I really learned something today… the different sanding methods you demonstrated are invaluable. No other channel ever demonstrates them. I had to rewind and watch them over 3 times, but now I really understand it. I’m wondering if I could use both rear legs at the same time? Great fun! You made my day!
They really should make skate sanders that you attach to your feet for larger jobs. The extra pressure from your weight would mean you could use a finer grit.
This table arrived well packaged and on time. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxn94T8Mu1iMnsLCMNOI9srXSsLkI4JXKW Like another reviewer advised, I pulled everything out and made sure everything was included (everything was!). I built it alone and it took me about an hour. The color is great and for the price the lift part works well. As others have mentioned, it’s not the smoothest opening/closing, but it works. The screws do show, but I plan to order white sticker covers if that bothers us too much. Really happy with this table! UPDATE: it’s been over a year since we got this coffee table and we still love it! It gets HEAVY use as our dining table, foot rest, and school desk. Over time, the opening and closing mechanism has gotten smoother. I added a new photo with the white screw cover stickers. They blend in perfectly and make it look a little cleaner. 100% recommend!!!
I am so thankful you decided to record what you do. The care and knowledge you put into every project shown is incredible. It looked gorgeous at the end. Thank you very much!
Did y’all hear that? A sigh of relief and anticipation from this poor old table? So glad to finally be in the hands of a master. A very happy beautiful piece again. Thank you kind sir. Totally awesome!
I don’t know Ahti, I don’t think you’re normal at all. You are quite extraordinary in your craftsmanship. Your skills and talent never cease to amaze me. Another excellent job! Thanks for sharing with us.
Watched while drinking my morning cup of coffee. Almost spit it out when the rear leg sanding technique came on! Thanks for my morning laugh! Love your videos.
I loved the “rear leg” as if humans had front legs lol 🤗 One of the things that amazes me about your work, is that I truly can’t see the repairs. You’re better at that than almost anyone else I’ve found. Great job!🐝❤️🤗
When you first started I thought, why bother with that thing? Well, you showed me by turning it into a really nice-looking piece of furniture. Beautiful job! Thanks!
I'm learning to sand and my style is definitely Freestyle. The sanding machine is stronger than I. I loved the detail of the wood grain on the top of the table. Beautiful
Oh! Save me! That sanding bit had me breaking down in hysterics! I was also impressed by the outcome. You make it seem so easy to repair these poor babies. Keep up the good work!
It amazes me how you match the stain on new wood to the old. Great job! I love your sanding methods. I never thought of them when I felt like my arm would fall off. Thanks for the chuckles.
Well Ahte, you have done it again. Marvelous work, although freestyle sanding would be far too radical for me to attempt. Ever. Love your videos, I could watch them all day long.❤❤❤ Oh yes, the humor is a delight.
This will be certainly appreciated by a connoisseur of vintage art deco furnishings. I keep a shelf of vintage stripped veneer foro broken furniture too far gone to make repairs on others. It keeps the original feel to it.
OMG... Had to pause and comment...I was still LOLing over the "different sanding styles" up till the ironing of the veneer 😂🤣😂... funniest thing I've seen in a LONG time ... kudos and thanks for the much needed humor...now back to the video!
That was really amazing- I did no think it possible to restore this table so well and it look so natural! I am also going to try some "rear leg" sanding! 😉
Some people don't like your work because they say it looks new. I love that you restore things to they original beauty without being too intrusive. Thank you.
A new Olympic sport is created - freestyle sanding, perhaps a sub-sanding medal could be awarded to non-mechanical methods. The veneer on the top of the table looked lovely. Thank you for sharing and for your humour.
Magnificent sanding techniques! You are still the best furniture restorer in n RUclips! I’ve been watching from the earliest videos and I’m still learning something with each project you take on!
I watch whole bunch of restoration videos of all sorts, from tracktors, old guns, and wristwatches. Most of them look amateur next to you sir. Hat off. This is almost magic.
I love woodworking. I wanted to do it, but I’m 5ft, and my little hands just won’t allow for long turns with any equipment. I ended up with carpal tunnel surgery on both wrists after painting a basement. So I’m left to watch, and your channel is the best one! I wouldn’t have bothered with that table, but you have an eye for this. Thanks for such great uploads.
i love these videos. it may sound strange but i love HEARING the wood being restored... the sanding, the brush against the surface, etc... to me that's an important part of the experience.
Excellent work. The restored table makes you realise why this kind of 1930s design was attractive, in its day. Nowadays, all we see is some old, scuffed, shabby load of junk, but restored, it looks smart.
Oh my gosh, make MY weekend! Thanks! What a great restoration, I loved all the veneer fixes, how cool. ::snicker:: And the 'different sanding styles' was pretty awesome. Thank you again for posting, I love seeing at master at work!
I like the "footwork"-sanding and the "freestyle"-sanding-intermezzo very much, how funny! This kind of table I´ve seen before in my childhood (western europe). The shiny shellac look from "before" was not thus noble-looking. You turned it into a silky-matt shine, which is impressively worthy-looking. Congratulations for this outcome!
I had a 1930's Waterfall style bedroom set, complete with headboard, foot board, rails and 2 dressers. You restored this table to it's beautiful glory, but then you always do fabulous work. Such a pleasure watching you. Thank you.
As ever absolutely stunning and thanks to you that gorgeous piece of furniture will last another 80 or 90 years if not longer and thank you for all the hard work that you do
Fantastic! I had only seen rubber cement act as a glue. Whatever you used, I forgot, using the iron to seal the glue worked great. Beautiful color. Thanks so much for sharing. Be safe.
this video is hilarious. i love when your subdued yet sharp sense of humor shows through. and of course, i love your work-- the restoration looks beautiful and is entertainingly filmed and edited!!
I really like your videos. The transformation, the details and professionalism you put in every peace of furniture. Beautiful. Thank you for sharing these videos with us!
Marvellous transformation....to how it used to be. I love watching you work...so accurate and meticulous in everything you do. A true master...!! From England ❤
You did such a great job getting all the stain to match. I didn’t think it was possible. 😍. You are extraordinarily good at this. Every little nick, you fixed them all.
Was just wondering earlier today if there would soon be another video from AT, and here it is! Repair, staining and, of course, sanding were all noteworthy and, occasionally, hilarious. The end result was, as usual, stunning. Thank you Ahti!
I think that technique of sanding with your foot was the key to the success of this whole project. Genius.
I really learned something today… the different sanding methods you demonstrated are invaluable. No other channel ever demonstrates them. I had to rewind and watch them over 3 times, but now I really understand it. I’m wondering if I could use both rear legs at the same time? Great fun! You made my day!
🙃
Maybe if you're sitting down and using two sanders.
Or you attain master level: 5 sanders at once

Thank you for demonstrating the different sanding methods. I've always wanted to try the "rear leg", but would end up in the hospital at my age 🥴

You could teach a masterclass on stain matching. Always so impressed by your work.
I also love the humor!
Your humor is irresistible! Bravo! Another piece saved from the landfill.
I am so thankful you decided to record what you do. The care and knowledge you put into every project shown is incredible. It looked gorgeous at the end. Thank you very much!
13 minutes and 16 seconds of bliss, fun, great learning and humor.
Another generous gift!! Thank you so much.

Maybe there's something in the air of Estonia which causes the stains to match? So glad Finland and Sweden are now in NATO.

Thomas Johnson from Thomas Johnson Antique Furniture Restoration also doas a great job of stain matching and restorations in general
@@gianlucawille579 Yes he does, I watch him too and they work a lot alike, don’t you think?🐝❤️🤗
Jeszcze nie poznałeś renowatorów z Polski😀🤗,!
When you first started I thought, why bother with that thing?
Well, you showed me by turning it into a really nice-looking piece of furniture.
Beautiful job! Thanks!
You make everything look pretty effortless, this is the sign of true mastery. I also love your sense of humour 👍🏻😉
Without saying a word you are so entertaining! Love you videos. The table turned out so beautiful.
I'm learning to sand and my style is definitely Freestyle. The sanding machine is stronger than I. I loved the detail of the wood grain on the top of the table. Beautiful
The most difficult part for me is matching the colors if the old and new. This is where the skill and experience shows.
You had me rolling with the rear leg!
Oh! Save me! That sanding bit had me breaking down in hysterics! I was also impressed by the outcome. You make it seem so easy to repair these poor babies. Keep up the good work!
It amazes me how you match the stain on new wood to the old. Great job! I love your sanding methods. I never thought of them when I felt like my arm would fall off. Thanks for the chuckles.
Rear leg. Free style 🤣🤣👍🏻 Always good episodes. Thanks
"Rear leg style." 🤣🤣🤣
Beautiful restoration and another great video!
Rear leg? Do you have a front leg, centaur? Laughing and enjoying your artistry.
You are the rock star of furniture restoration. Turning every worn out, misused, and neglected item into a masterpiece.
Violated but now ameliorated! Love the veneer pattern.
Ameliorated- such a beautiful word!
Well Ahte, you have done it again. Marvelous work, although freestyle sanding would be far too radical for me to attempt. Ever. Love your videos, I could watch them all day long.❤❤❤ Oh yes, the humor is a delight.
I love watching you bring a poor, neglected piece back to beautiful life.
С восхищением наблюдаю как Вы даете этим старинным вещам новую жизнь. Удачи во всем!
It is always so good to see someone with this level of expertise in whatever they do. You're awesome
Thank you for showing us how beautiful a simple piece of furniture can become in your hands. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
This will be certainly appreciated by a connoisseur of vintage art deco furnishings. I keep a shelf of vintage stripped veneer foro broken furniture too far gone to make repairs on others. It keeps the original feel to it.

Oh wow, what a great result!
For me the next best thing in this video is the demonstration of different sanding styles 😁
i literally laughed out loud at that
@@davidroosa4561 Me too!
That was really amazing- I did no think it possible to restore this table so well and it look so natural! I am also going to try some "rear leg" sanding! 😉
И снова прекрасная работа. Спасибо за удовольствие просмотра!
I always love taking old and making new again in furniture, cars or buildings.
Impressive. Love how you match the stain between the existing veneer and the new veneer. It can be difficult.
Beautiful job!
Well done, Ahti! Beautiful job. Such care and attention to detail.
Also, I love your goofy side! The sanding "techniques" were hilarious! 😆
Some people don't like your work because they say it looks new. I love that you restore things to they original beauty without being too intrusive. Thank you.

"Violated" no more! Wow! You are truly an artist my friend. Thank you for restoring this piece, and the fine work that you do. God bless. Rev. D.
Outstanding restoration, as usually. Compliments from Odessa.
Magnificent sanding techniques! You are still the best furniture restorer in n RUclips! I’ve been watching from the earliest videos and I’m still learning something with each project you take on!
I’m happy to see your personality is being shared more. 💜
I watch whole bunch of restoration videos of all sorts, from tracktors, old guns, and wristwatches. Most of them look amateur next to you sir. Hat off. This is almost magic.
Вы большой мастер и у вас золотые руки! Благодарю, что даёте возможность насладиться высшим мастерством!
Always amazed at your ability to match old and new finishes. It's almost...... magical 👍
I love woodworking. I wanted to do it, but I’m 5ft, and my little hands just won’t allow for long turns with any equipment.

i love these videos. it may sound strange but i love HEARING the wood being restored... the sanding, the brush against the surface, etc... to me that's an important part of the experience.
You make furniture look way better than new. Bravo and very well done.👏👏👏👏👏
I love the work you do on restoring these awesome furniture pieces. Every one you work on is a masterpiece. Well done sir!
Ah-new technology: leg sanding! 😃. A masterful job with that veneer! It’s now a beautiful piece of furniture. ⭐️
I will never really see the attractiveness of veneer, but you do make it look beautiful.Thanks for the video.
I enjoy watching your restoration videos. It's so relaxing. I giggle at your humor. Beautiful table 😍
Another stunning transformation. And again, your colour matching skills are superlative. Wish we had such incredible restorers in South Africa 😞
Problem is that we don't have many suppliers of fineer in SA
Excellent work.
The restored table makes you realise why this kind of 1930s design was attractive, in its day.
Nowadays, all we see is some old, scuffed, shabby load of junk, but restored, it looks smart.
Great result on this table. I really like your work to let old furniture look as they were brand new. 👍 Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪🇺🇦
Once again, magician at work. Beautifully done.
So glad you posted another video. I’ve been waiting for awhile. I think you did a marvelous job on this table
Beautiful, beautiful piece!! Well done as always!!!❤️
It looks like new!!! Aannd,I learned some new sanding techniques!! ❤️🤣
Oh my gosh, make MY weekend! Thanks! What a great restoration, I loved all the veneer fixes, how cool.
::snicker:: And the 'different sanding styles' was pretty awesome.
Thank you again for posting, I love seeing at master at work!
The different sanding methods were very impressive and outstanding
I like the "footwork"-sanding and the "freestyle"-sanding-intermezzo very much, how funny! This kind of table I´ve seen before in my childhood (western europe). The shiny shellac look from "before" was not thus noble-looking. You turned it into a silky-matt shine, which is impressively worthy-looking. Congratulations for this outcome!
Great restoration, again! I hope you could show more in detail which brands of stain and shellac you use, and how you prepare them.
I had a 1930's Waterfall style bedroom set, complete with headboard, foot board, rails and 2 dressers. You restored this table to it's beautiful glory, but then you always do fabulous work. Such a pleasure watching you. Thank you.
What a great video. I learn so much from these and they're so relaxing and enjoyable. Great job.
As ever absolutely stunning and thanks to you that gorgeous piece of furniture will last another 80 or 90 years if not longer and thank you for all the hard work that you do
You did a great job matching the old and new woods on this one. Very nice.
Turned out really nice, enjoying the humor your adding to your videos.
Genius restoration!
Ahti, beautiful table restoration. Thank you for sharing your talents and techniques. 🌺
Fantastic! I had only seen rubber cement act as a glue. Whatever you used, I forgot, using the iron to seal the glue worked great. Beautiful color. Thanks so much for sharing. Be safe.
this video is hilarious. i love when your subdued yet sharp sense of humor shows through. and of course, i love your work-- the restoration looks beautiful and is entertainingly filmed and edited!!
Showing the different sanding techniques and then saying you are normal in the next sentence made me burst out laughing.
It's obvious that you really know your craft. Excellent work as usual. 👍
Such beautiful work… you are truly an artist!
I really like your videos. The transformation, the details and professionalism you put in every peace of furniture. Beautiful. Thank you for sharing these videos with us!
Больше года смотрю ваши видео, очень нравится ваш скилл и работы. Спасибо за то что делитесь опытом.
Great work as usual.
You did an outstanding job on this table. It is absolutely beautiful.
Thanks for sharing this video.
You have taught me so much.
Прекрасно! На заднем фоне старинный столовый стол, очень хочется увидеть, как Вы вернëте его к жизни
Hi Ahti
Another beautiful restoration!
Your eye for matching the old stain is incredible.
I can’t say anything that has not already been said. Thank you for sharing your talent.
I enjoy seeing how beautiful each of your pieces turn out. I look forward to your next piece.
Спасибо за красоту,которую Вы делаете! У Вас золотые руки
Marvellous transformation....to how it used to be.
I love watching you work...so accurate and meticulous in everything you do.
A true master...!!
From England ❤
professional restoration! Excellent job of matching the old and new finishes/stains.
You did such a great job getting all the stain to match. I didn’t think it was possible. 😍. You are extraordinarily good at this. Every little nick, you fixed them all.
Love the way you laid the wood grain. 💕♥️💕
Love watching your videos. Your charismatic personality charms all the time. Making learning more fun xx
Masterful work! The table looked brand new.
I love your sense of humor and you do a great job. Thank you
I run across old pieces at yard/estate sales but I don’t have the expertise to restore them. Nice watching a pro
Your ability to match the color and grain of your repairs is truly incredible.
Whenever I need to relax, I've always got an AT Restoratiobn video to watch.
Very nice transformation indeed!! I especially liked the different sanding techniques!! Lol
what can one say excellence . what a star you make it look so effortless .
Was just wondering earlier today if there would soon be another video from AT, and here it is! Repair, staining and, of course, sanding were all noteworthy and, occasionally, hilarious. The end result was, as usual, stunning. Thank you Ahti!
