      Where I live in Austria, 70€ per hour work excl. 15% Tax. ➕ materials. Minimum, artist like you tend to charge a bit more.

      I have no knowledge on this subject but, with the hours involved plus your vast experience and talent, the rate of an artist and expert would be reasonable. In the US, that would be in the thousands.

      Scince a mechanic is around 120€ incl. tax in my area I think charging more would be appropriate. I would actually go to ~150€ per hour plus material

    If you have ever watched Bob Ross you know that he never makes a mistake, just happy accidents.
    I never understood that until he explained that it means that no matter what happens, you have the ability to make it work.
    You had several happy accidents with this one, and you had the opportunity to stretch your brain to fix them and in the end it DID come out great!
    Well done sir!

    I love chairs. Always surprisingly complex in their geometry and construction - we expect so much of them in terms of strength , beauty and comfort.
    In reality most are not financially worth repairing or restoring, but who can throw away the love and skill that went into them?
    You're honest, skilled and a privelege to watch working through the problems. Machines are great for mass production, but the best bits of this video (the successes) are almost exclusively when you picked up a chisel or other hand tool to do something that no machine could do. Machines and power tools are SO tempting, but hand tools are often the best to solve one-off complex problems. And way more satisfying!
    Keep up the good work - lovin' it, thanks. PLease keep sharing.

    Great job! The countless number of times I had to do similar repairs🙄!! Weakest spot on a chair is always where the seat meets the back legs. Owners then try and glue everything back together again, just making a bigger mess of it. With stained wood one can still hide the patched inlays, but unstained wood with clear varnish is a bugger
