David, your patience and persistence is a testament to the kind of guy you are. Your determination to put your name only to the very highest standards of skill and workmanship is truly remarkable and rare in this age of mass production. I hope that Emily will keep this video and it will stay with the chair down the generations and it will be viewed many times with awe and pride. I know that George will love this chair and it will be enjoyed by many, many children. Your artistic flair for the finish and upholstery for all the pieces you bring back to life is astounding. Daisy, as always, made me smile. I am so glad that she now has a diagnosis and can be treated accordingly. You will need to work extra hard now to pay those vet bills. This comment is nearly as long as your video so I will stop now and look forward to your next post.
Thanks as always for your amazing comments of support Pamela, it really means a lot. You're not wrong about working to pay off the vets bills. 🤣🤣. She's worth every penny though. ❤️❤️
I am so happy there are people who appreciate the history of old family pieces, but even happier to see people who have the skills to bring them back from the dead. Your patience and love of restoration have paid off again. That rocker is stunning. George is a lucky duck!!!
Apropos of nothing, the thought occurred to me that your little George now has a visual record of how you fixed that chair for him, this is going to make it even more special.
My goodness, you have knocked this one out of the park. What a glorious restoration and every element of it shows it was a labour of love. Many, many congratulations. The news about Daisy made my heart hurt. She is always a ray of pure sunshine. Without a doubt, she will make a full and speedy recovery. Warmest thoughts to you both from the west of Ireland.
I love the outcome. The duck fabric is adorable. George is a lucky fellow. The work you put into the little rocker is awesome. It challenged you and what it taught you was outstanding. Again lucky George awesome job well done.
What a lesson in patience. I am sure George and his mother will love this little rocker. I hope when George is a bit older his mother shows him this video so he can see how much love and work you put into his little treasure. Glad to hear Daisy has been diagnosed and is on the way to a good thyroid level. I have been on thyroid meds for around 25 years now. The wonders of modern meds.
My Cousin was in tears when she saw the chair and how much work i'd put into it so its all worth it. Daisy is starting to get much better after being on the meds for about 6 weeks now. Thanks for caring 😃🐶❤️
I'm in total awe!! Talk about perseverance in the face of challenge!! All the things you had to overcome with this chair leaves me speechless. It's a beautiful restoration. You should be so proud of yourself. I'm also very happy you received the recognition from Gilboy's it's very deserved. I'm glad you found out how to treat Daisy's health issues. Wonderful post David!!
Super happy Daisy is going to be fine. She's adorable. That chair oh my goodness it's absolutely beautiful, stunning and that duck fabric is so so so adorable. Great job
You took a lovely pile of kindling and made it into a proper chair! It's lovely. Always good to see our happy Daisy, hoping for the best for the sweet girl. I'm 64 and still have a little antique rocker from an aunt. My kiddo has a lovely little one my dad restored, even to redoing all the woven cane. Rest assured those rockers you did will be cherished a long time.
Wow! What an amazing job! Chairs are so difficult, and rocking chairs nearly impossible, based solely on my experience with aged chairs failing. Your patience and talent is a great gift to your cousins. George is a very lucky boy! Congratulations on the Gilboys connection/sponsorship. Lucky for us viewers as well! The shine on that finish is perfect. Thank you for another wonderful video! It’s a cork to Daisy for me. ❤
The things we do for children! We hope they appreciate it! And remember what you did for them. I had a small table, chair, and a doll bed when I was little. The chair didn't survive, but the others did. I appreciated them more thru the years. I am now 78. My great granddaughter is now playing with these. Take heart. You have done good work!
What a result 💚💛❤️ the ducks, the chair is stunning and thank you to Daisy for making Pippin sit still for a few seconds 😂 she watches Daisy with her tail wagging bless them funny little pups! Also well done on the Gilboys front, I use it on my carving so the discount will be extremely useful next time I need to order - brilliant video worth the wait 😃
That turned out really lovely and I do love the duck fabric. I had a dress when I was a child that my mother made for me that had ducks all over it. My “ducky” dress was my favorite!

What a happy looking chair! Excellent job, as usual. I know you'll get a lot of advice, but using a loose scrunchy to hold up the ears on my dogs with floppy ears ( Spaniels and Bassett Hounds) really helped with that yeasty stuff. Not tight, loosely. Big love to Daisy ❤
Absolutely stunning, amazing work. I love everything about this chair….fabric, extraordinary effort but most of all the obvious love that went into the project. Hope Daisy does well on her medication. She’s such a doll. Finally, congratulations on the Gilroy’s participation in your channel. I’m going to order something now!
Thanks so much Kathy, it certainly was a labour of love but he's worth it. Daisy is starting to show signs of improvement on this medication so fingers crossed. 😃🐶❤️
David--what an ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL JOB you did on this chair for George!!! I sure hope he appreciates all of the painstaking efforts you put into it for him! I've been watching your channel for a couple of years now, and I just want to let you know how much I respect and appreciate your craft, and your obvious recognition of quality with the Guilboy products! Thank you for this video!
What a beautiful heirloom for young George ~ So absorbing to watch. And darling Daisy, well she brings us all such joy 🤗🐶 Thank you for being the best of TH-cam !
This is a very very proud chair!!! This was a labor of love, and I hope George cherishes this piece. I do hope he is able to watch this video and while he does, he will feel the love created for him! Great job sir!
Of course, I’ll say it again, your work is impeccable! You’ve inspired me to not only refinish furniture, but to try my hand at restoration. I’ll definitely be rewatching your videos for help. 😊 I may even try to make my own videos. You’re amazing. Thank you!
Wow what a great comment. Its so great to hear that i have given you some inspiration to do your own restorations. If you do start your own TH-cam channel, let me know the name and i'll check it out 😃❤️
I'm so proud that you stuck it out and made this little rocking chair whole again! The Gilboy wax and oil is so nice. Please tell Daisy that her Auntie in the states has hypothyroidism, too! I'm also a bit overweight lol. Love and blessings to you and yours! 😊
I applaud your determination to keep going when it was just so tedious! It was worth it. I love the fabric! Well done. It was a pleasure to watch you overcome!
Your persistence paid off. It is a family treasure now and for future generations. 👍🏻 I think the duck fabric is perfect! ⭐️ The Gilboys products look interesting and worth checking out. Thank you.
Oh David, that is so lovely! All your blood, sweat and tears paid off in spades. I’m sure George and his family will treasure this chair for many years to come. Beautiful!
Good thing you had Daisy's (love Daisy) emotional support or you might have given up. Your inventive needed alterations and patience were astounding! George is so lucky to receive such a lovely piece. ❤
Absolutely stunning! Your perseverance truly paid off! It’s gorgeous- and quite possibly will start up new battles of ownership and coveting! 😆 Daisy’s tappy-taps just get me! Hope she gets to feeling well with new medication and treatment. 💖 If you are cornered to do another cousin’s chair- if they’re not too little, it would be great to get them involved with the restoration process! They could sand, and glue, and watch and learn! I’m sure they’d love it- I know I would! Again, we felt your frustration and disappointment, but you carried through it all and achieved a magnificent miracle at the end! Love this! 💖👍👏🌟🤘
When you commented that the chair looked to be handmade I wondered if it was made by someone's grandfather many years ago. I hope that it will make little ones happy for many generations to come. Absolutely beautiful!
Just beautiful. When you started, I thought you might just give up. But you persevered and did a wonderful job fixing and refinishing the wood and I just love the fabric you used on the seat - playful and not childish. Thank you for sharing your projects.
Oh David, this piece was a tremendous amount of work and a really big pain in the backside! We all felt your frustration! But just know that you are the master and it looks outstanding! Absolutely love the duck upholstery it's beautiful! George is going to be over the moon for his new chair! Fantastic job transforming this to be used for George's children 😊! I'll keep Daisy in my prayers! Soon she'll be back to good health once her medicine is right! She's such a sweet girl and she's happy all the time! Blessings to you and your family and Daisy! Awesome rocker for George! Hope you can make a video of his excitement when he gets it! Take care, have a rest after this grueling job! 😊❤
Thanks so much for your lovely comments Pam. Its so nice to hear that you enjoy my videos and the Daisy appearances. She's starting to feel much better now she's on the meds. Thanks for your continued support 😃❤️🐶
How Wonderful😍🥰George I’m sure will be uber excited with his new rockie. Aw David what a super patient guy you are. Labour of love right enough😲😲I so enjoy watching your restorations. Ohhhh and wee Daisy, give her a massive cuddle from me and a woof from my 2 puppers Roo & Barney🐶🐶🐶
Hi, I actually took it over for him today and he loves is. My cousin has just messaged me a little video of him rocking away on it ❤️. I'll give Daisy a cuddle from you, Roo and Barney 😃🐶🐶🐶❤️
What a beautiful result from your labour of Hercules! 😊 I've just had a week like yours, what can go wrong, does go wrong, but you persevered and overcame every issue, and won the race. 👍 I'm sure George will be over the moon when he sees his own special chair, with duckies too! 🦆🦆🦆💖🤗
My dad and I knocked down two small oak chairs that had laid in a field in the desert for years. There was zero finish left and the wood had weathered down to grey fuzz.. Dad who had repaired or refinished mor chairs than anyone could count anymore had me lettering and key marking all the joints so we could re assemble them They did go back together however we had to level the legs they were SO twisted They have a special charm about them and I gained a real appreciation for my dads patience and love of old furniture Thank you for your channel Dads been gone for quite a while now I really enjoy your dedication And Daisy of course is a lovely girl
Note to self--wear safety glasses when clamping wood!! 😮. So glad that you were not injured when that wood snapped! (I've had my cornea scratched and it was more painful than a C-section!!). What lucky little boys to have you as an 'uncle' (I loved the other chair too!)
You are exactly right, I never thought clamping wood could be so dangerous but then again it was my own fault for over tightening it. Lesson learned!! 🤣🤣❤️
By George this was an awesome project! I love handmade and restored items that are labors of love! Teddy and George are so lucky to have you in their lives, as is Daisy (and all your viewers). ❤ to 🐕
WOW.....absolutely beautiful. I need to find some Gilboys, it's a great finish. So glad you didn't give up on that chair though I wouldn't have blamed you if you did. I'm sure your cousin was more than pleased. My best to Daisy.
Hi Julie. If you click the link in the video description it'll take you to the Gilboys website. Lots of amazing products on there. Thanks so your continued support 😃🐶❤️
Hi David, I hope that your little George loves you back the same and more and appreciates his bespoke rocking chair in the way you and it deserve. That is such a beautiful chair, obviously made with love and plenty of labour, cheers to you and much love to little gorgeous Daisy !!!!🥰😘👍👍👍🙏
Hi Frances. I haven't given it to George yet but taking it over next week. Emily has seen it though and told me she was crying at the video. ❤️ Thanks so much for your continued support, i really appreciate it 😃❤️🐶
Just wrote a comment and lost it****. Fabulous job David. Whoever said you can’t make a silk purse from a sows ear never watched you. Thank you Daisy for teaching you. Well done sir👏👏👌👌❤
Your corners look pretty darn good to me. The wood finish is beautiful! Job very well done. I really enjoyed this video. George is a fortunate little man to have such a caring person to love him.
This is gorgeous! The fabric is so cute & will grow with him! I'd say Teddy will he fighting over George's chair now 😂 i hope you get Daisys meds sorted wothout much trouble! Great work, love your channel
With all the challenges of this chair, it has come out beautifully. Little George will be very happy 😊. Hello sweet Daisy girl. I love your work, David ❤
It certainly was Mum but he's worth it. Emily is busy this week but she's watched the video and said she was crying 🤣🤣. I'll take some pics of him when i give it to him ❤️❤️❤️
You are so patient, but the results were outstanding! I’m quite a novice at restoring furniture but I opted to use Gilboy’s Hard Wax Oil. The finish turned out beautiful and it was extremely easy to apply.
A massive shout-out to Gilboys for taking care of us & our guy at Mayfield Restorations. The chair may have tested you, but the repair lessons you just passed on to your devoted viewers are priceless. Thanks David, you outdid yourself 🙌 Oh, and the duck fabric is spot on. Pat/Yukon, Canada🍁
You have the patience of a saint. The chair came out beautifully. Love the fabrics whimsical yet mature. Give Daisy a pet and let her know she has her own fans😊
This little rocker has been completely rebuilt. What a transformation. Not only is it beautiful, but it is SAFE for George to rock himself in. I know you were very frustrated with this rocker, but a handmade piece like this deserved the extra love and attention you gave it. I'm so happy that you didn't give up on it, though I would not have blamed you. It had so many challenges. You did an awesome job! The love for your family shines as bright as the finish on the rocking chair. WELL DONE!!!
This nightmare rocker is a challenge project! But you defeated it to best it could be fixed. The problem began at its first creation, nothing can fix that….. perhaps it was a first project for one just learning. That said you have done a fabulous job with it. The wax, oh my goodness amazing, I see why you like it so much. George is a fortunate little lad..
Oh David, you have the patience of a saint!!! George is a very lucky little boy, you have given him an heirloom piece of furniture. Give Daisy a big hug from me, poor little girl she's been in the wars but is still so happy.
Wow David ive been in bits watching this restoration for George so much love has gone into this Emily and the rest of us are so proud of you it truly is a family heirloom xx
Awww thats lovely to say you're proud of me. You know i'd do anything for my family, i love you all. Can't wait to see George's face when I give it to him ❤️❤️❤️
What a beautiful rocking chair it put you through the ringer but the finish is awe inspiring I m sure George will love it ! I think you ve set yourself up to do a rocking chair for all the new babies in the family !!😁🇬🇧❤️
A great testament to your perseverance and dedication the craft. Congratulations on your link up with Gilboys, Simon knows a good restorer when he sees one!
Thats really kind of you Tim and I'm loving your channel. You should have far more views and subscribers but as we all know, TH-cam is a Fickle beast. My last 3 videos have performed worse than the previous but I've no idea why. Keep up the great work matey 😃👍👍

Warmest thoughts to you both from the west of Ireland.
Healing energy for Daisy! Hope she is back to the peak of health soon! 💖
🐶😃❤️

I love that, "A Work of Heart", brilliant 😃❤️
That turned out beautiful… The fabric is perfect for it❤❤❤. And I just love Daisy. She’s a real sweetheart.
😃🐶❤️❤️
What a lesson in patience. I am sure George and his mother will love this little rocker. I hope when George is a bit older his mother shows him this video so he can see how much love and work you put into his little treasure.

Yeah, Daisy is getting better all the time on this new medication, thanks. I loved that Duck fabric too. 😃🐶❤️
Gorgeous duck fabric! Love it - great choice :) Your perseverance paid off! So glad Daisy will be OK
Thank you! 😊🐶❤️
You took a lovely pile of kindling and made it into a proper chair! It's lovely. Always good to see our happy Daisy, hoping for the best for the sweet girl. I'm 64 and still have a little antique rocker from an aunt. My kiddo has a lovely little one my dad restored, even to redoing all the woven cane. Rest assured those rockers you did will be cherished a long time.
Thanks so much for leaving such a nice comment 😃❤️🐶
Wow! What an amazing job! Chairs are so difficult, and rocking chairs nearly impossible, based solely on my experience with aged chairs failing. Your patience and talent is a great gift to your cousins. George is a very lucky boy! Congratulations on the Gilboys connection/sponsorship. Lucky for us viewers as well! The shine on that finish is perfect. Thank you for another wonderful video! It’s a cork to Daisy for me. ❤

What a result 💚💛❤️ the ducks, the chair is stunning and thank you to Daisy for making Pippin sit still for a few seconds 😂 she watches Daisy with her tail wagging bless them funny little pups!
Also well done on the Gilboys front, I use it on my carving so the discount will be extremely useful next time I need to order - brilliant video worth the wait 😃
I love hearing that Pippin reacts to the Daisy sections, its so funny. Even Daisy watches herself on the screen as if its another dog!! Mad! 🤣🤣
Looks fantastic! Love the fabric on the seat. It was worth all the time you put into it.
Thanks so much 😃😃
Wow! Amazing restoration. The Gilboys finish added a beautiful shine to the piece. Great job!
Thanks very much 😃
That turned out really lovely and I do love the duck fabric. I had a dress when I was a child that my mother made for me that had ducks all over it. My “ducky” dress was my favorite!
I loved the ducks to and your "Ducky" dress sounds awesome 😃😃
Daisy is really a beautiful dog...is she a Springer Spaniel? She does have a lovely/playful "cheeky" disposition! Thank You for sharing her with us!
Hi, thanks for saying that about Daisy. She is an English Cocker Spaniel 😃🐶❤️

Thanks so much, I'll give that a try because she is prone to Yeast infection in one of her ears. 😃🐶❤️
Absolutely beautiful! Loved the fabric x
Thanks Amanda 😃🐶❤️
Absolutely stunning, amazing work. I love everything about this chair….fabric, extraordinary effort but most of all the obvious love that went into the project.

I appreciate that, thanks so much 😃😃
I'm so proud that you stuck it out and made this little rocking chair whole again! The Gilboy wax and oil is so nice. Please tell Daisy that her Auntie in the states has hypothyroidism, too! I'm also a bit overweight lol. Love and blessings to you and yours! 😊

What a FANTASTIC little rocker! Im sure George and his mum will love this special chair very much! You did a great job, thank you!❤❤

I think the duck fabric is perfect! ⭐️
The Gilboys products look interesting and worth checking out. Thank you.
Thanks so much. The Gilboys stuff is amazing 😃❤️
Oh David, that is so lovely! All your blood, sweat and tears paid off in spades. I’m sure George and his family will treasure this chair for many years to come. Beautiful!
Thanks very much Marcia 😃❤️
Good thing you had Daisy's (love Daisy) emotional support or you might have given up. Your inventive needed alterations and patience were astounding! George is so lucky to receive such a lovely piece. ❤
I'm at my most patient when I'm working with wood. There's just something soothing to me when I'm repairing or just touching a piece of wood
Me too, although this tested that patience 🤣🤣
Your patience is inspiring!
Thats very kind, thanks 😃😃
Absolutely stunning! Your perseverance truly paid off! It’s gorgeous- and quite possibly will start up new battles of ownership and coveting! 😆 Daisy’s tappy-taps just get me! Hope she gets to feeling well with new medication and treatment. 💖 If you are cornered to do another cousin’s chair- if they’re not too little, it would be great to get them involved with the restoration process! They could sand, and glue, and watch and learn! I’m sure they’d love it- I know I would! Again, we felt your frustration and disappointment, but you carried through it all and achieved a magnificent miracle at the end! Love this! 💖👍👏🌟🤘
You've turned that pile of kindling into a delightful family heirloom!
It almost got used as kindling!!🤣🤣
When you commented that the chair looked to be handmade I wondered if it was made by someone's grandfather many years ago. I hope that it will make little ones happy for many generations to come. Absolutely beautiful!
It could well have been made as a one off piece. I'm glad i saved it from being thrown away and now it'll be an heirloom 😃😃
Just another lovely job!
Thanks 😃😃
Just beautiful. When you started, I thought you might just give up. But you persevered and did a wonderful job fixing and refinishing the wood and I just love the fabric you used on the seat - playful and not childish. Thank you for sharing your projects.

Thanks so much for your lovely comments Pam. Its so nice to hear that you enjoy my videos and the Daisy appearances. She's starting to feel much better now she's on the meds. Thanks for your continued support 😃❤️🐶
St. David & the dragon. You slayed that one, yet somehow George is rewarded. What a battle!!
It certainly was a battle 😂😂😂👍
Aah David what a work of art. I would not have had the patience dedication and skill to achieve the results that you did. This is another masterpiece.
Thats really kind of you, thanks so much 😃😃
A lesson in patience. Wonderful work and beautiful finished product! Love the Gilboy promo.
Thanks very much 😃😃
How Wonderful😍🥰George I’m sure will be uber excited with his new rockie. Aw David what a super patient guy you are. Labour of love right enough😲😲I so enjoy watching your restorations. Ohhhh and wee Daisy, give her a massive cuddle from me and a woof from my 2 puppers Roo & Barney🐶🐶🐶

Thats really kind of you, thanks so much 😃🐶❤️
What a beautiful result from your labour of Hercules! 😊
I've just had a week like yours, what can go wrong, does go wrong, but you persevered and overcame every issue, and won the race. 👍
I'm sure George will be over the moon when he sees his own special chair, with duckies too! 🦆🦆🦆💖🤗
Thanks so much. We all get those weeks don't we, things can only get better 😃🐶❤️
My dad and I knocked down two small oak chairs that had laid in a field in the desert for years. There was zero finish left and the wood had weathered down to grey fuzz..
Dad who had repaired or refinished mor chairs than anyone could count anymore had me lettering and key marking all the joints so we could re assemble them
They did go back together however we had to level the legs they were SO twisted
They have a special charm about them and I gained a real appreciation for my dads patience and love of old furniture
Thank you for your channel
Dads been gone for quite a while now
I really enjoy your dedication
And Daisy of course is a lovely girl
Thanks so much for sharing your lovely memories of your Dad. The Oak chairs sound amazing but I bet they were a lot of work. 😃❤️
Note to self--wear safety glasses when clamping wood!! 😮. So glad that you were not injured when that wood snapped! (I've had my cornea scratched and it was more painful than a C-section!!). What lucky little boys to have you as an 'uncle' (I loved the other chair too!)
You are exactly right, I never thought clamping wood could be so dangerous but then again it was my own fault for over tightening it. Lesson learned!! 🤣🤣❤️
This chair was not perfect when it was new. You did an amazing job.
Thanks Rita 😃
By George this was an awesome project! I love handmade and restored items that are labors of love! Teddy and George are so lucky to have you in their lives, as is Daisy (and all your viewers). ❤ to 🐕
What a lovely comment, thanks so much for your kind words ❤️❤️
Well, once again you hit another out of the park!!! Your work is perfection🥰
Thats really nice of you to say, thanks so much 😃😃
Glad you didn’t give up and Daisy is adorable
Thanks very much 😃😃🐶👍
WOW.....absolutely beautiful. I need to find some Gilboys, it's a great finish. So glad you didn't give up on that chair though I wouldn't have blamed you if you did. I'm sure your cousin was more than pleased. My best to Daisy.
Hi Julie. If you click the link in the video description it'll take you to the Gilboys website. Lots of amazing products on there. Thanks so your continued support 😃🐶❤️
Hi David, I hope that your little George loves you back the same and more and appreciates his bespoke rocking chair in the way you and it deserve. That is such a beautiful chair, obviously made with love and plenty of labour, cheers to you and much love to little gorgeous Daisy !!!!🥰😘👍👍👍🙏
Hi Frances. I haven't given it to George yet but taking it over next week. Emily has seen it though and told me she was crying at the video. ❤️ Thanks so much for your continued support, i really appreciate it 😃❤️🐶
Just wrote a comment and lost it****. Fabulous job David. Whoever said you can’t make a silk purse from a sows ear never watched you. Thank you Daisy for teaching you. Well done sir👏👏👌👌❤
Poor, sad chair remade with love for a new generation of rockers. What a beautiful job you’ve done. Thank you.
Thanks so much ❤️
Oh my goodness! A lot of work!! The end result is fantastic. I love the fabric. 🤞❤️🐕
Thanks so much 😃❤️
I cannot believe you figured that out!!! Your patience is astounding 😊
😊 thank you. I very nearly gave up but I'm glad i persevered ❤️
Oh, and the fabric is fabulous 😊

Your corners look pretty darn good to me. The wood finish is beautiful! Job very well done. I really enjoyed this video. George is a fortunate little man to have such a caring person to love him.
Thats lovely of you to say Linda. Thanks so much for your support 😃❤️
This is gorgeous! The fabric is so cute & will grow with him! I'd say Teddy will he fighting over George's chair now 😂 i hope you get Daisys meds sorted wothout much trouble! Great work, love your channel
Thats really kind of you, thanks so much. Daisy is starting to feel much better thanks. 😃🐶❤️
With all the challenges of this chair, it has come out beautifully. Little George will be very happy 😊. Hello sweet Daisy girl. I love your work, David ❤
Thanks so much Myra 😃🐶❤️
Love the fabric makes the chair pop!
Thanks, I love ducks 😃🦆❤️
Adorable fabric for the seat !!
thanks 😃
I can’t wait to see how George reacts when you take it him. This was definitely a labour of love xx
It certainly was Mum but he's worth it. Emily is busy this week but she's watched the video and said she was crying 🤣🤣. I'll take some pics of him when i give it to him ❤️❤️❤️
Now I want to design and build a chair that is thin AF! ❤
It was rather delicate 🤣🤣👍❤️
You are so patient, but the results were outstanding! I’m quite a novice at restoring furniture but I opted to use Gilboy’s Hard Wax Oil. The finish turned out beautiful and it was extremely easy to apply.
Thanks so much. I agree with you about the Gilboys products, very simple but with great results 😃😃
I love the Duck Fabric! ❤
Thanks very much, I really liked it to ❤️
You, sir, are brilliant in your restoration work!! Definitely like the ducks-they give the chair a childlike whimsy!!
Thats really kind of you, thanks very much 😃😃
A massive shout-out to Gilboys for taking care of us & our guy at Mayfield Restorations. The chair may have tested you, but the repair lessons you just passed on to your devoted viewers are priceless. Thanks David, you outdid yourself 🙌
Oh, and the duck fabric is spot on. Pat/Yukon, Canada🍁
Its an honour to be working with Gilboys. Simon is a Master Restorer!! So pleased you enjoyed the video and thanks for your continued support 😃❤️
You have the patience of a saint. The chair came out beautifully. Love the fabrics whimsical yet mature. Give Daisy a pet and let her know she has her own fans😊
This certainly tested that patience 🤣 Daisy is starting to get much better, I've told her all her fans are wishing her well 🤣❤️🐶
What a wonderful lifetime gift for George!
😃❤️
David, this one tested your patience! But, you made it through. EXCELLENT WORK as usual ❤🤩
It certainly did 🤣😃🐶❤️
I’m amazed at your eye for detail…Love the duck print! Just perfect!
Thats nice of you to say, thanks very much 😃😃
Great job, fantastic restoration, take great care of Daisy, I'm a fan of her, greetings from the middle of the world Quito Ecuador 🌎
Thanks so much Silvia. Daisy is being looked after as I'm sure you can imagine, she means the world to us. 😃🐶❤️
Beautifully done. You’re very talented.
You're very kind, thanks so much 😃
This little rocker has been completely rebuilt. What a transformation. Not only is it beautiful, but it is SAFE for George to rock himself in. I know you were very frustrated with this rocker, but a handmade piece like this deserved the extra love and attention you gave it. I'm so happy that you didn't give up on it, though I would not have blamed you. It had so many challenges. You did an awesome job! The love for your family shines as bright as the finish on the rocking chair. WELL DONE!!!
What a lovely comment, thanks so much Karen 😀🐶❤️❤️
This nightmare rocker is a challenge project! But you defeated it to best it could be fixed. The problem began at its first creation, nothing can fix that….. perhaps it was a first project for one just learning. That said you have done a fabulous job with it. The wax, oh my goodness amazing, I see why you like it so much. George is a fortunate little lad..
Thanks so much Cathie. I was really pleased how it eventually turned out 😃❤️
Wow!! ❤
😃❤️
Oh David, you have the patience of a saint!!! George is a very lucky little boy, you have given him an heirloom piece of furniture. Give Daisy a big hug from me, poor little girl she's been in the wars but is still so happy.
Thanks Linda, I'll Daisy a big hug from you 😃🐶❤️❤️
Wow, most people would have given up. This is beautiful it was a labour of love ❤️ you are so clever 😮
Very kind of you, thanks so much 😃😃
This was an adventure! I loved watching every bit of this. So well done. I have that same WD-40 sign!! Cheers mate 🥃
Hi Matt, thanks very much for persevering through this Lonnnnng video. 🤣 Cheers Buddy 🥃

A great testament to your perseverance and dedication the craft. Congratulations on your link up with Gilboys, Simon knows a good restorer when he sees one!
Thats really kind of you Tim and I'm loving your channel. You should have far more views and subscribers but as we all know, TH-cam is a Fickle beast. My last 3 videos have performed worse than the previous but I've no idea why. Keep up the great work matey 😃👍👍
