Title: Amazing restoration of a broken rocking chair
Вы как врач- реаниматолог. Возвращаете вещи с " того света." И делаете это так деликатно, так аккуратно. Приятно смотреть. Великолепная работа. Браво!!! 👏🏻
Your work is beyond impressive. I love that you only replace what needs replacing on each and every piece, but you still manage to make each project look like a masterpiece.
You gave her back her dignity. Beautiful workmanship, beautiful chair.
I would have thought this chair good for the rubbish bin, but you gave it a new life. Wonderful!
This almost feels like watching a surgeon save a life. This was dangerously close to firewood. Absolutely incredible job!
TIENE TODA LA RAZON DE MUNDO!!!!! PARECÍA UN QUIRÓFANO DE TRAUMATOLOGÍA. HA PUESTO TANTAS " SARGENTAS " ( EL INSTUMENTO QUE MANTIENE SUJETO LOS CEMPALMES ), HA HECHO UNA VERDADERA CIRUGÍA ORTOPÉDICA A LA MECEDORA !!!!!
Such a challenge but oh the final result…is so beautiful 😊
I know your work is difficult, highly-skilled artisanship, but I find your videos so soothing to watch. It's wonderful to see beautiful wood restored and given more life.

I totally resonate to what you said as well.... This is waaaaay better than watching pimples popping
You do such a great job!
That looks like a really old chair maybe more than 100 years. It somehow survived the weather.
Same, utterly mesmerising to watch and so satisfying to see the end result of such amazing craftsmanship.
It looks so shiny and smooth! I'm imagining a little old Swedish grandma sitting in it on a cold night by the fire.
It is so good to see people who are capable of so many skills who can repair/renovate these old treasure, I thought these skills were dying out
This is so much more than a restoration! Your ability to deconstruct a piece, craft new parts and then reassemble, is the finest craftsmanship. The end result of that rocker is stunning!
Кресло великолепное!!! Чувствуется его история и мастерство изготовителя и реставратора!
💯
Какая Красота!
Браво!
Спасибо людям которые возвращают прекрасным творениям рук человеческих!
Вторую жизнь.....
I love it that you finish your projects the right way with many layers of natural shellac, not one heavy coat of something chemical. Shellacking looks like nicely finished wood, synthetic sealer looks like plastic. Lovely work, indeed!
That looks like a new chair. Thank you Great job.
Третий раз смотрю это видео. Что мне нравится в ваших работах, так это тщательность! Ни один мастер на ютюбе не выполняет работу так качественно, что каждая мелкая щелка заделывается раствором и шлифуется. Не оставляется без внимания ни одно отверстие от старого гвоздика. Вы всё тщательно прорабатываете своими золотыми руками. Браво! 🎉
If you listen carefully, you can almost hear that beautiful old chair sigh with relief. Great work!
I think I heard it!
Сделаго слабо Местами непрофесмионально Сядь и покажи рнзультат Ведь на нем когда то люди сидели
@@ОлегЛесной-ж3о - Anyone who buys a rocking chair uses it as decoration. They put blankets on it. Ask an American women, it’s decor. If it’s all busted up they put potted plants on it. They don’t sit on those.
Yes
@@ОлегЛесной-ж3о I disagree my friend.
It was a great restoration and I didn't see any weakness.
I would like to know what weakness you think there is please?
Outstanding!!! What a gorgeous rocker!! I’m so glad you restored it to it’s original glory! It breaks my heart at the trend here on TH-cam where some people paint these antiques some crazy color. I’m so glad there’s people like you that can truly bring things back to life.
Дело мастера боится!)))
Truly amazing , no doubt!
Its original glory. It’s = it is.
The best, BY FAR, restoration of anything I've ever seen! Truly incredible! And so calming and relaxing. Thank you.
You are an artist in more ways than one. The black paint hid the new wood and repairs, but does not detract from the great job you did. You did not skimp from knowing it would be hidden. Fantastic job!
Such an elegant chair. You don't see this kind of elegance in furniture any more. Great project and very well done!
As a Scandinavian myself, it's so nice to see other taking care of treasures like that. My Swedish fellows was amazed by your work.
Получила невероятное удовольствие от просмотра этого видео! И как же приятно смотреть без музыки, просто звуки рабочего процесса! Кресло получилось потрясающее!
I agree!
🎻⛔💯
Тоже самые ощущения,как медитация,абсолютный покой в душе.
It's amazing how you took this abandoned rocker and turned it into a masterpiece. While I can't do this work, it's fascinating to watch what a master craftsman can do. Keep it up!
I think you could Karen, just start with basic furniture and work your way up.
Not impressed. Poor joint work. Trusting glue to hold where clearly something more is needed. Flat sanding directly across the turned spindles sands the carved portions flat. Losing details. Poor quality pin-striping. Not impressed.. just because it’s shiny does not means it’s “master craftsman” quality.
@@ericl2851 Well Eric,
How about you put your craftsmanship on the line and post it to TH-cam, so we can critique it for you since you are the expert?
I'm speechless. This is amazing transformation! Oh man, you should be payed in gold.
Благороднейшие дело- спасать такую красоту! Спасибо! На это можно смотреть бесконечно!
During these troubling times, it's such a relief to see a craftsmen spending such dedication to restoring this beautiful old rocker. Such respect for the wood and the person who first built it. Thank you for bringing us back to a world where we honor our craft and Natures offerings in wood.
It's so amazing the love and respect for the piece and the artisan that originally created the work.
wow that's really deep
Yahoo sista
I think of myself as a beautiful old rocker too,,,,,,, I wonder if he could do some restoration on me.?.?. I mean after 50 gravity sets in 🤷🏻♀️🤣🤣🤣
Yes! Destruction is so easy and so quick and we see so much of it these days, it’s heartbreaking. To see someone restore something so beautiful and expertly crafted is, to me, really moving actually.
I love ❤ the way you bring this rocking chair back to life ; it's you can almost see a mother rocking her baby. There are not enough words to describe the beautiful care you put into your work
Gluing jigs: genius! The Thonet joint was very interesting and the final result was, of course, stunning. Thank you!
Not gonna lie. When I saw "gluing jigs" I looked to the bottom of your post to translate it. 🤣
Thank you for taking the time to care for this older broken rocker. People are too quick to throw out old things and buy cheap replacements. These while maybe not hugely expensive, are a part of our history.
I like that this is an actual restoration channel and not a sand it until it's new channel or a paint it channel.
You do fine work and you do it right. I am in my late 70's , still repairing old furniture and still learning new things by watching your channel. 👍
The restorers skillful restoration is mind-blowing. It’s a piece of art alone from what most would see as broken trash. Beautiful work sir.
I am very impressed by the meticulous restoration which you created! The lengths to which you went to create an impeccable restoration of this antique chair are remarkable. It reminds me of the cliche from a revered instructor in my past who used to say “Always choose the harder right versus the easier wrong when striving for perfection!” This chair is a sterling example!
I've rewatched most of your videos at least three things now. There's something so peaceful and satisfying about the beautiful work
What a transformation!! From junk to treasure. You are wizard!!!!
I saved two rocking chairs from the land fill this year. Mine were no where near as fabulous as this one is.
As always I'm amazed at your restoration work.
Beautiful restoration! You not only have to be a mater woodworker but a historian, too! I love watching your videos. Thanks for sharing!
Another brilliant transformation! Thanks for sharing it with us.
Еще одно блестящее преображение! Спасибо, что поделились им с нами.
Have not watched it yet. Expecting this to be emotional. Beautiful finish.
Нелёгкий труд! Результат потрясающий.
Вы - настоящий мастер.
Your precision and attention to detail are amazing. Most people would have thought that this chair was only fit for fire wood but your loving care has returned it to its former beauty. It’s so satisfying to watch. Thank you
Such respect for an old comfotable rocking chair ready for the porch or by the fire. Thank you.
She’s such a beauty - those lines! You simply outdid yourself with this! Love the close ups too of your amazing restorations as well!
Браво мастеру! Золотые руки! Просто шикарная , точная работа!
Ahti!...you've done it again and surpassed yourself...I am imagining this glorious piece rocking gently on a stoop in Savannah Ga, occupied by an elderly Southern Gent in a white linen suit smoking a cheroot and watching the sun go down...thank you for making my Thursday tick very nicely...dgp/uk
More beautifull than my words can express. My favorite restoration of yours.🌻
Absolutely beautiful. It's an antique, a statement piece, and art all in one. I just love seeing old furniture restored and treasured. It's a part of history. 🖤
Превосходно, очень аккуратная и кропотливая работа. Смотрела затаив дыхание, золотые руки.
Fantastic work. Love the color choice
That went from a wreck to a sleek, smooth rocking, rocking chair. Well done!!!
Нет....ну слов нет! Одни восклицательные знаки! Фантастика! Мастер - золотые руки! Слава Мастеру!
Отличная работа!!! Постоянно смотрю Ваши видео и восхищаюсь работой мастера. Спасибо.
It is such a joy to see when a really skilled carpenter works. Fantastic job!!!
Best Regards / Peter, artist living in Sweden, Europe
15:05 to 15:34 shows your true love of wood. you are careful with every single piece of the chair, and that shows that your work will last another 100+ years. thank you for this wonderful video of another perfect restoration.
My goodness!! Absolutely gorgeous. Your skills are incredible, sir. The rocker is , by far, the best I have seen you do.
That is the most beautiful restoration of a rocker I’ve seen. Your work is exquisite. I’m just curious how many hours you spent on this on piece? I love watching you bring furniture back to life. 💕💫💫💫
What a wonderful restoration! This chair looks brand new! So pretty!
Ahti, that chair is simply gorgeous! Thank you for bringing it back to life for someone whom I’m sure will cherish it for as long as they live! God bless you and your family! 🇨🇦🙏🏼🙏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
It is terrific the only sounds are the tools. No vocals makes it soothing. Thank you for that!
Absolutely beautiful
I've come to the conclusion that the most important purchase in furniture restoration is a huge number and sizes of clamps. Everything else can be worked around.
Ech...and I cannot even cut straight with a saw... beautiful piece of work :)
Everything you restore becomes a "thing of beauty." Your patience, meticulous attention to detail and incredible knowledge of products needed and used never ceases to amaze. Incredibly fascinating watching you work then see the final result... PERFECTION❕
My mouth was open by the end of the video! Absolutely Beautiful!!!
The craftsmanship is impeccable and it's a joy to watch a master at his job. Tyvm for sharing
A fabulous job! Hard to believe that beautiful piece you made was such an old wreck!! I was fascinated by the creative use of clamps in this situation😊
Absolutely beautiful work. The rocking chair is stunning. I love that you stayed true to the history of the piece when refinishing it.
You are nothing short of amazing! I do hope there is someone you’re mentoring to carry on this gift you have. You remind me of my sister and brother-in-law. They had a business called Antique Workshop for many years. They had the love that you show in your work to take trash back to its original treasured piece. They did amazing work like you! Your attention to the final details is where you exceed. I subscribed to your channel a while back and love to watch and in a way to reconnect to their memory! Thank you!!
I can’t believe it. At first I thought that the rocker was a hunk of junk and you were wasting your time! But by the time you were done I was eating my words! It turned out GORGEOUS! The dimensions and the lines of the rocker really are beautiful and I’m glad you were able to see that when you chose to work on it. Whoever got that rocker is a very lucky person!
Steaming that rocker was ingenious! You have more skills than I have ever seen. Fantastic!
These are so enthralling to watch! The mastery of the work blows my mind. Seeing such beautiful pieces restored makes me so happy. 😁 beautiful job!
You did a great job; *this chair really rocks* now. Well done and *God bless.*
Beautiful restoration! I kept thinking about restoring my mom's early 1800's black painted child rocker. Very much like this one, but smaller. I was 11 years old at the time. Turned out pretty good, but would have been better if I'd had your video back then. Bravo, Maestro!
The transformation 😍 is absolutely amazing. Without the before and after photos it's easy to believe it's not the same Rocker! ❤❤❤
I'm amazed at the level of workmanship in this video and the countless others I have watched! You're a true master of you're trade 💯💪
The end result was beyond belief you are truly an amazing artist.
Jaw dropping....and your clamping is a work of art in itself! Just wow. Always so thrilled to see a new video from you and this one does not disappoint!
What a magnificent transformation! I’m glad you showed how to paint it and then use black shellac. I’m going to use that technique to restore an antique I have. It’s fun to watch you and I’m learning and being inspired by your work and professionalism. Thanks from Portland, Oregon, USA.
Thank you for filling us in about some of your life sir, your family and teacher from the past must be very proud of you. And what i like about you is that you seem to be a very tidy human bean sir. I watch other videos on woodwork and what you do, but their never neat and tidy as you mr AT. 👍🎓
Уважаю вас за то, что сохраняете. Я тоже нахожу старые вещи и восстанавливаю их!!!
What a stunning transformation! Absolutely incredible. Thank you so much for sharing 👍👍👍
You, sir, are so incredibly talented. Gorgeous restoration.
This is amazing he is really an artist.
As a woodworker myself, your craftsmanship is a joy to behold and gives me instruction on some of my own repairs i need to make!thanks! Ialso like your dust collection system!
Thanks! When I planned my workshop I wanted really complicated system but iventually I ended up with many small vacuums, because they start faster than the one big dust collector.
Es todo un placer ver como restaurar,el resultado es perfecto. Durará unos cuantos años más.
Saludos desde ANDALUCÍA, ESPAÑA ❤❤
Wow man, the level of expertise and professionalism (you've done this with) is just mind-blowing. Amazing craftsmanship demonstrated. Absolutely loved it. 😍👏
Mereces diez millones de likes maestro!! Con sabiduría se hacen cosas maravillosas. Dios te premió.
I am literally flabbergasted at how gorgeous this chair ended up. WOW!!!
At first I couldn’t believe you painted that chair black. Until I saw the end result. Beautiful restoration and very inspiring!
Now this was a real restoration. Fabulous job. I would buy that chair, it's gorgeous.
(04/Sep/22) Que alegría, satisfacción y regocijo, me provoca el contatar que haya personas con tanto talento que son verdaderos artistas, esto es lo que nos ha demostrado con esta restauración la persona que hizo un extraordinario trabajo. Mis felicitaciones señor y también un fuerte abrazo.
Thank you so much for sharing your passion ... this rocking chair is “smiling “ at you.🥰
Невероятно. С трудом верил тому что видел. Высочайшее мастерство!
I truly love watching your videos. You bring a lot of antiques back to how they should look.
Your level of professionalism and skill is cut above rest!!!
Keep it up you are so inspiring!!!!!!
Sem,palavras , que trabalho maguinifico. Lindo demais
What a stunning restoration! Truly a master craftsman at work ! Kudos to you for the work you do !👍👍👊👏👏
I would just like to say, your work is absolutely amazing, the time you take in restoring these grand old items to their former glory is simply unbelievable. I love doing work on pieces as well ,however my skill level is nowhere near to your level of restoration nor do I have the many tools you have displayed but I have learned so many things just from watching your videos that I feel will help me with the tools I have ....so please continue the excellent work. It is an inspiration!!
Yes, I agree, it is an inspiration watching such programmes. Where did the inspiration go, so we stopped and bought new . Not on. Oxford has many an organic centre, well HH h ft
You made what would be a throw away rocker into a beautiful rocker! I love this beauty.
Loved that joint that you used to repair the broken bottom rocker. I'm always impressed by the amount of strength that wood glue has when given enough surface to bond on. I thought that you may go with a scarf joint of some kind but whatever that one is called looks like it did the trick.
Thanks again for the extremely entertaining and satisfying content.
