Obscenely filthy railway station bench restoration

As a retired railroader I'm gratified to see our history preserved. Thank you very much.

I say it every time. And I don’t mind saying it again… getting a notification that Ahti has posted a new video is just the best thing my phone has done today lol… I can’t wait to watch in full later… ❤️

Well, hidden drawers, wormholes, laser printing, typical great restoration skills AND a shoot out! This was quite an episode 😊

The design wasn’t even visible in the unfinished piece, but it was probably the reason that made the restoration worthwhile. I love the fact that you use both old master skills and cutting edge technology to achieve your fabulous results Ahti. Thank you for another mesmerizing idea!

This bench will "live" to see many more days , thanks to you ! The design on the seat and back panels is lovely , and the graceful design brings a beauty to a utilitarian piece of furniture not generally seen in today's public places .

That is an excellent restoration. Not too much, so it still has the look of an old bench. The 3D printing to replicate the pattern was inspired, and well executed, and the domed upholstery tacks finished it off nicely. Well done sir!

Wow 🤩 I didn’t even see that beautiful detail until you scrubbed it! You have so many magic tricks to save the furniture! Not to mention the big “shoot out “! 😂😂 I love it when you show your humor! A good laugh in the morning to start my day. Thank you 🙏🏻! Can’t wait for the next video! God Bless!

I love how you retained the character of the bench and make it look beautiful again. Great job.

Restoring one piece at a time. These older creations have more craftsmanship and style than any of today's stuff. Beautiful!

How absolutely lovely. And so clever with the laser imaging. You brought it back to life and it's wonderful. Thanks for sharing this, Ahti. This was a fun restoration.

I am amazed at the detail that was hidden by all of that dirt. I am glad you kept the character of the piece and didn’t restore it to look like new.

Oh my goodness Ahti, what restoration you have done. I know I’ve said this many times but your awesome! I had no idea that there was a design on those seats. You using that cool machine of yours definitely did it’s job. I never new you can hide those worm holes but I learned that you can. Everyone wants church pews but I’d rather have a bench from a railroad station. If this bench could talk can you imagine the wonderful n sad stories it could tell. It’s definitely been well used n probably some love. I like to mention, I’m so happy that you started this Utube channel. You are a master in your trade. I’m never disappointed in watching restore some history. Thank you. ♥️♥️♥️♥️😊👍👍🌟🌟🌟 PS, I love your sense of humor too.

as always a spectacular restoration. One of your videos and a cup of coffee and its a great day. Thank you for taking all the time and effort to edit and post these videos. it is greatly appreciated.

Нравится наблюдать за вашей работой: никакой суеты, ни одного лишнего движения. И, как всегда, великолепный результат!

Great job! I cant believe that those thin seats weren't broken beyond repair after all those years. The printing was a work of genius.

So glad to see all the old pieces being restored. Thank you for all your hard work and thoughtfulness.

Marvellous job, Ahti. I can imagine the buzz you get when you see the owner's joy and surprise on their face, seeing their piece restored. Who knows how many viewers have been inspired to take up cabinet making after watching your videos. Cheers, mate.

I like your no-nonsense approach, yet your respect for the craftsmanship and honesty of the piece you restore is always paramount. Always a pleasure watching you work.

Perfectly imperfect ! OLD gal shows her age but not all her battle scars. Imagine the stories she could tell ! Love this piece. You are a genius in restoration. Thank you .

I love seeing old pieces restored. Not only did you give it new life, you are keeping history alive. I never would have guessed that all of the dark areas were dirt and grime!! Wow! It got a well-deserved bath. Lol. It's gorgeous now!!!
