How to Restore an old table. Restoration.

[@mzajmyers]

Amazing. The craftsmanship is stellar. Yellow? Not a great finale.

[@nancyanneberg403]

Pennsylvania USA says thank you. You made my day purposeful. If one can fix this table, slowly one can transform many things. Perhaps one's life.

[@justintarvid]

Wasn't sure where the color was going with the paint or stain cause it looked so yellow but that's a mighty fine table sir.

[@maggiesue4825]

Your sanding "lathe" is ingenious!! Beautiful piece!

[@WDRestoration]

Thanks for watching.

[@markduncan6690]

Now Here is “A Gem in the Rough” Restored back to where it should be! Well Done Sir!

[@WDRestoration]

Thanks for watching.

[@SerenityNow22]

The only thing I prefer about the original table is the stain colour. The new yellow stain broke my heart a little bit 😢 Your skill is amazing, great job!

[@WDRestoration]

Thanks for watching.

[@KeyboardBuster]

Heart of glass

[@theelizabethan1]

​​​​​@@WDRestorationThis color is a relieving break from the way-too-often used, shoe-polish blackish brown, staining. Thanks for diverging from the well-traveled path and giving us this refreshing look!

[@jillberry2802]

Was of the same mind to begin with. But then I thought colour is often governed by ethnic taste and he is in the Ukraine and if he is onselling, he knows his market. It actually grew on me the more I looked at it. Nicely done job.

[@geoffreyboyling615]

I, too, thought that the colour was a bit strange when I first saw it; but It will probably mellow with age and as it is polished.

[@davidmccartney3433]

Georgious work. I was a bit hesitant about the choice of stain at first, but then the final reveal showed how beautiful it was.

[@WDRestoration]

Thanks for watching.

[@heinrichstoltz1356]

Fantastic work. The joinery in the drawers were impressive. 👌🏻👌🏻 I’ve seen that color in a baby diaper…… You added many, many decades of life to it. 👌🏻👌🏻

[@WDRestoration]

Thanks for watching.

[@галинабуржинская-щ7е]

Цвет конечно на любителя, но реставрация великолепна, замечательный мастер!

[@xombies]

In my own opinion, a more brown stain would have looked much better than the yellow stain, but that's personal preference. Otherwise, great job!

[@artrihs]

Good job, but that paint.... it reminds me of soviet era paint. it was everywhere

[@davidmeltzer507]

Very nicely done hats off to you. As a Wood Turner myself, I am very impressed with your lathe work and your lathe itself.

[@imochiexe5056]

Beautiful renovation. Beautiful guitar rendition of Oh Holy Night.🎉😊

[@WDRestoration]

Thanks for watching.

[@kimderrick7796]

It is a beautiful cover of "Oh Holy Night" but it flashes with the wonderful sounds from the work you are doing.

[@leoniecummin1572]

A pleasure to watch your craftsmanship and the only channel to keep your information on screen long enough to be able to read with ease. Thank you

[@cintiajones4628]

Wow, you are a fantastic carpenter and watching this vídeo made me travel back in time to my childhood and reminded me of my late grandpa and my uncle building and restoring things in their workshop. That's when my love for wood and furniture restoration started. This yellow table certainly fits very well in an entrance hall, or in a nice farm house kitchen! Great piece of wood design!

[@veritevraie4433]

Lots of expansive tools will prevent many from for doing such things themselves but very pleasant to see and gorgeous result. Thank you.

[@WDRestoration]

Thanks for watching.

[@PeggyEvans-d7r]

Absolutely beautiful work. I wish that table was mine😊 PS: I appreciate your not talking all the way through the video. I’ll be back to watch more videos 👍🏻

[@anneashley5110]

I have to smile. Admittedly this table top is bowed. But the family kitchen table I ate off at my gt.grandmothers home was worn totally smooth but had so many hollows in it. There was no rot but she put a large folded undercloth on covered by a general cloth when not eating. A white starched damask for proper meals. Everything taken off after mealtimes and bowls, flour, utensils and heavy jars when cooking. It held everything from apples, plums pears from Orchard or huge roasts for family after war. Goodness knows what this man would have done with it. I don't remember anything being straight in her home, but it was a few hundred years old.

[@stabletableandcrafts]

What a beautiful job! Amazed at the attention to detail, and the work you put into this table. It must’ve taken many many days. The final color is close to the table. I have in my kitchen right now. Love it. Thank you for sharing.

[@robertgriffith9703]

This episode should have been called 'WD Restoration; Extreme Nail Removal' I haven't seen anybody restore a handmade piece that didn't have a lot of nails. Very nicely done!

[@WDRestoration]

Thanks for watching )).

[@GrahameCTConway]

The world needs more people like you.

[@lourencoandradeesousa4782]

Great to see excelent workmanship. Very entertaining also. Yet I woud much prefer the table wilth it's old patina. Just a light refurbishment needed. It looks new now. Why not build a new one instead?

[@lindachapman9137]

If I hadn’t seen it, I surely wouldn’t believe it! Great job! Great skills too.

[@chipdayton1625]

I wouldn't have chosen those colors, but the workmanship is excellent!

[@WDRestoration]

Thanks for watching.

[@codacreator6162]

This isn’t a restoration so much as an improvement. Nice job!

[@TAD050486]

The drawer corner joints are great, and the way you fixed the front bow with the relief cut and epoxy 👍👍👍

[@antonoat]

Great job, ready for at least the next fifty years! Enjoyable music too!

[@marcelapeniche6724]

I am very grateful for your very instructive and detailed video, I would love to learn about furniture restoration. And your video is an excellent and timely start.

[@helenascheele5922]

Wonderful job! I really admire you. About the color, in the Nordic countries and Russia grows mainly pine and birch. so that this our tradition. As you know, this kind of wood turn yellow oranges-ish with age, so that is what we see during our life and learn to love (even if I personally also love walnut,elm and many more). And if you think of Scandinavia, do you think of heavy dark furniture? If you go to IKEA, do you expect mahogany? No, you get painted, birch and pine. Well, as you know, we also made some cool teak furniture in the mid century too What I really want to say, don’t always look down and complain on pine or beach, please.

[@kaorihirasawa3753]

Excellent work and no nails… my feeling is that final color could be more natural wood! Looking forward to the next one! From Japan

[@donnahedgepeth5430]

All the colors on this planet, and beyond...you chose ocre. I love it.🎉

[@ruthadler7176]

Beautiful job and this table will give another 100 years of service.

[@marsthesecondgenesis1291]

Here's a tip for you...when using polyurethane glue it dries faster in the presence of moisture. What to do is wet one side of the joint with a damp cloth and glue the other side. It bonds very quick. I loved your restoration.

[@WDRestoration]

Thanks for viewing and advice.

[@blainerueckwald]

Another tip, when pulling nails from a moulding, do it from the back, that way you don’t blow out the front.

[@jeruzaalvesdesousamatosjer7689]

😊obrigada

[@МарияНовожилова-у1у]

😅

[@juneliberato849]

Boa noite,Adoro qdo veja a restauração de móveis antigos,eles contam histórias dos nossos antepassados.

[@jorgecastro1894]

Great job, perfect functioning of drawers, nice new color, congratulations!!!

[@aaronmurciano4738]

I really liked your technique with applying wood glue and then sanding right after. Its perfect for getting the wood dust to fill in the gaps and to remove the excess. Quick and effective

[@loninappleton]

Yes the wet sanding is a great tip rather than the usual how-to of mixing sawdust and glue

[@juliemarkham4332]

Wow! You weren't playing. You took that ALL the way down. LOVELY transformation. (I hope you wear ear plugs with all that loud power equipment. I almost reached for mine! 😂)

[@theholytoast-lisa-2904]

You rebuilt the drawers and had a chance to make them a little bigger/longer. I'm a little sad you didn't. Storage is priceless.

[@helenascheele5922]

But that would be destroying the character of the table. Better keep the existing ones.

[@janusakaicare]

Merci pour la vidéo et vos astuces pour réparer les fissures et la décision à prendre pour la redresser. La table à retrouver une seconde vie grâce à votre savoir faire. 👍

[@justjulee9135]

A wonderful restoration! Thank you for the video!

[@crazycarl9484]

Really enjoyed watching this video, great restoration, thanks for sharing.

[@WDRestoration]

Thanks for watching.

[@lindamartin4306]

Great really thrilled watching… hate color but by the end I loved it. Color was new and fresh not grandma’s table any more.

[@AmadareAL]

Great work! Thank You for demonstration all the techniques. And by the way, the colour is great as well - warm and sunny.

[@WDRestoration]

Thanks for watching.

[@justingray3456]

Beautiful work. A pair of Trickers country boots in acorn color would go perfectly with the restored table.

[@Jerzidi9]

I wish you were local I have a 150 yr old hutch I would like restored. Your work is exceptional. ❤

[@wildferreira]

So gorgeous - nice work, the story of this table will continue. ❤

[@MaudeneFelty-Gunderson-wm6zf]

Well I'm impressed with your work beautiful carpentry

[@christianlibertarian5488]

It came out very well, and is probably better than new. Which raises a philosophical question. Even at its best, this was a cheap table originally. Mostly pine, machine made legs, nailed together with little in the way of joinery. You could have duplicated the table with all new everything faster and cheaper, likely with the same results. Unless it was in some way emotionally significant, I don't know that I would have undertaken a restoration.

[@markuswx1322]

Agree, this is 20th century production work and probably not worth the effort invested. I admire the demonstrated techniques however. I also think I would have tried to maintain a bit more of the patina if the table was a much-loved old family retainer.

[@dahtalmichaels7548]

Great restoration, great video... that colour though!

[@kryptkeeper457]

Yeah… baby poop brown. Not a good color…

[@house9850]

you have a very fast and efficient way of doing things, I like your "economy of motion", shows a lot of experience and strategy.

[@lynnedelacy2841]

Wow this wasn’t a ‘found this by the road side a bit of sanding and paint’ this is truly a roots and branch deconstruction/ reconstruction- impressive

[@glenangelos6025]

Wow, was that relaxing or what!!!!!!!! Did I need the comma or was it good as one sentence,I always use commas in the wrong place! GREAT JOB!!!!

[@ignatiusjk]

WOW!!!!!Lots of detail in that piece. Wish I had that kind of patience..

[@ASAADMOHAMMEDABDELNABIALI]

What a genius man and artist you are, may God bless you

[@debragoldsby6841]

Just Beautiful.. I have a desk to redo from the 1800s. Can't wait to do it.

[@djnottttt]

Wowowow. I also wasn't sure about the color, until you showed the finished product. But I would have never known that shade till now.

[@dshey6802]

The yellow stain reminds me of folk art. That color is commonly used in folk art. And then you darkened it? The grandmother will love it.

[@cathybenson5119]

I seem to be finding a lot of channels from Ukraine lately. Lol. Nice job with the restoration, mate. New sub.😊😊😊 stay safe, mate. I wish you n your fellow countrymen all the very best.

[@daveclemens4141]

You have Incredible Patience and the Skills to match.

Beautiful restoration including the choice of color which imho goes perfect with this old table.

Beautiful table. "O Holy Night" playing in background.

[@axtell1966]

This video has just about a solution for every problem. Thanks!

[@michaeltreadwell777]

You did a fantastic job, but I hate the colour. Never watched you before, but I'm hooked now. Thank for sharing your skills. Take care 🙂

[@WDRestoration]

Thanks for watching.

[@RestoreMoreMCM]

Lovely work. Your knowledge certainly moved you to choose rightly about what needed replaced and what was salvageable. I hope the recipient appreciated your talent.

[@robertocarcangiu3863]

I love this video! I have to do the same work on a very old table! Thanks so much!!!

[@JackieTurner-uo1jr]

I really enjoyed watching this, great job.

[@jbart5260]

Great job! I especially liked the technique of growing a third arm and hand to do the leg lathing! 🤣Beautiful work too!

Thanks for watching.

[@kevinkelley3906]

You are a magician with a table saw. That's the one thing I don't have.

[@novamcclung5382]

I really like the finished look and you're craftsmanship 🎉

[@ДмитрийЛавринайтис-л5ч]

Судя по надписи на ящике стола, а именно по букве «Д», эта мебель принадлежала русским. Спасибо за профессиональную и красивую работу!

[@СветланаЕрёменко-я3ю]

Я тоже так подумала.

[@tonyreed6426]

Great job and the color was a great choice also

[@wgoconnor33]

Beautiful restoration!! I love the color!! Also enjoyed your background music.

[@randybourdon2791]

I was apprehensive about your colour choice in the beginning but seeing the final result, it turned out great. Well done!

[@Abo.Ali3]

Great job, I wish you success

[@7777veles7777]

Очень круто получилось, с цветом бы я поспорил, но кто я ,а кто вы, поэтому как всегда, Браво!!!

[@lmartin3601]

Absolutely marvelous workmanship. The best of the best.

[@yvonnehopkins8985]

I like the colour. Amazing transformation.

[@ckneelakantaraj7829]

Great skill and craftsmanship. Immensely liked the process including the colour. Fan from India.

[@DebraGilliatt-nu9cq]

Love the background music. So relaxing 😊

[@McCluskeyRestorations]

You are unbelievable at what you do. There has never been a video where I haven't been in awe of your skills. This was a fantastic transformation. Thank you for sharing.

[@lynnedelacy2841]

I loved that interesting looking drawer base - a pity that couldn’t be re used

[@AdnanMMalik]

❤ the drawers are redone amazingly..... i have been trying to restore an old teak table for such a long time .... this is very resouceful.....

[@mokimmy6457]

It’s the first video of yours that I have watched and am so blown away by the craftsmanship and your amazing shop and tools! The table turned out amazing!

[@WDRestoration]

Thanks for watching.

[@cinderella1295]

Wonderful work, very relaxing to watch your process to the end result ! Thy !

Wow, que paciencia!!! yo,con lo guevón que soy, la hubiera tirado y hubiera comprado otra. Great job body. Admire your patience.

I've never used mustard as a finish. Very interesting.

[@WDRestoration]

Thanks for watching.

[@traceyspad01]

Interesting stain color. Haven't seen that before. Nice job. Didn't know you had multiple accounts on YT. ❤

[@markofsaltburn]

As a showcase for your remarkable skills, this video is really enjoyable. The finished product is a little over-restored for me, but that’s just a matter of taste. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@marynimocks6791]

What a transformation! Beautiful!

[@falfield]

Beautiful work - a really slick gluing technique that I admired very much - congratulations. Though I wasn't looking out for this, I noticed 4 different glues in use, and particularly liked the epoxy gap-filling after straightening the side-piece. Bravo! I also noticed that, even though the table had some nice decorative and structural touches not found in today's minimalist world, it was nevertheless - with a thin top and nails everywhere including through the top - a very humble and modest one. I think your skills and workshop tools deserve a higher quality item to work on.

[@texgowing7359]

What a cracking transformation you made of that exquisite table. I loved the way you tackled those warps. My personal choice of couler would have been different but that's just me. You big guy are very skilled, both in mind & with your eyes & hands.👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@texgowing7359]

Of course that should have read colour🙄🙄woops.

[@maximeprimeau670]

Lovely work...would have loved to see more work done without a domino though...I get their usefulness and speed of execution, but so many youtubers use them without showing other techniques...

[@attitudeprince3563]

Sir I love Your Wonderful Techniques😍❤👍👍👍Beautiful Work😍❤

[@James-In-Exile]

This was fascinating to watch and such a great job. I hated the 'lemon turd' colour stain at the end, but I assume that was something the client requested.

[@Kirstalyn272]

You did an amazing restoration! I see some that try, but nothing to this level! Beautiful!!

[@davethompson3252]

Great job. Looks like it came straight out of Pottery Barn. You’d never know it had any age or history.
