[@nancynewlin]

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!

[@KarenL-qt7dy]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@susansaadati6998]

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

[@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!

[@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. 😂

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!!😁❤️😍

[@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 👏👏👏👏🇬🇧

[@saxandrew100]

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

[@MrVince8]

My favorite restoration guy.

[@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!

[@michaelamaestas4950]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!! that is just wonderful, great job !!!

[@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!

[@jackyoshaughnessy2415]

Fantastic!!!

[@RomantiCynic]

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

[@isabelleblanchet3694]

The sand bag trick is great!

[@tnxstaff]

MASTERPIECE!

[@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

[@raywood8187]

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

[@sirmiyu]

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

[@kathykarkut9526]

Excellent work! You have great followers that await your next project! When I found your new video after being posted 25 min before, there were x245 likes. By the time the video ended x23 min later, there were x735 likes and x3, 349 views! You are a Master Restorer! Thanks for your inspirational videos from Canada!

[@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.

[@PINTandDALE]

Wow - this started out looking like bonfire material! Very impressed at the excellent quality of work, even for a modest piece!

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@TD-zl6dx]

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

[@karencox3235]

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

[@marcusott2973]

Much awaited, much appreciated looking forward to excellent work as always from you.

[@aetherograph]

I love that you will restore something that is so simple. We call that design 'mid-century modest' in houses. I think people forget about a lot of the simpler, quieter designs, but this is unmistakeably of its time just as much as any boomerang-shaped coffee table!

[@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! 💗

[@petervandermolen4089]

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

[@sharonlaster2767]

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

[@ElaineWood-f2t]

You, sir, are a truly skilled and gifted craftsman!!

[@user-ft2md2gd4s]

Love the 80s intro music and how it fades to mute when the work begins and comes back at the end.

[@natallysergeeva5912]

Вы космос!!!!!

[@Vickie-Bligh]

Magnificent as usual. Thanks, Ahti, for sharing this with us, your skills, expertise, and abilities. This was fun.

[@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.

[@craigbaxter4842]

At the start of the video I thought why bother😱 But the end showed me why, what a fantastic transformation.👌

[@anthonym.pacelli1960]

Your techniques for clamping the curved surfaces are great, the sand bag and thin plywood are things I never would have thought of.

[@barbaracatalano6299]

Fantastic save! Beautiful art!

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.

This piece of furniture has a very "Art Deco" look... Art Deco interpreted in the 50's...Lovely work !!!

[@gayle525]

It came out extremely beautiful. Nice work.

[@abigailhamiltonactor]

A "simple" restoration----simply filmed and almost entirely self explanatory, and yet I learned so much! Thank you!

[@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.

I think you are so talented in the restorations you perform. Your techniques are unquestionable, not to mention how much I enjoy you being funny in these videos. Please don't stop making videos for us because we enjoy them so much. Most of your videos are watch in my home 3 times or more. We can't get enough of them. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@carmencampbell6994]

When I see a new video from you pop up on my feed, I get so very excited! There is so much beauty and talent in your restorations. And then, I'm reminded that I don't own enough clamps for my own smaller scale projects. LOL

[@briandeschene8424]

For someone who has never done this type of work before, you achieved amazing success! Joking of course. The level of skill, expertise, and experience you display at every step during each phase is astounding! Well done!

[@crisholmurb007]

Great job as always! When I need something restored I will bring it over the Baltic Sea to you 🙂
