Это, пожалуй, единственный на просторах интернета мастер по дереву, нежно и трепетно относящийся к вещам! Он, действительно, реставрирует старые вещи, а не ремонтирует! Браво, маэстро!
Ага как им написано в описании этот стул 50х годов из "Оккупированной" Советской Эстонии! 4 крупных завода им клятые "оккупанты" построили 1. Эстонсланец (ныне Enefit Kaevandused) 2.

I like how the repair still makes it look like an old chair, just well kept, rather than making it into a shiny new chair or (even worse) - something it never was (like some faux-rustic, shabby chic crap) . Way to respect the spirit of the old object. Thumbs up.
Our family is going through some difficult times. We are staying in a very small place with enough junk furniture for an entire TH-cam channel locked away in storage! Watching your videos is inspiring and will hopefully help me to do a better job restoring the 'treasures' we have accumulated over several generations. Thanks.
45 years ago, I found two old rocking chairs, with cane seats and backs, in my grandparents shed. Both had broken parts. Since the rockers were alike, I was able to savage one rocking chair from the two. They were covered in red barn paint! They must have been used as porch chairs once they were no longer in good enough condition to be in the parlor. I saved up and had the parts vat dipped to remove the paint and then glued and refinished with only linseed oil and paste wax. I had the chair caned. Beautiful! The finish has lasted 45 years....with lots of wear from children and pets. I had it in my home for many years and then passed it on to my daughter.
This is a great video! I really learned a lot, especially all the neat materials you used. It’s so good to save stuff rather than throwing them away. I especially like that your videos don’t have noisy, synthesized repetitive music in the background. Thanks so much for that!
Tim Hunkin recently said that what people would normally learn in an apprenticeship is now becoming available online in places like youtube. I really felt that here. There were multiple times it felt like I was asking you questions about how to do things, and you were answering them in your technique or i could refer to a previous or future bit of text. thanks a lot. i hope im back in a woodshop someday soon
An apprenticeship still requires hands on expierience and AQUIRED KNOWLEGE and while you can get the basics online if you cant apply it it means little....ive been doing this work over 30 years and still am surprised by some of the things brought to me.
@@jkoerjkoer1094 Yes, an apprentice needs "hands on" experience - youtube is not a sublet. Ideas shared are great but armchair experts cant replace experience and tools of the trade.
I love that you took a piece of furniture that has seen better days - and might've ended up on the fire (or garbage heap) - and made it useful again. This is something that needs to be more common in our modern world, where the garbage dumps are full of stuff that was either never intended to last a lifetime, or stuff that was, but was discarded anyway by folks without the skill or inclination to fix and keep it. Great job!
Lots of people have the incline just not the time. I'm a slave in america my work week beats me up. I restored a kitchen set made in the 1940s and it took well over 200 hours. I can see why this is not done more often then naught now a days time is a premium and I tell every one my time is extremely valuable.
I invite you to watch the "Repair-A-thon" series by "The Post Apocalyptic Inventor" here on TH-cam: the guy is going to scrapyards to save objects from the crusher, he than explains how to repair them or how to use parts in other objects, giving them a new purpose or a second chance in life, just genius!
It's a difficult one. To DIY, you need some sort of workshop, space to keep tools, offcuts of wood, bolts, screws, and time apart from day job and family. All that space costs money unless you inherit a large home in an undesirable part of the country. So you need a high income and someone to have shown you the core skills when young. I'm fortunate to be in that position and retired so I can do it as a hobby for myself and others. But, realistically, the cost of the restored chair is maybe £150 in UK representing 2 hours work, cost of workshop, depreciation of tools, etc
Haha I remember every office and dining room having chairs like this back in Poland, must be some sort of universal Warsaw Pact design. Great job, as always.
@@Its_Captain_Jack_Sparrow I saw a Japanese chisel once that was made up of three different layers of metal and you could shave a fine shaving off hardwood end grain with ease. The Japanese make extremely good woodworking tools...they've been building wooden temples for thousands of years.
It is amazing to me that you spend all this time to completely restore these old pieces that most people would never give the time. Amazing and great work! Incredible actually.
Not the style of chair I would put this effort into. I didn’t like the style when I was in grade school and it hasn’t grown on me any in the intervening 4 decades. It did make for a good demonstration of techniques. Nice job making it look as good as it could.
Strangely enough i would, because the back support on those is so much better than most of today, they are comfortable and much better built than a lot today
These chairs were really mass produced in USSR. I clearly remember the exactly the same one from my childhood. It was always sitting in the kitchen corner. Great job!
I could tell by the skillful way that those wires were twisted and bent down, that guy really knew his shit when it came to wiring chairs together. I am especially impressed but his choice of the gauge of the wire he used. Not too thick, not too thin. A perfect blend of metal work and woodwork! What a classic! I would’ve been proud to have that at my dinning table! A veritable classic Van Gogh of chairs! It seemed like it literally spoke to me and longed for me to sit on it! And YOU had to ruin it with your fancy tools and skills! What a travesty!!😂😂😂😂
Exactly- me too! PVA and heat instead of animal glue and veneer hammer, plug cutter instead of cutting them by hand on the fret saw, rolling the finish instead of spraying etc. All different methods of getting the same result....the chair looks great 👏🏻
It is such a joy and a relief to see a master craftsman putting respect into your work. Especially after a generation of soul-less junk being manufactured quickly and cheaply under slave labor and then pushed onto the consumer as getting a good deal for the money. Thank you!
People need to understand, this dude probably spent several Hundred Dollars worth of Labor Hours to fix what most people would just replace from IKEA for like $49. This type of dedication to a Craft is what Society is sorely missing these days.
Nobody is a pro, when you enjoy doing something and are good at it and don't criticise other's, alot of people talk alot of bull, I dislike that on TH-cam
Excellent work! For those interested in a trip - Estonia is a lovely country with nice people. Talinn is so interesting, with lovely historic buildings and a great atmosphere.
Awesome restoration of a beautiful little chair! Hubby is jealous. I told him that’s how it’s done and done right. Use clamps correctly and keep your tools sharpened. I don’t think he’s listening. Thank you for sharing this with us!
I watched almost all of your video over the weekend, I love the way you restore the furniture n not putting colourful paints on these furnitures. To me this is a way to respect what they are. You attend to all the details of the furniture. It is a pleasure to watch you working in a clean, neat and tidy workshop. Also great to see all the machines and tools you use to restore the furnitures. All the best from Hong Kong, keep it up💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Подписалась на Вас не так давно. Пересматриваю ролики и не могу не отметить, что Вы супер-мастер! Ваши руки, как песня. Извините за такое сравнение, но я любуюсь их работой.
I wish we did that more often in America. But the economics of manufacturing make it a losing proposition on a commercial level. Still the skill and craftsmanship are superb and its a wonder to watch. +1
I once had a chair like this in a rented flat. I fixed it with lots of epoxy. It retained the original shape, and epoxy had colour very close to that dark lacker. And the chair became sturdy as hell
This type of joint is not weak: this is what is used on a daily basis on guitars & basses all over the world, and they endure hundred Kgs of force due to the strings tension very well. Cheers from France!
The force acting on a guitar neck is putting virtually no strain on the joint at all, because it's almost precisely in line wth the neck. Even if you have a VERY high action, the offset is minute, and almost the entire force is doing nothing other than pulling the neck into the socket
@@ashscott6068 Force in line with the neck is what I was talking about, yes. Why would it put "virtually no stress at all" on the joint? The joint is diagonally set, so it must endure forces both perpendicularly and in line with it. (PS: sorry for my bad english)
Necks where the neck and headstock are built using this scarf-joint are much stronger than the one-piece necks that idolized Gibson guitars still use. Thank goodness their more affordable Epiphone brand has the good sense to use a scarf joint.
the wire repair was soviet repair because replacing was not possible and likely did not have the proper materials or tools to do a correct repair because......soviet
I wondered what kind of voice you had and now I know. It is so soothing to watch you with the restorations, it is your easy way of working and taking so much care when working. I love the outcome. Brilliant.
I absolutely loved the salvaging and rebirth of this chair. I have a 50's armchair that has suffered a bit and now that I have seen this video, I aam going to start working on it. Though it will probably take me a couple of years to finish that project. I love that leather looking fabric. It looks amazing. Thank you for all your beautiful work.
A very nice restoration! It is amazing what you can do with the proper tools and more importantly the proper knowledge. That chair reminded me of many chairs very much like it that I sat in as a child in schools and libraries in the 1950s, half a world away from Estonia. It must have been a fairly common chair design of that age. And I have to say, that for someone with probably almost no tools in the 1960s, that old repair was a lot better than it could have been!
First let me start by saying “I LOVED IT”! Second at 18:40 I could read your accent “The first WARNISH layer”. Loved that too! Please don’t stop! I’m a fan for life now!
Quanto mais vídeos dessas restaurações incríveis eu assisto mais fico impressionada com a dedicação e a perfeição no final de cada trabalho 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
So enjoyable to watch this and good to see a good piece of furniture get saved I’ve not done wood work in 20 years since leaving school watching this i can still smell the familiar aroma’s of the wood varnishes and waxes
The elegance of the twists in those wires was breathtaking. You're not bad either, I'm sure one day you'll twist a wire that'll make you go 'there! I finally achieved perfection'
Ваш снобизм смешон . Эти стулья имели рабочее предназначение , а не для дома . Вы видимо предполагаете , что господа капиталисты для рабочего класса в то время приготовили нечто эксклюзивное ? Увы, там дела обстояли гораздо плачевнее , чем вы думаете .
Not only are your restorations superb but I get to learn a little bit of history of the piece which makes it much more interesting. I love your videos. Pls keep videoing!
I see you didn't appreciate all the hours spent by the last artist to make it zombie apocalypse style. He wanted to use barb wire first but his local store was closed due to corona so he went with the normal wire. I thought it was nice. Maybe one leg could have been replaced with a leg bone or something.
Congratulations great restoration job. I understand that objects are restored that have value, not necessarily monetary, but sentimental value and people want restored objects because many of them probably tell part of the story of a lifetime. Very good job.
Some people look at the old chair like trash and other people see the potential in it beautiful job restoring it. Love learning about veneer and watching you make your own wood plugs. I'm always looking in the dumpsters for new projects
The fabrics name is RODEO and I bought it it from Nevotex (local dealer).

I mean, I guess I’m happy they tried something as opposed to tossing it in the trash, lol.
Very nice job. Love watching craftsman bring furniture back to life.
Amazing work. I just wonder why someone would want to restore it.
People are sentimental sometimes. I still have one really old chair i'd like to restore.
to make a nice youtube video, for entertainment
i'm assuming entirely sentimental value because those aren't comfortable chairs
Out of environmental concerns
Old plywood chairs, who thinks to restore this stuff?
Золотые руки! Можно смотреть бесконечно. Эти ролики единственное, что помогает не сойти с ума сейчас.
What the f.....! Excellent work.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought he was about to say something different :D
You never cease to amaze. I"ve learned a great deal from watching you.
You should call this the "Lazarus Chair" coz you basically brought it back from the dead.
The “What a fantastic job” was great both times
From Jacksonville Florida here
"I've got to many clamps"! said a wood worker NEVER in the history of the world !
Congratulations great restoration job. I understand that objects are restored that have value, not necessarily monetary, but sentimental value and people want restored objects because many of them probably tell part of the story of a lifetime. Very good job.
You understood correctly, thanks!
Some people look at the old chair like trash and other people see the potential in it beautiful job restoring it. Love learning about veneer and watching you make your own wood plugs. I'm always looking in the dumpsters for new projects
Me: No way he can restore this
AT Restoration: Hold my tools
Fantastic demonstration of craftsmanship showing what can be achieved to effect a repair in preference to replacement.
Старый Советский стул. Пока он жив, память о Советском Союзе не умрёт.
My friend I have been comparing your restorations with others and my conclusion is that you are excellent!
My favorite channel of restorations.
тому , кто починил стул с помощью проволоки ( без инструмента и мастерской) 👍
Now the chair is better than it was a brand new. Perfect restoration.
Ok mam your $35 chair is done. That’ll be $450
Very nice restoration! Even low end pieces deserve to be conserved! Well done, thank you.❤
