I was really concerned when you started painting with orange paint but I should have known that you know exactly what you are doing. Another beautiful outcome

Your work always amazes me! Here, in the States, an old, beaten up piece such as this, would be sanded and finished with a colored chalk paint. Your artistry in creating a faux wood finish is what sets you apart. Lovely work!

This is the most interesting restoration I've ever seen. Fascinating technique with the paintbrush and torn cardboard. A real master at work!

Ce n'est pas qu'un fabuleux travail, mais vous avez respecté l'histoire, la forme et la couleur de l'objet. C'est rare de nos jours. Bravo 👏 👏 👏

Everyone wake up AT Restoration posted 🎉🎉

Very cool. Lots of great tricks. Love your little belt sander. A lot of my viewers watch your videos.

Absolutely jaw-dropping. I still cannot believe I just watched this. 😱😱 You are no restorer my friend, you are an artist 👏👏👏👏

I've seen many of your videos before but this one just stands out from all the rest. The way you managed to fully match the original paint was incredible and you make it look so easy. We are specialists in original painted furniture so this one really stands out to me. The paint is faux Rosewood and was used on pine in Eastern Europe in the 19th century to make it look like a more expensive piece than it really was. You have inspired me to make a couple of videos here and there!

I didn't think this wardrobe looked as though it was worth saving, but after your magic touch it looks lovely. Please don't let us have to wait a month before your next video!

Wonderful work. The cardboard “tool” for the faux finish is a great idea.

Every time I watch one of these videos all I can think of is"the touch of the Master's hand"

So happy you’re safe and able to keep showing us your amazing craftsmanship. You are in a league of your own 🎨 🪵

Wonderful restoration. That cupboard was originally built very well. It was originally probably an expensive piece of furniture. It is great to see it restored in such a professional and pleasing manner.

My grandfather was a carpenter and marquetry maker. He was born in 1905. He would be happy with the guys now. Thanks for keeping the knowledge.

The completed wardrobe is beautiful. Thanks for sharing the video with us. I admire your talent.

Nothing wrong with old school ways my friend. Your beautiful work here is proof of that. : )

So beautiful and I am so happy to see you posting again. For me I would have watched the entire process from beginning to end and never been bored. This was by far too short a video. Love your work and can't wait for the next one!

This restoration is absolutely impressive! The attention to detail really brings the 19th-century wardrobe back to life. For anyone interested in vintage solid wood wardrobes, Chuck’s WoodBarn LLC offers some incredible handcrafted options that might pique your interest. Thanks for showcasing such an amazing transformation!

It’s mesmerizing how you transform these pieces. Love your work!

I like that you don't over-restore items.

And once again firewood becomes fine furniture! It's so entertaining to watch a master restore and rejuvenate classic furniture into basically works of art. Thanks again, as always, for sharing your awesome work with us. Be well, stay safe and God bless. Rev. D.

She looks so pretty now. Wow what a amazing change.

Wow! Amazing paint technic!!!👍👍👍

Excellent work! Looking at the original piece i assume it is some kind of softwood that had wood graining effect applied to it, in the same way modern furniture would make use of thin real wood veneers, or in the case of many manufacturers, printed images of real wood. That this traditional techniques has lasted so long is testimony to the quality of the original work. Your ability to match this after over 100 years is testimony to your own skill. Although you have focussed more upon the new techniques this piece provided the opportunity for displaying, you have included sufficient material on your repairs and renewal of the damaged material prior to finishing to remind us how well versed in your profession you are. Not only do you do it well, you make it look easy. As a woodworking teacher of over 25 years experience I can vouch that none of what you have shown is as easy as you make it look. I have enjoyed all your pervious videos and look forward to seeing what else you have to show us in the future. The calm music and lack of constant narration only makes your videos more watchable in my opinion. Proof it is not necessary to maintain a stream of (often) pointless babble just to remind us you are there, like the proverb about empty vessels making the most noise, which some content providers would do well to learn.

Потрясающе! У вас золотые руки!

You love the bad ones it gives you the thrill of fixing it up and making it look wonderful again. An amazing Craftsman.

That faux wood painting is something else! I love it. You are an artist. You gave the wardrobe just the right amount of update, and it looked original all over again.

So glad to see you back! I'm always amazed by your patience and artistry.

Never have seen painting/staining/stiff paperboard scraping to create a simulated woodgrain technique in combination before. Believeable result is stunning.

The pieces you find to restore & bring back to what they were meant to be....... absolutely beautiful restoration

Fab job replicating the faux wood grain finish with the trusty little scrap of cardboard. well done!

I’m immensely pleased that these pieces fall into your hands. You do them proud. Love your work.

Love the faux ebony! So neat to see someone resurrecting an old technique. As usual a lovely job!

Wow that faux wood grain technique is awesome! Love your videos because you're always showing us new techniques.

I’m so impressed with how you restored the 19th century storage unit. It turned out so lovely. The way you matched the grain was ingenious. Bravo 👏🏻 Ahti! Another great video. Stay safe. 💕🙏

I too was nervous about the orange, but it turned out amazing!! Beautiful!!❤

As a seamstress, having a spool of yarn as a doorknob sounds like a very fun detail!

I love watching you restore these pieces of furiture.

Brilliant work with the faux wood. For a moment I was worried by the bright orange base.

Замечательная работа.

Beautiful job. Your work is outstanding and the results are absolutely incredible ❤

Very interesting to see you do a faux wood painting technique. Your repairs were, as always, masterful. Thank you for taking us along on another fabulous furniture reno journey.

I am literally blown away....that was an exquisite restoration.

I would of never believed this piece of neglected furniture could of ever become beautiful again. You sir are the wood king of all kings. Very impressive. ❤️❤️❤️

Oh my!!!! You are a true artist. Amazingly beautiful.

The painting and cardboard technique was amazing

It's a true pleasure watching a master work

Simply beautiful! I love what you did with the stain and finish. It's so rich looking. An absolutely wonderful job as always. Hope you are safe. 🙂👍

The faux finish is perfection!!

Amazing how you revive old furniture. Thanks again!

amazing- who could believe a paint effect was so lovely

Fantastic! I was especially ticked by the teeny tiny green belt sander at 3:39 … I have never seen such a cute tool!

I have to tell you you are one of my favorite furniture restores that I love to watch. There is only one other.. You are amazing and truly care about how your finished project looks. Thank you so much!!!❤❤

That staining technique is fabulous. Great job!

Craftsmanship and art, truly beautiful.

Wie wunderschön es ist das du den alten Möbeln ihre wunderbare Ausstrahlung lässt. Ich finde es furchtbar wenn so schöne alte Stücke nachher nicht wieder zu erkennen sind.👏👏

Very good faux finish technique!

The wardrobe restoration was wonderful to watch. I love to see the project broken down and put back together like a puzzle. You’re fabulous!

That is Brilliant!! Love the Faux Veneer Painting. ✨

I would never have thougth that orange paint and brown on top could result in something so beautiful! This is just another confirmation that you are a true master craftsman!

I have asked you this before, but it is quite notable in this video - that little finishing plane that you use on the patches and plugs you had to insert to repair this piece must be kept razor sharp! A plane that is even slightly dull will rip and mar the wood, something i know from experience. Asidefrom being the master of refinishing and repair, you are the master of tool maintenance. Thanks again.

Your work is brilliant and so good at solving problems. A joy to watch these videos.

Oh my goodness, you are the best!! What a fascinating technique, I am so glad you showed it to us. I am slowing working on refinishing my grandparents bed stand (1920-1930's) that has painted flowers on it. Didn't want to just strip it down and loose the painting, so have been researching other options. I also need to add a bit of an extender to the footboard and I think this technique is going to be perfect for the extension. Thank you so much! I am so glad that I found your channel, I have learned so much. THANK YOU.

How's this guy not have millions of subs, he's the My Mechanics of wood.

Becareful Ahti, I learnt to never step inside a wardrobe. It ends up going over the edge of a cliff and filling up with water, all the while with The Cure playing "Close To Me". Love how you are able to blend the new with the old, making it indiscernable. Taking a 19th.C. cupboard to new condition.

A very interesting way to do faux wood grain. Excellent work, it looks great.

All I can say is “WOW”!

This is so fancy. Nice faux painting!

You are a fabulous artist wood worker. I watch you work these details and I am enthralled. I love how you recreate something old to something new but old still.

that wood color and the grain are stunning. And done to perfection in your hands love it!

Грамотная реставрация. Молодец.

You left enough imperfections that it looks authentically old yet beautiful!

ALWAY LOVE TO SEE YOUR WORK

I agree. Your work is amazing. Your eyes speak volumes of the joy and pride you have in your work.

Really missed you. Glad to see you working your magic again. You never fail to impress me. Great job. Stay well and safe.

Cool technique for the faux bois

Another beautiful piece. Glad to see your ok. 🙂👍

Ай , да МОЛОДЕЦ!!!💯💯💯

Beyond & above the beautiful restauration, I find it moving that a piece of wood furniture, well older than 125 years, will still be around for generations to come. It will cross future decades and live on after we're all dead. This is the work of a history custodian. Your work, Sir, is that much more noble. Your respectful, painstaking work is your heritage to history and future generations. Hopefully, others like you will take on the baton and continue the preservation. Well done!

love the painting technique to make the wood grain. It looks great!

I love how much you repair gaps & breaks instead of replacing whole pieces.

I said wow at least 15 times. You did a great job.

That was really wonderful to watch, I'm so pleased your work is being seen by more and more people!

Wow! You have a special gift. I really appreciate your work.

WOW!!! I am amazed by this one. Never thought to use the oil paint this way to match or even the orange under layer. You do terrific work. Thank you for sharing this. Have a great day

I love when one of your videos pop up randomly that I haven’t seen before. You are a fantastic craftsman 👍🏼🇺🇸 👍🏼

That has got to be one of the coolest painting techniques I’ve ever seen.

I have been waiting for a new video. Thanks!!

Oh my gosh! That is absolutely gorgeous!

I always like 👍 your uploads before watching them because I know I'm going to like it

Thank you for sharing that wood painting technique- the wardrobe looks awesome!

I hope you stay safe! Great restoration again.

Just amazing, as always. Thank you so much for showing your techniques, the whole project... and just for being you.

Amazing matching of the faux woodgrain! Excellent restoration

Great faux finish technique

I love your sense of humor!

The original wood was lovely. Restoring it would have been lovely, too.

Nice to see you using the faux painting techniques you vlogged about previously. Fantastic work as usual!

splendid faux finish

You are a true craftsman! Please stay safe.
