This is why I love TH-cam! Thanks for making quality and easy to follow video. Gifted a cool chair and debating to remove the damage wick all together or replace it to look original.
Great job. You explained a complex procedure and made it look doable. (I think I would have had the seat upholstered in leather, myself, because the redo made it look way classier than vinyl or naugahyde. But this is a very helpful video and the chair looks great.
Technically it’s not wicker- it’s cane. Lots of small businesses sell cane webbing - hh perkins, country seat, cane & basket, frank supply, the caning shop. To help remove old cane a solvent is much more user friendly than dry removal and a yoga mat will help keep the panel from sliding all over the place. Be careful when chiseling toward yourself. Agreed with chisel vs utility knife. Overall great job for not having done it before - especially with the spline. Impressive restoration.
Do you not have to wear safety googles or gloves while working with these tools? I am grateful for your video. I have some old chairs I need to fix and video very helpful.
Since it was my first time, it probably took 2 hours. Here is a couple links to the parts I bought: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UXY8DP2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1 www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019A0HQJI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Hi there! Just wondering, do you need to use wood stripper first to strip off an old varnish or I can just go straight into sanding? Great job, you've just inspired me out of my creative funk!
I would try to avoid using stripper. Just start with sanding. You can always start with a coarser grit paper and work your way down to a finer grit. If you are going to use restain you might not have to sand it too much. Stay creative! Tom
@@AlleyPicked I was planning on that initially! Thanks for the heads up, Tom! Appreciate the advice. As for the rattan webbing, after soaking it in the water, do I have to wait till it's dry? Is it also okay to apply it when it's still wet?
@@nzcmn Hi. After soaking the rattan, you do not want to wait until it's dry. The whole point of soaking it is so that it's more flexible and not brittle while working it into the gap. So, you absolutely want to work with it before it dries out. Good Luck!

Beautiful and you make it look easy. I'm picking up am antique wicker baby stroller and it needs TLC no holes though just dirty and miscolored
Wicker isn`t my cup of tea but you made it look as if it were a store room piece. Excellent job. Thank you for sharing ( Stay Safe ) .
Thank you!

I gotta say, eventhough I hate wicker, it looks great. You did a fantastic job.
Thank You.

Tom, that chair looks beautiful. What a great job you did. The choice to use the shellac was a good one. Stay safe.
Thank you!
Thanks for the great tutorial
Lovely neat work Tom. That join in the beading is especially impressive. Cheers mate.
Thank you exactly what I needed to know. Good job 🇬🇧👌
Parabéns pelo serviço muito bem feito. Brasil
SUPER useful! thanks
Me and my 6 year old daughter enjoy your videos. She likes when you do your logo.
That's very kind of you. If you care to pass along her name I can give her a shout out in my next video. Tom

@@coachrooney3145 Wonderful - I'll try to work it in for next Sunday's video. Probably at the end. :-)
I just remembered I have a Veterans day special next Sunday already finished. It'll be in 2 weeks.
Great job! I agree the shellac was a good choice. I need to do the same with my chair. Thanks for showing me how!
Great job
I generally cringe when I watch novice videos for caning but I’d recommend this one for sure
Thanks for the feedback & tips. I'll consider renaming the video :-)
Great job!
Thanks!

Do you not have to wear safety googles or gloves while working with these tools? I am grateful for your video. I have some old chairs I need to fix and video very helpful.
You can wear them if you feel more comfortable. I didn't.
Hi. Excellent job! How much time did it take to repair the cane back alone? And do you have a link for the cane webbing on Amazon?
