Здравствуйте уважаемый коллега, спасибо вам за очень интересные видео по реставрации мебели. Увидел у вас тут на видео интересный инструмент. Платформу на Ленточной шлифовальной машине. Подскажите пожалуйста это самодельное приспособление или заводское ? Если приспособление промышленного производства, подскажите пожалуйста как называется оно ? -------------- Благодарю за внимание, с уважением Михаил мастер реставратор мебели. -------------------------- Hello dear colleague, thank you for the very interesting videos on furniture restoration. I saw an interesting tool on your video. The platform is mounted on a belt grinder. Can you tell me if this is a homemade device or a factory one? If the device is of industrial production, please tell me what is its name? -------------- Thank you for your attention, SINCERELY, Mikhail is a master furniture restorer from Russia. P.s. I don't speak or write English. Thanks to Yandex for the translation.
When you see someone make the new pulls for the cabinet, you know you are seeing true restoration. He didn't run down to the nearest hardware store to find something that looked "good enough". The grain of the wood is beautiful to see. Thank You, again. From North Carolina, USA
Oh wow, it's like having a master class in furniture restoration in every video. Really loved seeing all the steps into creating/working with shellac. And of course, a really beautiful final product. (^.^) Thank you so much for posting!
Another triumph. You handle the wood so gently and respectfully. A lot of restorers would not take the time to hand rub that shellac. You are like the Zen master of furniture.
I really like that you bring back the beauty of the piece and wood instead of covering it all up with paint!!! I love watching your expertise, and hope that you are being safe while using the "nasty" chemicals!!
I've watched all the videos of the MCM challenge now, all of them are very good, but if there has to be a 1. place it has to be you. Your devotion to your work, to a peace of old furniture, your accuracy of work, is the reason I watch and love your videos.
It's such a cute little caninet. It looks better than new. I enjoy watching other "Refinishers," but it's very refreshing to watch a craftsman who makes his own shellac and period knobs.
My thoughts exactly! My second thought was, "Is he pulling our legs?" Never have I heard that shellac comes from bugs. And who and when did someone figure out you could use it to put a finish on wood?
@odge4451 Humans are an inventive lot, aren't we? We have evidence that shellac has been used for 3000 years, but it likely goes back even further. My guess is that they observed the female lac bugs secreting their secret sauce on the trees they like to live in and saw the changes in the wood and it went from there. Now that you've found out about this bug, go google cochineal. 😃
It's a secretion of the female Lac Beetle from India and Thailand. Shellac is dissolved in alcohol and is extremely versatile in wood finishing. It's also used in food and pharmaceuticals.
@@ralphiewigs2208 I worked in a pharmaceutical laboratory in the 80s and shellac as well as beeswax was used to coat tablets. The tablets would be coated in a machine very much like a cement mixer and they would come out very shiny. I was never sure which was more harmful the medication or the coating.
Well done! That shellac process, from taking off the old to putting on the new is classic and really shows your years of experience. I also enjoyed the "re-creation" of the Bakelite pieces, which looked like you were using a form of epoxy? Fascinating 🙂
Gorgeous, just simply gorgeous! The wood refinishing, with that touch of black is stunning. And the knobs you created are perfect. WOW! Carol from California
You are an superb restorer! I am so impressed by all the furniture I have seen you transform from sad to beautiful. I love watching you work. Thank you for sharing.
That came out beautifully. I love shellac and think it is a beautiful finish. You did a great job of showing how easy it is to use. I am really enjoying the collaboration and am so pleased you are part of it. Nice work!
AT Restoration, Frankly I hope you won this challenge! You deserve it. I have never seen some of these techniques for removing finishes & for creating a new Stunning more to the period of MCM Restoration of a Beautiful cabinet. I was enthralled & astounded wondering what you would do next. The creation of the new but astonishingly like true period Knobs and the little accent of the thin black line to accentuate the routered top edge , are very clever. Those Knobs! A faithful recreation that will hold up for many years to come . This piece is Lovely now & could be used & treasured for many different purposes in a home or business for many years to come. Glad you saved it from the landfill! Great job. I’m a new sub, you’ve hooked me. Again I hope you won! Blessing’s from Dozer, Butter Bean & me in Garden Ridge Texas 🇺🇸
I so enjoy watching you craft era-appropriate handles and pulls for your projects. They add so much to the entire vision for your restorations as well as respecting the piece.
I love to see videos where old furniture problems are fixed instead of just a little Bondo, and lots of paint. I have learned much watching your videos. You do awesome work and can do it all..repairs, veneer repair or application of veneer, upholstery, refinishing etc…thank you for your very informative videos and you don’t even have to talk since it is usually very clear what you are doing…
Ахти, добрый вечерочек! Куда же вы пропали? Мало ваших чудесных видео, скучаю 😢 они для меня как детская сказочка перед сном 😍🤗 очень успокаивают нервы))
Great job. I like to watch you work. You teach as well as restore beautiful furniture from the past. Didn't realize that shellac was all natural either. Have a great day
In the 1980s I was a partner in a shop doing exactly as your video shows, refinishing and repairing furniture. Many times, the same type of cabinets in the same state as you show. I wish we had the modern tools you use. Recently, in the garage, I came across some old fads - rubbing pads - made in the same way as yours. Stored in an airtight box and still usable if a little shellac or meths/denatured alcohol is applied.
I love true restorations, not just acoat of paint on and jack up the price. This cabinet us now a true treasure. I learned alot about repairing wormy wood !!! 😅😅
As soon as i saw there was about seven minutes left and most of the work was done, i knew you'd be making new handles. Superb work from start to finish.
The cabinet is superb! And so is your craftsmanship skills. Also may I say how handsome you are looking 😊❤ Great job and good luck in the competition.🎉
Absolute magic AT! I am enjoying the MCM Furniture YT Challenge. It will be tough to make a choice. You made this little Deco cupboard come alive. So enjoyable to watch. Thank you. ❤
Linseed oil and turpentine? Amazing Ahti! It really did turn out like 3D! You continue to amaze me with the quality of care you put into your restorations. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us! A++++!
Superb, indeed, AT! I love watching you because you make woodworking and furniture restoration look as natural to you as breathing! Good luck with the challenge!❤
It's so great to see you using your knowledge to produce this thorough and perfect restoration. The furniture turned out stunning! I enjoy a lot seeing you creating handles and I really liked seeing coffee as an ingredient that can help tone wood. Amazing video! Bravo, bravo!👏👏🌷
Such a pretty little cabinet. I have a cupboard myself with those little ball things to keep the door shut. Very satisfying click when they close. Thanks Ahti
It's always exciting to see one of your new videos is available. The methods for restoration that you use increase my knowledge and appreciation for your craft and I am ever impressed with the beauty of your finished work.
I learned so much watching your beautiful craftsmanship. The best of the challenge projects I have seen, surpassing some of my old and new favourite restorers. 🙏💚
I’ve been watching this collaboration challenge. Many of the others are very talented craftsmen. But I think you are in a different Master class. I always enjoy your videos.
I AM AN OLDER WOMAN NOW AND I MUST I ENJOY WATCHING YOU , MOSTLY AT NIGHT TIME TO ME WATCHING YOU IS RESTFUL YOU DO SUCH BEAUTIFUL WORK, GOD HAS GAVE YOU AN AMAZING TALENT.
You remind me with your videos how beautiful wood can be and how many wonderful stories it can tell when given a new life. Thank you for that very much ❤
I'm here for the MCM challenge. That cabinet is shiny and new again! The epoxy work to make the knobs was cool! I really appreciate the shellac recipe! I'm going to try that on my next project. I'm definitely hitting the subscribe button. Well done!!
Beautiful work, and I remember having a cupboard exactly the same as this, for my shoes back in the early '60's. I felt a little sad that you weren't able to use the original handles again because I remember how tactile they were with that indentation. brought back a lot of memories. 🤗
