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.
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 !
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 !!!!
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!!
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
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.
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!
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 👍
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.
8:56 These oval head screws are quite hard to find! I needed one to complete a restoration of a pair of Thonet 233 style chairs. Could only find them in stainless steel so used it on the underside where it wouldn't easily be seen, and hand coloured the head with a marker pen to match the others. Your video has given me some useful tips - thanks!
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
That looks so beautiful once your skilled hands touched it after another's attempt at restoration. When you first showed it and I cringed when seeing the brush streaks on the seat. It is always enjoyable to watch you restore things to make them beautiful again. 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!
Beautiful day. I admire your work. You have no idea how much I would like to meet you here in Slovakia. I have a chest of drawers over 100 years old from my dear old mother, it is damaged and I have no one to restore it.
У меня есть стул, абсолютно идентичный этому во всём, кроме того что у него нет ни каких отверстий в сиденье. Он стоит у меня на веранде и последние пятьдесят лет я сижу на нём, когда летом пью чай и смотрю на свой сад. А до этого на нём сидел мой дед. Но он в совершенной исправности, только сильно потемнел за прошедшие годы. Вот посмотрел и подумал - а может обновить? Или уж пусть внуки, если он будет им ещё нужен. Отличная работа, как всегда. Посмотрел с удовольствием.

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!

I love watching these videos and seeing a real top craftsman at work.
Very pretty chair! Im happy you restored it back to period appearance! It looks so much nicer!❤
Imagine have these chairs in the dining room, and every one of them had a different one of those beautiful patterns they came in!
Absolutely Fabulous restoration ! Came out looking like new, as strong as when it was made, and

Hahahaha cool. The classic outro music is back. It just feels wrong without that cheesy riff
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

Beautiful chair-I love the design on the seat. Tested sitting down….not a single creak. 👍🏻. Excellent job-as always.
A true craftsman. Beautiful work. Thanks for letting us watch.
What a lovely chair & that seat detail!
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.
OMG! Amazing timing! I have two of these I need to restore and I've never attempted it before.THANK YOU!
Wonderful video!! Great work. And no talking… what a treat!

Windows are good way to start as a restorer.

Beautiful restoration. Would love a chair like that, especially after you have restored it so amazingly well!
Wow. Just, wow! I’m so very jealous of your delicious tools! Beautifully done.

Beautiful result. It looks so much better and the motive really inhances the beauty of the chair. Great workmanship.
It is good to see a Master at work.

Looks like it was made that way. Good choice!
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.👏👏👏👏👏😊
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.
Thanks for your video. I also enjoy restoring old furniture!
Absolutely top notch start to finish. Very well done !

Night and day transformation!! This chair is gorgeous!

Such a beautiful chair. You sir are good at what you do.
Very Beautiful!!!!💜💜💜💜💜
Beautiful work !
And now I want one like that !

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!
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 👍
Yeah, I like this a lot better than all the holes. Looks great!
Excellent. Now I know I love thonet chairs
Love the Art Nouveau seat, and seeing the options available when it was made - beautiful chair!
Люблю смотреть ваши работы. Вы счастливый человек, вы любите свою работу❤
Your finishing skills are amazing 👍
A man with a new toy. Couldn’t be happier
Excellent restoration 👍👍👍Thanks for sharing
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.
Nice restoration. Crunchy woodwork ASMR.
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
Another beautiful restoration.
That is simply beautiful. Another masterful repair.

Me encanta este modelo de silla y que extraordinaria la Afuero Lászer 2. Saludos desde Montevideo, Uruguay, Sud America
What a unique looking chair. Glad you were able to restore it as it should be.
Beautiful restoration! So glad i found your channel! 💙👍
Beautiful. This chair brought back so many happy memories of my life. Thank you.
Day and night difference,,,,,well done!
You are the best of the best. Sara
Another wonderful restoration. Great job!!
Вы волшебник, у вас во истину золотые ручки!
Красавец венский стул. Старинная работа. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Das mit der Zange um den Schraubenzieher zu drehen ist ein wirklich guter Tipp für mich 😊
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€.
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
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! 🙂👍
The laser is very cool, beautiful work!

It could be the diabetes, but I felt myself swooning a little bit when I watched you work. You are poetry in motion.
Superb craftsmanship. Thank you.
Absolutely beautiful!!!
Adoro seus vídeos. Você é um artista muito talentoso. A cadeira ficou maravilhosa. Parabéns.
Beauty-full chairs. Great job.!
