"Visiting" your workshop is a peaceful oasis of competency and sanity in these trying times. Thanks for letting us in.

This project is a great reminder of 1) patience being a virtue and 2) one should not rush the detail work. Awesome job, Tom!

Wow. The photography, especially close-ups, are magnificent. Thanks for the show.

Best background music ever. Congrats.

What a beautiful chair, excellent repair as always

Such a beautiful unique chair and your work is masterful as always!

I always learn a lot from these, but I have to say the clamping solutions always amaze me.

When using a piece of wood to clamp down across a glued joint or over a patch, I always use a piece of waxed paper in between. I'm glad to see you are generous with the glue.

Not only fascinating and educational, but your vids are very relaxing to watch.

Your work is just amazing! I have learned so much watching your videos.

good to see you back...Frank Cambridge England

Tom What can I say? You continue to amaze me, not just with your consummate artistry and skills, but also with your wildlife photography...being a Brit I'm not familiar with those particular birds but love seeing them at close quarters...thank you, with huge respect always Dave

A lot of skills with your "know-how" (not sure of my English but I mean "savoir-faire" in French). After a bad damage, you give a second life to this very nice chair with once again an another outstanding result . Congrats Tom and thank you very much for sharing all these tips.

Great work as always Tom. Really enjoyed following along. Cheers, John

Looks pretty good. Nice one Thomas...Thanks

I’d like to thank you for your appreciation of chairs

Happy Easter!

Thanks for another awesome video

Gosh that chair is hideous. Still your work is impeccable and enjoyable to watch. I just recently found your channel and have beeb binge watching at every opportunity. Cheers from Germany

As always great work Tom. I have learned so much watching you, this coming from a guy that has 40 years of doing in-home touch-up repairs :)

Nice work. It does. Look pretty good Jim

Another invisible repair! You are the master Tom!

"I think it looks pretty good". Great skills do great repairs.

Finally some good shots of your part separator. Think I’ll try my hand at making a couple. I think it looks pretty good. Thanks for the vids.

Great job, great video - thanks, Tom.

Thank you for the video, I learn something from each one. Would you ever consider doing a video on your gap filling techniques? I’m interested in when you choose filler, two-part solid epoxy, liquid epoxy or wax and how you tone them. Thanks again!

Nice video to find after a week away on business. Thanks for taking the time to make and post your work. Appreciated.

My day is always better with a Tom Johnson video. It feels as though that chair suffered not so much a fall as an assault.

Super result!

another beautiful job great craftsmanship and dedication

Yes, please Tom, more videos...Always great watching you...cheers...rr

Yes, it does! More videos please!

Nice job once again Tom. Have a Happy Easter. Rich

I think it looks good Tom! Thanks for sharing it with us.😎👍JP

Great work

Curiosísima pieza, preciosa que fue a dar en manos maravillosas

Enjoy watching your videos Tom,nice job.

Lovely job again :-)

Your work . . . your talent . . . your videos are too cool . . . Thanks for sharing.

Looks really good to me

beautiful job.

Wonderful job as always!

Best job master!

Hey Tom, you've helped me with a tip or two in the past, so I thought I'd pass something along from my own experience as a hobbyist and modeler. You use water when smoothing out your partly set epoxy putty but I have been using 90% rubbing alcohol for the same kind of thing and it seems to leave a smoother surface behind it. You might experiment with denatured alcohol (which I believe you mentioned that you have on hand already) for the same purpose. I think the alcohol will give you a better finish and not "clump" the way the water seems to do. I hope it works for you. Thanks for this new video; another "pretty good" result!

Great Job Tom !!

Great work as usual Young Thomas!!

Your the man!

WOW! I thought you said 'you don't like to do puzzles'....you are great at it! ( I hate them too)

Great stuff thank you Thomas, interesting and educational as always.

First off, I have been binge watching your videos from #1 and absolutely love them. I have learned a ton. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. One question, and this is just for curiosities sake...I noticed, when you use epoxy to join things, you will dye it to make it darker. However, I have noticed that you use yellow PVA glue, but you don't use the dark wood that Titebond makes on the darker wood pieces that you would use the yellow on. Is there a specific reason for that or just personal preference? Again, thanks for the awesome videos.

Amazing repair!

Excellent as per usual!

Mr..Johnson please explain why you vary the types of glue for your glue-ups. I've been binge watching and I was expecting hot hide glue.

It still amazes me the manner in which you meticulously glue back the shattered bits and pieces of furniture trims and separated veneers to illustrate that not only can it be done, but with great "invisibility" and therefore should be endeavored. Thanks for showing us how its done! Where do you get you dye stains?

It looks pretty good to me too, Tom.

Excellent as always Tom:-)

Great work!

Nice use of "nooks and crannies" a term from my neck of the woods, dating from the middle ages. Incidentally cranny is also our word for ones little finger. Not in common usage in the States...yet.

For clamping the pillar you could have used a hose clamp (as i recently learned from one of your newer videos) ;-) Little joke..... ...... great video like all of yours.

Your videos are so satisfying :D Very good job . All the best Tom :)

What an improvement gluing all those spindles will make too. Must have been pretty rickety before.

U r really skillful n amazing .if I would be kid I would be a part of ur team n learn all ur skills since ur skills based on a very vast experience.

Titebond is a great product (very strong). I would have liked to see how you cleaned up the glue-up, putting the top of the chair back on. So many different surfaces. I would have made a total mess of this thing.

One thing I've noticed that may help you out. When applying putty, etc whether it be seams or whatever, use tape to mask off adjacent areas to limit the cleanup or sanding

you work miracles.

Like repairing mahogany spaghetti-nice job Tom.

Looks pretty good ... you’re signature ending. Love it! Great job, as usual. How strong is it overall after the repair? I notice some of the dowel holes had split or a piece chipped out. Especially the one piece that flaked off leaving about half the dowel hole left.

Pretty good.

It all came together well,Tom. I have two questions if you wouldn't mind answering, please.I note you usually use hide glues on original antiques? Are you more willing to use PVA type modern glues on contemporary furniture? If so why? And, are the dye stains you use water soluble stains or spirit based? Thanks again and I enjoyed watching the process of repair. David

Can't help thinking that someone needs to invent a spring clamp with jaws that have a flat back so you can put a screw on the back of them. Then you get instant accuracy with additional pressure...just a thought

Great work. Just a question: If the chair broke because it fell, wouldn't it be better to add some weight keeping it from falling again? The weight should be hidden somewhere under the seat.

Always a good watch. Thank you. One question....you used PGA glue to put the chair back together as Appleseed to hide glue. Was there a reason? I'm getting interested in getting some hide glue and a pot. I like the look of the glue.

Bravo Bravo Bravo Respekt ❤😍🤝

I’m always impressed by the ingenious way you use your clamps. Tite bond in lieu of hide glue, hmmm, because it’s a reproduction and not vintage?

thank you! Very interesting. A question: you used white/yellow glue on dowels, which I get, but did you clean or scrape off glue first? Also, as it was a reproduction, what kind of glue so you think it was first put together with? In general Can you put hide glue on pva, or pva on hide glue? Or would you always scrape off original? Thanks from Northern England

at 1:20 you poured the pieces into a flat odd shaped old container . Do you mind telling us how old it is, what kind of wood and its original purpose?

Question: how is it that the putty I use never seems to stain to match or at all? I'm wanting to learn more on repair and finishing techniques. Next question: Been wondering about the little sheath you have on above your right back pocket? I've seen you wear it in every video so far that I've watched. I'm guessing just a small fixed blade knife. What is it and have you done a video on it and any special meaning or use it has for you? Thanks!

Excellent 👍

Not antique but truly over the top elegant, like Audrey Hepburn as a piece of furniture.

Hey Thomas, looks like it'll last another 100 yrs. Great job !

Can you apply dye stain on top of an oil stain?

GOD is very definitely in the details !! Methodical

Never heard of dye stain...what brand do you recommend?

What white glue use

What brand dye stain do you use?

At 6:00 translation for millennials: "Hey Siri countdown 5 minutes". LOL great video Tom! Thank you and keep up the great content!

Why not save a bundle of time and use burn in shellac stick!

I have been watching your video's for two days now, I think I am developing a problem.

thomas hi 10+ bob in the uk

Completely invisible, marvellous repair. I do imagine that some irresponsible child was playing around and knocked the chair over, and the owner made them sit and watch your video: "See what you did? See? See?".

I'm not sure that guy was Tom. He was using yellow tape and Tom always uses Green. Imposter.

If I ever get an opportunity of visiting USA .I will meet u and kiss ur hands
