Like you said there are a lot of restoration channels out there and you were just trying to stand out. I like your sense of humor 😅 Yes there are mistakes you had made but atleast you weren't afraid to post it knowing you were probably going to get shit from people. Love the chair! Keep doing you! Good luck

Way cool restoration.. The jokes made it even better!! 😂.. I'm definitely a subscriber from now on!

That drill rack is worth a watch..so awesome.

I have one similar in style, but mine is MCM with recessed handles

Do you know, when it was build?

The size of the screwdriver bit you were using is too small, it was really annoying to watch.

When things were well made with recyclable and/or reusable materials, now everything is vile non-reusable plastic

You had me at “Holy Hand Grenade.” 😂

It looks great and you did a wonderful job restoring it as well!!!! I enjoyed your video so I gave it a Thumbs Up

Was the intention of the restoration to create a visual side piece or an actual functional chair? The reason someone painted it was because it’s open grain oak, and they didn’t know how to restore it properly. As rough as it was after the first painting, it really needed a resin to fill the grain particularly on the seat and arms, if you plan to sit comfortably. For the seat, once you sanded the flat edges, it was a mistake to create a thick paste holding your joint apart and accentuating the line rather than bonding and clamping the glued surface together. The sawdust may have been useful as a paste filler elsewhere on the chair. From what I see, this was less a restoration and more a decorative piece that is 50% functional.

Lot of work to destroy some beautiful furniture. What's its next destination? Tip or bonfire?

Sorry, 😊 Nick Zamatti beat you to the glove snap. He has been doing it for years. 😅

Great job.

Subscribed as soon as you threw the hand gesture! That's exactly what I would have done!

What did you do with this once it was finished?

Прелестно! В этом кресле надо сидеть с газетой и трубкой у камина.

That wood looked super dry. I would've let the pieces soak in water for a few days first.

The 'sigh' was e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g! We can all relate😁 Such a beautiful oak chair...looks so comfy too! Great work and great video...thanks for sharing🤩

Пожалуйста, год изготовления этого стула? 😊❤❤❤

That spray shellac has wax in it so not a good idea to use as a primer for paint. You'd want Zinsser Bin Shellac-based primer (hard to clean out of a sprayer, but a foam roller is fine), or Zinsser's sealer, which is dewaxed shellac.

Most "restorationists" would have painted it blue. Thank goodness you know what you are doing. Well done you.

Finally someone who actually restores furniture instead of just sanding and slapping on a coat of cheap paint. It's amusing those who.do such heinous acts then pat themselves on the back for their efforts and ability.

Excellent craftsmanship 😊

Amazing! Thanks for sharing! To save time on the edge banding, you can put painter's tape over the void, trace the shape, put the tape on the edge banding and cut it out with scissors. Any old household pair of scissors cuts through that iron-on stuff no problem!

Looks beautiful.

The finish looks great, nice hardware choice. I think I personally would have a cupboard and not all that hefty metal work.

Как жаль, что весь процесс восстановления не увидела! Вы последовательно разбирали это кресло, почему я не увидела ту же последовательность сборки? И все же спасибо за видео.

What a GREAT restoration. I can see you sitting in that chair in your high-collared black business suit with wire rimmed glasses, reading something as you rock back and forth. You did a wonderful job restoring this chair. Awesome!

Great Video! The quad shot near the beginning was a cool feature! And like others have said, we love rust removal! Watching 50-100yrs of rust come off is very satisfying, please show it if you can! And don't feel bad about blocking the camera, it can be your trademark, haha! Liked and Subbed! Cheers!

From the aspects of hinges and dovetails, I think, if it isn't repared before and some things wasn't changed, it wasn't 100 years old Par l'aspect des charnières et des queues d'arondes, je pense que si il n'a pas été réparé ou certaines choses changées, il n'aurait pas 100 ans

So beautiful. A real craftsman restoring a piece rather than painting it. So refreshing to see.

ES una muy mala restsuracion muchisimos detalles le falto y mucho pulir la madera y lo grotesco de la base en su interior imperdonable en lo personal creo que como restaurador es un buen mandadero

I was actually not impressed with the editing. Seems that more time is utilized for the editing rather than the restoration. Because of this I did not get to see a lot of the actual restoring and reassembly of the piece. Focusing on dramatics is not what I'm here to watch, I experience that enough in the work I do.

Poll not pole.

Финиш 👍👍👍👍 Одно только печально - ролик очень короткий... Не показана работа по восстановлению металлической основы и роликов.. Ну и в конце надо было сесть на реанимированного😅, как в самом начале ролика... И прибавить кадры "было - стало"... Такая шикарная работа 🎉 и так коротко показана...😢

Absolutely gorgeous! You make everything look so easy, but I know it wasn't. I love the hardware you chose too!

not a furniture restorer. home owner with nothing better to do maybe. playing with camera shots and gimmicks don't make a wood worker

My only criticism is the missing items that weren't replaced... The missing drawer dividers (the slanted ones were for commonly used blank forms) The missing pull out tray The missing pencil drawer

Parabéns

You're making this old mechanic crazy... Rather than using the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch, why didn't you use the appropriate size screwdriver along with the WD-40??? Using a screwdriver that is too small is the number 1 reason for a stripped screw head... smdh... That screwdriver blade was half the size of the slot on the screw... Use the appropriate tool! 5/10 😑 I'm not impressed From start to finish, you used the wrong size slotted screwdriver, way too small for those screws. None of the screws were firmly & evenly seated after you reinstalled them. Adding sawdust to wood glue weakens the glue substantially. You made 2 weak glue joints on the seat... Furthermore, adding sawdust to the glue did not hide nor disguise the glue joints, which it seems to have been your intention. Hide glue would be a better adhesive for you to use because it's easier to remove in order to correct your many mistakes. Go to AT Restoration to watch a professional furniture restorer. You can learn a lot from Ahti.

NICE NICE BABY!!!

Loved it! I'd have gone for a Tung oil finish, but the poly is probably more durable.

Nice! But you left more than half out? All the metal pieces and the restoration of them, and also a lot of the reassembly

I am in my 70s. Years ago my father, retired from the S.P. Railroad, brought a desk and chair almost identical to yours home. He restored them both and now my sister has them. They still look as good as the day he finished them. They still work well. Seeing the work you put into yours, they will last as long as you want them to.

Nice job,

Do you have any idea how old this chair is?

You have officially become my favorite furniture restoration youtuber 👍🏻 So relieved this beautiful piece did not end up getting covered with paint!
