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.

[@SiddiGorsky-xc7ub]

I agree, but sometimes I do want a little more information. Like why did you use hide glue on one part and pva on another. Same project

[@cathrankin8123]

@@SiddiGorsky-xc7ubIf you check out @Baumgartner Restoration, he does Art Restoration, you’ll see hide glue is something restorers can ‘step back’ and ‘unglue’ so to speak, with various solvents and heat. It’s often used as a bond between materials, like canvas to wood. PVA is a bonding glue, which when used on wood + wood, it’s hoped it won’t break or come apart (not generally reversible). ❤

[@kimderrick7796]

I like that he does not use music throughout his videos. The sounds of the workshop is enough.

[@michellemcculloch]

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.

[@nancyschnarrs2093]

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

[@AdamGreenwell]

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.

[@jennylawson1980]

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.

[@stevekan1215]

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

[@neilfranklin5644]

Yes indeed he cuts alittle bit to repair while others would just replace the whole panel .

[@user-il4le8iy1q]

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. 👍👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯💯💥💥💥

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

[@shirleypedersen7406]

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

[@juliemccall8366]

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!

[@xicocacoilo]

Clamps are wood workers best friends.😄

[@nannymac47]

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

[@ledyVivamus]

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 🙏

[@leksey7870]

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

[@donnawieland5799]

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.

[@demetrioalbidrez684]

Fantastic Craftsmanship and Restoration !! 😊😊😊

[@sidval9807]

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

[@martemacdougall1985]

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. ❤

[@tombarlow6176]

Excellent restoration very nice 🙂🙂🙂

[@aglaesidonie805]

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...

[@luckytahlula6515]

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

[@tedfriesen9466]

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.

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.

[@wkjeom]

The chair looks so tiny next to him. I think maybe people were smaller in the early 1900s. With sanitation we do better and have a chance to grow more. Either that or he is a really big guy. Just my thoughts.
