What I LOVE BEST about your videos, besides the extraordinary work, is that you don’t talk over everything you do. As viewers, we can see it, and your typed messages perfectly explain the finer details. In a world filled with so many people talking, this is such a relief. Thank you.
@@SiddiGorsky-xc7ubIf you check out @Baumgartner Restoration, he does Art Restoration, you’ll see hide glue is something restorers can ‘step back’ and ‘unglue’ so to speak, with various solvents and heat. It’s often used as a bond between materials, like canvas to wood. PVA is a bonding glue, which when used on wood + wood, it’s hoped it won’t break or come apart (not generally reversible). ❤
I agree me too! It’s very smart and pedagogical to skip talk and instead put text. I also appreciate since that means a lot of extra work for the video editing. Those AT videos create a real school!
This gentleman is not merely a restorer. He is a master craftsman. You can tell a lot by a craft person’s workshop and his is as immaculate as he himself is.
I love how you restore things by taking the time to actually replace material where it's been broken, eaten away or otherwise damaged. So many other "restoration" videos "restore" pieces by making the end result nothing like the original piece assuming because they don't want to invest the time or possess the skill to do so. I've picked up so many incredibly useful tips and tricks watching your videos.
Насколько же надо любить свою работу, чтобы так бережно и с уважением относиться к прекрасным работам прошлого,восстанавливая и возвращая их к новой жизни. Ведь они создавались мастерами-краснодеревщиками, которые вложили свой труд и квалификацию в то, что чудом дошло до нашего времени. Спасибо маэстро за ваш труд. 👍👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯💯💥💥💥
Your restoration process is wonderful. I love how you let your work speak and not the other way around. I love learning from you. Thank you for all you do.
From your homemade angled clamping wooden pieces to your patient carving and sanding to the understanding of structure and period finishes, you are my favorite restoration and refinishing channel. I find it very peaceful and calming watching you work. Thank you. ❤
Золотые руки мастера! Вспоминаю деда - краснодеревщика, которого запомнила моментами в 3-4 года. Такого мастерства я давно не видела, практически ювелирная работа! Такое точное исполнение сейчас делают редко. Браво! Срочно подписываюсь на канал ! 🙂 Сделайте пожалуйста в настройках перевод на русские субтитры 🙏
Currently restoring a 100+ year old footstool of my great-grandmother's. I have never done upholstery with brass tacks before. The construction of the upholstery on my stool is exactly like this chair. Thank you so much for the VERY helpful tutorial!
I almost had a heart attack at the 11:30 repair-I thought, “what in the heck is he cutting off? He just fixed that piece!!?” You are a master craftsman, and I love watching your videos. I recently picked up a bankers chair made in March 1930. It has this same decorative nailed leather back, and I appreciated watching your technique. (I threw out the horsehair-I didn’t know it could be reused 😝) Side note, my bankers chair was $5.00 American. 😂. It is in solid, beautiful condition. The leather was dry rotted, and it needed a refinish. Almost done with it, and I can’t thank you enough for the tips I am learning from your videos!
What a lovely chair. You can almost hear it breathe a sigh of relief through the screen. You do excellent work. You seem to love the pieces back to life🐝🤗❤️
The power of sanding, clamps of all kinds, clever repairs, hard work, skill, attention to detail, love for restoration, tools of all sorts, patience, did I mention sanding?, skill, unusual repairs, very clever repairs, skill, patience, etc. = beautiful chair back to life! Thomas Johnson (Maine) would be proud of you.
There you go! It's time for the next 100 years !!! What a wonderful job you've done! You should have left a note in the chair cushion for the next restaurateur...
I just recently discovered your channel! Your work is amazing! These videos are not only educational, but they bring back many fond memories to me. When I was very young, I had a relative that did upholstery and she always had something that I could help her with. If I were younger, I would consider getting into this line of work in her memory.
About halfway through this video, I realized: Wow, Ahti really LOVES this chair! I hope you are able to make time for projects that bring you this much pleasure, often. I enjoyed watching you make something beautiful with care. 🙂
The chair looks so tiny next to him. I think maybe people were smaller in the early 1900s. With sanitation we do better and have a chance to grow more. Either that or he is a really big guy. Just my thoughts.
Ahti, I wish I 'd known about you in 2019 as my wife and I were visiting Tallin, Estonia. We were in Europe celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary. I would have loved to come by and visit your shop. Anyway keep up the good work. I love your videos.
A fortune can be made by techies working for some of the major comanies sitting at a desk and computer screen, but they won't even be a memory and leave no imprint on history. This craftsman will leave a legacy, and in another 100 - 200 years when someone restores this piece, they'll admire the craftsmanship carried out. I would rather leave a legacy that survives, than make a fortune sitting at a screen and leave nothing.Beautiful work.
Beautiful restoration, very handsome restorer. very relaxing to watch in every respect. Love the way you so carefully take bits out and put bits in and it shows that you take pride in what you do.
Начало положено с осмотра и диагностики - что убрать совсем из-за полной непригодности, что очистить от налёта, что отшлифовать, что заменить или подправить, разобрать, подклеять, зачистить, снова собрать и поставить на место, пролакировать, восстановить обшивку и стул, как новенький! Браво мастер "золотые руки"! Вы супер! 👍👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💥💥💥💖💖💖

I agree, but sometimes I do want a little more information. Like why did you use hide glue on one part and pva on another. Same project

I like that he does not use music throughout his videos. The sounds of the workshop is enough.
@@SiddiGorsky-xc7ubMaybe Google and read about the differences between hide glue and pva might make things bit clearer.

You are The Best of all. My congratulations!
I see patience, love and respect of materials used. These attributes are very much lacking in our society nowadays. A marvellous restoration work.
Yes indeed he cuts alittle bit to repair while others would just replace the whole panel .
Ahti is a master craftsman. I love your work, sir! I also never heard of special repair wax.
Смотрю Ваши видео - не перестаю восхищаться! В каждом стуле - сокровище! И это сокровище - руки и душа мастера!!! Всего Вам доброго!
Simply the best.
I got so excited watching this chair regain it's beauty under your capable hands.
Clamps are wood workers best friends.😄
Такой стул,грех не отреставрировать,ведь это чистый модерн!!!Молодец мастер, что не бросил стул!!!Респект и уважуха!!!!

Приятно смотреть, когда руки растут из правильного места.
Вы реставрируете с любовью, тщанием, аккуратностью. Это замечательное искусство.
I can only echo a all the other comments about your expertise and quality of your work, and how it speaks for itself. More please.
The chair is better than the new one! Great job! Good luck!
I love all of your videos. You are absolutely great. Keep up the amazing work. Sending you lots of smiles from Texas USA.

אתה אמן בחסד.. היתברכת בשלל כשרונות.. אוהבת לראות את עבודתך.. תודה שאתה משתף אותנו במה שאתה עושה
There you go! It's time for the next 100 years !!! What a wonderful job you've done! You should have left a note in the chair cushion for the next restaurateur...
At first, I didn't see the potential in this chair. But as you worked I started to see it's beauty. Beautiful work.
It’s a beautiful chair....NOW. I greatly admire your work.
I have learned so much from you! I appreciate the nontalking, too. The typed comments are enough. Dana

Jo
i didn't think the tacks looked dull or wanting replacing until I saw the ones u put in instead. It is a work of art!
Это произведение искусства. Добротно, надёжно и глаз радует.
В руках мастера рождается новая жизнь вещей! 🎉🌹🌹🌹 Безупречная работа! 👏👏👏
My gosh that looks good! Truly a showpiece now. TY for your furniture TLC ❤️
About halfway through this video, I realized: Wow, Ahti really LOVES this chair! I hope you are able to make time for projects that bring you this much pleasure, often. I enjoyed watching you make something beautiful with care. 🙂
Yes I do, I have 2 of these now :)
The detail found on either side of the front arch is beautiful. You do fantastic work, true craftsmanship.
Vrlo, vrlo pedantno i temeljno! Svaka čast! Zadovoljstvo je gledati ovakvu restauraciju!
You are a wonderful restorer. I love your videos Sara
I so enjoy watching you restore these pieces. You maintain the original design with such expertise. You are truly gifted at what you do.
You must be trained in upholstery! Am I right? The chair fits perfectly. Outstanding renovation once again!
Great job restoring the old chair! You can see that you really care about restoring the furniture pieces back to their original glory! :-)
WHAT BEAUTIFUL WORKMANSHIP, A PLEASURE TO WATCH. BRAVO

Beautiful restoration! The chair is GREAT!!❤
Es usted un verdadero artista. Gracias por mostrar su trabajo. Saludos desde España
Wow. I’m in awe of your talents. Such a beautiful chair preserved for the future.
Ahti, I wish I 'd known about you in 2019 as my wife and I were visiting Tallin, Estonia. We were in Europe celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary. I would have loved to come by and visit your shop. Anyway keep up the good work. I love your videos.
I'm a new viewer and think your work is fabulous! Attention to detail, using extra care to make things right again. Loved this!
you gave a second life to this old chair, but in a more attractive appearance ! thanks
I find the shots with all the clamps in place SUPER satisfying. I think the arrangement is cool, plus it looks solid. S-O-L-I-D!
Absolutely beautiful restoration yet again!!!😊😊😊
So much attention to the smallest of details! I just really love your Channel. Your work is just amazing.
I love these vintage chairs, they’re beautiful
These videos are absolutely amazing 👏 I can't believe how clever you are .
What a beautiful chair.
Lovely!!! Both this piece and the restoration you made. It was a joy to watch (even more because I love art-deco)!
The heartwarming story of a man and his clamps. 💕
Beautiful restoration and save of an old chair 🪑

I would rather leave a legacy that survives, than make a fortune sitting at a screen and leave nothing.Beautiful work.
The flower tacks really finished it up nicely. Amazing what such a small feature can do. Nice work.
This video was a meditation in wood working and leather upholstery. Thank you!
I love art nouveau and you took such care in restoring this chair. it looks fantastic. great video.
Excellent restoration very nice 🙂🙂🙂
Thank you for saving this treasure of a chair.
My sincere appreciation for the exact, precise work with which she restores furniture that often seems unsalvageable.
That chair is so proud of itself now. Bravo.
I love to see this kind of carpentery restorations. Again, very nice video, thank you!
Wonderful work from a master carpenter 👍
Lovely art nouveau chair.he restored it to perfection.and the leather was the perfect colour.exquisite.
Another wonderful restoration, the fine detail to even gluing and carving those slivers of wood in the back detailing, so relaxing to watch.
A beautiful restoration there. May the chair give pleasure to owners for another 120 years.
Wow! Beautiful restoration done by a true craftsman. I love your transformations of things long forgotten!
Perfect just perfect .You have golden hands!!!
I WOULD NEVER HAVE THAT SKILL OR KNOWLEDGE. ITS FUN WATCHING SOMEONE WHO DOES THOUGH. GREAT TALENT AND PATIENCE.
Beautiful job
Beautiful restoration, very handsome restorer. very relaxing to watch in every respect. Love the way you so carefully take bits out and put bits in and it shows that you take pride in what you do.
Perfect restauration, Master. I love Art Decó. Thanks for sharing your beautiful job.
Awesome, thank you very much !
Well done, a kind restoration in keeping with the original chair.
I love chairs. You get very neat chairs. Great work. Chet Obrien
One of the most beautiful restoration jobs I have ever watched it was like watching the chair just be made simply beautiful ❤️
Уровень мастерства таков,что хочется знать о Вас больше! Вопросов к Вам масса,поэтому здоровья,сил и позитива!
I watch your videos over and over. You are a master of restorations.
Beautiful 😍 chair and job. I thought you were going to reuse the horsehair and would've used more padding in the seat?
Excellent Job!

Nice to see a true craftsman work. So many haven't the knowledge & skill to do it the right way and too often destroy not restore.
You brought it back to life.
Beautiful chair. Doesn't look comfortable, but you made it attractive again. Thank you for the video 😊👍
You can't even tell it was repaired or restored! Amazing!
Wow, but its always wow with your perfectto work mr A T. 👍🎓
