The man with a 1000 g-clamps! What craftsmanship, what integrity, what an eye for detail and also a sense of humour. I could never do any thing like this, I'm in awe of your work, bravo.
Gorgeous and such craftsmanship. I actually just bought this laser yesterday for my husband’s birthday. He does woodworking strictly as a hobby and I saw someone else I follow (who does woodworking/furniture restoration as hobby as well) use it, so I’m excited to give it to him. Just loving your channel, I’ve binge watched your videos this week and am in just awe at your work.
Absolutely Fabulous restoration ! Came out looking like new, as strong as when it was made, and with an improved design on the chair seat. This is where Craftsmanship meets Artistry !
Спасибо огромное. Всегда с удовольствием наблюдаю за вашей работой. Как говорится, можно бесконечно смотреть на то, как горит огонь, течет вода и как работает Человек.
I've got one with a relief seat but it's very badly worn and barely recogniseable in some areas. The wood is stained a very dark red. My aunt wanted to get rid of the chair and gave it to me, telling me it was completely worthless. Considering she's a professional art restorer I tend to trust her.
The Thonet chair No. 14 was the first model built in the new bentwood technic (in 1850). The seat came with viennese braid. Later the seat also was built out of plywood, blank, drilled or with embossed ornament. I love the Thonet furniture. The classics as the modern ones.
Your videos are excellent and thank you for teaching me so much. I am self taught and learning. I recently restored 100 year old sash windows and thanks to your videos rebuilt sections, repaired sp.its, secured mortices. Thanks a million.
Like i told you before.. i always enjoy watching your videos and learn new tips (plug drillbit with 4 cuting edges) so i say again THANK YOU for sharing 👍
Since I first saw your videos it became the most interesting way to spend my leisure time. Not only watching . I started to restore old pieces of furniture of our family. God, its so interesting! Thank you - you have changed my life. I am an amature oil painter, people say not the bad one, but restoring old things seems more interesting for me.
That is just stunning! What a beautiful piece of art, and so beautifully restored. So glad I found your channel, you are a master craftsman. Thank you!
I love the design you chose for the chair seat and the lazer was fun to watch. I am curious how the patterns were originally done as I am sure they did not have lazers when the chairs were made. Thanks for showing the old catalogue of patterns that were available, I do like the one you used, great job as usual.
My guess is that they had a big iron plate with the pattern raised above the surface, and they basically used this as a big branding iron in a press to burn the pattern into the flat seat before forming it. I've seen that sort of thing done in a lot of old films where they were making furniture, boxes, or even fancy cakes where they wanted a label on it. I don't know for a fact it was done this way here, but it seems like a reasonable guess.
How beautiful became the chair with that ornament on the seat! You delight us with your videos! Congratulations, it is very pleasant to watch your work!⚘
I admire your work, I watch movies with great curiosity and inspiration. Soon the old bedside tables and the dressing table were renovated with a wooden mirror from before the 1st World War
The vice grip on the screwdriver trick you used is amazing, and I can’t believe I never thought of that! My day job is signage at a zoo, and we get a lot of stuck screws, and I’m totally using that! Beautiful work!!
From Wikipedia: Autonomous sensory meridian response, sometimes auto sensory meridian response, is a tingling sensation that usually begins on the scalp and moves down the back of the neck and upper spine. A pleasant form of paresthesia, it has been compared with auditory-tactile synesthesia and may overlap with frisson. From Oxford Languages: noun a feeling of well-being combined with a tingling sensation in the scalp and down the back of the neck, as experienced by some people in response to a specific gentle stimulus, often a particular sound. "ASMR is triggered by things like whispering voices, paper tearing, and scalp massage"
Sooooo much better! You set the standard for the furniture repair and restoration I watch on TH-cam. Beautiful new toy you’ve got for yourself, too. Look forward to your next job/miracle/masterpiece.
i have watched a few of your videos on fb video tab and you..... master mechanics and chester..... are ABSOLUTELY AWE STRUCK how you all..... manage to grab something thats broken useless and rejected...... into a brand new fresh life of being used and loved again...im going to get this wrong.... but one of you salvaged a lathe??????? UNREAL!!!!!!! thank you ALLL for every project you do on/ off camera!!!! as the saying goes your saving the planet 1 piece at a time ;];];];] im from northern maine U.S.A. ....thank you !!!!
Another brilliant piece of work. Some people get start off with the intention of restoration and end up with inadvertent destruction. Thank goodness you were there to save it.
I love the design you gave it. The laser burners are terrific I been checking into them for doll house wood working. Thinking about giving one of my doll houses transoms above the doors, and the laser seems to be the best route to go. You do such great work on the pieces that I have seen. You have a wonderful day
Love the cool laser machine! I like the way you combine innovative technology with timeless master craftsmanship for another stunning renovation. Always enjoy watching the different techniques you use to get such great results. Thank you!
You did a great job on the chair, considering what you had to work with. On more occasions than I care to think about, I have had to plant myself on one of those things. It's a 5-minute chair. Max! The classic utility chair, no comfort intended. Anyone who invites you to sit in that chair does not want you around for long. Probably the reason they last so long. :) Thanks. Keep up the great work! Happy weekend!
I love watching these videos and seeing a real top craftsman at work.
Imagine have these chairs in the dining room, and every one of them had a different one of those beautiful patterns they came in!
The man with a 1000 g-clamps! What craftsmanship, what integrity, what an eye for detail and also a sense of humour. I could never do any thing like this, I'm in awe of your work, bravo.
There's a saying among quilters that she who dies with the most fabric wins. I wonder if the same is true for woodworkers and clamps.
@@freethebirds3578 That would be too easy :)
I always notice the number of clamps being used! Glad I’m not the only one!

Hahahaha cool. The classic outro music is back. It just feels wrong without that cheesy riff
Very pretty chair! Im happy you restored it back to period appearance! It looks so much nicer!❤
Gorgeous and such craftsmanship. I actually just bought this laser yesterday for my husband’s birthday. He does woodworking strictly as a hobby and I saw someone else I follow (who does woodworking/furniture restoration as hobby as well) use it, so I’m excited to give it to him.

Beautiful chair-I love the design on the seat. Tested sitting down….not a single creak. 👍🏻. Excellent job-as always.
Absolutely Fabulous restoration ! Came out looking like new, as strong as when it was made, and
with an improved design on the chair seat. This is where Craftsmanship meets Artistry !
Спасибо огромное. Всегда с удовольствием наблюдаю за вашей работой. Как говорится, можно бесконечно смотреть на то, как горит огонь, течет вода и как работает Человек.
It looks like an original that is in impeccable shape.
I’d never seen one of these with anything but the drilled hole pattern. This ended up very lovely

Wonderful video!! Great work. And no talking… what a treat!
A true craftsman. Beautiful work. Thanks for letting us watch.

Windows are good way to start as a restorer.
Wow. Just, wow! I’m so very jealous of your delicious tools! Beautifully done.
OMG! Amazing timing! I have two of these I need to restore and I've never attempted it before.THANK YOU!
Night and day transformation!! This chair is gorgeous!
Yeah, I like this a lot better than all the holes. Looks great!
Beautiful restoration. Would love a chair like that, especially after you have restored it so amazingly well!
Like i told you before.. i always enjoy watching your videos and learn new tips (plug drillbit with 4 cuting edges) so i say again THANK YOU for sharing 👍
Absolutely top notch start to finish. Very well done !
Thanks for your video. I also enjoy restoring old furniture!
Das mit der Zange um den Schraubenzieher zu drehen ist ein wirklich guter Tipp für mich 😊
Thanks for the history of the chair, I have never heard of them and appreciated the new knowledge! Great job! God bless you and yours.👏👏👏👏👏😊
Beautiful result. It looks so much better and the motive really inhances the beauty of the chair. Great workmanship.
Ahhh yes, much better than before.
It is good to see a Master at work.
I love Art nouveau. Thanks Ahti for another beautiful restauration.
Nice restoration. Crunchy woodwork ASMR.

That is just stunning! What a beautiful piece of art, and so beautifully restored. So glad I found your channel, you are a master craftsman.

This is awesome! I have two of these chairs. I found them at a beach in the sand as a place hold er for a car. Scooped them up. Love the idea.

Adoro seus vídeos. Você é um artista muito talentoso. A cadeira ficou maravilhosa. Parabéns.
Gorgeous! Another job very well done sir.
Also, "crunchy woodwork ASMR"- LOL Love it! 😆
What does ASMR stand for?

The laser is very cool, beautiful work!
Beauty-full chairs. Great job.!

Beautiful!!! Love watching the laser.
Love the Art Nouveau seat, and seeing the options available when it was made - beautiful chair!
Having a laser machine for a project like this is a definite plus, but then so is having all those other skills which you have. Beautiful outcome! 🙂👍
Before: "Hey that looks alright. What's the big deal?"
After: "WOW! What a difference. A TRUE restoration.
I had to close my eyes for most of the laser engraving. Just to be safe 🤣 Amazing work once again dude 😎
Day and night difference,,,,,well done!
Another brilliant piece of work. Some people get start off with the intention of restoration and end up with inadvertent destruction. Thank goodness you were there to save it.

My great aunt used to have these chairs in her small kitchen
Brings back wonderful memories
Not sure if my aunt has them stored in her loft now x
Вы волшебник, у вас во истину золотые ручки!
Perfection achieved as usual. Congrats! 😊
You are the best of the best. Sara
Люблю смотреть ваши работы. Вы счастливый человек, вы любите свою работу❤
What a unique looking chair. Glad you were able to restore it as it should be.
What a beautiful chair! I think it’s so sad that they are not being made for people to own today
They are still produced today, they cost around 150€.
Great job! Thank you for allowing us into your shop!
Beautiful restoration.
Lovely work. I loved how you removed the red paint. Thanks so much for sharing this.
Absolutely beautiful
Vous êtes un artiste 🎨
