You are a true PROFESSIONAL, man! I appreciate all your knowledge and your pride of work. Was that last coat over the orange paint, where it almost looked white again, a UV coating of some sort? I have this exact chair, a Craigslist buy. I want to perk it up some for my own use, but thankfully it's not in as rough of shape... Because I have no where near your know-how or equipment. lol But this was inspiring to watch and motivating to do as good of a job as I can. Thanks ! (You wouldn't happen to know the year or brand of this chair?)
Thank you! The white powder is a clear coat. It protects against UV. Here's a great resource for these chairs. There's also a Facebook group that is very helpful in identifying what you have. www.vintagemetalchairs.com/?fbclid=IwY2xjawE5sGFleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHVsAQJQVeO22PXLEehUiPN7yRb0O51WzQw0CLRP8TVxQkR_be1e8wvvucQ_aem_pq09XVbVKbJoTGjP-E28xw
Love the video! You put quite a bit of work into that chair. Are you willing to share what the final price was to your customer? Also, have you ever coated the fasteners to color match the other parts?
Thanks! Most of the restoration work we do is for folks who have pieces with sentimental value. They are the ones willing to pay for the work required to restore it. We use all stainless steel hardware, so we've never had to coat it. I personally like the look of the unfinished hardware, so that is just what I do.
Excellent step by step. What MIG wire and settings are you using for your tack welds? I’ve got an identical Arvin rocker as well as some Bunting chairs of my own that I’m restoring. Thanks.
Thanks! The wire is whatever Vulcan brand Harbor Freight sells. My settings are kind of difficult to translate as it is an Eastwood Co. welder, and it's just letters and numbers for voltage and feed speed. But obviously, it's pretty low and slow.
Its a great oven. I've had it over 10 years. It was a small production run made by a guy who was an engineer who designed and sold them online. He no longer makes them, unfortunately.
There's a circulation fan at the top that pulls the air up, then pushes it down inside the sidewalls, across the elements, and back up through the perforated plate.
Nice work !!
amazing ! keep these videos coming!
Thanks!
Now, that’s the way to restore furniture…!
Better than new!!
Absolutely!
Noice!
To prevent the rockers from getting scaped up I rip some white pex tubing and snap it on there to protect them.
Excellent idea!
mee tooooo!

What brand is that blue oven? Looks like a nice unit.

@@CrosslincBizis it a convection with a circulating fan, or is there just the elements below that perforated bottom plate?
