Hi. i am chris
My passion is restoring old and broken furniture, refurbishing old furniture and renewing and rebuilding antiques.
I think it's nice when you make old broken things usable and beautiful again. It's also very good for sustainability if you give these things another chance.
I am not a carpenter, carpenter, restorer or similar. It's a hobby and a passion!
I will share a new restoration per month. So please subscribe to my channel and activate the bell so you don't miss anything.
Thanks for watching and supporting me!
Greetings from Oberberg, Chris

Esses barulhinhos me relaxam. Amo. Kkkkk
I bet it’s really beautiful underneath.
It looks so much better. Great work
That was a total transformation! Crap to cream! But those tiny handles won’t pass muster! If you have a heavy load in them……you’d break your little finger!!!!! Change them!
Not a Biedermeier, but it’s a nice piece!
😀
AT Restoration никогда бы такую кромку у столешницы не оставил... уж извините за прямоту
Именно так. Он реставратор. А я занимаюсь этим как хобби. И я не АТ.
Получилась красивая вещь. У вас золотые руки!😮😊
😀
Dreadful makeover, I can't believe you did not use the original hardware.... 🤮🤮🤮
🤷♀️
😍👏🏼
😀
ABSOLUTELY 💯 BEAUTIFUL 💯 AND BEAUTIFUL. ❤ 🎉 ❤ .

Bonjour, magnifique vous êtes un magicien de la restauration. J’aime votre travail vous avez de l’or dans les mains. Je suis admirative du avant restauration et après. C’est génial de pouvoir redonner vie à certains objets bravo monsieur.
Merci 😀
Посмотрите натуральный шпон из африканской древесины макоре - Макоре «пирамида» [Makore Crotch].Такой рисунок получают строганием развилки ствола. Очень похож. Спасибо за Вашу работу!
Большое спасибо. Я так и сделаю. 😀
Wow! In an old English saying: you “made a silk purse from a sow’s ear!” It was just as much fun to look at all your collection of carpenter’s toys, as it was fun to watch your skill and ingenuity. I felt a bit worried to see the wormholes, and the disintegrated snail decorations, but you solved the problems.
Thank you very much 😀
Tiger- oder Zebraholz?
🤷♀️
Always - COOL...
😀 Thanks
Enhorabuena, maravilloso trabajo, ha quedado espectacular
😀
Beautiful work
😀
Mega schön geworden- danke dafür 😊
😀
Given my limited knowledge and experience, I hesitate to make this suggestion, but could the wood be zebra wood? I've only seen it once, in a small sheet of veneer, but it has stayed with me. I believe the trees from which this type of wood is harvested are grown in Central America and, while exotic and thus $$, are not *as* $$ as rosewood and mahogany, which might be why they are used less: customers at the $$ end of the market might want the most $$, and simply what is most beautiful of what is available to the craftsman? Not that there is anything not to live in rosewood or mahogany, but this is so unusual, and it's grain/stripes were used so well in crafting this particular piece.
Unfortunately, I can't tell you. I've spoken to 3 experts. One of them was a restorer. None of them knew. 🤷♀️
What beautiful wood grain in this piece. Question though - as there are no handles on the drawers how do you open them?
Biedermeier chests of drawers have no handles. The drawers are opened with a key. That's why I made an effort to make them run so easily again. 😀
Τέλειο

Love it, v well done 😊
😀
Браво! Проделана огромная работа. Вы мастер!
😀
Beautiful, absolutely gorgeous. Unbelievable looking at what you started with.
😀
Beautiful job. I learned a couple of things maybe more.
It is amazing what you do for your restorations/ Great job and so informative.
thank you 😀
It’s crazy we are in the paint everything farmhouse cycle right now so there will be plenty of opportunities for videos like this in the future.
That's right 😀
It's better than nothing, but it's not a professional restoration. Those plastic key holes - ...
It's not plastic, it's bone
Bei dem Furnier musste ich auch als erstes an Birke geflammt denken, allerdings passt der Kontrast nicht dazu. Also dachte ich, vielleicht war vorher eine dunkle Beize drauf, die an der "abtauchenden" Maserung tiefer ins Holz gedrungen ist, und dann nachher beim Schleifen dann nicht mehr abgetragen wurde…? 🤔
Das sagte ein Restaurator in unserer Nähe auch. Er war sich aber trotzdem unsicher wegen dem Holz. es könnte Birke genau wie Nussbaum sein. 🤷♀️
Ganz phantastische Arbeit. Hervorragend zu zuschauen. ❤❤Gratuliere!!
Danke für das Lob!
Where did you buy those keys? I need them also but can’t find them anywhere 😢

Hi, I have similarly built dresser and I tried to restore it myself but both sides are cracked in half and separated and I can’t figure out how to fix it. I tried pushing them back together to glue them but they won’t move, so I probably need to disassemble the dresser and glue them together, right? But the problem is I don’t know how to take it apart as everything is glued together and covered in veneer. What do you suggest? I would be so thankful if you can help me with some advice! Thank you for providing us awesome content and I’m looking forward to your reply 😊
Hi, that's very difficult to say without having seen the chest of drawers. In most cases, veneers and wood can be removed with warm water or steam. But it is a lot of work. If the boards are apart, you could use a wood chipper over the entire length. Then close the cracks with wood filler. I'm sorry if I can't help you any more. Regards
Incredible !
😀
Großartige Arbeit wie immer, Chris Bravo. Ihr Kanal und Ismail @restomaniac waren für mich die Inspiration, meinen eigenen Kanal zu starten. Ich werde nie so gut sein wie ihr, aber wir können alle träumen!! 😉
Vielen Dank! Einfach machen. Ich lerne bei jedem Projekt. Gelernt habe ich von Videos. 👍
Mit Abstand keine 1200 Euro im Wiederverkauf wert.

Where are the handles?
Biedermeier chests of drawers have no handles. The drawers are opened with a key.
What about the handels?😊
There is none for Biedermeier furniture. These are opened with the keys.
Bravo pour la serrure !
😀
Beautiful work! What kind of wood is it?
Thanks. I do not know.
Beautiful result. Does the shellac kit come with instructions in English?
Thanks. 😀 Yes, there is also a translation in English.
@@chrigunrestauration thanks for your reply
Sehr schönes Ergebnis...😀
Dankeschön 😊
I never would think that was possible. Very nice job . It turned out BEAUTIFUL ❤
Thank you. 😀
I have never seen this kind of wood before. But you made it into a restored treasure.
Thank you. Unfortunately nobody could tell me which wood it is. 🤷♀️
I have found love letters in the back of a dresser…from a solider that did not come home. She married someone else. But those letters stayed, tacked to the back of a dresser drawer for 80 years! ( i knew the family, but i never told aunties secret)
That is a very nice secret. Whoever finds it will be very happy. 👍😀
I've found ink usually comes out best with isopropyl alcohol. Just drench it and have lots of old cloths handy as the ink drips off.
Thank you. I will give it a try. 😀
Absolutely stunning brilliant job ❤❤❤❤❤❤
😀
😊
😀
might be Tiger Maple
I'll have a look at it 😀
...ich bin nicht vom Fach... Aber Olivenholz sieht doch auch so wild aus....😮
Das stimmt. Ist es aber leider nicht.
Sorry, muss ich kurz nur mal loswerden... Mir sind die Sätze und Beschreibungen zu kurz eingeblendet. Ich muss ständig zurück und auf Pause um genügend Zeit zum lesen zu haben. Sonst sind deine Videos super!❤
Danke. Ja. Das höre ich nicht zum ersten mal. Irgendetwas ist da wohl durcheinander geraten. 🤷♀️Gruß
