Beautiful restoration. My great-grand parents brought their possessions from Ireland in trunks just like that one. The adults were allowed a full size trunk each and each child got a half-sized trunk. They brought a total of nine steamer trunks.

I wouldn't call this a restoration, I would call it a reconstruction. Impressive work.

A dear friend had a chest at the foot of his guest room where I often stayed. Now he is gone,he always had a mildew scent he did not know how to remove but he lives again in this video for some reason. How he would have loved to see this restored piece. Thank you. It is wonderfully engrossing to see it come alive again. Stay well my friend who.

I subscribe to your channel because you do a lot of (in my opinion) extreme and multi skill restorations and makeovers. The concert and peek into your life is definitely an appreciated bonus 🙂

Absolutely incredible restoration of this beautiful steamer trunk. I used to have 3. Two round top and one flat top. They were 100 yrs old and in like new condition except they needed new locks. Brings back fond memories. ~Kevin

The addition of the paper was spot on. The design emulated the pattern of the original lining of the chest, but on a somewhat larger scale. Quite a statement piece, and one can see that styling being used today.

That was pretty brutal dismantling of the trunk, but the finished effect was very good!

Wonderful craftmanship. Embellishments are everything on those steamer trunks. My only criticism is the wallpaper on the outside and whatever you used for the lining. That should've been fabric. The right choices there would've elevated it to a super luxe piece.

I wasn't sure there for awhile you were going to be able to save the wood. Excellent job.

wow, you really gave that old trunk some beautiful new life. Steamer trunks have amazing stories and are such beautiful pieces of furniture/storage. I love your work and I am glad KZfaq slapped you on my recommendations!

I have a very similar trunk but twice as big, used for traveling on a boat, on sea; so well done. The craftmanship of these is incredible, so many details and so solid. I have a blue one and a brown one.

Wow what an amazing transformation 👍 watching you fill all those old nail holes I imagine would have taken some time. I liked all the finishing touches. Concert sounded great also. Well done my friend 👏👏👏👏

It's absolutely amazing that it's possible do renovate it so well and reuse so much of the original material.

He is not singing for his supper, instead a painted table. Thank you. I thought I wasn't going to like that trunk but it turned out beautiful.

Absolutely brilliant restoration 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 But sorry not a fan of the blue wallpaper on the outside…maybe a more muted paper, similar to the original colors on the ends of the outside & back?

Not you to lie at first I was like this guy just ruined that but wow what an out come well done looks amazing

Magnifique, la mallette et le chanteur. Merci de nous introduire à vôtre culture.

Vay vay vay. Amcam çok ii sölemiş. Emeğine sağlık usta. Türk olduğunu bilmeden takibe başladım. Bana büyük sürpriz oldu.

I have one in similar condition that has the original tooled leather wrap under the metal straps it is totally shrunk and brittle. Can’t decide whether to replace the leather or just refinish the wood and repaint the metal straps

This project is cool. I was not sure how it would turn out, but you NAILED it! 😃

This was a joy to watch! A Master craftsman at work, bringing new life to a well loved, well worn treasure.

Thank you for sharing both your hard work and the music of my culture....shat shnorhakalut’yun.

Какое удовольствие смотреть, как работает мастер

I LOVE what you did to this trunk!! You put such effort into the tiny details! Oh, and the music was a GREAT touch, thank you!❤

As you realise it's not restoration to Original I have to say you have done a excellent job awesome McCormack and Son,s Restorations Qld Australia 🇦🇺

I love the sawdust and glue combo. So have been keeping small amounts of the different coloured saw dust, in jars, so I never run out.. ha ha ha

I would love to know what products/mixtures you used. The metal work is amazing. A shame some of the original features couldn't be salvaged but time marches on. Great job.

Great work but shame about the wallpaper.

How sweet you are to each other and a good trade. And as usual, you are a stickler for details

No puedo creer como a Quedado me a gustado muchísimo Gracias por dar a conocer tu MARAVILLOSO TRABAJO

That was a labor intensive restoration, bravo !👍

This is the best trunk restoration on the internet!! Wish there were more to see!

Looks very nice. I always bore out the internal bore, they are always a problem. Good call

Hey RM That is a lot of nails..I bet your forearms were sore... haha Definitely a very strong chest. Your friend's song was nice. Take care my Friend

Amazing job,! Excellent detail. The concert was a nice touch.!

Сундук просто шикарный! Выглядит как новый, такой красивый! Мне очень нравится ваша работа, у вас золотые руки! Музыкант тоже был шикарен и прекрасен! Песня его чудесна и волшебна! Спасибо 🙏 вам наиогромнейшее, за ваши интересные и замечательные видео и красивую музыку! 🥰👍❤️

My God what a beautiful piece of work ,well done sir

Pues, sin ánimo de ofender, me gustaba más antes☹️. El tiempo embellece los objetos.❤

В России сундуки были в ходу . По деревням у кого ещё остались такие . А вот новые уже не делают совсем .

The trunk looks amazing, and tell Isa thankyou for the lovely concert

Bizde adı çeyiz sandığı diye geçiyor. Çocukluğumda evde rahmetli anneanneden, 1900!lü yılların başından kalma yerel yapım bu sandığın başka bir modelinden vardı. Merak eder hep içine bakardım. Benim için hep hazine sandığı gibiydi ama içinde eski kumaşlardan başka bir şey yoktu :)). Ara sıra içinde saklandığım da olurdu. Toplumda antika zihniyeti olmadığından bu tür şeyler yayıntıdan başka bir şey değildi. Antikanın ileride değerli olacağı, manevi değeri hakkında kimsenin fikri yoktu. Ailesi Mısır'dan göç eden arkadaşım anlatmıştı, Yavuz Sultan Selim Mısır seferinde kullandığı üzerinde kendi turası olan seccadesi ve turası olan hamam tasını o dönem orada yaşayan ailesine hediye etmiş. Aile soyu galiba 19. yüzyılın sonlarında yaşadığımız şehre göç ediyor. Aile büyüğü anneannesi yaşlanıyor. 1970'li yıllarda atalarından miras kalan hediyeleri hurdacıya satarken yakalamış ve engel olmuş ama bir hafta sonra hurdacıya satmış. Niye yaptın diye sorduğunda, evde yayıntı yapıyor , eski püskü şeyleri evde ne yapayım demiş!!!! Kolay gelsin....

this is beautiful. i have my grandfather's trunk from about 1943 which my aunt restored. your video is very similar to what i hold dear in my den. thank you for your excellent video.

Seu trabalho com certeza, vale mais que mil pregos. Nota 1000.

Fabulous makeover.

Precioso trabajo Ismail, una vida nueva para ese mueble, gracias, y feliz primavera ❤❤❤❤

An interesting restoration with a bonus concert? I hope you get your subscribers 😊

Excellent marksmanship

Great Stuff. Enjoyed the oud music.

Impresionante. ¡Buen trabajo!

Magnifique ! C'est là que l'on comprend comment ces malles pouvaient résister à presque tout.

I really liked your work so much, congratulations! But as for the wallpaper, I think it could have been different, keeping the old ferry trunk style. Still, it was really cool!

Nicely done. Ready for another 100 years.

I have a trunk like this. It was my Grandmother's she came to America from Hungary, now I know what to do with it. Thank You

Un buen y bonito trabajo 👌👍🇪🇸🌿

Hello from France Nice restoration. Used this trunk for an air trip, it's sure to have to pay a supplement for the excess weight of your luggage lol🤣🤣🤣

the blue and white paper you used is the exact same pattern as the rug in my livingroom lol

Très bon travail ! Cependant, pourquoi ne pas avoir restauré la moulureAu bas du meuble?

Great job. I have an old metal trunk. You have inspired me to restore it.

LOVED the concert! The trunk is very nice now!

Sometimes when restoring stuff, one have to channel their inner Ogre to get the job done. :)

You had me at handtools and a measured amount of elbow grease!

Especially loved the music at the end. Thank you.

Me gusto la restauracion que hiciste si pusiste mucho esfuerzo y trabajo en repintar y quitar el óxido de los clavos

Emeğine ve eline sağlık... Ayrıca udiye ve sesine de teşekkürler...

holly batman robin!!!!!! what a restoration/ redo!!!! im glad its for you !!! thats at least close to a months worth of work on its own from start to finish !!!!!! ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!!!!!! dont know if i would have the patiences.. but glad u did !!!!

Beautiful music, and beautiful work. Always great work from you.

I love the restoration of the trunk!

Beautiful restoration Resto good job well done

Estou sem palavras Magnifico 👏👏👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷😁

I’m impressed. I thought the poor thing was only good for kindling.

Красиво. 👍 Мастеру браво 👏

Wow the restoration was beautiful and perfect, congratulations. I like the song thanks for posting! 💜 💜 💜

Bu sayfayı Türkler nasıl keşfedememiş hayret doğrusu. Çalışmalarınız şahane, başarılarınızın devamını dilerim!

Belle réalisation ! Bravo… 🇫🇷

You did a great job, but you should have put hessian underneath the metal strips and not wall paper. The wall paper would have been great on the inside. I saw another box just like this one restored and it had leather strips on it as well pity about that. It does not look finished.

It looks like it was made from old tea chest's or something with some of the writing on the inside . Useful for storing things in

I would have been tempted to put two coats of shellac on all surfaces

Una pregunta, de qué material son las bandas originales que sumergirte en vinagre?

As always, the restoration work is perfect, my sincere congratulations. One final question: I am Lebanese and I immediately recognized the lute whose sound is beautiful and in Isa's hands it sounds wonderful, but I cannot distinguish the language in which he sings. Is it feasible that it be in Turkish language? Congratulations to Isa for his voice. Thank you very much in advance for answering. Greetings.

Wonderful music, i love Oud 🎵🎵Your work is artistic, the transformation is very beautiful👍

LOOKS GREAT, NICE WORK...

Super jest to odrestałrowane ten stary kufer pozdrawiam serdecznie 👍👍👍👍

Beautiful work

Me encanta ver tu trabajo y también tu música. Gracias❤

GREAT WORK AND GREAT RESULTS!!!

Сундучок можно сказать воскрес заново :) Удивляет сочетание отделки жестью и металлической сеткой и оклейка бумажными обоями - это так не прочно и не практично.

Lovely job.

One of my favourite restorations well done 😁👍

Awesome repair!

This was wonderful to watch! Subscribed.

Ooo I love the metal strips….my sister had a similar chest my dad made her called a hope chest😊

Been a subscriber for a while, I think when I subbed you had like just under 3k subs? It was a while ago.

Brilliant…hats off 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Fantastic work

Awesome job

Very beautiful project

I hope you get to your target, mate. 😊😊😊

You just mutilated an old chest... Hello from Russia...

Amazing work.!!

So much work, but well worth it....excellent ❤
