  • This RESTORATION was a very sentimental one and has a sad story behind it unfortunately. However, I threw my all into this to make it as perfect as i could for my client and the end result definitely brought a smile to his face.

    David. If only the client and his family watch this video it will have been worth doing it, as they can see the love and care you have put into bringing this chair back to life in memory of his brother. And it can also be used to show to younger members of the family to explain where these chairs fit into their family’s history. Another fantastic restoration xx

    Patience, skill, imagination, artistic flair. The chair is perfect but I would not expect anything less from you. I hope the joy he has when you deliver the chair will go at least a little way to alleviate his grief. On a lighter note, please thank the gorgeous Daisy for her contribution. As always she made me smile. I wish you and your family a 2024 filled with love, joy and laughter. Oh, and many more vlogs!!!!!!!!!!!

    @hannahstraining7476 Год назад +4

    Absolutely beautiful. If ever a piece deserved to be restored it's this piece, not only for its sentimental value, but for its decorative value as well. A pair of these chairs at a small table or against a wall will look just lovely. You did a fantastic job all the way round, but particularly with the brass inlay.

  • @joygrove5570
    @joygrove5570 Год назад +6

    Beautiful work, as always. While the background that led to this restoration is, indeed, very sad, I'm certain that your customer now can cherish the memory of his brother in a much more positive way. You are a wonderful restorer, and I suppose, one of the prerequisites for doing this kind of work, apart from a great love for it, is a good amount of ingenuity when it comes to solving New situations, such as with bending those brass inlays ... and a willingness to possibly suffer burns on your fingers 😉
    Wishing you all the best for 2024, great health and happiness and continued success in everything you endeavor! Greetings from Germany ❤ Oh, and Daisy? She's hilarious! Such a great dog!

    I’d love to hear more about the history of the pieces you restore, that is, when was it built, what era, and so on. I live in the States where nothing is more than 50 years old, lol. Amazes me when there’s a piece of furniture that is 100 or 150 years old.

  • @WobblyBiped
    @WobblyBiped Год назад +3

    I do remember that fabric from a chair project you did previously; I think you also used it on a sewing cabinet/chest. This client must have an exquisite home with these pieces. You've got a great eye for centering and placing the pattern on the chair, too. I wondered how you'd curve the brass inlay, but never thought about heating it. The sound of rain in your workshop is so soothing. In my state of Oklahoma, we have either rain with tornadoes and hail, or just full drought. I envy you the steady rains that the UK seems to have. Daisy made her wiggly appearance with a cork, which makes all of us smile. She's a dear doggie. Thanks for another visit to your shop, and cheers from Oklahoma!!!
