I, personally, have no money. But when i visit antique show rooms on the east and west coast of the united states, i see chairs like this sell for near $1,000 US. In the middle of the country, much less. It all depends on where you are located and who s doing the sell, and how many people are taking a cut along the way. Its a difficult problem for the crafts person.
You mentioned that this was more of a rebuild than a restoration. I think that speaks volumes. You decided to take something that was destined for the burn pile and put it back into use for years to come. All the while enjoying the process! That was wonderful to see.
We have MISSED you Ahti! I am always looking for a restoration from you. And this rebuild didn't disappoint. You are a master of your craft. Thank you for taking us on your journey!
Your Rebuild is also a Reimagination. Your Historical Knowledge is so Good, You Can See the Possibilities of Variants that may not have Existed but look like They Could. Great Job! Hope to see You Again Soon !
Yeah! Another video from Ahti. This was really interesting. Your decision to replace the caning with wood veneer, the details about the laser printer, and making the distinction between restoration vs rebuilding were highlights for this audient, not to mention your usual excellent craftsmanship and attention to detail. Beautiful work once again!
For a chair to be in a museum it needs to be completely original even if it has faults, but modification excludes most things from the museum standard, exceptions exist.
Okay, now this job was just astonishing! Wish you could see me smiling and hear me saying "Wow wow wow!!" as I watch you work. Your skill, knowledge, and ingenuity just blow me away. And I very much appreciate that even in a rebuild you respect the piece's original style. Beautiful!
“And i have some ideas”….the beginning of a beautiful collaboration, between a craftsman who made the chair, likely dead a long time, and Ahti, a craftsman ready to bring the vision back to life! I get my cup of coffee, set my tablet up on the garden table and prepare to enjoy.❤
Art nouveau really was the finest style for furniture. Alas, only the rich could afford it. I recently visited Riga and saw the most amazing art nouveau buildings I’d ever seen.
Oh I loved that! Not a fan of wicker, but loved the replacement you came up with, so pretty. And the carved details were amazing. As usual, your color matching on the stain is just spot on, such a beautiful job! Thank you for posting!
A very reasonable way to have a product sponsorship -- you used the device and provided a link. So much better than breaking in for a 'commercial and trying to sell a product.! Well done.
Wow!! I would never believe it was the same chair if I hadn’t watched you do the work! It’s truly amazing what you can do with wood. Thank you for sharing your artistry.🐝🤗❤️
With experience, talent & creativity, you've lifted this delicate, stylish & functional chair to another level of beauty. Sadly, true craftspeople never recoup the many hours they've invested in doing fine work. Projects such as this become a labour of love, but love doesn't pay the bills. Thank you for the many hours of great quality recording/editing as well.🙏Cheers from Canada
Beautiful work, as always. I am amazed at how you can glue a lump of wood to a spot to replace a missing element and when you are done it looks like there was never anything missing.
Wow! Astonishing!!! Such a wonderfull chair! I had no idea what the laser machine could produce. How I missed your videos! You made my Saturday very special! Bravo!🌹👏
Fantastic rebuild Ahti, you've breathed new life into something that could so easily have been discarded. A wonderful job and thank you for the video. Cheers.
Such a beautiful result!💛 And watching the process is fascinating to me, because I'm not a woodworker, and I never really thought about how much time and skill go into a project like this. Thank you for your videos!
I really enjoy watching your videos...I have learned so much that I am able to recognize what techniques you're going to use to restore a piece before you even execute the process. I find it calming to watch you work. Please keep your videos coming... you're very talented.
I LOVE your work, Ahti! Whenever I see you have posted a new video, I can't wait to watch it! What beautiful work you have done on this chair. I love how you have been able to upgrade and acquire lots of high-end tools to help you accomplish these amazing restorations/rebuilds, but you are also so talented with a chisel and a hammer! your knowledge of repair far exceeds any other channel I watch. You are a master, and I hope you can teach others to work as you do, and continue on the tradition of such artistic woodworking skills!
Beautiful! Now it’s ready for new life, I love your redo yet kept the chair’s original structure. The laser design is a cool feature and will be fun for your projects. Recently I saw someone else with this machine and he made lovely metal signs for his small vineyard in France for his first project.
I love your furniture restoration videos. I have a lot of anxiety at night and watching you do beautiful work quietly (I have the volume off for my partner to sleep) helps calm me and helps me sleep better. thank you so much for sharing your talent, work and passion with the world ❤
Just beautiful! Love the art nouveau details along every corner and at the joins, the delicate yet powerful stance of the chair. Beautiful work rebuilding it in keeping with it's design vision. ❤
I’m not sure how it was suppose to look originally but I think it looks gorgeous now. I really like how you put such detail beauty from your cool laser machine. I believe this awesome looking chair will live another 100years or more. ♥️♥️😊👍👍👍👍🌟
It's very interesting, to see you fix a chair to your own liking. Your customers tend to have good taste, but that's still a different matter than having no limitations on what you can try.
YES!!! Should be required viewing for all students of design as well as repair and restoration. Lots to learn here about joint strength, grain direction, virtue of laminations, and how to account for shear type structural loading. Well done, important video thanks.
wow! you have so many different glues your profile-matching tool is really ingenious i love how you use all these simple techniques (well, they're conceptually simple, although I realize they take a great deal of time and effort to actually master) in order to reach through history and touch this chair Edit: I posted this comment before i saw the Lasers
I have just enough (minimal) experience with wood and creative handiness in general to know that the fact you make this look so easy means you have incredible skill rather than a remotely easy job. You're the best at this!
That was a brilliant transformation!!! That chair turned out so beautifully!!! I always enjoy watching you work. You, good sir, are a master craftsman!!! Can't wait to see your next project!!! Cheers from Virginia, USA!
This is gorgeous, Ahti. I love watching you work. The love you have for wood and old furniture is obvious and a joy to see. Thank you for sharing this bit of beauty with us all. Thanks for bringing it back to life.
It’s a real pleasure to watch a talented craftsman at work! New technology is wonderful but the real test is skill. It is such a beautiful, delicate chair!
I've got some pretty bad shaped pieces from the previous tennants and was about to det rid of them. But your every video is a proof that nothing is beyond repair!
Damn man 😮😮😮. From tatty old nothing to beautiful fresh and stunning! You really are the best at this Mr. AT 👉👉👉. Simply fantastic 👏👏👏. Thanks for showing and sharing 🙏. 😎
I think the back panel came out great. I would've like to have the pattern in the seat a little more pronounced. The repairs on the front legs were more visible than I thought they would be. Otherwise a fantastic rebuild.
May not be a restoration but certainly honored the spirit of the time of those who were making furniture at that time. I’m sure they would have been quite interested in the laser as well
How much would you pay for this chair now?
If I had the money I say 1,500.00 so Beautiful
700PLN
$400 to $500 U.S.
400 euro

Valeu!
From near junk to a museum piece. Ahti your craftsmanship never disappoints.
For a chair to be in a museum it needs to be completely original even if it has faults, but modification excludes most things from the museum standard, exceptions exist.

Você como sempre dando uma aula de talento !
I have watched many of your videos now, it is very interesting to see the differences between a true restoration and this “rebuilding”!! Bravo!!💙💙💙
Wow!! I would never believe it was the same chair if I hadn’t watched you do the work! It’s truly amazing what you can do with wood. Thank you for sharing your artistry.🐝🤗❤️
Beautiful job. You are a master craftsman, and that's why I love your rebuilding and restorations so much and learn so much from you at the same time
Wow, Ahti. Your incredible attention to detail really transformed that chair! Beautiful!
With experience, talent & creativity, you've lifted this delicate, stylish & functional chair to another level of beauty.
Sadly, true craftspeople never recoup the many hours they've invested in doing fine work.
Projects such as this become a labour of love, but love doesn't pay the bills.
Thank you for the many hours of great quality recording/editing as well.🙏Cheers from Canada
True
Someone was very serious about nailing those joints! I love restorations when there is lots of chisel work to do. Beautiful result as always
Oh, I like this better than a restore. It adds character and charm to the chair.
we missed you from youtube. Happy to sse u back
I love that they built the most fragile-looking things out of oak! And that you can rehabilitate them to their best selves. 💕🇨🇦
Amazing skill combined with technology created this stunning rebuild. I could watch you for hours.
Beautiful work, as always. I am amazed at how you can glue a lump of wood to a spot to replace a missing element and when you are done it looks like there was never anything missing.
Yet another great project I love watching these types repurposing a piece of furniture and making it look genuine. please keep making these!
It’s beautiful. Much much better than it was previously
Oh my word, what a beautiful transformation ❤
Nice to See You Again! It's a Pleasure just to Watch You Work! Love the Chair! Your Re-Build is
Your work is simply amazing. I could watch what you do for hours. Thank you so mush for sharing just a tad of what you do.❤
Всегда смотрю вас с большим удовольствием и восхищаюсь вашей работай! У вас золотые руки!!!😊
I like the fact that you put a solid seat in it rather that replacing the rattan. Rattan never lasts. That solid seat will.
I'm not sure that 'solid' seat can be sat on. Looks very thin to me.
@@kathrynblack9152 Its been laminated. That makes it stronger.
Wow! Astonishing!!! Such a wonderfull chair! I had no idea what the laser machine could produce. How I missed your videos! You made my Saturday very special! Bravo!🌹👏
Thanks! I needed some rest to prepare for the next season. 😎
Beautiful! It is such a pleasure to see your work! Thank you.
A Fabulous Rebuilt indeed !! I adore the Art Nouveau ornamentations. Very well done. Thx for sharing.
Вы даёте мебели вторую жизнь, это просто очень красиво.
Very elegant solution
Fantastic rebuild Ahti, you've breathed new life into something that could so easily have been discarded. A wonderful job and thank you for the video. Cheers.
You are an amazing craftsman🎉🎉🎉,and your skills are mind boggling!!! Well Done!!!
Such a beautiful result!💛 And watching the process is fascinating to me, because I'm not a woodworker, and I never really thought about how much time and skill go into a project like this. Thank you for your videos!
Of all your videos, this one may be my favorite! Could not envision how you were going to repair that broken corner, now amazed. Thank you!
I really enjoy watching your videos...I have learned so much that I am able to recognize what techniques you're going to use to restore a piece before you even execute the process. I find it calming to watch you work. Please keep your videos coming... you're very talented.

WOW! That word just popped out of my mouth at the final reveal...so beautiful!
Brilliant job.👍👍👍
Missed your exquisite work glad you’re back ❤
YES!!! Should be required viewing for all students of design as well as repair and restoration. Lots to learn here about joint strength, grain direction, virtue of laminations, and how to account for shear type structural loading. Well done, important video thanks.
Beautiful work ❤

your profile-matching tool is really ingenious

Edit: I posted this comment before i saw the Lasers
i really appreciate your craftsman ship and look forward to every video that you post---thanks from TEXAS!
As usual you did an outstanding job. The chair is now ready for the next hundred years. Bravo.
O.M.G.! This is my new favorite! What a beautiful "Lady" this turned out to be!
Strong Work! I would have liked the burned-in lines a little darker. Thanks for your very good videos!
For us espicially who can’t restore. It’s masterpeace
That is amazing how those new supports fit in perfectly with the design and look exactly like the old wood. Absolute magic.
Lovely to see Luther designs from Estonia. Beautiful work with the chair!
I have just enough (minimal) experience with wood and creative handiness in general to know that the fact you make this look so easy means you have incredible skill rather than a remotely easy job. You're the best at this!
$250 ? Love the amazing craftsmanship- fantastic job!
You have the best toys! 😉 I love to see the tools and machinery you use. I also appreciate the explanations on their usage. Well done once again 👏
Beautiful vision and beautiful execution.
This chair looks better than it did when new!!! Beautiful rebuild!
Amazing how you know so much about antique furniture and how to rebuild it. Great work! 😊
Your skills never cease to amaze me. You are a true craftsman.
Such a lovely blend of traditional techniques and modern technology, which have produced a stunning piece of furniture.
Fabulous work - I love Art Nouveau and you did this piece the justice it deserved.
You have the best tools to showcase your talent and you are such an amazingly patient craftsman. Bravo! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
For those that don't know this is the exact chair used in James Bond Casino Royale. Impressive restoration and amazing piece of history.
If by "the exact chair" you mean "a completely different chair", then you're right.
@@c0ldc0ne Whoosh
@@cj3616 Bless you.
Loved the simple "dimple" added to the seat. Beautiful! You are so creative. You have magnificent taste.
Terrific work. Expert and painstaking.
New toy! Old true skills! This video has everything.
That was a brilliant transformation!!! That chair turned out so beautifully!!! I always enjoy watching you work. You, good sir, are a master craftsman!!! Can't wait to see your next project!!!
Cheers from Virginia, USA!
The chair has such elegant lines. Very nice chair
This is gorgeous, Ahti. I love watching you work. The love you have for wood and old furniture is obvious and a joy to see. Thank you for sharing this bit of beauty with us all. Thanks for bringing it back to life.
You are a true professional at your work. I could watch you work for hours. Love your work.
Grazie Maestro per la condivisione, impariamo molto. Un abbraccio dall'Italia 🇮🇹👋
My grandmother refinished so many chairs just like this one, but your redesign was intriguing to watch and beautiful to behold. Thank you!
Watching you at work is allwys a pleasure: care, skill, precision, even in this case when the result is a bit of a mongrel
It’s a real pleasure to watch a talented craftsman at work! New technology is wonderful but the real test is skill. It is such a beautiful, delicate chair!
Incredible as usual.
So glad you are back!
Lovely and very educational along the way, thank you!
Your so extremely talented. It's a pleasure to watch you work!
So careful, so thoughtful. I love your work, it is always so interesting to watch.

So interesting. Best channel on RUclips, endlessly fascinating. I don't know how anyone can have so patience to do all the finicky things he does.
A fantastic repair and restoration fron one of the best channels on RUclips!
Your new laser is cool, good job in the redo 👏 👍 👌 it's lovely 😍
Once more an excellent restauration and such attention to detail and a pleasure to watch - thank you for it
May not be a restoration but certainly honored the spirit of the time of those who were making furniture at that time. I’m sure they would have been quite interested in the laser as well
You are such an artist! The chair is magnificent.
