Love this book! kzread.infoUgkxpCNxqmAkyjN6NPx1fyB7QiEFWyO5mUWL it is simply one-of-a-kind! I really love it, because karah explained all tools required to have the job done, not mentioning the fabulous diy pallets ideas. I'm pretty sure this will be a fresh start in my new endeavour. Amazon was great, they delivered on time. Thank you!

Can’t tell you how thrilled I am to see this. Restoring this and weaving it into our family narrative is an amazing piece of artistry. Proud of you boy.

Dude!!! I absolutely love the intro. It was like a History channel documentary and so well done. Anytime you can get a chance to restore a piece of family history it just makes it all that much more meaningful. Great job!!!!!!

Your best video of your capabilities tied into your love for family and woodworking. Love seeing that tie in with history and family heritage.

Next level , find a way of making the speakers work and a port to attach your smart phone to it so you can play music like it's still a radio. I love what you've done to it .

How does this not have more views? The production quality, craftsmanship, and mix of family history make this so good.

I'm an Electronics Technician retired after 30 years in the field. One of my customers had 2 nine inch round RCA TV'S. He wanted me to combine the two to make a working TV. That's an era when capacitors were wrapped in wax paper. I've visited homes where the old console TV's were converted into liquor cabinets hidden behind the speakers. Prohibition era or just not wanting your guests to know that you had alcohol. That was an age of craftsmanship when the electronics matched your furniture. Great project.

Jonathan Katz-Moses I have a couple of pieces my papa made I need to rework.

Very slick! My dad used to repair and sell radios like this. He gave my brother and I one very similar to this back in the 60's when we were growing up. Of course, time has a way of separating us from our childhood treasures and I would do anything to have that radio back to restore it like you have done here. I fully understand the family nostalgia and the emotion in this build...very well done Jonathan!

Duuuude!!! Phenomenal work. Love how you incorporated the family history into the project. The initials on the present buttons is an awesome touch.

What a great story, and a very cool twist on that. My wife collects old radios, and I may have to requisition one for this exact purpose. Well done, and I hope the radio stays in the family for another 90 years!

Here I am sitting in my work shop/garage playing my old vinyl records. On now is Bachman Turner Overdrive (1974) and up pops this nostalgic video. Karma Brother 👍❤️

Great upcycle Jonathan. I have one of these 1930's radios as well in storage. Will be remodeling mine, but wish to have the tubes replaced with a modern stereo with added plug-in for the iphone but keep the retro look intact. My family was always into music and dance as I was growing up, so to keep that part of my Dad's radio memories intact is my goal. I used to stand in front of it and sing as mine has a plug for a 45 record player that sat on top. Not sure when I will be doing this refurb, but you gave me inspiration, thank you.

Inspirational Jon. I'm just starting to explore the fascinating world of woodworking, this idea of not just restoring a gorgeous vintage piece, but adapting it to something that will be used, is brilliant. Time to start trawling the ebay listings, creating something similar to this is now one of my longer term goals to work towards. congrats on a wonderful piece.

I've got my grandpa's old record player. It's the old hinge top. He passed a few months back, and that piece of furniture has been in his house since he built it 72 years ago. I was reluctant to restore it. But this has given me the drive to jump on it. The really cool part is it still works! They don't make them like that anymore.

I love this idea! It turned out great!

That's a really cool radio/bar. Must say the story in the beginning was brilliant. The video edit, music and story was just perfect harmony and stunning good looking. All thumbs up 👍👍

Fantastic video and awesome project! Well done, my friend.

The story and history of this radio is amazing and what a great way to keep priceless memories alive

Love the build, the story, and how you incorporated it all into the video.

Awesome video man. That’s what woodworking is all about, having a connection to a piece and bringing joy to people with it. That bubbly happiness you had at the end is gold, really beautiful work.

That is nothing short of EPIC!! What a fantastic way to preserve such great memories. I want one!

That turned out so beautifully Johnathan. Hearing the story/history of it was wonderful to. Incredible work.

This was fantastic on so many levels. Think of the history of families sitting around this as their major form of communication with the outside world Listening to radio broadcasts, war updates, Christmas themes, political / presidential addresses, baseball games.......wow, I’m blown away by the history of this. The list goes on and on.....Paul Harvey......Olson Wells and War of the Worlds......All of those World Series games....the Lone Ranger!! I would be here all day remembering these......

Not just an amazing product, but your highest-end video to date too. Amazing.

This is simply spectacular!

What a gorgeous old cabinet, Jonathan - beautifully restored, with the brilliant embellishment of a hidden bar (I LOVE the way the bar rises up on the TV lifter - super cool). I can see why this is by far your favourite project ever. Thank you for sharing

Very nicely done. Not sure if there's room, but it would have been really cool to add a BT speaker or slim radio to let it continue being a radio and be a bar at the same time. I could imagine some piano bar jazz playing while it lifts and you mix drinks. Love the mahogany & maple mix!
