Beautiful restauration! The cabinet is from a period called „Gründerzeit“ and was most likely the top part of a bigger buffet cabinet. Love the piece of newspaper you showed… it‘s written in old German and informed of the marriage of the potter Reinhold and Maria on the October 3rd, 1875. Thank you for sharing.

@Nicole Stöber, is Old German in that particular print type/font difficult to read, for a native German speaker? Because it sure is to me😅. Eventhough I have no problem what so ever reading German in "normal" (modern) print. With this particular type setting many letters seem to resemble a ß / Eszett, to me.✌🏻

There are some excellent restorers on KZread, but I think this guy is the best I've seen. He retains the integrity of the pieces with his knowledge, patience, thoroughness and top skills, one of which is his superb wood carving ability. He also doesn't rely on pointless pets (as nice as pets are) hanging around to gain the gullible pet-loving viewers' empathy and 'likes'. I've just 'subscribed'.

You blow me away, not only the many skill sets you have from, wood worker, black smith, metal worker, carver, cleaner, painter etc. It is not just that you know how to do these jobs but you do with the knowledge and extreme skill of a true artist. If any one says that what you do is not an art. They do not know the true meaning of art.

Well, it looked almost unsalvageable. "Disgusting" was an understatement. Part of your craftsman-artisan skill is that you see what many of us don't. This beautiful piece shows many of your skills. I am so impressed with the beauty of the natural wood finish you recreated. An antique restored to its original' simple, everyday elegance. Thanks for sharing this beautiful work.

The furniture makers in 'the old times' had most of the tools you see in this video. Just not the electric ones. They had power tools that were either water, steam, or engine driven. A modern craftsman would be very challenged to keep up with an 1875 craftsman. They had all the chisels, saws, and a myriad of hand planes that performed very well.

That being said, most smaller businesses or shops probably were not fitted with such things, just like today many small shops don't have the newest and latest technology in the field. I worked in a cabinetry shop that didn't even have a CNC until 2020!

Restorations like this make me very happy. I love historical furniture, it ha such a unique charm, and knowing that it served people hundreds of years before me is just... Amazing. It's sad to see them rot away because they aren't trendy anymore, and most people won't bother with them. So it makes me really satisfied when I see one get restored to its original glory. Especially if the person doing it tries to stay true to the original piece instead of just making it into osmething else. Sometimes old wood cannot be salvaged and I really appreciate you taking the time to recreate the broken / rotted pieces as closely to the originals as you could. Amazing work. :)

I can't get enough of these. I keep watching these restorations and really admire the skill and patience it takes to rework these works of art from the past. Plus I like your sense of humor.
