I was really concerned when you started painting with orange paint but I should have known that you know exactly what you are doing. Another beautiful outcome
Your work always amazes me! Here, in the States, an old, beaten up piece such as this, would be sanded and finished with a colored chalk paint. Your artistry in creating a faux wood finish is what sets you apart. Lovely work!
You would be horrified at how much beautiful oak, walnut,cherry etc that I am asked to paint these days. Awful……. I now clear coat with shellac and then paint their pieces so that when the fashion changes they can recover that beauty more easily.
Watch Thomas Johnson Antique Furniture Restoration if you want to see an American who treats antique furniture properly. Putting a faux wood layer of paint on this is hardly different than rattle canning it, it's still covered in paint at the end of the day.
@@yarb2643 This is a piece of cheap pine furniture, and painting faux wood is exactly what they did with them when it was made. Love Thomas John:s videos by the way, watch them again and again.
I've seen many of your videos before but this one just stands out from all the rest. The way you managed to fully match the original paint was incredible and you make it look so easy. We are specialists in original painted furniture so this one really stands out to me. The paint is faux Rosewood and was used on pine in Eastern Europe in the 19th century to make it look like a more expensive piece than it really was. You have inspired me to make a couple of videos here and there!
Wonderful restoration. That cupboard was originally built very well. It was originally probably an expensive piece of furniture. It is great to see it restored in such a professional and pleasing manner.
So beautiful and I am so happy to see you posting again. For me I would have watched the entire process from beginning to end and never been bored. This was by far too short a video. Love your work and can't wait for the next one!
I didn't think this wardrobe looked as though it was worth saving, but after your magic touch it looks lovely. Please don't let us have to wait a month before your next video!
Never have seen painting/staining/stiff paperboard scraping to create a simulated woodgrain technique in combination before. Believeable result is stunning.
This restoration is absolutely impressive! The attention to detail really brings the 19th-century wardrobe back to life. For anyone interested in vintage solid wood wardrobes, Chuck’s WoodBarn LLC offers some incredible handcrafted options that might pique your interest. Thanks for showcasing such an amazing transformation!
I have to tell you you are one of my favorite furniture restores that I love to watch. There is only one other.. You are amazing and truly care about how your finished project looks. Thank you so much!!!❤❤
And once again firewood becomes fine furniture! It's so entertaining to watch a master restore and rejuvenate classic furniture into basically works of art. Thanks again, as always, for sharing your awesome work with us. Be well, stay safe and God bless. Rev. D.
Excellent work! Looking at the original piece i assume it is some kind of softwood that had wood graining effect applied to it, in the same way modern furniture would make use of thin real wood veneers, or in the case of many manufacturers, printed images of real wood. That this traditional techniques has lasted so long is testimony to the quality of the original work. Your ability to match this after over 100 years is testimony to your own skill. Although you have focussed more upon the new techniques this piece provided the opportunity for displaying, you have included sufficient material on your repairs and renewal of the damaged material prior to finishing to remind us how well versed in your profession you are. Not only do you do it well, you make it look easy. As a woodworking teacher of over 25 years experience I can vouch that none of what you have shown is as easy as you make it look. I have enjoyed all your pervious videos and look forward to seeing what else you have to show us in the future. The calm music and lack of constant narration only makes your videos more watchable in my opinion. Proof it is not necessary to maintain a stream of (often) pointless babble just to remind us you are there, like the proverb about empty vessels making the most noise, which some content providers would do well to learn.
Your an artist. I like it what youcan do. About my taste, I will see the wardrobe in a matte colour of charcoal or even black in dtread of faux woor appereance. But your eye for the details and attention payed on is wonderful
Wie wunderschön es ist das du den alten Möbeln ihre wunderbare Ausstrahlung lässt. Ich finde es furchtbar wenn so schöne alte Stücke nachher nicht wieder zu erkennen sind.👏👏
I have asked you this before, but it is quite notable in this video - that little finishing plane that you use on the patches and plugs you had to insert to repair this piece must be kept razor sharp! A plane that is even slightly dull will rip and mar the wood, something i know from experience. Asidefrom being the master of refinishing and repair, you are the master of tool maintenance. Thanks again.
Becareful Ahti, I learnt to never step inside a wardrobe. It ends up going over the edge of a cliff and filling up with water, all the while with The Cure playing "Close To Me". Love how you are able to blend the new with the old, making it indiscernable. Taking a 19th.C. cupboard to new condition.
I would of never believed this piece of neglected furniture could of ever become beautiful again. You sir are the wood king of all kings. Very impressive. ❤️❤️❤️
You are a fabulous artist wood worker. I watch you work these details and I am enthralled. I love how you recreate something old to something new but old still.
That faux wood painting is something else! I love it. You are an artist. You gave the wardrobe just the right amount of update, and it looked original all over again.
I admit, I wasn't sure where you were going with this midway through the video--I thought, "Wait--he's not going to strip and stain it?" Then when I saw the orange paint, I was really confused. But your faux wood finish turned out beautifully! You gave this damaged, beat up piece new life. And I love that you replaced the door pull as well--it suits the piece perfectly. Well done!
WOW!!! I am amazed by this one. Never thought to use the oil paint this way to match or even the orange under layer. You do terrific work. Thank you for sharing this. Have a great day
I would never have thougth that orange paint and brown on top could result in something so beautiful! This is just another confirmation that you are a true master craftsman!
Everyone wake up AT Restoration posted 🎉🎉
This is the most interesting restoration I've ever seen. Fascinating technique with the paintbrush and torn cardboard. A real master at work!
If I hadn't seen the wood taken down to bare, I'd have never known it wasn't wood! What a MASTER!!!
I was really concerned when you started painting with orange paint but I should have known that you know exactly what you are doing. Another beautiful outcome
I was going to comment the same exact thing about the orange paint. It looks amazing!!!!
@@angeltaraila6868 Same here! The end result is outstanding! AT Restoration = Craft plus History :)
Me three.
Same here!! It looks amazing
Today I learned that orange paint plus a bit of cardboard makes ebony wood! 😂 Joking aside, it was remarkable.

I think you’re conflating “restoration” and “renovation”
Ce n'est pas qu'un fabuleux travail, mais vous avez respecté l'histoire, la forme et la couleur de l'objet. C'est rare de nos jours. Bravo 👏 👏 👏
Entièrement d'accord!
Hay que ser un buen manitas para rescatar lo antiguo, un gran trabajo de delicadeza.
Moi aussi, j'aime beaucoup!
Absolutely jaw-dropping. I still cannot believe I just watched this. 😱😱 You are no restorer my friend, you are an artist 👏👏👏👏
Every time I watch one of these videos all I can think of is"the touch of the Master's hand"

Wonderful work. The cardboard “tool” for the faux finish is a great idea.
The pieces you find to restore & bring back to what they were meant to be....... absolutely beautiful restoration

6:18 😜😆🤭💩 Cheeky!
8:30 😳🤩🤯😎 Gorgeous and brilliant!
Well done sir! I am thoroughly impressed.
So happy you’re safe and able to keep showing us your amazing craftsmanship. You are in a league of your own 🎨 🪵
The completed wardrobe is beautiful. Thanks for sharing the video with us. I admire your talent.
ALWAY LOVE TO SEE YOUR WORK

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐excelente work,for you,hugs from Portugal 🙏🍀
How's this guy not have millions of subs, he's the My Mechanics of wood.
My grandfather was a carpenter and marquetry maker. He was born in 1905. He would be happy with the guys now. Thanks for keeping the knowledge.

You left enough imperfections that it looks authentically old yet beautiful!
I’m immensely pleased that these pieces fall into your hands. You do them proud. Love your work.
Nothing wrong with old school ways my friend. Your beautiful work here is proof of that. : )
I always like 👍 your uploads before watching them because I know I'm going to like it
Fab job replicating the faux wood grain finish with the trusty little scrap of cardboard. well done!
I have to tell you you are one of my favorite furniture restores that I love to watch. There is only one other.. You are amazing and truly care about how your finished project looks. Thank you so much!!!❤❤

Fantastic! I was especially ticked by the teeny tiny green belt sander at 3:39 … I have never seen such a cute tool!
It’s mesmerizing how you transform these pieces. Love your work!
Brilliant work with the faux wood. For a moment I was worried by the bright orange base.
Excellent work!

It looks easy because I cut the mistakes out :) I also tried different techniques with graining, but only one seemed right.
Your an artist. I like it what youcan do. About my taste, I will see the wardrobe in a matte colour of charcoal or even black in dtread of faux woor appereance. But your eye for the details and attention payed on is wonderful
I thought the Wooden Spool Handle was a cute idea! 😊 Good Work!

The original wood was lovely. Restoring it would have been lovely, too.
Beautiful again for another 150 years!

WOW!!! I am amazed by this one. Never thought to use the oil paint this way to match or even the orange under layer. You do terrific work. Thank you for sharing this. Have a great day
I would never have thougth that orange paint and brown on top could result in something so beautiful! This is just another confirmation that you are a true master craftsman!
Very good faux finish technique!
Recreating the original finish was GENIUS!! How do you know how to do all these things. You are just amazing.
