  • This cabinet was originally from the Kolga manor, Estonia. It´s style - neo-baroque, suggests that it is from the end of the 19th century. It´s condition shows that it has been la long time in the kitchen with lots of smoke and fume. In this video I will restore it.

    Beautiful restauration! The cabinet is from a period called „Gründerzeit“ and was most likely the top part of a bigger buffet cabinet. Love the piece of newspaper you showed… it‘s written in old German and informed of the marriage of the potter Reinhold and Maria on the October 3rd, 1875. Thank you for sharing.

      @Nicole Stöber, is Old German in that particular print type/font difficult to read, for a native German speaker? Because it sure is to me😅. Eventhough I have no problem what so ever reading German in "normal"
      (modern) print. With this particular type setting many letters seem to resemble a ß / Eszett, to me.✌🏻

    There are some excellent restorers on CZcams, but I think this guy is the best I've seen. He retains the integrity of the pieces with his knowledge, patience, thoroughness and top skills, one of which is his superb wood carving ability. He also doesn't rely on pointless pets (as nice as pets are) hanging around to gain the gullible pet-loving viewers' empathy and 'likes'. I've just 'subscribed'.

A modern craftsman would be very challenged to keep up with an 1875 craftsman. They had all the chisels, saws, and a myriad of hand planes that performed very well.

    So it makes me really satisfied when I see one get restored to its original glory. Especially if the person doing it tries to stay true to the original piece instead of just making it into osmething else. Sometimes old wood cannot be salvaged and I really appreciate you taking the time to recreate the broken / rotted pieces as closely to the originals as you could. Amazing work. :)

    Wonderful work! I'd buy a piece like that for full price.

This is one of the most remarkable restorations I've seen, (and I'm stuck indoors nursing a broken leg, so, trust me, I've seen lots!). Thankyou from the bottom of my heart, for the love and care you put into your work!
