  • After my appearance in state TV, four clients brought me their armchairs (I mentioned that like to restore chairs) to restore, this is one of them. Usually the stuff I do, needs many repairs but this one had mostly the backrest problem.
    My favorite tools:
    Makita plunge saw and guide rail: amzn.to/3fmTaoI
    Makita router: amzn.to/3BMRDzQ
    Makita router guide adapter: amzn.to/3SeGONS
    Kärcher steam cleaner: amzn.to/3jltvLf
    Bessey edge clamps: amzn.to/3A6i7K3
    Dovetail jig: amzn.to/2VeM7Vw
    Workshop vacuum: www.amazon.com....
    Random orbital sander: amzn.to/3A925PK
    Oscillating Spindle Sander amzn.to/3lq9t4X
    Camera: amzn.to/3e5CG0V
    Led goggles: amzn.to/3we7mq1
    Protective shield: amzn.to/3Pnthmj

    Every time I watch your video I want to go and buy some broken antiques and renovate them 😂😂😂

    I laughed so hard after you sat down. The close-up of you w/the sound was Oscar©️ worthy! 🤣
    Beautiful job on the restoration, as always. Really love the fabric, and the shellac finish. Cool how the seam is hidden by the chair's design. Also like how it keeps the profile of the back more streamline; not puffy. Chair looked really drab before. It's gorgeous now, very curvy & sexy. ❤
    Thanks for another excellent video, Ahti!

    The way the wood moves after the layers of stain and shellac are applied is very beautiful. The wood grain really shows well. Beautiful restoration 😊

    Such a pretty chair!! And it looks very comfortable, too! (As long as it has a seat!)😁❤️😍

    It's barely safe for me to use a regular stapler to staple papers together. I would probably be a threat to myself and others with most of the tools you use. Fortunately, because of my severe nearsightedness, the lenses on my glasses are extremely thick. They could probably stop anything short of bullet.

    I restored a pair of chairs which looks like yours! But it had an other form.
    Oak, dark finish, brown faux leather with green other side (the same actually), seaweeds. Chairs had even the pencil-writing on the plywood.

    Love the non-slip clamping wedges...on my todo list! Thanks for the spirits/scrub trick for lightening the stain. Loved the humor and fun videography style on this one. And Yes nothing much better than multiple coats of shellac (bug poop) to make the curves and grain pop to eye candy! Glad you got some business from your appearance and hope it grows. Thanks much for what you bring back to the community!!

  • @kimberlycastleman7058
    @kimberlycastleman7058 ปีที่แล้ว

    I would have thrown that chair away. I thought it was ugly. Then you restored it. Now I see how beautiful the curves are and what nice style it has. Really lovely, now.

    Another awesome job Ahti. True, this one didn't need the full-on restoration you often do, but it still took high-level skills and knowledge to make the end product what it is. My wife laughed at the forgotten seat incident! :) Thank you again brother for your work and amazing videos. God bless. Rev. D.

    Yes, those chair curves are quite sexy! That's what draws me to a piece when I'm looking to restore as well. But... if I'm going to need THAT many clamps for an easy curved back, I better get my Christmas letter to Santa ASAP. LOL

    One of the things I like about your channel is the absence of the expendable monologues that are common on other catering channels. The sound of the tools, saws, sandpaper and polishers are a plus for anyone who enjoys restoration.
