interesting direction to take a ODB/ ODR (one day restore). its a nice look at another way of telling a story. however, i miss the old ones where adam would talk to us through the builds. kinda reminded me of hanging out in my grandpas shop listening to his stories lol. thats being said the chair looks amazing good to see someone take the time to restore something that still had some life left in it.

And then it just turned into a time lapse video with some acoustic guitar. Not what I expected at all. If you can’t have the audio that was recorded becuase Adam was listening to licensed music I understand but that would have been preferable. Also I would have liked this to be filmed at Normal speed. Those are just my initial reaction.

Some years back I worked at a courthouse and sat on one of these chairs. One of the casters broke out of a leg and rather than fixing it, the maintenance man hauled it out to the dumpster. Somehow it ended up in my house ... I glued the caster back in and it has sat in my office ever since. I love the look and feel of it but it isn't something I can sit in very long. Despite the sculpted seat, it hurts to sit on it for very long. (This is a "I'm too fat." issue.) Great to see that you have one of your own and rebuilt it without removing its charm.

Great Find & restore! My grandfather had a chair like that in storage at his house. The center post was a large steel screw to adjust the height. He loved it & said it was the most comfortable office chair he had used. I remember using it for a week & hating it. It was heavy to move, constantly squeaked & hurt my butt & you would get grease on your pants from the screw. But I was young back then & it was not the right size for me.

@TBMAvenger 2 года назад

This by far is one of the best videos speaking to the fact of the throw away society's waste, without saying really anything. Those of us who see these discarded gems in the rough and then take the time to save them for repurposing are saving a little piece of a craftsman's history. I have several pieces of wood furniture in my house that were dumpster finds or end of someone's driveway. I repurpose oak and maple heavy duty pallets for creating many things to sell and use. Stuff that is surplus for me and sometimes that I fix, I put back out for the free pile for the next guy to enjoy. Nice work on the chair Adam. You should sponsor a dumpster find restoration challenge and offer up one of your desirable hammers or tools as a prize.

@MartinFluteCompany 2 года назад

Great build other than the finish. Tung oil applied that thick will never truly dry. The surface dries but the rest doesn't. If for any reason that chair gets very warm in the future anything that contacts if for a time will leave it's imprint on the finish. Tung oil must be applied very thin and dried well before adding the next coat. When the last coat is applied as an example a gunstock only needs one or two drops to completely cover the stock. The finish is amazing in terms of beauty and durability if applied correctly. Great Find Adam, nice job. For intricate work I use single strength broken glass to scrap off the old finish, requires only a light wisp of fine sanding.

@kurtkyre 2 года назад

I am literally working on a chair very much like this one today. I am just replacing the wheels with modern rubber ones that don't scratch my hardwood floors. Problem I have is the shafts and sleeves for the old wheels are like 5mm and the new shafts are 6mm. I'm in the process of widening the hole in the bottom of the chair for the new steel sleeves, and cutting a smaller aluminum sleeve bushing to go inside of that to ensure a good fit for the new shafts. That are also shorter than the original shafts. Fun.

I can only imagine it'd be extra useful if I wore makeup. It's insane how much space all of the little tubes, vials, brushes etc take up eventually. They're so small but if you use a lot you'll buy a lot but even if you don't that just means the ones you do get for gifts or whatever last a really, really long time. Every girl I've ever known has makeup scattered all over their room, even the tomboys that never seem to wear it. It's like makeup is just destined to become clutter if you don't go out of your way to obtain a place to organize it.

Adam, I've had a set of Klein lineman's pliers/cutters for several years. They have never failed to cut whatever needs cut'n. No bending or notching. With the long handles, the mechanical advantage is mine not the wire's. The plier part has an awesome grip. No slippage. Very sharply cut teeth with a ferrule crimper too. Can't be beat. For nearly $60 on the Amacazon, it's a tough swallow, but I'll only ever need the one. Same for my Fluke meter. Buy cheap and you'll buy forever. Buy quality and buy once.

I restored a chair almost just like this, the one I did had arms on it. It was from an over 100 year old post office in Findlay OH that is still in use. It had some random screws and wood patches from years of use. Someone too heavy for it sat in it and snapped the chair off of the support post and they were going to throw it away. I took it and put it all back together, cleaned it and as far as I know, is still in the office being displayed. The neat part was that it was a swivel chair and had a big marble on top of the feet post (in a round indent) and the chair pretty much slipped over the top of the post to hold it all together. I’m gonna have to check in on that chair and see if it’s still around.

I ended up getting an A in my shop class and didn't have to do any of those stupid projects like building a birdhouse in shop.

Every time I watch a video like this I pick up a thing for two. This time I picked up to put the spring in a little cup for Evaporust. I would have just filled the tub up to cover the spring. Thank you, Adam and the Tested team. I have my demerit badges up on the wall displayed proudly.
