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. ❤️❤️
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!!!
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.
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.
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 😃🐶❤️
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 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.
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.
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
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!!
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!
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. ❤
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.
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 !
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 ❤
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 😃
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!
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!
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. 😃🐶❤️
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'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! 😊
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👏👏👌👌❤
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!! 🤣🤣❤️
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!
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 😃❤️
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.
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, 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 😃❤️🐶
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!
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🍁
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 😃❤️🐶
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.
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😊
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 🐕
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 😃🐶🐶🐶❤️
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!
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.😂
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!
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 😃🐶❤️
This little rocker has been completely rebuilt. What a transformation. Not only is it beautiful, but it is SAFE for George to rock himself in. I know you were very frustrated with this rocker, but a handmade piece like this deserved the extra love and attention you gave it. I'm so happy that you didn't give up on it, though I would not have blamed you. It had so many challenges. You did an awesome job! The love for your family shines as bright as the finish on the rocking chair. WELL DONE!!!
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
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 ❤
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! ❤
You are so patient, but the results were outstanding! I’m quite a novice at restoring furniture but I opted to use Gilboy’s Hard Wax Oil. The finish turned out beautiful and it was extremely easy to apply.
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.
This nightmare rocker is a challenge project! But you defeated it to best it could be fixed. The problem began at its first creation, nothing can fix that….. perhaps it was a first project for one just learning. That said you have done a fabulous job with it. The wax, oh my goodness amazing, I see why you like it so much. George is a fortunate little lad..
It certainly was Mum but he's worth it. Emily is busy this week but she's watched the video and said she was crying 🤣🤣. I'll take some pics of him when i give it to him ❤️❤️❤️
Another "wow" restoration! This rocker will be one to cherish for generations to come. I love watching you bring new life to these pieces. Daisy is as charming as always. What a girl!
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.
That was a labor of love to be sure. You have the patience of a saint! The end result was spectacular. The wax and stain were a wonderful compliment to the rocker. Good on you !!!
Talk about a labour of love and kudo‘s to your inner Rottweiler that didn’t let go! You have the patience of a saint and it paid off. The fabric is gorgeous and she is a beauty now. George is one lucky young lad. Crazy miss Daisy did her part by bringing love and smiles to us with her antics.. a real diva, that one. She doesn’t like to be ignored now, does she. I bet she probably lost a whole 100grams with all her zoomies. You can’t accuse the girl of not trying to loose some weight.😂😂😂❤ thanks for the great videos.
Thanks so much for your support. Daisy was certainly on form whilst i was restoring this chair. She has actually lost a bit of weight so hopefully the tablets are starting to work 😃🐶❤️
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 love the ducks!!! Whew....that was definitely a labor of love. I saw the the one runner has a twisted diagonal grain. That is what messed it up. It was cut on a diagonal grain. Daisy has not lost her spark nor energy. I hope she does well on her meds. That was a long video but you had me glue to what was going on. A round of applause for your fortitude!
Aww thanks for such a lovely comment and i'm so glad the video wasn't too long for you. I was a little worried people would get bored. Thanks as always for your support 😃🐶❤️
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. ❤️❤️
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 😃❤️
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.
❤❤❤
😃❤️
😃🐶❤️
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.
George is a lucky boy! That rocker is a work of heart. I love the ducks.
I love that, "A Work of Heart", brilliant 😃❤️
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 😃🐶❤️
Healing energy for Daisy! Hope she is back to the peak of health soon! 💖
🐶😃❤️
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 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 😃🐶❤️
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 😃❤️🐶
That turned out beautiful… The fabric is perfect for it❤❤❤. And I just love Daisy. She’s a real sweetheart.
😃🐶❤️❤️
When George is older, he’s going to look at this video and be so proud of you. Amazing work.
I hope so, thanks 😃😃
Second that! ❤
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 🤣🤣
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. 😃🐶❤️
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'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 😃😃❤️🐶
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 😃😃
How beautiful.!.thank you for sharing your adventures in restoration. Love and hugs for Daisy. ♥️🤗🐶
Thank YOU for watching and giving me your support 😃🐶❤️
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. ❤
David, your patience and persistence is a testament to the kind of guy you are.

Thank you for being the best of RUclips !
Awww what an amazing comment, thanks so much for your support 😃🐶❤️❤️
Looks fantastic! Love the fabric on the seat. It was worth all the time you put into it.
Thanks so much 😃😃

Thanks so much, I'll give that a try because she is prone to Yeast infection in one of her ears. 😃🐶❤️
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! 🤣🤣
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!
Thanks so much Katharine, thats really kind of you to say and much appreciated 😃❤️
You've turned that pile of kindling into a delightful family heirloom!
It almost got used as kindling!!🤣🤣
Now I want to design and build a chair that is thin AF! ❤
It was rather delicate 🤣🤣👍❤️
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 😃❤️
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. 😃🐶❤️
Gorgeous duck fabric! Love it - great choice :) Your perseverance paid off! So glad Daisy will be OK
Thank you! 😊🐶❤️
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 😃😃
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! 😊
Thats a lovely comment, thanks so much. 😃🐶❤️
St. David & the dragon. You slayed that one, yet somehow George is rewarded. What a battle!!
It certainly was a battle 😂😂😂👍
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 😃
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👏👏👌👌❤

I absolutely love that duck fabric. Good choice
Thanks so much 😃😃
Poor, sad chair remade with love for a new generation of rockers. What a beautiful job you’ve done. Thank you.
Thanks so much ❤️
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!❤❤

Thats really kind of you, thanks so 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 ❤️
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 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 🤣❤️🐶
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 ❤️❤️
Just exceptional, exceptional work! Congratulations on a beautiful job and best wishes to George and his family. 😊
Thats so kind, thanks very much Nancy 😃❤️
God bless Daisy! She’ll have a good life with the excellent care you give her 😊🩷🐶
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 😃🐶🐶🐶❤️
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 ❤️
Your patience is inspiring!
Thats very kind, thanks 😃😃
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 🤣🐶❤️
Absolutely beautiful! Loved the fabric x
Thanks Amanda 😃🐶❤️
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 😃
Glad you didn’t give up and Daisy is adorable
Thanks very much 😃😃🐶👍
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 😃🐶❤️
I love the upholstery !!
Thanks, I really liked it too 😃❤️
This little rocker has been completely rebuilt. What a transformation. Not only is it beautiful, but it is SAFE for George to rock himself in. I know you were very frustrated with this rocker, but a handmade piece like this deserved the extra love and attention you gave it. I'm so happy that you didn't give up on it, though I would not have blamed you. It had so many challenges. You did an awesome job! The love for your family shines as bright as the finish on the rocking chair. WELL DONE!!!
What a lovely comment, thanks so much Karen 😀🐶❤️❤️
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. 😃🐶❤️
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 😃🐶❤️
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 😃😃
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 😃🐶❤️
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 🥃
A lesson in patience. Wonderful work and beautiful finished product! Love the Gilboy promo.
Thanks very much 😃😃
Just another lovely job!
Thanks 😃😃
George is a Lucky Duck! That chair is just ducky 🦆 🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆👏🏼
He is a Ducky Boy 🤣🤣❤️
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 🤣❤️🐶
Well, once again you hit another out of the park!!! Your work is perfection🥰
Thats really nice of you to say, thanks so much 😃😃
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 👍👍
You are so patient, but the results were outstanding! I’m quite a novice at restoring furniture but I opted to use Gilboy’s Hard Wax Oil. The finish turned out beautiful and it was extremely easy to apply.
Thanks so much. I agree with you about the Gilboys products, very simple but with great results 😃😃
Wow! You took that chair from worse than trash to absolutely beautiful.
Thanks so much 😃❤️❤️
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 lucky boy George is to get this chair! You did a wonderful job restoring it. I love the upholstery!!
Thanks so much 😃
This nightmare rocker is a challenge project! But you defeated it to best it could be fixed. The problem began at its first creation, nothing can fix that….. perhaps it was a first project for one just learning. That said you have done a fabulous job with it. The wax, oh my goodness amazing, I see why you like it so much. George is a fortunate little lad..
Thanks so much Cathie. I was really pleased how it eventually turned out 😃❤️
Your blood pressure is going to go up every time you see George's sweet rocking chair!
True! 🤣🤣👍
I can’t wait to see how George reacts when you take it him. This was definitely a labour of love xx
It certainly was Mum but he's worth it. Emily is busy this week but she's watched the video and said she was crying 🤣🤣. I'll take some pics of him when i give it to him ❤️❤️❤️
Love the fabric makes the chair pop!
Thanks, I love ducks 😃🦆❤️
I love the Duck Fabric! ❤
Thanks very much, I really liked it to ❤️
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 😃🐶❤️
Another "wow" restoration! This rocker will be one to cherish for generations to come. I love watching you bring new life to these pieces. Daisy is as charming as always. What a girl!
Thanks very much 😃🐶❤️❤️
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 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🐶❤️👍
I love that chair. I'm sure George will love it too 😉
Thanks so much 😃
That was a labor of love to be sure. You have the patience of a saint! The end result was spectacular. The wax and stain were a wonderful compliment to the rocker. Good on you !!!
Thanks very much 😀❤️
David, this one tested your patience! But, you made it through. EXCELLENT WORK as usual ❤🤩
It certainly did 🤣😃🐶❤️
What a special gift for George❤❤❤❤
😃❤️
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 😃😃
Wow!! ❤
😃❤️
Oh my goodness! A lot of work!! The end result is fantastic. I love the fabric. 🤞❤️🐕
Thanks so much 😃❤️
What a wonderful lifetime gift for George!
😃❤️
Talk about a labour of love and kudo‘s to your inner Rottweiler that didn’t let go! You have the patience of a saint and it paid off. The fabric is gorgeous and she is a beauty now. George is one lucky young lad.
Crazy miss Daisy did her part by bringing love and smiles to us with her antics.. a real diva, that one. She doesn’t like to be ignored now, does she. I bet she probably lost a whole 100grams with all her zoomies. You can’t accuse the girl of not trying to loose some weight.😂😂😂❤ thanks for the great videos.
Thanks so much for your support. Daisy was certainly on form whilst i was restoring this chair. She has actually lost a bit of weight so hopefully the tablets are starting to work 😃🐶❤️
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 love the ducks!!! Whew....that was definitely a labor of love. I saw the the one runner has a twisted diagonal grain. That is what messed it up. It was cut on a diagonal grain. Daisy has not lost her spark nor energy. I hope she does well on her meds. That was a long video but you had me glue to what was going on. A round of applause for your fortitude!
Aww thanks for such a lovely comment and i'm so glad the video wasn't too long for you. I was a little worried people would get bored. Thanks as always for your support 😃🐶❤️
