David, your patience and persistence is a testament to the kind of guy you are. Your determination to put your name only to the very highest standards of skill and workmanship is truly remarkable and rare in this age of mass production. I hope that Emily will keep this video and it will stay with the chair down the generations and it will be viewed many times with awe and pride. I know that George will love this chair and it will be enjoyed by many, many children. Your artistic flair for the finish and upholstery for all the pieces you bring back to life is astounding. Daisy, as always, made me smile. I am so glad that she now has a diagnosis and can be treated accordingly. You will need to work extra hard now to pay those vet bills. This comment is nearly as long as your video so I will stop now and look forward to your next post.
Thanks as always for your amazing comments of support Pamela, it really means a lot. You're not wrong about working to pay off the vets bills. 🤣🤣. She's worth every penny though. ❤️❤️
Apropos of nothing, the thought occurred to me that your little George now has a visual record of how you fixed that chair for him, this is going to make it even more special.
I am so happy there are people who appreciate the history of old family pieces, but even happier to see people who have the skills to bring them back from the dead. Your patience and love of restoration have paid off again. That rocker is stunning. George is a lucky duck!!!
I love the outcome. The duck fabric is adorable. George is a lucky fellow. The work you put into the little rocker is awesome. It challenged you and what it taught you was outstanding. Again lucky George awesome job well done.
My goodness, you have knocked this one out of the park. What a glorious restoration and every element of it shows it was a labour of love. Many, many congratulations. The news about Daisy made my heart hurt. She is always a ray of pure sunshine. Without a doubt, she will make a full and speedy recovery. Warmest thoughts to you both from the west of Ireland.
Absolutely stunning, amazing work. I love everything about this chair….fabric, extraordinary effort but most of all the obvious love that went into the project. Hope Daisy does well on her medication. She’s such a doll. Finally, congratulations on the Gilroy’s participation in your channel. I’m going to order something now!
Thanks so much Kathy, it certainly was a labour of love but he's worth it. Daisy is starting to show signs of improvement on this medication so fingers crossed. 😃🐶❤️
Super happy Daisy is going to be fine. She's adorable. That chair oh my goodness it's absolutely beautiful, stunning and that duck fabric is so so so adorable. Great job
What a lesson in patience. I am sure George and his mother will love this little rocker. I hope when George is a bit older his mother shows him this video so he can see how much love and work you put into his little treasure. Glad to hear Daisy has been diagnosed and is on the way to a good thyroid level. I have been on thyroid meds for around 25 years now. The wonders of modern meds.
My Cousin was in tears when she saw the chair and how much work i'd put into it so its all worth it. Daisy is starting to get much better after being on the meds for about 6 weeks now. Thanks for caring 😃🐶❤️
What a result 💚💛❤️ the ducks, the chair is stunning and thank you to Daisy for making Pippin sit still for a few seconds 😂 she watches Daisy with her tail wagging bless them funny little pups! Also well done on the Gilboys front, I use it on my carving so the discount will be extremely useful next time I need to order - brilliant video worth the wait 😃
That turned out really lovely and I do love the duck fabric. I had a dress when I was a child that my mother made for me that had ducks all over it. My “ducky” dress was my favorite!
Wow! What an amazing job! Chairs are so difficult, and rocking chairs nearly impossible, based solely on my experience with aged chairs failing. Your patience and talent is a great gift to your cousins. George is a very lucky boy! Congratulations on the Gilboys connection/sponsorship. Lucky for us viewers as well! The shine on that finish is perfect. Thank you for another wonderful video! It’s a cork to Daisy for me. ❤
What a happy looking chair! Excellent job, as usual. I know you'll get a lot of advice, but using a loose scrunchy to hold up the ears on my dogs with floppy ears ( Spaniels and Bassett Hounds) really helped with that yeasty stuff. Not tight, loosely. Big love to Daisy ❤
I'm in total awe!! Talk about perseverance in the face of challenge!! All the things you had to overcome with this chair leaves me speechless. It's a beautiful restoration. You should be so proud of yourself. I'm also very happy you received the recognition from Gilboy's it's very deserved. I'm glad you found out how to treat Daisy's health issues. Wonderful post David!!
You took a lovely pile of kindling and made it into a proper chair! It's lovely. Always good to see our happy Daisy, hoping for the best for the sweet girl. I'm 64 and still have a little antique rocker from an aunt. My kiddo has a lovely little one my dad restored, even to redoing all the woven cane. Rest assured those rockers you did will be cherished a long time.
Your persistence paid off. It is a family treasure now and for future generations. 👍🏻 I think the duck fabric is perfect! ⭐️ The Gilboys products look interesting and worth checking out. Thank you.
When you commented that the chair looked to be handmade I wondered if it was made by someone's grandfather many years ago. I hope that it will make little ones happy for many generations to come. Absolutely beautiful!
I'm so proud that you stuck it out and made this little rocking chair whole again! The Gilboy wax and oil is so nice. Please tell Daisy that her Auntie in the states has hypothyroidism, too! I'm also a bit overweight lol. Love and blessings to you and yours! 😊
What a beautiful heirloom for young George ~ So absorbing to watch. And darling Daisy, well she brings us all such joy 🤗🐶 Thank you for being the best of RUclips !
Note to self--wear safety glasses when clamping wood!! 😮. So glad that you were not injured when that wood snapped! (I've had my cornea scratched and it was more painful than a C-section!!). What lucky little boys to have you as an 'uncle' (I loved the other chair too!)
You are exactly right, I never thought clamping wood could be so dangerous but then again it was my own fault for over tightening it. Lesson learned!! 🤣🤣❤️
David--what an ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL JOB you did on this chair for George!!! I sure hope he appreciates all of the painstaking efforts you put into it for him! I've been watching your channel for a couple of years now, and I just want to let you know how much I respect and appreciate your craft, and your obvious recognition of quality with the Guilboy products! Thank you for this video!
Good thing you had Daisy's (love Daisy) emotional support or you might have given up. Your inventive needed alterations and patience were astounding! George is so lucky to receive such a lovely piece. ❤
Of course, I’ll say it again, your work is impeccable! You’ve inspired me to not only refinish furniture, but to try my hand at restoration. I’ll definitely be rewatching your videos for help. 😊 I may even try to make my own videos. You’re amazing. Thank you!
Wow what a great comment. Its so great to hear that i have given you some inspiration to do your own restorations. If you do start your own RUclips channel, let me know the name and i'll check it out 😃❤️
I applaud your determination to keep going when it was just so tedious! It was worth it. I love the fabric! Well done. It was a pleasure to watch you overcome!

Absolutely stunning! Your perseverance truly paid off! It’s gorgeous- and quite possibly will start up new battles of ownership and coveting! 😆 Daisy’s tappy-taps just get me! Hope she gets to feeling well with new medication and treatment. 💖 If you are cornered to do another cousin’s chair- if they’re not too little, it would be great to get them involved with the restoration process! They could sand, and glue, and watch and learn! I’m sure they’d love it- I know I would! Again, we felt your frustration and disappointment, but you carried through it all and achieved a magnificent miracle at the end! Love this! 💖👍👏🌟🤘
Oh David, that is so lovely! All your blood, sweat and tears paid off in spades. I’m sure George and his family will treasure this chair for many years to come. Beautiful!
This is a very very proud chair!!! This was a labor of love, and I hope George cherishes this piece. I do hope he is able to watch this video and while he does, he will feel the love created for him! Great job sir!
How Wonderful😍🥰George I’m sure will be uber excited with his new rockie. Aw David what a super patient guy you are. Labour of love right enough😲😲I so enjoy watching your restorations. Ohhhh and wee Daisy, give her a massive cuddle from me and a woof from my 2 puppers Roo & Barney🐶🐶🐶
Hi, I actually took it over for him today and he loves is. My cousin has just messaged me a little video of him rocking away on it ❤️. I'll give Daisy a cuddle from you, Roo and Barney 😃🐶🐶🐶❤️
Oh David, this piece was a tremendous amount of work and a really big pain in the backside! We all felt your frustration! But just know that you are the master and it looks outstanding! Absolutely love the duck upholstery it's beautiful! George is going to be over the moon for his new chair! Fantastic job transforming this to be used for George's children 😊! I'll keep Daisy in my prayers! Soon she'll be back to good health once her medicine is right! She's such a sweet girl and she's happy all the time! Blessings to you and your family and Daisy! Awesome rocker for George! Hope you can make a video of his excitement when he gets it! Take care, have a rest after this grueling job! 😊❤
Thanks so much for your lovely comments Pam. Its so nice to hear that you enjoy my videos and the Daisy appearances. She's starting to feel much better now she's on the meds. Thanks for your continued support 😃❤️🐶
WOW.....absolutely beautiful. I need to find some Gilboys, it's a great finish. So glad you didn't give up on that chair though I wouldn't have blamed you if you did. I'm sure your cousin was more than pleased. My best to Daisy.
Hi Julie. If you click the link in the video description it'll take you to the Gilboys website. Lots of amazing products on there. Thanks so your continued support 😃🐶❤️
What a beautiful result from your labour of Hercules! 😊 I've just had a week like yours, what can go wrong, does go wrong, but you persevered and overcame every issue, and won the race. 👍 I'm sure George will be over the moon when he sees his own special chair, with duckies too! 🦆🦆🦆💖🤗
A massive shout-out to Gilboys for taking care of us & our guy at Mayfield Restorations. The chair may have tested you, but the repair lessons you just passed on to your devoted viewers are priceless. Thanks David, you outdid yourself 🙌 Oh, and the duck fabric is spot on. Pat/Yukon, Canada🍁
Just beautiful. When you started, I thought you might just give up. But you persevered and did a wonderful job fixing and refinishing the wood and I just love the fabric you used on the seat - playful and not childish. Thank you for sharing your projects.
My dad and I knocked down two small oak chairs that had laid in a field in the desert for years. There was zero finish left and the wood had weathered down to grey fuzz.. Dad who had repaired or refinished mor chairs than anyone could count anymore had me lettering and key marking all the joints so we could re assemble them They did go back together however we had to level the legs they were SO twisted They have a special charm about them and I gained a real appreciation for my dads patience and love of old furniture Thank you for your channel Dads been gone for quite a while now I really enjoy your dedication And Daisy of course is a lovely girl
This is gorgeous! The fabric is so cute & will grow with him! I'd say Teddy will he fighting over George's chair now 😂 i hope you get Daisys meds sorted wothout much trouble! Great work, love your channel
@29 I would’ve used an Emory board to clean out that tight spot of the spindle 🥴 Praying Daisy gets better ❤️ David as usual you make something so hard look so easy. You sure are a great carpenter. This was so sweet. Just loved it ❤️🇺🇸 The material is precious ❤️and I love your reveal music 👍🏼That company that sent you all that product is spectacular and they sure know how show presentation
Just wrote a comment and lost it****. Fabulous job David. Whoever said you can’t make a silk purse from a sows ear never watched you. Thank you Daisy for teaching you. Well done sir👏👏👌👌❤
You certainly had your work cut out for you. This chair had way too many issues, but you stuck with it and produced an absolutely "George-ous" work of art chair. And the fabric...wow, the perfect touch. Well done!
The things we do for children! We hope they appreciate it! And remember what you did for them. I had a small table, chair, and a doll bed when I was little. The chair didn't survive, but the others did. I appreciated them more thru the years. I am now 78. My great granddaughter is now playing with these. Take heart. You have done good work!
You have the patience of a saint. The chair came out beautifully. Love the fabrics whimsical yet mature. Give Daisy a pet and let her know she has her own fans😊
When the troubles with children end, those with grandchildren begin. It's the cycle of life! Good thing you have Daisy to teach you how to get out of these troubles.😂
Hi David, I hope that your little George loves you back the same and more and appreciates his bespoke rocking chair in the way you and it deserve. That is such a beautiful chair, obviously made with love and plenty of labour, cheers to you and much love to little gorgeous Daisy !!!!🥰😘👍👍👍🙏
Hi Frances. I haven't given it to George yet but taking it over next week. Emily has seen it though and told me she was crying at the video. ❤️ Thanks so much for your continued support, i really appreciate it 😃❤️🐶
Right about 30 minutes into the video, had it been me, this chair would have made a nice warm fire. LOL You have the patience of Job. This little rocker turned out so nice. With all the troubles you were having I never thought it would come out like new, but it did! Okay, now for the whinge. In the words of my mother, and probably yours too, wear your safety glasses before you put your eye out! ❤
By George this was an awesome project! I love handmade and restored items that are labors of love! Teddy and George are so lucky to have you in their lives, as is Daisy (and all your viewers). ❤ to 🐕
I love this! Who knew a child’s rocker repair & restore would be so interesting?! As usual, I learned so much and it’s given me inspiration and respect for the 4 antique English oak kitchen chairs of mine that need some love (as well as respect for your skill and patience). Hope George loved his chair and that Daisy is doing well on her meds and CONGRATULATIONS on the Gilboy’s partnership! That must have felt great! Also, I love the ducks. Both whimsical and very tasteful. Bravo! 🎉
Thanks so much and I’m glad you enjoyed it. Your chairs sound lovely. George absolutely loves his chair and apparently he won’t sit anywhere else when he’s at home 🤣🤣❤️
I can't wait. My problem is that your today is my tomorrow and my today is your yesterday! That's what it's like living on the other side of the pond. 🙃Daisy understands. lol
I get notified in the morning that Daisy had an episode up yesterday, which I then had to wait to this evening to watch, by which time their today has caught up, but as I move into tomorrow, his today will become yesterday.
Your corners look pretty darn good to me. The wood finish is beautiful! Job very well done. I really enjoyed this video. George is a fortunate little man to have such a caring person to love him.
With all the challenges of this chair, it has come out beautifully. Little George will be very happy 😊. Hello sweet Daisy girl. I love your work, David ❤
Please tell everyone you know to subscribe to this remarkable man's channel!. I enjoy them all and dont even do this work. From a fan in Washington state USA.
Dave: Therapists are standing by...what an ordeal. Fortunate that the exploding wood shard missed your eye. But in the end, the chair from hell turned out heavenly.👍👍👍👍
I feel really bad that I burst out laughing when the piece broke & flew! And again a few minutes later. However I've worked on multiple "non-professional" handmade pieces where everything was also just a bit of wonkie. The piece that almost drove me over the hill was a sewing stool. No matching piece matched any other matching piece. I ended up doing what you did cutting some pieces to make it more uniform. Thank you just so much for giving me a needed laugh.
Don't feel bad, I laughed at myself when i was editing the video 🤣🤣. I hope the next peice i'm working on doesn't end up like this chair or your sewing stool!! Fingers crossed 😃👍
David, your patience and persistence is a testament to the kind of guy you are. Your determination to put your name only to the very highest standards of skill and workmanship is truly remarkable and rare in this age of mass production. I hope that Emily will keep this video and it will stay with the chair down the generations and it will be viewed many times with awe and pride. I know that George will love this chair and it will be enjoyed by many, many children. Your artistic flair for the finish and upholstery for all the pieces you bring back to life is astounding.
Daisy, as always, made me smile. I am so glad that she now has a diagnosis and can be treated accordingly. You will need to work extra hard now to pay those vet bills. This comment is nearly as long as your video so I will stop now and look forward to your next post.
Thanks as always for your amazing comments of support Pamela, it really means a lot. You're not wrong about working to pay off the vets bills. 🤣🤣. She's worth every penny though. ❤️❤️
Apropos of nothing, the thought occurred to me that your little George now has a visual record of how you fixed that chair for him, this is going to make it even more special.
❤❤❤
😃❤️
😃🐶❤️
I am so happy there are people who appreciate the history of old family pieces, but even happier to see people who have the skills to bring them back from the dead. Your patience and love of restoration have paid off again. That rocker is stunning. George is a lucky duck!!!
Thanks so much Sue, i really appreciate your lovely comments 😃❤️
George is a lucky boy! That rocker is a work of heart. I love the ducks.
I love that, "A Work of Heart", brilliant 😃❤️
How beautiful.!.thank you for sharing your adventures in restoration. Love and hugs for Daisy. ♥️🤗🐶
Thank YOU for watching and giving me your support 😃🐶❤️
Daisy is really a beautiful dog...is she a Springer Spaniel? She does have a lovely/playful "cheeky" disposition! Thank You for sharing her with us!
Hi, thanks for saying that about Daisy. She is an English Cocker Spaniel 😃🐶❤️
I love the outcome. The duck fabric is adorable. George is a lucky fellow. The work you put into the little rocker is awesome. It challenged you and what it taught you was outstanding. Again lucky George awesome job well done.
So pleased you liked the end results. It certainly was a labour of love 😃🐶❤️
My goodness, you have knocked this one out of the park. What a glorious restoration and every element of it shows it was a labour of love. Many, many congratulations.
The news about Daisy made my heart hurt. She is always a ray of pure sunshine. Without a doubt, she will make a full and speedy recovery.
Warmest thoughts to you both from the west of Ireland.
Looks fantastic! Love the fabric on the seat. It was worth all the time you put into it.
Thanks so much 😃😃
Gorgeous duck fabric! Love it - great choice :) Your perseverance paid off! So glad Daisy will be OK
Thank you! 😊🐶❤️
Healing energy for Daisy! Hope she is back to the peak of health soon! 💖
🐶😃❤️
Absolutely stunning, amazing work. I love everything about this chair….fabric, extraordinary effort but most of all the obvious love that went into the project.
Hope Daisy does well on her medication. She’s such a doll. Finally, congratulations on the Gilroy’s participation in your channel. I’m going to order something now!
Thanks so much Kathy, it certainly was a labour of love but he's worth it. Daisy is starting to show signs of improvement on this medication so fingers crossed. 😃🐶❤️
Super happy Daisy is going to be fine. She's adorable. That chair oh my goodness it's absolutely beautiful, stunning and that duck fabric is so so so adorable. Great job
Yeah, Daisy is getting better all the time on this new medication, thanks. I loved that Duck fabric too. 😃🐶❤️
Wow! Amazing restoration. The Gilboys finish added a beautiful shine to the piece. Great job!
Thanks very much 😃
This chair was not perfect when it was new. You did an amazing job.
Thanks Rita 😃
What a lesson in patience. I am sure George and his mother will love this little rocker. I hope when George is a bit older his mother shows him this video so he can see how much love and work you put into his little treasure. Glad to hear Daisy has been diagnosed and is on the way to a good thyroid level. I have been on thyroid meds for around 25 years now. The wonders of modern meds.
My Cousin was in tears when she saw the chair and how much work i'd put into it so its all worth it. Daisy is starting to get much better after being on the meds for about 6 weeks now. Thanks for caring 😃🐶❤️
What a result 💚💛❤️ the ducks, the chair is stunning and thank you to Daisy for making Pippin sit still for a few seconds 😂 she watches Daisy with her tail wagging bless them funny little pups!
Also well done on the Gilboys front, I use it on my carving so the discount will be extremely useful next time I need to order - brilliant video worth the wait 😃
I love hearing that Pippin reacts to the Daisy sections, its so funny. Even Daisy watches herself on the screen as if its another dog!! Mad! 🤣🤣
That turned out beautiful… The fabric is perfect for it❤❤❤. And I just love Daisy. She’s a real sweetheart.
😃🐶❤️❤️
Wish I could tip all of your videos but you were really tested on this one and you really pulled it off! Cheers!
That’s really kind of you. Thanks so much, I really appreciate your support 😀🐶❤️
I'm at my most patient when I'm working with wood. There's just something soothing to me when I'm repairing or just touching a piece of wood
Me too, although this tested that patience 🤣🤣
👍 absolutely beautiful restoration, love the duck fabric 😊
Thanks Katheine 😃❤️
That turned out really lovely and I do love the duck fabric. I had a dress when I was a child that my mother made for me that had ducks all over it. My “ducky” dress was my favorite!
I loved the ducks to and your "Ducky" dress sounds awesome 😃😃
Wow! What an amazing job! Chairs are so difficult, and rocking chairs nearly impossible, based solely on my experience with aged chairs failing. Your patience and talent is a great gift to your cousins. George is a very lucky boy! Congratulations on the Gilboys connection/sponsorship. Lucky for us viewers as well! The shine on that finish is perfect. Thank you for another wonderful video! It’s a cork to Daisy for me. ❤
I absolutely love that duck fabric. Good choice
Thanks so much 😃😃
Now I want to design and build a chair that is thin AF! ❤
It was rather delicate 🤣🤣👍❤️
Incredible restoration and I absolutely LOVE the fabric you chose.
What a happy looking chair! Excellent job, as usual. I know you'll get a lot of advice, but using a loose scrunchy to hold up the ears on my dogs with floppy ears ( Spaniels and Bassett Hounds) really helped with that yeasty stuff. Not tight, loosely. Big love to Daisy ❤
Thanks so much, I'll give that a try because she is prone to Yeast infection in one of her ears. 😃🐶❤️
Absolutely beautiful! Loved the fabric x
Thanks Amanda 😃🐶❤️
I'm in total awe!! Talk about perseverance in the face of challenge!! All the things you had to overcome with this chair leaves me speechless. It's a beautiful restoration. You should be so proud of yourself. I'm also very happy you received the recognition from Gilboy's it's very deserved.
I'm glad you found out how to treat Daisy's health issues.
Wonderful post David!!
Thanks so much for your lovely comments, its really appreciated 😃😃❤️🐶
You've turned that pile of kindling into a delightful family heirloom!
It almost got used as kindling!!🤣🤣
You took a lovely pile of kindling and made it into a proper chair! It's lovely. Always good to see our happy Daisy, hoping for the best for the sweet girl. I'm 64 and still have a little antique rocker from an aunt. My kiddo has a lovely little one my dad restored, even to redoing all the woven cane. Rest assured those rockers you did will be cherished a long time.
Thanks so much for leaving such a nice comment 😃❤️🐶
You’re a good man. You not only have rebuilt the. Hair but have strengthen the “ties that bind” the generations of your family. Good work 👍
I appreciate that, thanks so much 😃😃
Just exceptional, exceptional work! Congratulations on a beautiful job and best wishes to George and his family. 😊
Thats so kind, thanks very much Nancy 😃❤️
Your persistence paid off. It is a family treasure now and for future generations. 👍🏻
I think the duck fabric is perfect! ⭐️
The Gilboys products look interesting and worth checking out. Thank you.
Thanks so much. The Gilboys stuff is amazing 😃❤️
When you commented that the chair looked to be handmade I wondered if it was made by someone's grandfather many years ago. I hope that it will make little ones happy for many generations to come. Absolutely beautiful!
It could well have been made as a one off piece. I'm glad i saved it from being thrown away and now it'll be an heirloom 😃😃
St. David & the dragon. You slayed that one, yet somehow George is rewarded. What a battle!!
It certainly was a battle 😂😂😂👍
I'm so proud that you stuck it out and made this little rocking chair whole again! The Gilboy wax and oil is so nice. Please tell Daisy that her Auntie in the states has hypothyroidism, too! I'm also a bit overweight lol. Love and blessings to you and yours! 😊

Thanks 😃😃
Poor, sad chair remade with love for a new generation of rockers. What a beautiful job you’ve done. Thank you.
Thanks so much ❤️
Oh David, that is so lovely! All your blood, sweat and tears paid off in spades. I’m sure George and his family will treasure this chair for many years to come. Beautiful!
Thanks very much Marcia 😃❤️
This is a very very proud chair!!! This was a labor of love, and I hope George cherishes this piece. I do hope he is able to watch this video and while he does, he will feel the love created for him! Great job sir!
Thanks so much. I know my cousin has saved the video and will show George now but she's said he'll be seeing it when he's a little older too. 😃😃
What a FANTASTIC little rocker! Im sure George and his mum will love this special chair very much! You did a great job, thank you!❤❤
Thanks so much 😃❤️❤️
Aah David what a work of art. I would not have had the patience dedication and skill to achieve the results that you did. This is another masterpiece.
Thats really kind of you, thanks so much 😃😃
How Wonderful😍🥰George I’m sure will be uber excited with his new rockie. Aw David what a super patient guy you are. Labour of love right enough😲😲I so enjoy watching your restorations. Ohhhh and wee Daisy, give her a massive cuddle from me and a woof from my 2 puppers Roo & Barney🐶🐶🐶

Your patience is inspiring!
Thats very kind, thanks 😃😃
WOW.....absolutely beautiful. I need to find some Gilboys, it's a great finish. So glad you didn't give up on that chair though I wouldn't have blamed you if you did. I'm sure your cousin was more than pleased. My best to Daisy.
Hi Julie. If you click the link in the video description it'll take you to the Gilboys website. Lots of amazing products on there. Thanks so your continued support 😃🐶❤️
Wow! You took that chair from worse than trash to absolutely beautiful.
Thanks so much 😃❤️❤️
What a beautiful result from your labour of Hercules! 😊
I've just had a week like yours, what can go wrong, does go wrong, but you persevered and overcame every issue, and won the race. 👍
I'm sure George will be over the moon when he sees his own special chair, with duckies too! 🦆🦆🦆💖🤗
Thanks so much. We all get those weeks don't we, things can only get better 😃🐶❤️
A massive shout-out to Gilboys for taking care of us & our guy at Mayfield Restorations. The chair may have tested you, but the repair lessons you just passed on to your devoted viewers are priceless. Thanks David, you outdid yourself 🙌
Oh, and the duck fabric is spot on. Pat/Yukon, Canada🍁
Its an honour to be working with Gilboys. Simon is a Master Restorer!! So pleased you enjoyed the video and thanks for your continued support 😃❤️
Just beautiful. When you started, I thought you might just give up. But you persevered and did a wonderful job fixing and refinishing the wood and I just love the fabric you used on the seat - playful and not childish. Thank you for sharing your projects.
Thanks very much, glad you liked it 😃😃
You fought the chair, and the chair….l lost. Nice work. No doubt young George will love it. Maybe one day his young son will enjoy it as well.
I hope so too 👍👍
A lesson in patience. Wonderful work and beautiful finished product! Love the Gilboy promo.
Thanks very much 😃😃
Glad you didn’t give up and Daisy is adorable
Thanks very much 😃😃🐶👍
My dad and I knocked down two small oak chairs that had laid in a field in the desert for years. There was zero finish left and the wood had weathered down to grey fuzz..
Dad who had repaired or refinished mor chairs than anyone could count anymore had me lettering and key marking all the joints so we could re assemble them
They did go back together however we had to level the legs they were SO twisted
They have a special charm about them and I gained a real appreciation for my dads patience and love of old furniture
Thank you for your channel
Dads been gone for quite a while now
I really enjoy your dedication
And Daisy of course is a lovely girl
Thanks so much for sharing your lovely memories of your Dad. The Oak chairs sound amazing but I bet they were a lot of work. 😃❤️
This is gorgeous! The fabric is so cute & will grow with him! I'd say Teddy will he fighting over George's chair now 😂 i hope you get Daisys meds sorted wothout much trouble! Great work, love your channel
Thats really kind of you, thanks so much. Daisy is starting to feel much better thanks. 😃🐶❤️
@29 I would’ve used an Emory board to clean out that tight spot of the spindle 🥴 Praying Daisy gets better ❤️ David as usual you make something so hard look so easy. You sure are a great carpenter. This was so sweet. Just loved it ❤️🇺🇸
The material is precious ❤️and I love your reveal music 👍🏼That company that sent you all that product is spectacular and they sure know how show presentation
Thats really kind of you Jodi. Thanks so much for your lovely comments 😃🐶❤️
This was an adventure! I loved watching every bit of this. So well done. I have that same WD-40 sign!! Cheers mate 🥃
Hi Matt, thanks very much for persevering through this Lonnnnng video. 🤣 Cheers Buddy 🥃
Just wrote a comment and lost it****. Fabulous job David. Whoever said you can’t make a silk purse from a sows ear never watched you. Thank you Daisy for teaching you. Well done sir👏👏👌👌❤
What a wonderful lifetime gift for George!
😃❤️
It turned out amazing. Glad you didn't give up. Also Prayers for Daisy that get her meds all figured out
Thats really kind of you, thanks so much 😃🐶❤️
I love wayching you work, especially with old pieces. Tell Daisy that she is not alone. I have hypothyroidism also. Beautiful baby.
Thanks so much. I'm just happy that we now have a diagnosis for little Daisy, she's been having quite a few problems and its a shame for her 😃🐶❤️
You certainly had your work cut out for you. This chair had way too many issues, but you stuck with it and produced an absolutely "George-ous" work of art chair. And the fabric...wow, the perfect touch. Well done!
Thanks for your great comments, its much appreciated ❤️
The things we do for children! We hope they appreciate it! And remember what you did for them. I had a small table, chair, and a doll bed when I was little. The chair didn't survive, but the others did. I appreciated them more thru the years. I am now 78. My great granddaughter is now playing with these. Take heart. You have done good work!
Thanks so much 😃
I love the Duck Fabric! ❤
Thanks very much, I really liked it to ❤️
Your blood pressure is going to go up every time you see George's sweet rocking chair!
True! 🤣🤣👍
God bless Daisy! She’ll have a good life with the excellent care you give her 😊🩷🐶
You have the patience of a saint. The chair came out beautifully. Love the fabrics whimsical yet mature. Give Daisy a pet and let her know she has her own fans😊
This certainly tested that patience 🤣 Daisy is starting to get much better, I've told her all her fans are wishing her well 🤣❤️🐶
Oh, and the fabric is fabulous 😊
😃❤️
Love the fabric makes the chair pop!
Thanks, I love ducks 😃🦆❤️
When the troubles with children end, those with grandchildren begin. It's the cycle of life! Good thing you have Daisy to teach you how to get out of these troubles.😂
I'd be lost with out my little furry supervisor 🤣🐶❤️
Hi David, I hope that your little George loves you back the same and more and appreciates his bespoke rocking chair in the way you and it deserve. That is such a beautiful chair, obviously made with love and plenty of labour, cheers to you and much love to little gorgeous Daisy !!!!🥰😘👍👍👍🙏
Hi Frances. I haven't given it to George yet but taking it over next week. Emily has seen it though and told me she was crying at the video. ❤️ Thanks so much for your continued support, i really appreciate it 😃❤️🐶
Well, once again you hit another out of the park!!! Your work is perfection🥰
Thats really nice of you to say, thanks so much 😃😃
Wow!! ❤
😃❤️
Oh my goodness! A lot of work!! The end result is fantastic. I love the fabric. 🤞❤️🐕
Thanks so much 😃❤️
Right about 30 minutes into the video, had it been me, this chair would have made a nice warm fire. LOL You have the patience of Job. This little rocker turned out so nice. With all the troubles you were having I never thought it would come out like new, but it did! Okay, now for the whinge. In the words of my mother, and probably yours too, wear your safety glasses before you put your eye out! ❤
I am a patient man but this tested me to the limit. Glad i persevered though and I know I know, I should have had my specs on. Lesson learned 🤣❤️🐶
By George this was an awesome project! I love handmade and restored items that are labors of love! Teddy and George are so lucky to have you in their lives, as is Daisy (and all your viewers). ❤ to 🐕
What a lovely comment, thanks so much for your kind words ❤️❤️
What a lucky boy George is to get this chair! You did a wonderful job restoring it. I love the upholstery!!
Thanks so much 😃
I love this! Who knew a child’s rocker repair & restore would be so interesting?! As usual, I learned so much and it’s given me inspiration and respect for the 4 antique English oak kitchen chairs of mine that need some love (as well as respect for your skill and patience). Hope George loved his chair and that Daisy is doing well on her meds and CONGRATULATIONS on the Gilboy’s partnership! That must have felt great! Also, I love the ducks. Both whimsical and very tasteful. Bravo! 🎉
Thanks so much and I’m glad you enjoyed it. Your chairs sound lovely. George absolutely loves his chair and apparently he won’t sit anywhere else when he’s at home 🤣🤣❤️
I can't wait. My problem is that your today is my tomorrow and my today is your yesterday! That's what it's like living on the other side of the pond. 🙃Daisy understands. lol
I get notified in the morning that Daisy had an episode up yesterday, which I then had to wait to this evening to watch, by which time their today has caught up, but as I move into tomorrow, his today will become yesterday.
I'm totally lost now 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🐶❤️👍
Your corners look pretty darn good to me. The wood finish is beautiful! Job very well done. I really enjoyed this video. George is a fortunate little man to have such a caring person to love him.
Thats lovely of you to say Linda. Thanks so much for your support 😃❤️
What a special gift for George❤❤❤❤
😃❤️
With all the challenges of this chair, it has come out beautifully. Little George will be very happy 😊. Hello sweet Daisy girl. I love your work, David ❤
Thanks so much Myra 😃🐶❤️
Please tell everyone you know to subscribe to this remarkable man's channel!. I enjoy them all and dont even do this work. From a fan in Washington state USA.
Hi Janet. Thanks so much for your lovely comment. I hope people who watch my work feel the same and hit that Subscribe button 😃❤️
Friend, you have the patience of a Saint. You did an amazing job.
Wonderful, as always. One Lucky boy.👍🏼❤️
Thats very kind, thanks very much 😃❤️
I cannot believe you figured that out!!! Your patience is astounding 😊
😊 thank you. I very nearly gave up but I'm glad i persevered ❤️
Dave: Therapists are standing by...what an ordeal. Fortunate that the exploding wood shard missed your eye. But in the end, the chair from hell turned out heavenly.👍👍👍👍
Absolutely beautiful!
Thanks 😃
I feel really bad that I burst out laughing when the piece broke & flew! And again a few minutes later. However I've worked on multiple "non-professional" handmade pieces where everything was also just a bit of wonkie. The piece that almost drove me over the hill was a sewing stool. No matching piece matched any other matching piece. I ended up doing what you did cutting some pieces to make it more uniform. Thank you just so much for giving me a needed laugh.
Don't feel bad, I laughed at myself when i was editing the video 🤣🤣. I hope the next peice i'm working on doesn't end up like this chair or your sewing stool!! Fingers crossed 😃👍
You, sir, are brilliant in your restoration work!! Definitely like the ducks-they give the chair a childlike whimsy!!
Thats really kind of you, thanks very much 😃😃
