This is the kind of thing I want to see on the internet, and which woldn't be possible without it. A German, an Italian and an Estonian do a challenge, comunicating in english. Great stuff! PS: Ab ca. 5:50 sind Ton und Bild extrem unsynchron.

I love Biedermeyer furniture. So lovely!! All of you have gone above and beyond on these restorations.

Great job! I may have voted for AT, but truly it was us, the viewers, who won this competition.

excellent work, very nice restoration, but I have to give my vote to AT Restoration. Keep up the good work and at another time, I will give you a thumbs up! 😉👍👍

Really beautiful result! Those springs sure looked like a headache to put in! My mom has told me how much she loved the Biedermeier chairs her grandma had in Hungary. She said the fabric was really colourful, but I’m guessing that they had been reupholstered. I think that the generations of people who had and loved these chairs would be pleased with your result ❤️

I think the challenge should not stop there. You could have each of you 3 restorations to do, one easy, one medium, one hard, this one was hard... complex !

Also a excellent restauration with great result. I think you are all three very good in what you do.

I've seen some of your videos before. I'm now subscribed. Loved the challenge! Please do more. The three of you do such beautiful work.

Hallo, Das war aber schon die Hohe Kunst des Restaurierens, Intarsien ergänzen und neu setzen. Toll, das Du Dir diese Arbeit mit so viel Geschick und Liebe zum Detail machst. Danke fürs Dabeisein.

This was great, and it’s courageous of you to do something new. Really lovely work, as always with you, to a high standard. I will keep watching.🇨🇦💕

Восхищена!!! Благодарю! Удачи и удовлетворения!🙏

You actually did restore this chair which is great. You will get better with time and it will become easier for you. First time is always a learning curve. lol You realized your errs and tried to fix them too. Great job

Просто чудо, великолепно. Мастер который имеет золотые руки.

Meinen Daumen hast du schon sicher. Deine Entwicklung vom ersten Objekt bis jetzt und die stetig neuen Fertigkeiten, die du einbringst, sind vorbildlich und eine Inspiration für jeden Hobbyhandwerker. Auch das Video ist wieder toll geschnitten. Ich wünsche euch allen drei viele Zuschauer und eine ständig steigende Reichweite. 👍👍👍👍👍

I like your attention to the details. You get an A+ for your effort.

you get my vote all 3 of you are masters of the craft the difference is you do almost everything by hand. and without a lot of fancy tools, a true craftsman.

Most Biedermeier chairs have piping trim. The modern, plain upholstery fabric and machine-made nailhead trim takes away from the beauty of your wonderful restoration. Your skills are always improving. That upholstery job was a real challenge. I love to watch you.

Quelle merveille ! Vous pouvez être fier de vous ! Vous avez du talent et vous êtes minutieux et je sais de quoi je parle ! 👏👏✨✨

Wonderful to watch once again I can’t choose all three of you are winners .. A joy to watch you work

This is some of the best restoration that I have seen! Beautifully done!

Incredible result. A great job. 🤞😅

An old beauty brought back to it's former glory. Great work.

Un cambio espectacular, ha quedado muy bonita. Felicidades. 👏👏

Most enjoyable video! Your repairs were so interesting and so were the placement of the springs. I know very little about restoration but so enjoy watching someone so knowledgeable! You did a beautiful job!

I am no wood worker but I do know a job well done!!!thank you for sharing your talents with us!!!God Bless!!!

I'm impressed by your skills at replacing the seating. Great job.

Such a fabulous piece. So much work and it really paid off. Great job. It's glorious now.

Vc merece todos os elogios👏👏👏👏ficou perfeito. Parabéns

A fabulous restoration. A beautiful chair. My favorite style. Carol from California

Now that I have seen the other videos in the contest... you are the winner ✌👍🎖!!! It doesn't matter you didn't have so much likes - it is YOUR work that is the most careful and the most respectful to the original manufacture and looks of this old chair. Had it any feelings, it would be quite pleased ☺. Anyway, I am, for sure. Once again: my compliments 👌!!

❤ trabalho muito lindo! Me encanta muito essa Arte da Restauração.

The chair is gorgeous. Great job of restoration. I once restored an antique chair, but I used a heavy foam cushion for the seat on top of a plywood support that I used for the base instead of webbing. It wasn't a kosher restoration, but it turned out beautifully and everyone admired it. I gave it to my daughter and her father-in-law claimed it for himself. He spent many a happy year sitting in that chair before he passed.

Прекрасная реставрация. Мастеру лайк, спасибо за видос.

Loved your upholstery and the inlay. Such detail, and traditional methods. However I vote for AT as he put more time into the structural strength of the chair. But wow. Loved your efforts

Holy cow! I did not know so much work went into those chairs! Beautifully done! Lyn

This was the most challenging restore and the most beautiful. In my opinion

Excellent job. I love Beidermeier furniture. You did this chair proud. Well done.

Great job. Big plus for upholstery. It looks very complex.

Przepiękne jest te krzesłko odrestaurowane pozdrawiam twórcę tego filmiku serdecznie 👍👍👍👍

Beautiful restoration and you did an amazing job restoring it as well!!! Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

Perfecto, bien realizado felicidades

Bardzo ładnie wyszło. Zdrowia i powodzenia życzę.

Biedermeier pieces are my favorite to see restored. The use of various interesting wood-grains in veneers, colors in paints and stains, and the almost modernistic styles is fascinating to me. Such pieces are rare today, possibly because furniture styles changed so drastically after this trend and the use of veneers resulted in such damage to them.

I love when you must take off damaged veneer, and then save the small pieces to restore other parts of the furniture. Such care is moving, I have no other word. I love old furniture, the amount of history embedded in them, and I'm still trying to find HERE traditional products (as you have), like some kinds of glues, lacquers, waxes, to preserve them as original as I can. Alas, we are a too modern country, and poor, it means there is nothing of the sort here, and importing them is quite impo$$ible 🙄. Still trying to do my best, even if doesn't come close to what YOU do, not just because of appropriate insumes and tools - but your skill!! Wonderful 😳🤩. Humble compliments!

Wow, great job! You upholstered like a pro.

Excellent work, good subject for your skill demonstration and a beautiful piece, but I have to give the like to AT restoration for his crazy difficult submission. This is a very good second and something to be proud of!

удивляюсь вашему мастерству и терпению успехов вам

Fantastic craftsmanship, if i hadn't seen it, i wouldn't have believed it.

Magnifique comme d.hab bravo!

Such beautiful craftsmanship.

Great job. So much better! Love the fabric!

Good job for trying the upholstery with the springs for the first time. I would give you a like for this restoration if it wasn’t a contest, especially since you are a Landsman. If you have watched Ahti’s video, I think you would have to agree who the winner is.

For not having done upholstery, you did a beautiful job. I so love it.

Muy buena restauración. Mi voto repartido, entre los tres

Beautiful results ❤

Great job - I love the idea of a challenge between channels! The work you did on the veneer was great and you showed that no piece of furniture deserves to go to the landfill if at least some parts are still solid. Keep up the good work (I think Ahti won this challenge, but you get a thumbs up nontheless, because this was inspiring!). I have one request: please keep written information on the screen longer, it's sometimes hard to read everything before it disappears.

Let us be honest, this was a competition for 2nd place. AT Restoration cannot be challenged. But your work is also very nice, I could not come nowhere close. Nice chair and you can be proud of yourself.

la silla ha quedado una maravilla

Lovely chair!!! Keep up the good work!!!

So many meticulous repairs beautifully done. ❤🎉😊

Great work! A little hint on your english translation: in the german language the word "Federn" (engl. feathers) is used s for the outer cover, plumage, of birds and also for metallic devices that can be compressed and expanded. The english word for the latter term is "spring". So you put in to the chair new springs, not feathers.

Великолепно!!!👏👏👏

Beautiful job with the inlaid banding!

How splendid!!...very Stylish indeed...thank you...dgp/uk

Omg, that was amazing, I look forward to watching the other videos of the challenge. My vote down below. Love the challenge. I am having a hard time deciding the winner. It is between Chrigun Restoration and AT Restoration. Both of you are my favorite restorers. Both your expertise is out of this world. If I was younger I would study your techniques but I am not a Craftsman or even wood work. Boy did I ever miss out in high school, I would of taken wood and metal shop! :)

Très beau boulot. C'est toujours un plaisir de vous voir à l'œuvre.

Muito bom todos os três trabalhos, mas meu voto vai para o AT Restoration por considerar que a cadeira estava mais "estragada" e a restauração ficou muito boa! Abraço!

That is an incredible video. Such talent & skill.👏👏

There is something wonderful about saving an old chair or any furniture from the junk pile …

Those springs ("feathers") looked way too thick for this application the minute you showed them, so I'm not surprised at all that they gave you difficulty! I'm not an expert, just someone who has watched quite a lot of this kind of work. Have you seen Ahti do reupholstery? It never looks easy, even though it's clear he knows what he's doing at every stage and it always comes out perfect. What I'm saying is, you did a brave thing in trying this out for the first time on a challenge, and the seat came out far better at the end than I was afraid it would when I first saw those springs. 💜 Both you and Il Makerstauratore have a new subscriber thanks to this fun challenge.

Wow it's absolutely beautiful. Well done

You work is good, for the first time. Congratulations,

Beautiful job but AT had a great restore. I’ll enjoy watching you in my future.😊

Wow. Great restoration.

Wow, the restoration was perfect, congratulations, it was very beautiful. 💜💜💜

I love your work! You're the best!

You are all very good. Chrgun restoration is the best.

Great restoration. Other guys done also good job, but you are different league.

amazing restoration.

Вы большой мастер !!

まさに、職人技‼️ぐっど👍

Beautiful Restoration good job bro

I guess I messed things up by giving all three of you a thumbs up. I also was introduced to another restoration channel.

Nice job and congratulations with your first covering

Wouah, beau travail d'artiste, bravo, ne laissez pas le métier se perdre s'il vous plaît, 😁❤️👍

Привет коллега, работа проделана большая, сложная, очень сложная. Самое сложная часть работы, это закрепить пружины и наполнение. Столярные работы выполнить проще, значительно проще, чем классическую обивку с пружинами. Из за того что классическая реставрация процесс сложный, а получаемый результат не всегда радует. Антиквары и сотрудники музея лучше и ПРАВИЛЬНО оценят результаты выполненых работ с этим стулом. Я не имею цели обидеть мастера, мне лично не нравится как подготовлена поверхность под лак. Я уверен поверхность должна быть ровной и гладкой. А мебель должна выглядеть как новая. (Шеллаком этого не добиться) По этому я занимаюсь только восстановлением мебели и в работе применяю только современные инструменты и материалы. С уважением ваш коллега и подписчик. П.с. я не говорю на английском, только русский. ---- Hello colleague, a lot of work has been done, difficult, very difficult. The most difficult part of the job is to fix the springs and filling. Carpentry is easier to do, much easier than the classic upholstery with springs. Due to the fact that classical restoration is a complex process, and the result is not always pleasing. Antiquarians and museum staff will better and CORRECTLY evaluate the results of the work done with this chair. No offense, I have no purpose to offend the master, I personally do not like how the surface is prepared for varnish. I'm sure the surface should be smooth and even. And the furniture should look like new. (Shellac will not achieve this) For this reason, I am engaged only in the restoration of furniture and use only modern tools and materials in my work. Sincerely, your colleague and subscriber. PS I don't speak English.

Браво! 👏👏👏

Já vi que vai virar uma jóia gratidão 🎉😂

Hi, very nice result. Love it! 😀

You did a great job. Love it ❤❤❤❤❤

Amazing work!

Great restoration. Have seen AT's entry now on to the final competitor.

🤩 MAGNIFIQUE !!!🥰

Awesome work!!!

Nice work. Great to see you trying something new.

Wow! Great job!

Very well done, what a beautiful end result. How long did it take from start to finish? Your close-up (macro) videography, lighting & sound quality is excellent, I appreciate seeing things done slowly so I have time to think about your process. I had to rewind/pause when there was printing on the screen as it disappeared before I could read it all... but overall, I enjoyed watching your work & am now a new subscriber (a novice from Yukon, Canada) Cheers! 🍻

Well done on doing things you’ve never done before during a challenge. I gave you a thumbs up! I found you through AT and you now have a new subscriber. 👍🏻😊

Нельзя сказать что работа идеальная. Ноооо, вполне прилично. 4+=5- )))
