How to restore an old chair with cheap tools (for beginner)

In this video I will be showing how to restore an old chair with cheap tools. I made this video as sequence for my most popular video which I made a year ago and which got over million views. It was about simple farm table restoration, where I also showed different machines and how to use them for newbies. I got a lot of criticism, because I used a lot of expensive gear. So this time I decided to go different way and work with cheap tools and show how to work with them.
MY FAVOURITE TOOLS:
Kärcher steam cleaner: amzn.to/3jltvLf
Bessey edge clamps: amzn.to/3A6i7K3
Dovetail jig: amzn.to/2VeM7Vw
Workshop vacuum: www.amazon.com....
Random orbital sander: amzn.to/3A925PK
Oscillating Spindle Sander amzn.to/3lq9t4X
Camera: amzn.to/3e5CG0V

This chair is actually very old copy of Luterma factory chair, which was very popular here in Estonia in the beginning of 20 century. The original cost a months salary for poor people, so many people tried to copy that, instead of buying original chair.

Oh, and the way you fixed thae rungs...Awesome!

@thiggy1249 3 года назад

I am pleased to see that you repaired and refinished the chair without losing its character as an old well-used piece of furniture.

@GiniaChristina Месяц назад

You truly are one of the best restorers I’ve seen! Your skills are impeccable especially after I watched you and your apprentice “ Ahti” repair the chair from the war with the piece of shrapnel lodged in it! That poor chair was so crooked and beat up and you brought it back to its former glory! Thank you for restoring pieces back to what they should be without using all the major short cuts for a quick fix!!! They will all last for another hundred plus yrs…awesome work

@ransomdaniels8395 3 года назад

Its too bad I'm nearly 85 or I'd be after you...amazing skill and knowledge, great sense of humor and you're adorable!...and again I learned something new. The folded sandpaper, the stain and the sanding rather than sawing for perfect fit, which I will try on my current project. Admirable! These may be small, well known techniques used by many others but I'm still learning. Well done! And thanks for sharing!😊

@shinyribs2178 3 года назад

I learned a lot on your channel in general, and I just learned three new tricks just in this video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Respect from America

@ereksherin3243 3 месяца назад

I think your work is outstanding and somewhat unique. Your presentation is excellent - always. Infusing it with gentle and practical humor is a wonderful strategy. I wholeheartedly encourage you to make more direct instructional videos. Perhaps on just veneering. Or just repairing broken or damaged pieces or parts. You probably have contemplated offering courses. If so I believe they would be well received. Folks would gladly pay to Lear from an experienced professional who knows how to present his work, his workmanship, his techniques and ultimately himself.

Great video to watch on restoring an old chair. I am doing a joint project with my wife for the first time to restore a 50 year+ old chair that we didn't want to throw away and nobody wanted.. Thanks for all the tips, I'll be looking to implement many of them.. As the English say: Waste not, want not..

When you was brushing stain onto the new wood, wondered if the can had been sitting on shelf too long. ( It appeared to act as though wood had slick surface) but was you wiped off excess, seemed as though wood did absorb sufficient amount. Thank you for showing your skills.😊

@FixingFurniture 3 года назад

3:18 FYI - cutting on table saw without a fence, miter gauge, or sled is an invitation for a table saw accident. The safe way to cut that is with a jig. I enjoy you’re videos so hope this keeps you safe. Scott

@bezzerwizzer6448 2 года назад

Thank godness, no paint. YT is full of video's from people who say they "restore" a old piece...and then stuff it with paint. I mean...its not a big task, to hide everything with paint. To restore, on the other hand, it is so many tips and tricks to learn , so much to understand. Its art, in my opinion. To paint a forniture, thats not what one can call "restoring" , not really , it look more like re invent something, right?...And when i see people take a beautiful old furniture, with gorgeous whole wood in it, and just cover it all up...i feel like its kind of destroyed, not restored... I love it, when one try to make the piece look like it did when it was new. The one who made it once a long time ago,is respected. When one can see the unik pattern of the wood. It makes me feel so...content, sort of. And its so much to learn about too... Thank you !

@erzincanli 2 года назад

The real deal restoration is keep the pieces original as much as it can. I saw many of your works and if I were you, I would stripped the top of the veneer from sitting font and flattened with a little steam, glued on a new hard piece after a light sand then glued on it's place. You would catch approximately the same color with frame. This would worked on 600 drill holes chair also.

I just love watching you do your beautiful charm on these old pieces (antique’s). The chair turned out perfect. I have a thing for old chairs. Those so many styles of them. Have a question. I notice you always shellac after your done. My question is, what exactly is shellac? Do you make your own or can you pay it? I’ve always used a acrylic water base type of varnish. I want to learn to do it right. Thanks so much for your videos, love em!! ♥️😊👍👍

@ATRestoration 2 года назад

Shellac is created by worms. It is like brown flaky substance, that is dissolved in spirit. It was widely used between 1849-1940. After that , synthetic laquers arrived.

@journeymantraveller3338 3 года назад

Helps to have fresh wood surface on a glue joint. You can handplane ply edges - just avoid tearout at ends. Kero for woodworm or microwave pieces.

Вы используете в своей работе белый клей ПВА и густой коричневый. В чем различия в их применении?

@lourias 3 года назад

I think that was a good idea to split the wood at an angle to get the new wood to fit into the notches. I am curious as to why you did not reinforce the wood along the front rail after you sliced the new piece. Perhaps I am just the one person who habitually tries to prop my feet on anything near by me. I will be using your idea in the future.

@ATRestoration 3 года назад

Yes you can do that, when needed. This rail is too high to hold your legs on it.

@lourias 3 года назад
