Quirky Art Deco wardrobe restoration

[@Garden366]

One can always tell a master in his craft when he can perform 100% of all tasks required to complete a job. Very well done!!

[@shockz16]

Seriously, are you a vampire that has lived for centuries? Because how the hell have you acquired all this knowledge on different techniques and methods. I feel like you show us something new in every video lol. I've said it before and I'll say it once more I hope you have an apprentice that all these teachings will go to so they can carry on your work for future generations.. or maybe I was right the first time and you really are a vampire haha. 🧛‍♂️

[@daaagggg2017]

Ha,ha. Very good 😂😂😂

[@RissaFirecat]

Rotflmfao! Good one!

[@cyan1616]

I think that after NAFTA was enacted and the Internet took off people just lost the skills. Nothing is "made in America" anymore and housing is so expensive that only the wealthy can afford homes. A furniture restorer would live in poverty. No kid wants to be creative anymore when they can work on Wall Street and get rich quick. Public schools even eliminated art classes 😮

[@toriam15]

I am always impressed with your skill to replace missing carvings. Great job!

[@amybucher5439]

I haven’t seen that technique of 50% acetone & 50% mineral spirits to soften the lawyer before. That was cool! You did excellent work as always!

[@ВикторГалянин]

Слов нет, прекрасная реставрация. Уважение мастеру, и лайк однозначно.

[@bolinfan1519]

Beautiful set. Saving Estonian history, art, and culture, one piece at a time.

[@Vickie-Bligh]

Yesterday I was thinking that it had been a while, and today here you are! What a lovely wardrobe and gorgeous restoration, Ahti. Thanks for sharing this with us all as well as sharing your awesome talents.

[@caroltanzi29]

A wonderful job. The replacement carving you did was perfect. Also, I loved how you handled the interior finish too. Carol from California

This is nothing less than surgery! Almost sorcery! Amazing what you do!❤❤❤❤

[@susanackerman217]

Very beautiful! ❤

[@sharonlaster2767]

A whole bedroom suite, done beautifully! Thank you for letting us share.

[@lauradoxtater1301]

If Leida was still with us I bet she would give you a big hug & kiss for the amazing restoration on her wardrobe 👍🏻 Stunning job as always ⭐️

[@Lisa_Helmel]

Вспомнила ещё как в моем детстве одноклассники ходили на школьный кружок по резьбе по дереву. И тоже вырезали целые доски с разными узорами, это было так красиво!!!

[@ralphgraler4223]

Sir... I'm surprised... you did a real great job!!! This wardrobe is a truely understatement....from a little distance... okay... but getting closer it's... surprise, surprise... absolutly stunning! And you brought it back in time... Thank you therefore and thanks for sharing!!! 🎩👍👍🇩🇪

[@PeterRabbit000]

Amazing, masterful techniques!

[@yakubpatel1403]

Restored beautifully. Great look after restoration.

[@onefortexas2379]

Beautiful restoration of an old schrank.

[@dorislindeque887]

I have watched a number of your videos, and I am so impressed with the way you handle each article - gently, gently each piece is dismantled - no brute force is used and very, very little is destroyed or discarded, fantastic work - would like to see more of your upholstery work - thanks once again for your most informative videos

[@briangoldberg4439]

the best furniture channel on youtube by far. thanks so much for your amazing content!

[@ldiane5462]

Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful!!!

[@ireneabbott]

Such a beautiful piece!!!

[@cduff4505]

Leida would be so happy to know that her wardrobe was brought back to life with such care and love. ❤️Stunning work!

[@SiddiGorsky-xc7ub]

That’s exactly what I was thinking! Great job, Ahti

[@richardbonner2354]

I was thinking the same, C Duff and Siddi Gorsky. Since the Estonian Lady Leida has a different perspective lately -- and likely won't comment on Her wardrobe's "resurrection" and restoration -- I hope there're some Companions of Leida's Who remember it both from the 30s and after It, as All of Us tend to do, got a lil' bit wrinkled and dented and unstable at the joints while aging. The wardrobe is "aLive and well" again! And sill carrying It's historic delivery and train shipping markings. Surely, Those that knew It would be even more impressed than We are at the results of "the Master's hand". And thank You AT for the recipe of 50% acetone and 50% spirits -- under an absorbent pad and plastic -- to remove old finishes; "the Master's" Mind is even more impressive than His hands! 🙂 Rick Bonner Pennsyltucky

[@lovingmayberry307]

Beautiful! 👍 I love the matching set!

Такая конструкция дверей не редкость для той эпохи. Подобный гардероб был в доме моего дедушки, только имел слегка закруглённые наружные грани дверец. И собирался точно такими же стальными стяжками. Сделан он был в России, вероятно в начале тридцатых. Отличная работа. Как всегда.

[@lyndamorgan5221]

Love watching you bringing items back to life.

[@rachelwalsh1388]

With great patience, he performed a miracle!

[@LadyLeigh]

This is the second time I have watched this as I love your attention to detail and your carving of the little frieze. You certainly are a master craftsman. Can’t wait for more content! 🤗🇦🇺

[@petervandermolen9835]

Loved the carving!

[@hykimos]

You have given a new and beautiful life to the old one!

[@131dyana]

Wow now that Lady has a back yard and a back patio. Way to go you two. God bless.

[@adriennejames9120]

It's a great day when there's a new video from AT Restoration!! Wonderful job, as always! I learn so much watching this channel!

[@PeanutsDadForever]

Another piece saved! Great work!🇦🇺👴🏻

[@terryiggulden5182]

I love the inside of the doors, very Art Deco. Beautiful work.

[@darilynkrupp6309]

It becomes whole and glows once again, bravo. So good to share with friends another way to do a task.

[@bethcrane5780]

Wow, just gorgeous! Simple design so suited for that wood, really brings out its warmth and character. Thanks for bringing us along.

[@Ladybug-uf7uh]

Thank You, first of all, for the video. I learned something interesting here: 50/50 acetone and spirit will lift shellac better than commercial stripper! As a novice furniture restorer, in my other life, I could've used the information you impart in your video's. I appreciate you expertise and ability to see what a project can be. Wonderful wardrobe outcome.

[@ATRestoration]

There was another layer of something that was very hard on the shellac, that is why we used acetone.

[@cesarguilhen8627]

Olá amigo! Demorou para postar um novo vídeo, eu já estava ansioso. Seu trabalho é excelente e me inspira muito, sempre aprendo com seus vídeos. Obrigado!

[@derrickcordick1315]

Out standing job I could watch you carve wood all day it is so satisfying to watch again well done

[@sarahdebeau2481]

I am amazed by the paint stripping.

[@donmcallister3745]

Very nice job as usual… so cool that you researched the owner… too… not just a piece of furniture… a bit of history too…👌 Thanks 🙏 🌜🌞🌛

[@hickorygolddoc]

Great restoration! Such a simple piece yet beautiful in its simplicity! The carving you recreated completed it! They REALLY do complete this beautiful piece. And wow such a great look on the inside as well! If this piece could talk I have no bought it would be extremely thankful! One of my top favorites of your restorations!

[@Restorology]

Clocking the screws on the keyhole pieces is a nice touch. Well done.

[@ruthfedrau5546]

So happy to see you and your skills at work again! Thank you.

[@WizzardofOdds]

Another masterful restoration.

[@nataliabartz2735]

Дорого мило... Великолепная работа, как всегда.

[@TukikoTroy]

Simple yet elegant design beautifully given new life. I had a similar wardrobe in my bedroom as a small child. At night, a shimmering silver ball would appear from under the wardrobe and hover above the foot of my bed for several seconds before returning to whatever dimension it came from. It wasn't scary at all, rather comforting in fact. My parents never believed me ofc.

[@mlaiuppa]

The shelving system is very interesting. Glad you used shellac and French Polish.

[@phyllisholt4847]

Your expertise is so astounding. It's beautiful to watch you in action.

[@patientorlando1306]

Hi Ahti! Thank you for taking the time to film this unique restoration...looks like you've had a fair bit of work on your hands with the whole set too...absolutely gorgeous - preserving our antiques for future generations❤ I have a question though about the 50/50 turps & spirit mix you pained over the stained surface - what was the purpose or benefit of this 'wash'? Is it to fill the grain or prep the surface for french polish? I've never seen this step before so I am curious to know why and when one would use it. Thank you for such great content!

[@ATRestoration]

It is mostly for filling the wood, so it will take less shellac. Old method.

[@ChipTheBun]

WOW. It is a real pleasure to watch you work.

[@tinareeder6491]

Beautiful! You do such nice work.

[@irenebecker4815]

Awesome! Another beautiful restoration!

Brilliant job, your friend really did show an alternative to paint stripper. Would like to see more carving being done you seem to be very good at it.

Nice Art Deco'esque detaling on the front panels of the doors, with the angled lines of the veneer

[@MarianaRibeiro-yx8op]

Os móveis de antigamente tem uma coisa que falta nos de hoje "classe e elegância" parabéns pelo ótimo trabalho.

[@tinabenavidez1903]

[@originaltwyla4991]

The handles are like jewelry! ❤

[@167curly]

I really like how you replicated that missing carvings, and damaged feet of the wardrobe. Beautiful restoration of the wardrobe from the days before clothes closets.

[@dannraff]

Fantastic workmanship as usual nothing short as full magic thanks for sharing.

[@fleurjardin1012]

What a beautiful restoration! You gave the piece the care and quality restoration it deserved. Love it!

[@shellydehart8217]

What a beauty. Can you imagine the stories this wardrobe could tell n what it has seen. It’s a absolutely beautiful bedroom set n it can go on living another 100 years. I could sit all day n watch you do your magic. I have a big regret in my life that I didn’t learn how to repair n refinish antique furniture from a pro like you 🥰. But I’m still learning watching you. ♥️♥️😊👍👍👍🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@ATRestoration]

Maybe in the next life then ;)

[@pieterbosman6111]

An elegant piece reminding us of a time when value was placed on aesthetics as well as practicality.
