Junk to Jewel | Trashed Antique Display Cabinet Restoration

Grab a seat and a cup of coffee or tea - this is my longest video yet on the channel but it is worth watching every minute of it.
120 year old handsaw restoration - • Repairing a 120 Year O...
Moldy, rotted caned rocker restoration - • Another Junkyard Gem |...
This week I present the repair and restoration of an antique display cabinet that I found on the side of the road while walking home from the gym. It is approximately 100 years old and was constructed by a local furniture maker which is of course no longer in business. It was falling apart, chipped, broken, and missing glass panes but overall in fair shape. It had five layers of paint, at least one of them being lead paint, and old, crusty varnish.
This project required removal of the lead paint, filling 10,000 nail holes, repairing chipped wooden legs, wood working, sanding, staining and finishing, and assembly.
Special bonus: all of our animals make cameo appearances including our cat and granddog who is visiting from out of town!

You must be reading my mind. It's been raining here for the last few days and will be for the next few days and that makes it hard to work on these projects since I like working outside. I do have a full shop but it is poorly lit and not good for videos (and full of projects in the queue) so I don't like filming in there. I was just talking today about what I can do to make my shop better for filming these videos. Thanks for the very kind feedback. I am happy that you enjoyed watching this project. 🌻

Labour of Love ❤‍🩹 Incredible work, I'm sure the original maker would be very proud!

That would be incredible. I need to research the company some more to see when happened to it. It is from a local furniture maker back in the early to mid 1900s.

[@xandraxandra1437]

You can tell a lot about a craftsman by his/her way of taking a restoration object apart. So many people aren't careful because "it's old stuff and already broken". A real craftsman takes his/her time and is very careful because every part is important. You took your time, and I appreciate it so much! A fantastic restoration of beautiful furniture, a great video. If I can have a wish, I would like to see more in real time. Everything doesn't need to go in express speed. :)

[@Restorology]

Thank you for the very kind words. Showing steps in real time would be nice and I would like to do more of it.

[@tracyjohnson2992]

My Mum had one of those they were beautifully made pieces. My goodness what a lot of work. Everything taken apart, then reassembled, the scrapping and the sanding and the holes, my goodness what a lot of holes in that wood. It came out stunning well done it is back to being around for another hundred years. My Grand dad swore by the hand planers and the hundred year old saws. He even had a old iron bench clamp with the steel rod to tighten the screw. He made a few pieces of furniture in his time including a very dark wood almost black dressing table for my mum and then it was handed down to me then to my sisters before it got infested with wood worm and then dad took it to the back of the yard and we had a bonfire. I am glad you restored it too many pieces of furniture end up on a burn pile these days there is ways to bring things back to life or reinvent them into something else. I am also glad you saved the original makers marks on the back that was an especially nice touch. A grand job sir!

Thank you!!

Absolutely stunning! I watch a lot of restorers of miscellaneous items but this is by far one of the best videos I've ever watched. The meticulous labor of love that you put into this discarded street side item was just incredible. You sir are a true artist and Craftsman. I quite enjoyed watching this video, with your animals, and a sense of humor all rolled into one, and I look forward to the next.. Thanks so much for sharing. 😊

STUNNING! 💛I really like how you stripped it down to the bare bones and got rid of the lead paint. And paid attention to detail.

[@Restorology]

Thank you! Details matter. ✌🏽

It's so great to see you taking something that normally would end up in a landfill and restoring it to its former glory! You can't buy new furniture made this well today without paying a fortune. Thank you for sharing this process. The end result is absolutely amazing! I'm 66 and I remember my dad doing similar projects and he was meticulous and exacting in his work....so nice to see people today who take complete pride on their craft 👍👍

[@Restorology]

Thank you for the kind and thoughtful message. ✌🏽

Geen fancy tools, alleen maar fantastisch vakmanschap. Ik sta in bewondering !!!

[@Restorology]

Hartelijk dank voor uw vriendelijke woorden. Ik ben blij dat je van dit project hebt genoten.

You do such beautiful work and there's so much amazing attention to detail. Watching you work reminds me so much of my dad, he loved working with his hands and especially working with wood. The last thing he restored was a 1940's chest of drawers that I keep in my bedroom. I miss going out to his workshop and seeing him working on some project and the smell of saw dust that always hung in the air. Keep up the great work!! You're a true artist!

[@Restorology]

Thank you for the very kind words. Your dad sounds like someone I could have been friends with. Thanks for sharing. ✌🏽

Thank you! It has darkened even more since I posted the video. Looks fabulous.

Es ist die reine Freude, Ihnen zuzuschauen. Soviel Wissen, soviel Ehrgeiz bis ins letzte Detail. Fantastisch ;-) Grüße aus Frankfurt (Oder), Germany

[@Restorology]

Hallo nach Frankfurt und vielen Dank für die sehr netten Worte!

[@DarleenAbrams]

Very satisfying to watch, amazing you didn’t use paint stripper and did a lot of hand sanding. Truly a work of art, new subscriber and first timer.

[@Restorology]

Thank you so very much and welcome to the channel. So glad you are here!! 🌻

It's astounding how well that turned out. I'm sure it looks better than it did when it was new.

[@Restorology]

I hope so. It turned out much better than I thought it would. Thanks!
