- I am restoring an old Biedermeier chest of drawers from 1847. There were many individual parts that had to be glued back together. Veneer had to be reglued and replaced. A key was not available and a blank was refitted. As a finishing touch, the old layer of lacquer was removed and replaced with a shellac polish (French polish).

Das Video heute war wieder ein Highlight. Erst der Einstieg mit dem Schloss und dann die ausführliche Demonstration der Schellackpolitur haben mir besonders gefallen. Die Politur ist zwar aufwendig und dauert, aber sie wertet die Kommode enorm auf. Diesen Arbeitsgang vermisst man bei den meisten Restaurierungsvideos. Danke wiedermal.
Danke. Sehr gerne. 😊
That looks fantastic! Great transformation!
I don’t think I have ever seen a drawer that opened using the key as the pull. So interesting, but not designed for having anything heavy in the drawers. Beautiful restoration, as always.
Eine sehr gute Restauration mit Mitteln wie Leim und Lacke wie sie benutzt wurden, als die Komode hergestellt wurde. Mit sehr viel Freude und Hingabe wird gearbeitet und die alten Meister von Früher wären Stolz auf Sie 👍👍👍
😀 Vielen Dank
I absolutely loved how you restored this piece. You taught me new ways of doing a restoration.. thank you so much
😀
It was magical watching this transformation! You put so much love and detail in every piece! This looks incredible and beautiful! Gorgeous job! 😊❤

So beautiful. Looks like it was when new. Very talented.

I finally saw close up of your polishing set.
You got the head right!👍
But sleeve garters would really complete the look! 😸
Reboring the lock is genius. Great job
Such a great restoration 👏👏

So beautiful! Well done!

Looks wonderful, nicely done, excellent work as always from you.
Thank you very much 😀
I love what you did to this Biedermeier-Commode! I'm also intrigued by the type of Glue you use. it looks like Honey ; ) and so interesting to watch the 'fini au tampon'! First time I witness this. Such a beautiful Shine!
😀
Amazing restoration!
😀
Bitte die Erklärungen etwas länger eingeblendet lassen, so ist mir das zu kurz und ich muss ständig das Video stoppen. Danke
Un trabajo muy bueno!!
Excelente!!!
Gracias una vez más. Estoy feliz si te gusta. 😀
That is a nice piece. You did a great job sir.
😀
This was a fantastic rescue of a piece of history! I seen all the original hand planing on the underside of the drawers. A lot of work went into the creation of this piece.

Thanks. 😀
Great Job as Always! Love your editing Style! I like the way use mostly hand tools to work. Very authentic for your pieces. I think your second in placement on the Challenge for me. Ahti used Gold Leaf on his chair ( The Show-Off!).
Thanks. But I didn't take part in the challenge. I wanted. But I didn't have the time to restore another chair. 😔
WOW 🤩 looks so beautiful 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Schloß 7nd Schlüssel total verhunzt! Jammerschaden. Der Gang zu einem guten Schlosser oder wenigstens der Kauf eines passenden Replikat-Schlüssels hatten sich gelohnt!
Dann schicke mir mal eine Adresse wo ich solche PASSENDEN Replikat-Schlüssl bekomme.
@@chrigunrestauration in Hamburg gibt es einen Händler, der Replikat-Schlüssel für alle Arten von Möbelrestaurierungen verkauft. Auch Holz-Ersatzteile gibt es dort. Ich habe dort auch schon gekauft. Ich werde die Adresse raussuchen. Außerdem hättest Du den Schlüssel umschmieden können, anstatt das schöne alte Schloß zu zerstören!
@@chrigunrestauration und in Bayern gibt es den Versandhandel Hans-Peter Hummel Kunstbeschläge, Steinbacher Straße 30, 87764 Legau. Herr Hummel hätte Dir einen passenden Schlüssel anfertigen können.
Danke@@claudianagel7402
Incredible!
😀
Nice, so much work@

Lindo trabalho!!

With all those miss-matched patches, I would have pained the piece.
Absolutely stunning! Ken from Alabama USA

The chest is beautiful. Thanks for sharing

Beautiful

One word…Gorgeous

Insgesamt eine recht schöne Arbeit. Gefällt mir gut.
Was mich etwas irritiert sind die Schlüsselschilder. Bei 4:57 sieht man, dass das ursprünglich wohl mal anders war. Die Schilder mit den Löwenköpfen dürften mal ergänzt worden sein. Typisch für Biedermeier waren ja die flachen eingelassenen Schlüsselschilder aus Bein oder Ebenholz. Bei 4:57 ist das kleinere alte Schlüsselschild zu erkennen, wirkt aber eher wie aufgemalt als wie eingelassenes Holz.
Das ist sonderbar. Das wäre vermutlich viel Arbeit, wenn Sie die alten Schlüsselschilder wieder herstellen wollten. Aber schöner wäre es schon. mfG
Hallo. Du hast es richtig gesehen. Die dunklen Schilder waren leider nicht echt. Die waren nur aufgemalt. Es waren auch niemals andere dran. Grüße
Do you have to put glue or filler in the holes when you reinsertthe original nails into the original holes?🤔😺
Amazing
😀
Ещё один сохраненный предмет старины...браво
😀
Hervorragende Arbeit, wie immer.
Interessanter Hammer ab min. 28. Kannst Du den vielleicht mal genauer zeigen?
Danke. Das ist ein Polsterhammer. Du siehst in auch in dem Video wo ich den Biedermeier Stuhl restauriere. Grüße
Dá muito trabalho, mas vale cada minuto e dinheiro gasto. Parabéns pelo resultado!!! Um abraço do Brasil, cidade de São Paulo
😀😀👋
Wow your pieces are all amazing do you keep them in your own home? If you do your home must be perfect!!
Hello. A few are kept. I give most of them away to friends and family.
Shellac sticks look like sealing "wax" sticks for seal on old documents. 📜😸
I think it is!
No. They would be made of wax. The ones I use are made of shellac
Absolument magnifique 😮 même si on aime pas les vieux meubles ont peut pas rester insensible a se magnifique travail de grande patience en plus du professionnalisme, mais alors c'est un travail de longue haleine juste a regardé ont est épuisé 😥 🥴 sincères félicitations, juste avant de venir sur vous j'ai regardé un collègue qui restaurer une très vieille chaise à la feuille d'or vraiment magnifique aussi et lui aussi rien qu'à le regarder ça m'a épuisé psychologiquement a trop retenir ma respiration, bref je crois que je vais aller me reposer maintenant mais c'est très agréable de voir des gens qui savent encore travailler avec leur main ,vraiment 🖐️ j'arrête a très vite 😀.

😀😀😀 Thank you
CARO RESTAURADOR TEMOS UMA CÔMODA E UM GUARDA ROUPAS DE 1972. QUERIA MUITO MUITO RESTAURA- LOS, MAS NÃO TEMOS FERRAMENTAS. NÃO DESFIZ DOS MESMO,POIS DESEJO TRANSFORMA- LOS EM UM APARADOR,E UMA CRISTALEIRA. PARABÉNS 👏👏👏 SUCESSO 🎉🎉🎉 SEMPRE 🎇🎇🎇.ESSE MÓVEL VAI FICAR UM SHOW.
Sinto muito por isso. Talvez você possa pegar emprestadas as ferramentas? Obrigado. 😀
I know you do your best, but you butchered that lock mechanism.. and the veneer patch wasn’t your best work..
Can you do better?
@cathybenson5119 yes.. I could..
I agree about with Tim
@@cathybenson5119I hate when people ask that that’s being an enabler for sucky work
Very unkind, Tim.
I guess I don't understand paint, stain, and coating. 🤔😺
(When using removal products)
I guess sanding down to the base is refurbishing, not restoring.
Wow!!
😀
It's absolutely gorgeous😊
😀
Yo uso aceite de lino para evitar q la madera agarre humedad. Y después le aplico barniz dependiendo el color de ésta o del barniz
😀
05:22 there used to be no locks originally. then for some reason they made key holes and installed locks. and destroyed the original knobs, destroyed the images on them.
I don't know what they saw but the key locks are original.
@@chrigunrestaurationif they were original, the pattern wouldn't have been ruined by the holes. There's a pattern with something like some round thingy (sun maby?) in the middle. They made holes and ruined the pattern.
🤷♀️I don't care what you believe
Hey Chrigun!
First of all thank you for the Video. Your desire to Save this Kind of furniture instead of just painting it is very important to Save These beauties. Additionaly using the polishing with Shellac is an ode to the masters. Dont take it personal,but there was two times where i almost Had a Heart attack. You sanded the freshly stripped drawers at a low grit just to use the scrape/plane on it. It removes so much of the Patina and of the natural differences. Second, of you dont have matching veneer, get it, ask other restorers, im sure people you know got. you covered.
Because on Long Term Most patches Fall out of Place When it comes to matching the Rest.overall i love your Videos, but These two things hurt regarding Taking off so much of the thickness with every restoration.
Best regards
Hello. Thanks for the comment. I try as much as it. it is possible for me to receive. Others can definitely do it better. I learn with every piece I work on and try to improve. Thanks
Schönes Video.
Die Kommode sieht klasse aus! 👍
So wie das aussieht, darfst du dir demnächst ein kleiner Furnierlager einrichten. 🤔🤭😂
Wegen dem Schlüssel, habt Ihr bei euch einen Schlüsseldienst Laden? Ich meine jetzt nicht Mister Mint oder wie die heißen, ich meine die Dienste. Die einen Laden haben und alles bezüglich Schlösser und Schlüssel anbieten, das man sich da evtl. mal einen Rohling besorgt? 🤔
Bei der Schublade, wo Du Furnier ersetzt hast, da ist mir was aufgefallen. Das dort kleine Nägel drin sind. Gut jeder arbeitet anders, ich hätte die entfernt. 😁
Die Kommode sah aus, als wenn vorher da schon jemand dran war. Oberkante der Schublade und andere Seite unten waren 2 Furnierstücke, wo noch Luft war. Dein Trapez passt besser. 😄
Danke. 😀
Hi this is such a beautiful piece! Can i please ask whats the brown liquid you mixed with wood dust to make wood filler? Thanks!
Thanks. That was hide glue.
Very beautiful ❤
😀
Gorgeous
😀
Sehr schöne Oberflächenbehandlung! Die Misshandlung des Schlosses fand ich leider weniger überzeugend.
Danke fürs Feedback! Das stimmt. Das Schloss war nicht meine Glanzleistung. Ich werde es beim nächsten mal anders machen.
Maravilhoso❤
😀
I still marvel at veneer in previous centuries!
It must have been time consuming and expensive to make it and sell and use it then, without industrial manufacturing.
A rich, niche, luxury item, as opposed to now, a cheap cover over plywood or MDF!
😼
😀👍
Yes! I covered myeyes in case of spiders when you took offthe lock! 😹
😀
Ist das noch konsiddert Biedermeier?
So toll!
Ich weiß nicht was du mit , konsiddert, meinst aber es ist ein Biedermeier. Grüße
@@chrigunrestauration Oh, blödes Mich! Nach 25 Jahren in den US hab Ich mehr oder weniger meine Muttersprache verloren.
Also: ist das noch in der Biedermeier Periode ( Alter)
Oder in englisch: is this piece still considered as Classic Biedermeier?
@ande100 😀 kein Problem. Ja. Es ist eine Spätbiedermeier Kommode. Die Biedermeierzeit ging von 1815-1848.
@@chrigunrestauration Toll, danke. Ich hatte meine Zeit bis ca.1839, keine Ahnung warum. Im Hintergedanken war immer Krönung von Königin Victoria und dann "Victorian era". Hat natürlich nicht mit demaligen Möbelstielen in Deutschland zu tun, aber ein gedanklicher Stolperstein für mich. Grüße und 'nen schönen Sonntag wünsch Ich Dir und der Familie und Freunden.
sieht echt toll aus. Was ist das in dem Eimer, die grüne Paste?
Danke. Das ist der Abbeizer BA-Uni von Meyer. Der einzig mir bekannte der Biologisch abbaubar ist, nicht gesundheitsgefährdend und dementsprechend keine Warnhinweise hat. Man sollte ihn aber für eine perfekte Wirkung länger einziehen lassen. Die besten Ergebnisse hatte ich wenn ich ihn über Nacht einwirken lasse. Grüße
Wonderful restoration! Thank you for your videos. I would suggest that, in the future, you might crowd source matching veneer. Here in the US, I frequently see furniture on the curb, usually beyond the owner's ability to restore. Many times, lovely veneers go wasted. I would hunt around on furniture pickup day to salvage veneer scraps for you for free! Of course, you may have time constraints that make this idea impractical. I also have a question. I see you and other restorers strip furniture, **then** make repairs with glue, epoxy, filler, etc. That seems counter-intuitive: you get those repair chemicals on the bare wood, which can impair the stain & finish process. So for instance, a bit of resin glue can soak into the wood and cause a spot that never takes stain. Looking to understand the method. Thanks in advance.
Hello.
This is a good suggestion but unfortunately not always feasible. Some veneers are no longer available. Others are difficult to obtain. There aren't many companies that sell veneer. You always have to check whether you get the right one or the one that is closest to it. The next problem is that the veneer is usually only available in large quantities. Usually there are 20-30 sheets. They have to be paid. Often the right veneer is not included. It's always a trade-off. I reuse old veneers for other projects and always check to see if I can get remaining stock somewhere. But even that is no guarantee that the right veneer is included.
For stripping.
I don't like doing it very much. I only do it when I have no other option to remove the old surface. These are usually synthetic paints that unfortunately cannot be removed any other way. In order for new surfaces to hold properly, all traces of the paint stripper must be removed. This means the parts must be washed thoroughly. It takes a lot of work to remove the remains. That's why I don't like doing it. But then it is possible to redesign the surface. But the point is, no rose without thorns.
I hope I was able to answer your question.
Greetings, Chris
If you can't reasonably match veneer you should replace it.
👍
Lovely
😀
Wow impressive, the restoration was perfect, congratulations!😀💜💜💜
😀 Thanks 😀
@@chrigunrestauration 😀💜👍
Wood filler looks like boullion paste!
Now I'm hungry! 😸

And here it is from the short! 👍😸
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

You can only open the drawer by pulling on the key?
Yes, the other two too. That was clear to see.
Шедеврально 👍🏻🤩🔥
😀
I have to agree with @timhull8664
I also enjoy your videos but this one was a bit grating, IF that was a valuable antique.
It is better to source the correct key blank or make one to fit, rather than altering the lock.
The replacement veneer was wrong wood and the grain was a poor match. I’m guessing that production schedule meant that there wasn’t time to order the correct veneer.
Again and only if this was a valuable antique, then removing the surface aging can significantly devalue a piece. If you start with a hot damp cloth and just clean the surfaces, then you can make an assessment to what minimal refinishing is absolutely necessary. It is better to consult a professional antique restorer if a piece is historically significant.
That is intended as constructive criticism which is how we all learn and improve.
😀
✌️👍

Woow
😀
Normally you should use matching veneer.
Thank you for this valuable information.
Красота,но нужны ручки чтобы открыть ящики😊
