100 Year Old Buffet Kept Falling Apart | Furniture Restoration

- This furniture restoration was my most frustrating to date.
Broken drawers, drawer slides, drawer stops, cabinet floors, dents and scratches, and my fight with a bent and cross threaded screw.
I purchased the antique buffet off Facebook market place. The owner told me it was 100 years, and it certainly looked like it had 100 years worth of wear and tear. I removed all the old stain and varnish and took care of the minor dents and scratches (some damage was too much to fix).

Beautiful! It’s so refreshing to see one of these restoration videos that is actually restoring the piece and not just repairing and painting it!
You are using the wrong screwdriver tip on the cross threaded drawer pull. It is too small.
Sir, no offence here but make sure that the editing text is correctly done cuz you were saying that youd scrap the drawers and that means literaly that they would be thrown away,so if the edittor goes at work for you ore you do it make sure the basic english is done correct, just saying to aid you sir.Theres not alot of peeps willing to say this to help you better.For the rest your work is greatly done and the repairs and restoring is greatly done.
It’s a reproduction, probably made 70s 80s
So beautiful. A real craftsman restoring a piece rather than painting it. So refreshing to see.
Based on my experience, I would say this is a late 30s early 40s piece so I’m not quite sure it’s Antique yet Furniture needs to be 150 years old before it’s classified as an antique just saying
dove tails on the drawers are modern, the rounded tenons are the giveaway and trademark of machine mass production techniques- post 1950's for those parts anyway.
Hop on over to Flipping Drawers or Mayfield Restorations. These guys are top notch and the community is growing. They just finished the Absolute trash challenge. There were half a dozen or more participants.
on a second note, your video missed out on some important details: we didn't see how you applied the finish; was it only tung oil? also, the drawer partition should be finished as well as the back cover. don't cut corners.
Absolutely gorgeous! You make everything look so easy, but I know it wasn't. I love the hardware you chose too!
Such gorgeous wood! I’m glad you left it natural color👍🏽. I also appreciate the no talking, no music.♥️♥️
Wow! That was so satisfying seeing the final result!
I LOVE your film editing.
Excellent craftsmanship
Really nice result
Subscribed as soon as you threw the hand gesture! That's exactly what I would have done!
Foreshadowing. Good One. You Made Me Laugh! Nicely Restored. You Made It Less Antique and More Modern, so It can Look Good in Any Home!
Awesome ! I'm currently working on one just like it so this is very helpful!
I'm always tempted to try my hand at these extreme repairs, but I'm realistic enough to know I haven't got the skills. Kudos and congrats!
WOW!................Outstanding.
