You are an amazing craftsman. I could watch you all day. I watch other people repair items but you are by far the best. I am not just saying that, I just started watching your channel a few weeks ago. Please don’t stop.
I just love watching you restore furniture. I’m also amazed at how you match up the staining to perfection. I guess that comes from years of practice. You are a master at what you do. ♥️♥️😊👍👍
Ah the joys of cyanoacrylate! They didn't think to move stuff out of the way? First thing you do in a customer's home is to move any possessions out of the way. Rocket science it is not! Lovely job....again!
Tell me about it. When we had the roof replaced last year, the workers broke a lamp post, a bicycle, the chest where we keep the pillows for the deck sofa, the bloody smart door handle (I think they used it as a foothold for climbing), at least one plant box, and probably more stuff that I don't remember. They consistently didn't tell us about any of it. We had to discover everything by ourselves. When they cut an electric wire, they did tell us, because they were afraid that it was live (it was, but the circuit breaker did its thing). Some of the things, they made a token effort to repair, after we confronted them about it. After they were done, nails, cigarette butts and various scrap kept appearing around the house for months. Needless to say, the next time we need something done with the house, we'll be calling someone else.
@@Hagledesperado holy moly! Dreadful. Accidents happen despite ones best efforts but, you tell the customer and put it right promptly, or pay for it to be put right. It's the honourable thing to do. Trouble is, some companies put their staff under such pressure that they have to rush too much and they get careless and clumsy. Some are incompetent and some just don't care. In my experience, 99% of trades care a huge amount about you, your property and possessions.
Yeah, the guys on the roof were "imported labour" so I'm guessing that they were under a lot of pressure for little pay. But hamfistedness and responsibility dodging aside, they actually did decent work with the roof. Unlike their solar panel electrician, a local, who did the ugliest wiring I've seen, in part because he wasn't fit enough to use the ladders and scaffolding to route the cable properly. My guess is he also didn't give a damn because mentally he had already retired. Oh well, as I said, I won't be giving them any more business. As a relatively fresh homeowner, I guess it takes a few years to learn whom to hire or avoid for jobs like this.
If one of the side U shape details is broken, there is no point repairing it, but if there is something else, then its doable. The thing with such furniture is, that if the repair is more expensive than the new one, the client is not motivated to pay for that.
When we take the time to consider the good old days of manufacturing, it might be that the craftsmanship of the 1800's was the best. Unless you build for yourself. Nothing lasted from the 1950's, the time of new inventions. Is this century any different?
Thx for your fast answer, i was hoping for that. The video is mostly too bad in quality to recognize the spezifik kind of wood from the video alone.( it's bad quality on my end, not yours)
What I just don’t get is how they dropped something on a chair. I mean, I know how they did it, but it is remarkably easy to NOT drop something on a chair. Rule #1: Get the breakables out of the way. Require the homeowners to do so. Done.
That is one ugly chair. Dont get me wrong restauration was perfect, but this ugly basic chairs we have on piles. I think i still have like 12 to 14 of this pre war chairs in village.
Amazing restoration! Every single item you fix is done to perfection! I reallyyyyyy enjoy your videos, and get so excited each time you post a new one. Thank you for making them!
Із задоволенням третій тиждень дивлюсь на роботу справжнього майстра реставрації і кожного разу пізнаю щось нове і про процес реставрації, і про майстра. Поєднання високопрофесійних навичок і знань із тонким гумором не кожному дано. Привіт з України!!!
Beautiful old chair with nice lines. I’m glad you could save it. If I hadn’t watched you do the repair, no one would be able to convince me it was done. Great work!🤗🐝❤️
Ай, да маэстро! И насмешил тонким юмором, и испугал падением стула, и удивил снова блестящим конечным результатом! Восторг и восхищение за артестизм и мастерство! 👍👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯😂😘
You restored it once? "Now it's time to do it right" funny in this context ... "Now it's time to do it PERFECT"... "So I decided to make a new one".... easiest choice of all.... PERFECTION!!!
Great job. The chair looks wonderful. You do a good job clearly showing the steps of restoration. PS: Didn't your mother tell you not to lean back in a chair?
New sub because you deserve it and i love learning from your abilities. Others would toss the pieces and go for much easier pieces to update. Not you, there is hope in every piece you see. Very impressive!
Loved the surprized look when discovering the brake. Love when you have fun. But the color matching and finishing bring me the biggest joy. So satisfying!
Sr. your work is so professional and carefull and clean! It is just wonderfull and inspiring. I was thinking If some day you could show us more of your skills and patience making a rocking chair from scratch.
Chairs are the things that hold us. Therefore special attention goes into materials and workmanship. And grain matters around stress areas. Technically and aesthetically great work! Thanks. (I had no doubts when you tested the chair.)
