Здравствуйте уважаемый коллега, спасибо вам за очень интересные видео по реставрации мебели. Увидел у вас тут на видео интересный инструмент. Платформу на Ленточной шлифовальной машине.

I saw an interesting tool on your video. The platform is mounted on a belt grinder. Can you tell me if this is a homemade device or a factory one? If the device is of industrial production, please tell me what is its name? -------------- Thank you for your attention, SINCERELY, Mikhail is a master furniture restorer from Russia. P.s.

No channel with "flipping" in its name is getting a view from me. Sorry.

[@WoodworkingTop535]

thanks for sharing

[@acdallas6356]

I'm from the 40-50s era and have lots of small problems. Can you make me superb again?

[@cotton-Dave]

acdallas-- Me too, and I love the comment!

That would be something … If only.

What do you need? A quick rub down! Lol😂

[@Vickie-Bligh]

In the hands of an expert like you, you made that little cabinet live again. Thanks, Ahti, for sharing this with us all. It's gorgeous.

[@hemarabadia5890]

I’ve always wondered how to make your own shellac based polish, I’ve only ever used pre-made. Thank you for sharing.

[@Ladybug-uf7uh]

When you see someone make the new pulls for the cabinet, you know you are seeing true restoration. He didn't run down to the nearest hardware store to find something that looked "good enough". The grain of the wood is beautiful to see. Thank You, again. From North Carolina, USA

[@deeskinner9014]

Oh wow, it's like having a master class in furniture restoration in every video. Really loved seeing all the steps into creating/working with shellac. And of course, a really beautiful final product. (^.^) Thank you so much for posting!

[@virginiaoflaherty2983]

I too learn new techniques every time. I love the order and precision of your work.

[@Quaker521]

It may 'only' be a simple piece of furniture but after your work on it Ahti, you've turned it into a stunning piece. Thanks for the video.

[@ReconstructingEmily]

The food container to get the bubbles out of the epoxy mold - genius! Loved watching the wood grain come back to life.

[@katielin2379]

That humble little cabinet is stunning. Thank you for rescuing it.

[@MagicalGirl2801]

I really like your videos, not only the final result, but also the little tips that you give us commoners.

[@patstrailertopics5975]

Another triumph. You handle the wood so gently and respectfully. A lot of restorers would not take the time to hand rub that shellac. You are like the Zen master of furniture.

[@jennymartinez4597]

I agree, never seen anyone better!

[@lindahill7315]

That wood grain is to die for. Turns out stunning

[@karlogumminase781]

I've watched all the videos of the MCM challenge now, all of them are very good, but if there has to be a 1. place it has to be you. Your devotion to your work, to a peace of old furniture, your accuracy of work, is the reason I watch and love your videos.

[@Restomaniac]

A small bite from the master that lingers on the palate 👏👏👏 It is a great pleasure to participate in the MCM challenge with you.

[@ATRestoration]

Thanks mate!

[@christinebrady6842]

HOLY MOLY! Shellac comes from a bug? LOL. I never, ever heard of this before. Amazing.

[@dorishodge4451]

My thoughts exactly! My second thought was, "Is he pulling our legs?" Never have I heard that shellac comes from bugs. And who and when did someone figure out you could use it to put a finish on wood?

[@christinebrady6842]

@@dorishodge4451I googled it to be sure.

[@VeretenoVids]

@odge4451 Humans are an inventive lot, aren't we? We have evidence that shellac has been used for 3000 years, but it likely goes back even further. My guess is that they observed the female lac bugs secreting their secret sauce on the trees they like to live in and saw the changes in the wood and it went from there. Now that you've found out about this bug, go google cochineal. 😃

[@ralphiewigs2208]

It's a secretion of the female Lac Beetle from India and Thailand. Shellac is dissolved in alcohol and is extremely versatile in wood finishing. It's also used in food and pharmaceuticals.

[@clairewright8153]

@@ralphiewigs2208 I worked in a pharmaceutical laboratory in the 80s and shellac as well as beeswax was used to coat tablets. The tablets would be coated in a machine very much like a cement mixer and they would come out very shiny. I was never sure which was more harmful the medication or the coating.

[@fkirby3]

I really like that you bring back the beauty of the piece and wood instead of covering it all up with paint!!! I love watching your expertise, and hope that you are being safe while using the "nasty" chemicals!!

[@debsmith2269]

It's such a cute little caninet. It looks better than new. I enjoy watching other "Refinishers," but it's very refreshing to watch a craftsman who makes his own shellac and period knobs.

[@madelynmanos2131]

You are an superb restorer! I am so impressed by all the furniture I have seen you transform from sad to beautiful. I love watching you work. Thank you for sharing.

[@kayerin5749]

Well done! That shellac process, from taking off the old to putting on the new is classic and really shows your years of experience. I also enjoyed the "re-creation" of the Bakelite pieces, which looked like you were using a form of epoxy? Fascinating 🙂

[@bsyishay]

It is a beautiful cabinet, and you gave it a second life.

[@jennymartinez4597]

AT Restoration, Frankly I hope you won this challenge! You deserve it. I have never seen some of these techniques for removing finishes & for creating a new Stunning more to the period of MCM Restoration of a Beautiful cabinet. I was enthralled & astounded wondering what you would do next. The creation of the new but astonishingly like true period Knobs and the little accent of the thin black line to accentuate the routered top edge , are very clever. Those Knobs! A faithful recreation that will hold up for many years to come . This piece is Lovely now & could be used & treasured for many different purposes in a home or business for many years to come. Glad you saved it from the landfill! Great job. I’m a new sub, you’ve hooked me. Again I hope you won! Blessing’s from Dozer, Butter Bean & me in Garden Ridge Texas 🇺🇸

[@caroltanzi29]

Gorgeous, just simply gorgeous! The wood refinishing, with that touch of black is stunning. And the knobs you created are perfect. WOW! Carol from California

[@lulunz6809]

That came out beautifully. I love shellac and think it is a beautiful finish. You did a great job of showing how easy it is to use. I am really enjoying the collaboration and am so pleased you are part of it. Nice work!

[@christinebrady6842]

Watching that cabinet to transform was breath-taking.

[@Flippingdrawers]

Very Classy 😀 Lovely job Ahti !

[@НадеждаБуртасова-х6к]

Ахти, добрый вечерочек! Куда же вы пропали? Мало ваших чудесных видео, скучаю 😢 они для меня как детская сказочка перед сном 😍🤗 очень успокаивают нервы))

[@romainthblt]

My four-year-old daughter says this is beautiful work, and she really likes the music :) that was her first time watching this channel!

[@deborahdanhauer8525]

That’s stunning wood grain! You made that little cabinet happy again!❤️🤗🐝

[@dellajustice3953]

I love to see videos where old furniture problems are fixed instead of just a little Bondo, and lots of paint. I have learned much watching your videos. You do awesome work and can do it all..repairs, veneer repair or application of veneer, upholstery, refinishing etc…thank you for your very informative videos and you don’t even have to talk since it is usually very clear what you are doing…

[@wckedliz]

Your work is so detailed and the results are the finest. There would be no way I’d let my husband put anything on that table! Beautiful job 👍❤️

[@cherihatcher7871]

Such a small cabinet. You gave it back it's glory. ❤

[@lindasueanderson8024]

I so enjoy watching you craft era-appropriate handles and pulls for your projects. They add so much to the entire vision for your restorations as well as respecting the piece.

[@cecoya]

Great job. I like to watch you work. You teach as well as restore beautiful furniture from the past. Didn't realize that shellac was all natural either. Have a great day

[@scanmead]

Another gorgeous outcome! Honestly, I learn so much from your videos, I now keep a notebook and pen handy when I watch them.

[@worthington3637]

In the 1980s I was a partner in a shop doing exactly as your video shows, refinishing and repairing furniture. Many times, the same type of cabinets in the same state as you show. I wish we had the modern tools you use. Recently, in the garage, I came across some old fads - rubbing pads - made in the same way as yours. Stored in an airtight box and still usable if a little shellac or meths/denatured alcohol is applied.

[@louishayworth9023]

You are a master, thanks for letting us see what and how you restore these old pieces of classic furniture.

[@danielkoher1944]

15:01 Piano hinge was so well designed for a piece that was in constant use for years. A+

[@mollybrislin617]

I watched this transformation with such fascination! From the shellac to making period specific knobs and everything in between! Really incredible!

[@BlackCatsandPumpkins]

Another silent video where the tools do all the talking. My favourite. You made this cabinet gleam and shine again. Wonderful project.

[@cynrich1]

The door has a gorgeous figure, and the whole little cabinet is beautiful!

[@ServraghGiorsal]

I love true restorations, not just acoat of paint on and jack up the price. This cabinet us now a true treasure. I learned alot about repairing wormy wood !!! 😅😅

[@RissaFirecat]

Linseed oil and turpentine? Amazing Ahti! It really did turn out like 3D! You continue to amaze me with the quality of care you put into your restorations. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us! A++++!

[@Mountain-Momma]

I love how shellac brings such a high gloss to furniture. Very beautiful piece! Great work!

Yeah, shellac has very nice shine.

What a beauty ! I love these simple and beautiful furnitures, very scandinavian style. Très beau travail de restauration, bravo

I'm here for the MCM challenge. That cabinet is shiny and new again! The epoxy work to make the knobs was cool! I really appreciate the shellac recipe! I'm going to try that on my next project. I'm definitely hitting the subscribe button. Well done!!

[@kristinsewell1441]

One of the things I love about your videos is the use of techno pop that sounds like it's right out of a Cold War Soviet-CIA spy movie from the 80s.

[@josephinehogg3629]

Beautiful work, and I remember having a cupboard exactly the same as this, for my shoes back in the early '60's. I felt a little sad that you weren't able to use the original handles again because I remember how tactile they were with that indentation. brought back a lot of memories. 🤗
