    I’m a new subscriber and female upholsterer, the work is hard on my hands. I don’t have your skill set I try everyday to learn something new about the old ways. My grandfather was a master upholsterer. 😂Your work is beautiful and the old ways and old masters were true craftsmen. I look forward to more of your videos.

    It's absolutely beautiful. This is what happens when an object is put into the hands of someone who knows what she is doing. Kudos.

    Amazing! Simply beautiful! Such skill and dedication to perfection. I see many similar chairs in thrift stores, which desperately need re-upholstering and feel sad that I don't have the skill or patience or time at the moment to restore them. Thank you for showing us what it takes to restore one of these pieces, and not making it seem like one waves a magic wand and poof it's done.

    Wow! Dedication, skill, meticulous work!!! And you look so young!!! You certainly mastered your learning classes and turned out from apprentice to professional! Well spent years learning! And if I may add, you're not working in a workshop which makes me admire you even more!!

    Beautiful work! I’m a seamstress so understand working with your hands. I am wondering how much hand lotion you have to use?!

    • @cleonnns
      @cleonnns  2 дня назад +1

      Haha I indeed needed to take care of my hands more than I used to. The crin (soft kind of hay) made my hands really soft though!

  • @jilliedillie
    @jilliedillie 2 дня назад

    Amazing amount of meticulous attention to perfection. Was that regular craft hot glue at the end? Won’t that harden and separate?

    • @cleonnns
      @cleonnns  2 дня назад +1

      Thank you so much! And yes I did use regular hot glue. They used it at upholstery school, so I believe it’s good enough!

    • @sunfun3874
      @sunfun3874 18 часов назад

      Frankly speaking, this tape and glue was most unpleasant surprise at the end of magnificent job... why not use the metallic nails that you took off?!

  • @pereinarolsson3928
    @pereinarolsson3928 2 дня назад

    I have done this once many years ago - I will never do it again - this christmas I renovated and painted a pair of brown fleemarket chairs - the result was good. But I have to keep them. It takes so much time that if you want to get paid for your work - they would cost a fortune. I have found out after painting for many years that I have stopped working and exhibiting for free. I´d rather keep my paintings.

    • @cleonnns
      @cleonnns  2 дня назад +1

      I totally agree. I’ve got another day job so I can do this pure for fun and practice. I gave this chair to my parents in law, they were so grateful, it was a true pleasure to make this for them ☺️

    • @pereinarolsson3928
      @pereinarolsson3928 День назад

      You are a wise woman. Yes it is such a pleasure to do things with your hands and a true artist can not abstain from that. I wrote the comment partly to remind us all "artists" of the value of our work. It seems like you have understood - it took me 67 years😂.

    Wat een leuke video. Is dit je vak of ben je heel ervaren en doe je dit als hobby? Super leuk en relaxed. En gebruik je het stoeltje inmiddels zelf?

    • @cleonnns
      @cleonnns  6 дней назад +2

      Hobby! Ik heb er slechts 1,5 jaar opleiding opzitten. En het stoeltje is zeker in gebruik ☺️

    Considered reupholstering a chair of my own. But I'm too far removed from this level of craftsmanship. Think I'll pass.

  • @catherinefauquenot3720
    @catherinefauquenot3720 2 дня назад +1

    Not a Louis XVI armchair. More of a Louis XV style. Nice job anyway.
