The use of the sandbag to secure the rounded area for glue-up is genius!!!❤

[@lauralake7430]

Stealing this idea

[@vickiefowler1429]

It was brilliant! I’m stealing it, too!

[@roballison3281]

I won't forget that one !!!

[@СергейСнегирь-ы6д]

this method is described in old Soviet books on furniture restoration

[@vickiefowler1429]

@@СергейСнегирь-ы6д … that’s probably why we amateur furniture restorers here in the west (US) have never heard of it. While I was watching the video and saw him put the sandbag on… my jaw dropped! And I thought to myself “why has nobody shown this trick before now?” It’s just pure genius!

[@benediktmorak4409]

I like it as it is. No silly words. No - Houston we have a problem - sentences. No screaming Music. Just great work. And when and where needed an explanation. And since i just like watching the episodes, it doesn't matter to me when some of the explanations don't make any sense to me.

[@lourias]

Amen! I cannot stand music in the background, also. The producers never play the kind that I like! Besides all of that and most important, it is horribly distracting!

[@TukikoTroy]

So basically... not an American restorer lol

[@readMEinkbooks]

And no bad sanding and then painting with white chalk paint!

[@KarenL-qt7dy]

That bed has lasted over 70 years, and now it will last another 100 years, at least. Great work, as always.

[@Jen39x]

This makes me understand why they bought what I’ve always thought of as ugly furniture. Wasn’t ugly when it was new. Loved the nearly eye level ride through the table saw

[@marlonmangonon176]

This guy's hands have magic!!! He turns scraps to gold!!!

[@JuanARivera-z9d]

I dont know about that mike Meyers get up.

[@PhantomFilmAustralia]

I found veneered '50s wood furniture to be a pain to work on. Then the '70s rolled around with the faux wood veneer on particle board, and I quickly grew to appreciate '50s furniture. 😂

[@iglitsa]

that's a point!

[@davidgalietti3398]

It must be so satisfying to take items that have been written off as junk and restore them to something beautiful and useful.

[@CalicoShadowPlusCat]

It simply amazes and astounds me how you can take a piece of furniture I would have been certain was headed for the dump or to a burn pile and resurrect it to the point that I would be proud to have it in my own house had I the room for it. Beautiful restoration! Again I love watching your videos and look forward to the next one!

[@Cat_Lover365]

Ahti, you're so funny. I am sure there are many people who are so glad they know "the guy who will restore anything"! 💕 Yet another restoration that shows your remarkable talent and skill!

[@darilynkrupp6309]

A couple years ago I was looking for wood furniture restoration videos. I watched many and was disappointed with the majority of what I saw. The wood pieces weren't made sound nor were they prepared properly. On almost all the finish showed the lack of care. Finding your channel made me so pleased. I kept thinking, "Yes! That's the way you do it." The items were sound, completely usable and the wood finish glowed as if lit from within. Thank you for the joy your videos bring me.

[@lynnjasen9727]

It’s true! There are a couple of men in Germany who do similar quality work, but that’s about it. 🇨🇦💕

[@jannamarie3990]

Your patience, talent and attention to detail never fails to amaze me! Wonderful job as usual! ❤❤❤

[@maryannecross4220]

Looks fantastic 👏👏👏👏🇬🇧

[@susansaadati6998]

I like the poor guy who’s willing to restore anything! He’s very very good at what he does.😊

[@nancyring8104]

This restoration turned out beautifully, as all your work does!! The two main things that I have learned from you are- disassemble before starting repairs, and, when gluing, use more clamps!!😁❤️😍

[@a0flj0]

I believe it was Matthias Wandel (ex-Blackberry engineer turned YT maker - but his father was a carpenter) who did some experiments with gluing strength. It turns out, with PVA, the smoother the gluing surfaces the stronger the joint is, even if this is counter-intuitive. Rough surfaces cause the glue layer to be thicker, and it seems PVA glue is strongest when the glue layer is thinnest.

[@josephinehogg3629]

Oh Good Grief! I had a bed identical to this one, back in the 1950's. It was quite a shock to see it again and it looks so beautiful restored! ☺ I think one of my favourite parts of watching you work, is painting/rubbing on the Shellac. I can even still remember the smell of shellac! My dearly departed husband was a Carpenter/Joiner Cabinet Maker and I loved watching him work too

[@iracema1]

I'm not a woodworker myself, but I love your videos! It is great that you take distressed or unwanted pieces and turn them into the centerpiece of your clients' homes. Keep up the good work!

I’m loving the sandbag trick! 👍🏻

[@monicagooch5906]

Me too!

[@tomrailton9201]

This man is a genius. I am glad that I stumbled across his channel. Only trouble I don't get any house work done I just sit and watch his videos.

[@autodidactin]

Always impressed with your color matching skills Ahti! A deceptively simple design, but the curved surfaces made it challenging. Loved the “sandbag clamp,” so inventive!

[@xtender5]

Wow, I guess your client really likes that bed. Some of us get phantom pains from the memory of sleeping on the mattresses that used to go with beds like these. 😂

[@saxandrew100]

Recognizable, thorough professional work, thanks to which the old furniture is reborn. My recognition.

[@sharonlaster2767]

You make the cheap look expensive. I think the client will be very pleased with the result.

[@MrVince8]

My favorite restoration guy.

[@karencox3235]

Okay, I LOVE the camera on the board at 12:45! Great shot!

Помню такие кровати. Простые до безобразия, но ностальгия. Других-то не достать было. А мы другу на свадьбу кровать 2 месяца делали, собирали уже внутри нового дома, на клей и шпильки. Из массива, но под Италию. Шикарно получилось. С резными ангелочками на стойках. Матрас сами клеили и шили из поролоновых матов. Все-таки конец 1980-х.

[@sirmiyu]

I can watch his videos all day. Always top quality. Never disappoints.

[@isabelleblanchet3694]

The sand bag trick is great!

[@EllenMorrison-v5c]

Thanks for the ride through the saw. Yes, I’m paying attention now! Wonderful restoration. Beautiful, and you taught me a lot, as always.

[@girlnorthof60]

If I was in the room I still wouldn't get such a clear, close-up view of your work as I do in your vlogs. Like watching a sports video, I can pause, rewind & see details I missed. A+ lighting/editing etc. Trying to say "great video production as well as fantastic workmanship, Ahti. You never disappoint" 👋Pat- Yukon

[@murt4718]

Lots of REPAIRS executed meticulously! Well done👏👏👏

[@cab102361]

I love that you do not destroy but preserve the furniture as it was originally designed. ❤❤❤❤

[@martihurford]

Beautiful results. ♥️ And……. Thanks for the information about the expansion of wood and veneer. I always learn something from your videos. Appreciate you taking the extra time in editing to include useful details.

[@martinamaack4940]

Das Bett. hatte ein haufen Kratzer und Beschädigungen , nach der Reparatur sieht es wie Neu aus ❤❤

[@megabit101]

Wow, that is so smart the sandbag, that takes form on it to seal glue. Bravo. Golden! What a beautiful job you did. Well done!

[@LarryJohnson-c5u]

I watch several furniture restoration shows and yours is my favorite. One, you do excellent work; two, you don't talk a lot. Thanks for the great shows. Larry, Arkansas, USA

[@RomantiCynic]

Thank goodness for this guy! How else would we get such great restoration videos?!!

[@BrassMtn]

That is a rough project! I would have never gave that one the time of day! But you did. Thank you for the new video and I support you! Good work sir! Awesome video as always

[@johnnyfeher3412]

Awesomeness! Just right to watch on a cosy Sunday morning... I kept nodding off, took me an hour to watch it! 😆

[@kurthansen570]

Astonishing how you turned this piece of old junk into a nice looking bed. It still is a 50’s bed with the veneer and all, but you made it stand out as a nice piece of furniture. Thanks a lot for my viewing pleasure.

[@RosesRblue66]

I really truly love your videos. Relaxing, informative, enjoyable, even humorous on occasion (almost always) I’m a 66 year old grandma whose hobby is sewing but always had wished I had taken up carpentry! 💗

[@mrsquirell879]

I've been watching one video of you every night for the last month. I need more, I am addicted 😂 Keep up the good work 🔥

[@raywood8187]

You can make something simple into something classy. What an artist you are!

[@petervandermolen4089]

This humble functional piece restored in full glory! Estonishing as my wife said!

[@leewood729]

Nothing ornate, just elegant simplicity. Lovely save - and as a tall person, I can appreciate wanting a long bed! Some of the antique beds are incredibly short.

[@TukikoTroy]

If nobody restores 'unpopular' furniture then they will be lost from history. Which imho is a crime. Hey, cool camerawork on the saw table :D

[@shellydehart8217]

Absolutely beautiful piece back from the 50ty’s n on to another 70ty plus years n more. You are so brilliantly gifted. To take a piece of furniture apart . Restore what needs to be done n amazingly put it back together with great patience n skill blows me away. Love that wonderful idea of using a sand bag. You know all the tricks in making it work. I hope your client appreciates the beautiful work you done. I’m sure he does as that is why he came to in the first place. I have no more words say except two…Your awesome! ♥️♥️😊👍👍👍👏👏🌟

[@TD-zl6dx]

I like the different camera angles. Very creative. Thanks for another great video!

Another fantastic restoration from you ❤ and here's another proof Estonians are really tall 😍

[@maramakesjournals2319]

Funny James Bond view of the buzz saw. I love that old veneer furniture. I saw that stuff when I was a kid. My daughter has a dresser that was my brother’s. The veneer needs slight repair. After watching you do it many times, I told my daughter I’d give it a try someday. 💜💜💜

[@michalwarszawski]

[@XL-5117]

Haha, that’s one boring bed that was surely headed for the skip! That is until someone looked at it twice and thought it could be saved. I like plain and simple furniture, and this one came out great, well worth saving. Always a pleasure seeing you work your magic.

[@gayle525]

It came out extremely beautiful. Nice work.

[@frelnc]

That sandbag trick was sheer brilliance. And the thin, flexible plywood to hold the patch while the glue dries. I wondered about that awful yellow varnish just as you mentioned that it was a strong industrial varnish. Would that be like spar varnish? You took something that looked unfixable and put it completely to rights. A job well done. I was watching you use your equipment and drooling over the machines that you have in your shop. I do furniture flipping, and I have the basics, but nothing like you have. Someday. Your videos are teaching tools for people newish to woodworking. I so much appreciate your attention to detail. Thanks for another great video.
