Watch how rare antique chair is restored 

What I LOVE BEST about your videos, besides the extraordinary work, is that you don’t talk over everything you do. As viewers, we can see it, and your typed messages perfectly explain the finer details. In a world filled with so many people talking, this is such a relief. Thank you.

This gentleman is not merely a restorer. He is a master craftsman. You can tell a lot by a craft person’s workshop and his is as immaculate as he himself is.

I love how you restore things by taking the time to actually replace material where it's been broken, eaten away or otherwise damaged. So many other "restoration" videos "restore" pieces by making the end result nothing like the original piece assuming because they don't want to invest the time or possess the skill to do so. I've picked up so many incredibly useful tips and tricks watching your videos.

One of the best restorations I’ve seen yet! I have no words…

Насколько же надо любить свою работу, чтобы так бережно и с уважением относиться к прекрасным работам прошлого,восстанавливая и возвращая их к новой жизни. Ведь они создавались мастерами-краснодеревщиками, которые вложили свой труд и квалификацию в то, что чудом дошло до нашего времени. Спасибо маэстро за ваш труд. 👍👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯💯💥💥💥

I see patience, love and respect of materials used. These attributes are very much lacking in our society nowadays. A marvellous restoration work.

Your restoration process is wonderful. I love how you let your work speak and not the other way around. I love learning from you. Thank you for all you do.

Смотрю Ваши видео - не перестаю восхищаться! В каждом стуле - сокровище! И это сокровище - руки и душа мастера!!! Всего Вам доброго!

Такой стул,грех не отреставрировать,ведь это чистый модерн!!!Молодец мастер, что не бросил стул!!!Респект и уважуха!!!!

3 months ago I hoped that this channel will hit 1000 subs by the summer of 2021. Now its almost 10K !😍😍😍 Thanks for your support guys!

I have learned so much from you! I appreciate the nontalking, too. The typed comments are enough. Dana

Золотые руки мастера! Вспоминаю деда - краснодеревщика, которого запомнила моментами в 3-4 года. Такого мастерства я давно не видела, практически ювелирная работа! Такое точное исполнение сейчас делают редко. Браво! Срочно подписываюсь на канал ! 🙂 Сделайте пожалуйста в настройках перевод на русские субтитры 🙏

Приятно смотреть, когда руки растут из правильного места.

I so enjoy watching you restore these pieces. You maintain the original design with such expertise. You are truly gifted at what you do.

Вы реставрируете с любовью, тщанием, аккуратностью. Это замечательное искусство.

I almost had a heart attack at the 11:30 repair-I thought, “what in the heck is he cutting off? He just fixed that piece!!?” You are a master craftsman, and I love watching your videos. I recently picked up a bankers chair made in March 1930. It has this same decorative nailed leather back, and I appreciated watching your technique. (I threw out the horsehair-I didn’t know it could be reused 😝) Side note, my bankers chair was $5.00 American. 😂. It is in solid, beautiful condition. The leather was dry rotted, and it needed a refinish. Almost done with it, and I can’t thank you enough for the tips I am learning from your videos!

Making a playlist on your channel and getting enchanted with your work. Congratulations.

I got so excited watching this chair regain it's beauty under your capable hands.

From your homemade angled clamping wooden pieces to your patient carving and sanding to the understanding of structure and period finishes, you are my favorite restoration and refinishing channel. I find it very peaceful and calming watching you work. Thank you. ❤

Это произведение искусства. Добротно, надёжно и глаз радует.

В руках мастера рождается новая жизнь вещей! 🎉🌹🌹🌹 Безупречная работа! 👏👏👏

i didn't think the tacks looked dull or wanting replacing until I saw the ones u put in instead. It is a work of art!

Wow! Absolutely amazing project! What a unique and beautiful piece, you did it justice!!😊❤. What craftsmanship you show!!! 😊❤

The power of sanding, clamps of all kinds, clever repairs, hard work, skill, attention to detail, love for restoration, tools of all sorts, patience, did I mention sanding?, skill, unusual repairs, very clever repairs, skill, patience, etc. = beautiful chair back to life! Thomas Johnson (Maine) would be proud of you.

Thank you for saving this treasure of a chair.

What a lovely chair. You can almost hear it breathe a sigh of relief through the screen. You do excellent work. You seem to love the pieces back to life🐝🤗❤️

There you go! It's time for the next 100 years !!! What a wonderful job you've done! You should have left a note in the chair cushion for the next restaurateur...

you gave a second life to this old chair, but in a more attractive appearance ! thanks

Ahti is a master craftsman. I love your work sir!

I just recently discovered your channel! Your work is amazing! These videos are not only educational, but they bring back many fond memories to me. When I was very young, I had a relative that did upholstery and she always had something that I could help her with. If I were younger, I would consider getting into this line of work in her memory.

The detail found on either side of the front arch is beautiful. You do fantastic work, true craftsmanship.

At first, I didn't see the potential in this chair. But as you worked I started to see it's beauty. Beautiful work.

I love all of your videos. You are absolutely great. Keep up the amazing work. Sending you lots of smiles from Texas USA.

I can only echo a all the other comments about your expertise and quality of your work, and how it speaks for itself. More please.

Начало положено с осмотра и диагностики - что убрать совсем из-за полной непригодности, что очистить от налёта, что отшлифовать, что заменить или подправить, разобрать, подклеять, зачистить, снова собрать и поставить на место, пролакировать, восстановить обшивку и стул, как новенький! Браво мастер "золотые руки"! Вы супер! 👍👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💥💥💥💖💖💖

Another wonderful restoration, the fine detail to even gluing and carving those slivers of wood in the back detailing, so relaxing to watch.

The chair is better than the new one! Great job! Good luck!

Es usted un verdadero artista. Gracias por mostrar su trabajo. Saludos desde España

Ahti, I wish I 'd known about you in 2019 as my wife and I were visiting Tallin, Estonia. We were in Europe celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary. I would have loved to come by and visit your shop. Anyway keep up the good work. I love your videos.

My gosh that looks good! Truly a showpiece now. TY for your furniture TLC ❤️

What a gorgeous chair!! I love watching you bring life back to beautiful antiques!! Jo

Fantastic Craftsmanship and Restoration !! 😊😊😊

Vrlo, vrlo pedantno i temeljno! Svaka čast! Zadovoljstvo je gledati ovakvu restauraciju!

The flower tacks really finished it up nicely. Amazing what such a small feature can do. Nice work.

My sincere appreciation for the exact, precise work with which she restores furniture that often seems unsalvageable.

It’s a beautiful chair....NOW. I greatly admire your work.

WHAT BEAUTIFUL WORKMANSHIP, A PLEASURE TO WATCH. BRAVO

Yet another awesome restoration 🤎🤎 Love watching your videos.

Wow. I’m in awe of your talents. Such a beautiful chair preserved for the future.

Great job restoring the old chair! You can see that you really care about restoring the furniture pieces back to their original glory! :-)

Beautiful restoration, very handsome restorer. very relaxing to watch in every respect. Love the way you so carefully take bits out and put bits in and it shows that you take pride in what you do.

What a beautiful chair.

I find the shots with all the clamps in place SUPER satisfying. I think the arrangement is cool, plus it looks solid. S-O-L-I-D!

You are The Best of all. My congratulations!

Gorgeous restoration. Even keeping the mistake of the previous carpenter shows the character and history of the chair. Beautiful.

One of the most beautiful restoration jobs I have ever watched it was like watching the chair just be made simply beautiful ❤️

I'm a new viewer and think your work is fabulous! Attention to detail, using extra care to make things right again. Loved this!

אתה אמן בחסד.. היתברכת בשלל כשרונות.. אוהבת לראות את עבודתך.. תודה שאתה משתף אותנו במה שאתה עושה

So much attention to the smallest of details! I just really love your Channel. Your work is just amazing.

Lovely art nouveau chair.he restored it to perfection.and the leather was the perfect colour.exquisite.

Wow! Beautiful restoration done by a true craftsman. I love your transformations of things long forgotten!

I love art nouveau and you took such care in restoring this chair. it looks fantastic. great video.

I love to see this kind of carpentery restorations. Again, very nice video, thank you!

Wonderful work from a master carpenter 👍

I WOULD NEVER HAVE THAT SKILL OR KNOWLEDGE. ITS FUN WATCHING SOMEONE WHO DOES THOUGH. GREAT TALENT AND PATIENCE.

Beautiful restoration and save of an old chair 🪑

Simply the best.

Beautiful restoration! The chair is GREAT!!❤

You are a wonderful restorer. I love your videos Sara

About halfway through this video, I realized: Wow, Ahti really LOVES this chair! I hope you are able to make time for projects that bring you this much pleasure, often. I enjoyed watching you make something beautiful with care. 🙂

Those home made jigs....super ..👍

Excellent restoration very nice 🙂🙂🙂

A beautiful restoration there. May the chair give pleasure to owners for another 120 years.

Perfect just perfect .You have golden hands!!!

Уровень мастерства таков,что хочется знать о Вас больше! Вопросов к Вам масса,поэтому здоровья,сил и позитива!

Beautiful job! Thanks for restoring and not just tossing it aside.

These videos are absolutely amazing 👏 I can't believe how clever you are .

Perfect restauration, Master. I love Art Decó. Thanks for sharing your beautiful job.

Such beautiful workmanship!

I wonder how many clamps this man owns. This one chair alone needed so many.

You brought it back to life.

I don't know where you picked up the talent or better still the art but boy you are hard to beat. Every piece of furniture that was probably destined to the grave yard, you managed to bring it back to life. Your attention to details is absolutely professional.

You must be trained in upholstery! Am I right? The chair fits perfectly. Outstanding renovation once again!

You are SO skilled!!!

Excellent Job!

The heartwarming story of a man and his clamps. 💕

A fortune can be made by techies working for some of the major comanies sitting at a desk and computer screen, but they won't even be a memory and leave no imprint on history. This craftsman will leave a legacy, and in another 100 - 200 years when someone restores this piece, they'll admire the craftsmanship carried out. I would rather leave a legacy that survives, than make a fortune sitting at a screen and leave nothing.Beautiful work.

This chair is amazing. You have a great day

Великолепно! Какой же Вы потрясающий Мастер!!!

Absolutely beautiful restoration yet again!!!😊😊😊

Nice to see a true craftsman work. So many haven't the knowledge & skill to do it the right way and too often destroy not restore.

Clamps are wood workers best friends.😄

You are a true restorer of furniture not a simple refinished like many others. I would choose you for all my restoration work if ever the need.

I love these vintage chairs, they’re beautiful

Hello, A wonderful restoration. 😊 It was exciting the upholstery hadn't been changed since it was made and most of the wood was in good condition. You would love the French Brocants; I watch Chateau channels ( Chateau Diaries etc.) where they film buying in French antiques. The prices are so low its incredible; upholsterd beds with slats from €80, sofas from €40, you would be in Antique furniture heaven. ♥️🌟 Thank you for your super-amazing videos. Xxx

This video was a meditation in wood working and leather upholstery. Thank you!

You can't even tell it was repaired or restored! Amazing!

Well done, a kind restoration in keeping with the original chair.

Beautiful job. Thanks for the video.

You brought it back to life! Just Simply Gorgeous!!!
