresses are put out of mind so the brain can chill out...😊😔
Absolutely ❣️ if I could still work I would be doing this❣️
They are addictive

Ahti, I cried. 🥺your work is so amazingly beautiful. I'm an old woman now, and so many of my beautiful pieces have gone to the dump because no one wanted to restore them. Thank you for caring 💝
I like that you don't narrate your videos. It allows me to just focus on your superb craftsmanship
A true craftsman doesn’t have to narrate…you’re watching an artist at work..no words needed
Where does he live? Does he speak English?
Watching the restoration of that cabinet was like witnessing the resurrection of a dead person. It was amazing.
I showed my husband a bit of your work on this and he said -deadpan- „I hate him.“ Truly the highest compliment.
I am so happy that there are clients who believe that furniture like this should be restored. It is a beautiful piece. I am very happy that you share the restoration with us.
Agreed.
It was fun to watch, but the only sensible thing to have done here is of course throw away the thing, what a mess.
@@urchinsea6297 Cost aside, I imagine it would take a lot longer to make this cabinet from scratch than restore it.
I agree with you 💯 percent!! Very solid point! Having the knowledge and the tools to restore these fine pieces, is a great recipe, to brand it back to beauty and a new life, instead of using it for firewood, or discarding it for other means.
If you have lots of money to pay for the restoration, do it. But its really firewood for most of us.
From trash to treasure, it turned out beautifully. The 3d flower was exceptional, you could sell those for a handsome price.
If it weren’t for the distinctive green glass panels, I would never believe it was the same cabinet. You did a superb job!❤️🤗🐝
It wasn't the same cabinet . . . he replaced so much . . . came out great though didn't it
