- It was simple cabinet, but the work was way too complicated. Watch how I tackled this challenge!

I love it. Thanks, by the way, for not talking talking talking the way some youtubers do. You provide plenty of information with your subtitles, and I love watching your work without the endless commentary.
I agree. The silence is golden, and enhances the experience.
Each to his own.
Your videos are a blessing from the furniture gods for those of us taken hostage by the flippin' bug at a late age!
I love it too. But the guys from Flippingdrawers and Mad City Modern are amazing too. I also love to listen to them.
This is the reason I watch you. The subtitles teach, but I get to enjoy your work and it is almost like therapy. :)
Beautiful work! No matter the mess or headache, you turn the neglected back into something amazing every time. It's a family affair now with watching your videos. Thank you for all you do in restoring the neglect and giving it purpose once again.
I agree he is a magician all the items look beautiful ❤️
It's always a joy to watch you turn run down furniture back to its glory. Fantastic restoration.
It is wonderful to watch him restore furniture too. It's original Glory or even better and this was fantastic
You are the BEST, Ahti!!! Watching you do your magic on such damaged pieces gives me great joy. You never fail to amaze me. I always expect the best, and you deliver. Every time! Thank you!!
Those worms had quite a feast on that cabinet! I love your clever ways of problem-solving and you have some awesome tools to help you. It turned out beautiful!
Okay, Ahti. I think by the comments below that: 1. You have been sorely missed. People get worried when someone isn't around - it's just human nature, I think. We all missed you. 2. You did an amazing job on this piece. You do an amazing job (that we can see) on all the jobs you post for us to see (only you know where you truly smudged something). 3. Again, human nature: you are your own harshest critic. None of your viewers would even think of criticizing your work. Take comfort that you do make a big difference in our worlds and other worlds you can't even see.🙃
You turned back the hands of time, breathing new life into that cabinet.

Don’t be so hard on yourself. To me you’re a master of a craftsman n you give each piece you do perfection. Wise choice of color stain, it’s absolutely gorgeous. You can see much of the grain of the birch wood. Yep! It’s a beauty. As you being a master of perfection it’s only the right words to say. You’re still my top dog. ♥️♥️😊👍👍👍👍🌟
Your channel is my favorite restoration channel on CZcams. I like the just watching with the gentle music and occasionally have a voice or two.
I like the things that you pick to redo.
I like that. You're an extremely super naturall perfectionist with all of your work. But don't criticize yourself too much.
Now when I saw this cabinet in the splash picture of CZcams, I immediately said oh yes, I'm watching that one mm
Because the beauty of this cabinet is amazing!! And I love the red color and I had no idea that was a burn mark. Wow.
And when you said the owner didn't like the red, I thought I love it until you got done and what you did was even more beautiful. I mean totally incredibly beautiful.
I also just love to watch your technique and how you do things because you know when you start to watch somebody refinish something you're like. Oh I could do that and I'd never say that the way I'm watching you because your years of experience create is such an amazing video.
And the video skills are good too.
The jigs you make to do things the different tools just all of it. Knowledge is King.
This came out beautifully. I love it. I wish it was in my house.❤❤❤
Of all the very many youtubers I watch, you are my favorite, never disappoint.
Truth
I like the colours you chose better than the colours it came as. Very classy. Watching you restore these neglected pieces to their former glory is a joy to behold. Keep up the good work.
You "developed this method" when you had to fix round tables.
You are brilliant, and the restoration of this piece proves it! ❤
I've missed watching you practice your art! Thank you for sharing this project with us!
Love the new colour. I think this is more Arts and Crafts than art nouveau- a beautiful era of artistic expression.
Or perhaps Art Deco. Definitely not Art Noveau.
@@josephharvat6202the doors and curved doors seem very Art Noveau. But yeah, it almost seems to have an Art Deco inspiration as well, in the legs. The new stain really suits better than the red.
Art Moderne? It was after art deco..1930s era designs.
I have been trying to search for information on this style, but there hasn't been much to go on. In Hungary the square (or at times dots) and three stripes tend to appear on buildings, doors and gates in various arrangements. I think it could perhaps be categorized as geometric secession (late art nouveau) from the 1920-30s era... I hope someone can tell us for sure!🙂
I think I have learnt more about woodworking watching you than I ever did at school! Thank you
I'm always so glad when you drop a new video! Best Saturday afternoon break I can have! It so relaxing and satisfying to watch you breathe new life into an old, beat up piece. You are truly a master of your craft!
Exemplary workmanship! The finished cabinet is stunning. Thank you for sharing the process.
You are a master at restoration, Ahti! Every single project you work on is an amazing restoration. You astound me every time I watch you do these! You are a true artist. You are definitely too hard on yourself, Ahti because everything I have seen from you is exceptional. Love, love, love your work!❤️❤️❤️
I always get so excited when you post another video! I look every Saturday even though I know you don’t post weekly. When there is nothing new, I rewatch the old. Thank you for sharing your amazing craftsmanship in a style that makes watching and learning all the more enjoyable, and learn I have. Lesson number one: don’t try to restore all my antiques myself, but hire a professional while armed with the knowledge you have provided in finding the right person. Wish I lived in Tallinn.
I never understand what you do, but am completely mesmerised watching your videos. You are my favourite magician.
You should add a label with your data from the day you restored it... so that in the future they can see your good work and the new restorer doing the same.
greetings!!
Agreed! Art conservators will often include information about the date, materials, and procedures they used so future owners or restorers know how to treat the artwork.
Much awaited, much appreciated looking forward to excellent work as always from you.
So happy to see your return to CZcams because it feels like forever! Love it!!
This is not an easy job, but, as usual, a fantastic performance. Congratulations!😊
That’s a beautiful little cabinet! I love the simple style. You did a phenomenal job as always! You gave it it’s pride back. Tell that inner critic he is hopelessly outnumbered and needs to hush. There are thousands of us who think you’re the best restorer out there!❤️🤗🐝
I love it when you go, “this is broken, get the saw!” 🤣The difference between before and after is impressive!
I feel like a broken record...But you are TRULY the Master at what you do. ABSOLUTELY STUNNING.
Спасибо! Посмотрела на одном дыхании. Ваш канал по реставрации самый лучший (для меня)! Нет понтов, нет интриг. Все четко и по делу.
I’m always happy to see a new video from you! You never disappoint.
Ahti, that's gorgeous. Once again you show you are the master and that cabinet looks awesome. Thank you.
Your biggest critic is why you do such incredibly exemplary work sir...bravo. From Australia
Gorgeous as always. I like the new stain color the owner chose. It feels like a lot of Art Noveau is in that med brown with lighter accent color palate. And the fearless cutting off of the wormed legs, knowing you could replicate the angled cuts was awesome. Never in a million years could I cut something like that correctly. 😂
I'm always so impressed with the level of your skills in restoring furniture, or anything wood! It is a real pleasure to watch and I'm always looking forward to your next project.
I hope all is well with you and everyone in Estonia these days.
I always say “Ooh! A new AT restoration video!” when you post another one. You’re my fave restorer!
I got a whole lot of respect for the amount of parts you were able to salvage and reuse. I feel like most folks, myself included, woulda just replaced the warped top and base instead of putting in the effort to make them usable again. There’s something about keeping the original materials intact that feels very respectful to the original piece and the person who made it ❤
This could not have been made more beautiful than what you have done!! Outstanding, OUTSTANDING work!!
I've said it before and I will say it again. It is a pleasure to watch a master craftsman at work, Bloody well done.
I am fascinated by your use of tools, jigs, and geometry to restore old pieces and give them integrity again. You truly are a master craftsman. Thanks for sharing!
The amount of work is large but the product looks gorgeous. Super.
19:37 I like the little bit of humor you put in your videos! The cabinet looks so much better now! Another great restoration, Ahti! 😄👍
Gorgeous result, as always!! You really have to watch out for “somebody”- he causes a lot of extra work for you!!😁❤️
Your own biggest critic? Of course all great artists and craftsmen are. But love and your pot of shellac are all you need for the magic of beauteous perfection. God Bless You. Granny from rural West of England XX
Thank you!
You have given a life to the poor ones!
It's always comfortable and healing to watch your works!
Amazing transformation! And I love the pro tips to use a jig for extra safety with the complicated cut, and an extra layer of shellac to balance the colors! Bravo and thank you for sharing your artistry! 💃🏻
Once again, you’ve hit it out of the park. It’s gorgeous. Thank you for sharing.
As always, beautiful work. I've never seen a piece like that before. Love the shape. The finish is stunning.
Always a great pleasure to see your videos of your work !
That’s just beautiful. I could watch him all day.
I love your work. Thank you for showing!!!
I love your videos, no words, minimal music, pure raw talent!
Another triumph. You are the refinishing and repair BOSS.
This guy can bring back to pristine conditions furniture that most people would only consider it as firewood material. Excellent video as usual.
I don't know how you do it. But once again another master piece. I am convinced I could come to your shop with a cardboard box full of sticks and when it left your shop it would be a museum piece!
It came out beautifully, ready to be a showpiece for the next hundred years. A craftsman is always his own worst critic; what anyone else sees is the beauty you added.
Gotta love a man with all kinds of clamps AND also who knows how to edit videos. Spectacular restoration. Beautiful! 💜💜💜
The custom jigs are impressive and the point you made about avoiding danger is so important. Anyone can turn on a saw- not everyone is smart enough to use one.
I am so glad you popped up in my feed, I am binge watching all your videos!! Love them!!! Thanks for all the hard work making them!!
Beautiful restoration, Arti. Perfection in every way. I know your client will be over the Moon 👏👏
A Master at work. You do such amazing work on pieces of furniture. This cabinet is beautiful. Have a wonderful day
Thank you. Watching you restore and renew something that was so badly damaged is very healing. You have done more good than you realize.
I 100% agree with changing that red colour. You have made a fine restoration job. Congratulations.
Thank you so much for bringing us along so we can watch your excellent skills!
WOW!!! A skillful & beautiful restoration! Love your format, and way that you explain! No words, but, completely understood!!
I miss your videos so much. Thank you for sharing another one of your great videos. I really hope you are well. As usual your work is great. Go well
What a beautiful restoration! Your work is very respectful of the original, but you have ensured that this cabinet will last another 100 years. I hope that your own home is filled with similarly lovely restored furniture.
You've raised the bar, sir!
Ahti restores, I click. My life is simple. Beautiful work!
I hear the intro music and stop, make a cup of coffee and settle in for some awesome and skillful restoration. Learned a lot!
I’m a writer and I recognize your biggest critic because mine’s called Me, as well. 🤪 You did a superb job!!
I thoroughly enjoy living life vicariously through these videos. I have done some restoration few years back but am not in a place to be able to do that now. Your videos are supremely satisfying. Thank you.
The music is a great pick😊it builds up the finished master piece😊👍
I never find anything to be critical about with your work. You are a true craftsman! The things you know how to do to fix broken or worm rotted wood amaze me.
Yet another wonderful repair job. Personally I think I liked the color contrast between the blond doors and the original red stain, but I’m not the customer. Again I learn so much watching your videos. Thanks.
But the way that it came out it was even more beautiful because you could see all that gorgeous wood grain.
Outstanding! You are the best restorer on CZcams
Ufa!!!!!! What an agonizing wait!!!!! It was worth every second.
Omg what an absolutely beautiful piece if furniture and restoration.
I love the design, colour, woodgrain and stain.
Fabulous!
Congratulations on another classy restoration. As always, perfection. Thank you for sharing. 😘💕🇦🇺
Hi Ahti!
Thanks for a great video, you always turn the most hopeless looking items and restore them to their previous glory and sometimes even better!
Take care and be safe, happy and healthy! 🙏 👍
You are an amazing artisan! Taking ugly, overdone pieces and breathing new life back into them! Just wonderful! Soooo much work but truly worth the effort! Well Done! 😊❤️
So lovely! A comment for the algorithm and a Thank You for the Craftsman!
California here. You did it! Looks simply fabulous - well, well done.
Such a joy to watch you change an ugly piece of furniture into an exquisitely beautiful one.
Love the grain of this one. Beautiful work on this piece. Great video❤❤❤
love birch!
I did not see this coming, because it did not look that bad. Boy, was I wrong. Beautiful work.
Absolutely gorgeous! Fabulous job! 👏👏👏😊❤
I am ridiculously jealous of your new table saw. That sled is 👌
You a most certainly and master craftsman and an artist, being able to restore these pieces back into incredible works of art. Cheers!
Fabulous. I love this Mackintosh/Hoffmann-inspired furniture and your restoration does it proud.
I loved woodworking because of this channel
You've made a lovely job of that. Such an elegant little cabinet. I enjoy your videos very much indeed.
Its the first day with proper summer weather since the middle of May where I live, and I still went inside to watch this video, just because I know this will be an epic restoration!
Edit: I was not disappointed! Beautiful cover up on the burn mark, that was amazing!
It makes me so happy to see a new video upload from you. I really enjoy watching your process of restoring furniture!
Phantastic work, stunning result as usual! So, so beautiful!
Twoje renowacje są super!
Uwielbiam oglądać Twoje prace- masz "złote ręce"!
So glad you make these videos
This is NOT art nouveau but art DECO ! And indeed - gorgeous.
Wow! That looks gorgeous!! We are all our own worst critics! I still have a hard time not pointing out my mistakes after finishing a project! 😅. Love your work!!❤😊
У Вас настоящий мебельный цех! Очень интересно видеть новые приспособления, станки.
Again, an impressive and wonderful restoration work! My favorite moment in the videos is when you say: "so I decided to make new ones". What an incredible video! Bravo!!!👏👏👏🌷
Thanks Monica! It is always pleasure to read your comments.
Ahti, you are a master craftsman! This was a fantastic transformation!!! Well done as always! It's such a thrill watching you perform your magic!
