    I always wondered "This guy is simply amazing at fixing old things, no matter what part is broken, he can fix it.... so surely he can make something entirely from scratch? Why doesnt he?"
    Thank you for proving that hypothesis! Very nice.
    Do you enjoy making from new as much as fixing old?

      I have always thought the same thing. I'm sure he can make a TON of money designing and making his own items. Not that I would want him to stop restoring, though. There are too many awesome pieces out there that need his sweet touch!

    Could this be adapted to a multifunctional craft room?

    Need another bench/desk for my woodworking in the garage.

    300 each 6 days of labor... £1000-2000 desk if you were selling them. Not sure I'd pay that for the simplistic design but it came out nice. I think the top probably could have been half as thick and you'd still be fine. You'd save a bunch in materials anyway. Also should have put some kind of wire pass through in the back to go into the wire tray.
    Outstanding work as always. Very inspiring

    • @ATRestoration
      @ATRestoration  7 месяцев назад +1

      When doing mass production, there should be a discount on materials. Some of the works should be automated, like drilling the holes. Then maybe it takes only one day per table, instead of five days. The cost would still be around 800-1000€ because there are many other costs related to production, taxes and so on.

    Two pieces of furniture using totally modern construction and materials, not normally your style. Looks great, but something that you could probably pick up from any modern furniture store. I understand why you would need to make these. It’s probably proving a point that you can. I don’t know if I would want to watch you do this again, I’d rather watch you restore furniture.
