  • This chair is made by Luterma, in the early 1900-s. It was mass produced and popular model. Now most of them have problems with plywood seat, but there are not many who can fix them. In this video, I will do that.
    I found that patent for similar chair was taken is USA as early as 1870, so this technology is pretty old. The chair itself is well made and is fairly comfortable to use.

    Thanks to YT, my channel has now function where you can tip me, its called Superthanks, it is next to like/dislike/share button. I havent done any sponsored videos (which can be annoying sometimes) and I dont have even Patreon page. So if you feel like giving back, you can use now the Superthanks function. It helps me to commit myself more to this channel and make better videos for you. But If you dont want to, you can use good old LIKE button, it helps me aswell ;)

    Beautiful job! I can relate to the part about the 600 holes. I am an upholsterer and I recently re-upholstered a set of dining chairs that required application of 5000 decorative nails. I found that patience is one of the best tools that I can have. But, if one really enjoys the work that they do, and I do, patience is easier to come by. BTW, I liked the sandpaper wrapped dowel trick. I will have to remember that one.

    Beautiful craftsmanship as always. Thank you. I am amazed that just 3 layers of veneer are strong enough to be sat on! :)

    Fellow restorer here, I’m surprised that you went against the grain with the steel wool on the chair legs. I know it’s not sandpaper but when the wood is wet with stripper it’s prone to scratching. The first thing I learned as an apprentice was stripping furniture. The guy that trained me didn’t want to ever strip again ,so I did it all and became pretty efficient…I’m talking about hundreds of jobs here over the years. It’s often easier to go against the grain , but easier isn’t always better. I really respect your right to do it your way , I just wanted to throw in my two cents. Thanks for promoting the art of restoration !

      When you turn and sand-finish a piece in a lathe, you are going against the grain.

      @@madpainter7114 I'm in no way a cabinet maker. I watch restoration videos purely out of interest in other trades, beside my own. But something I've noticed, guys use the shavings as a way of polishing and burnishing the surface of the turned work, right at the very end after sanding. Then, they oil the work, whilst still on the lathe. That technique seems to produce a very fine finish.
