Your ability to match color and ornate carving leaves me jaw-dropped. Whew. I love watching.

[@AlmaBellaSolis]

Why could not everyone on earth work like you!!! You devote all your heart, mind and hands in creating beautiful restoration of any kind. You do the possible from impossible.

[@vincentfiore2228]

Your greatest talent is your ability to match colors. I know because I worked repairing furniture for twenty-five years. I knew of one person that had your talent.

[@RissaFirecat]

What a beautiful restoration! This old lady living in Texas has no words. I am constantly amazed by your talent. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@donnahewitt8905]

A broken, rare chair finds a rare master to repair and restore it to it’s original beauty. Thank you for sharing! It is always a peaceful joy to watch you show us a broken item and how you remake truly broken parts and fix the rest. The care you take for the colors and finishes shows how well you know your craft. Well done, my friend!

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

I would have liked this comment more than once, if I could. Beautifully said. 🌿

One day KZbin suggested me a video from your channel. Since then I have followed your excellence, expertise, sensitivity and talent. Do you have the exact notion of how many people you make happy and delighted with your work? Thank you so much for offering us so much beauty! Merry Christmas!🌷

Your ability to create an exact copy of a damaged piece is so impressive. Truly beautiful craftsmanship once again.

[@fiberotter]

You are a master with wood. Whether bringing a piece of furniture back to life, or turning a finial. It is a joy to watch you make a piece happy again.

[@alexanedda3960]

You are probably the best KZbin restorer. Every video is a show and every repair you've done is fantastic.

This is so satisfying to watch! All looks effortless in master's hands! Greetings from Ukraine!

I watch furniture appraisers heap mounds of praise and give high values to dilapidated pieces, then I see beautifully restored ones like this and wonder just what in the world they're thinking.

Man,that chair was a mess.I can see that your laser is going to be your best friend.Thank you for showing the difference between laser cut and hand drilling.Great video.

Чем ценна работа реставратора? Тем, что он старинную, ветхую вещь восстанавливает, придавая ей прежний, обновлённый вид, максимально оставляя все детали работы предыдущего мастера. И именно это прекрасно! Спасибо, маэстро, за ваше высокое мастерство и нелёгкий, но творческий труд! Новых успехов и новых подписчиков!👍👍👍💥💥💥💯💯💯💖💖💖

[@mattnichols2738]

That free hand lathe recreation of the detail was amazing. One day I hope to be able to do that...

[@ATRestoration]

Lathe work is probably the easyest.

[@yeagerxp]

Practice, practice and more practice, that is where the muscle memory comes from. Peace

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

I'm sure you'll get there. You sound like you have the determination to do it!

[@annettev8362]

Always enjoy watching you work your magic & hard work restoring wood to its orginal beauty.

[@19Bmiller]

When you called this chair mass produced, I had to stop and think. Today a mass-produced chair will probably be molded plastic with metal legs attached by a machine. The factor where this chair was made must have had an army of skilled craftsman producing perhaps with a machine each of these parts and then assembling them and finishing it. It is good that you keep these things alive for it speaks well of the original craftsman’s memory.

[@amylong9591]

I was taken aback by the words, "mass-produced" too. It sure doesn't look like the chairs in the USA.

[@jessemkahn]

Exquisite work, as always. I love that you know almost every Estonian mass produced chair.

[@yx6889]

I am convinced that there is nothing that you cannot do. I've watched you repair and make so many things, truly amazing!

I like your work. You leave the original look of the peice whenever you can. Restored with dignity!

[@colleenmccarthy-evans3149]

Fabulous. The way you made that recess in the seat blew my mind...I missed it the first time and went back to watch the bit where you pressed the 3 layers together...a second time. So cool.

[@sarahangle3046]

I learn something from almost all of your videos. Thank you.

[@kirstenhilger3323]

in my house windows, shutters, kitchen cabinets, internal and external doors and most furniture are all finished with shellac. hence i do appreciate your work with shellac and your finishing.

[@TheBorn25]

Не стул, а трон настоящий. И какой же красивый! Несомненно, вы своими руками только улучшили его внешний вид. Новый он выглядел хуже. Время положительно сказалось на волокнах древесины. Дерево стало сухим и выдержанным. Всё напряжения ушли. А вы отреставрировали его (стул), устранив следы тяжкой жизни. Мне кажется, у вас не только руки из нужного места растут, но ещё и великолепное образование😁😁😁. Удачи вам в труде и жизни!

[@caseym9656]

I love learning these small things about Estonia in every video you share.

[@jennylawson1980]

Modern tech is amazing as a tool to help but it still takes time to learn and perfect kudos for taking the time to master it. You are so skillful and the end result is amazing 😊 Great restoration

[@marilynnde]

That laser is something else! What a time saver.. But I cannot imagine the learning curve. I love to watch you use the lathe. Such precision with the calipers. I truly appreciate your skill. Especially now that I have hand tremors. Great job!

[@TerryProthero]

I'm betting the laser is not very hard to use. The software does most of the work for you. Using a lathe requires a lot more skill. I'm sure I could figure out the laser without a problem. But I would have zero chance of doing most of the other things he does.

[@nancynewlin]

Wow, a wood shop with a big press and a laser cutter!! Awesome and so useful.

[@ozludo]

Thank you - I needed to see something that 100% makes sense. Beautiful restoration.

[@Rev-D1963]

It is truly a pleasure to watch you work Ahti. Your skills on the wood lathe are legendary! To reproduce that finial free-hand like you did was amazing! Thank you so very much for sharing your work and videos with us. God bless. Rev. D.

[@user-oj2fp9lb4j]

Как всегда, прекрасная работа! С большой буквы Мастер своего дела!

[@MNTNSTARZ80.]

With your amazing talent and knowledge of woodworking I think it would be interesting to see you hand make an exact replica of an antique piece of furniture. It would probably be even better than the original.

[@yeagerxp]

There is no need to ask me to hit like. I hit like even before watching the video. Unlike many others you have no bull***t music or bull***t documentary, just some random text, and the sounds of you working. It is therapeutic. Excellent restoration 👍👍👍Thank you for sharing. Be safe 🇨🇦 MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOURS

[@amylong9591]

The laser was interesting to watch. I imagine if one makes a living through this work, lasers could be useful. Honestly, I most enjoy watching how you take your calipers, measure angles, and then create an incredible replica of the first decorative thing ( I don't know what it is called). The work on the lathe is phenomenal. Thank you!

[@TheWiredwizard]

It's always a treat to see how much care and skill you put into a project. Top notch.

[@melodysimonson1510]

[@MultiDave1959]

You did very well using your new laser cutter. I have been using metal cutting lasers for the last 25 years, Sorry to say you have a lot to learn with it. focal length and distance between material and head is very important, this is why it burnt in the middle of your cut. Also they do not like cutting laminated materials which could be your problem here. Still, love your videos and carry on with the great content.

Beautiful work! Cool how you stained over the original shellac and saved the old finish. You color matched the new wood so well.
