AMAZING restoration of a BROKEN rocking chair

[@colly1952]

I would have thought this chair good for the rubbish bin, but you gave it a new life. Wonderful!

[@moonbeamstry5321]

This almost feels like watching a surgeon save a life. This was dangerously close to firewood. Absolutely incredible job!

[@mercedesramosborrego5115]

TIENE TODA LA RAZON DE MUNDO!!!!! PARECÍA UN QUIRÓFANO DE TRAUMATOLOGÍA. HA PUESTO TANTAS " SARGENTAS " ( EL INSTUMENTO QUE MANTIENE SUJETO LOS CEMPALMES ), HA HECHO UNA VERDADERA CIRUGÍA ORTOPÉDICA A LA MECEDORA !!!!!

[@theresaluvspims6163]

You gave her back her dignity. Beautiful workmanship, beautiful chair.

[@shortsweettoo]

Your work is beyond impressive. I love that you only replace what needs replacing on each and every piece, but you still manage to make each project look like a masterpiece.

[@НадеждаКолесник-м4и]

Вы как врач- реаниматолог. Возвращаете вещи с " того света." И делаете это так деликатно, так аккуратно. Приятно смотреть. Великолепная работа. Браво!!! 👏🏻

[@BekumsWoo]

I know your work is difficult, highly-skilled artisanship, but I find your videos so soothing to watch. It's wonderful to see beautiful wood restored and given more life.

I totally resonate to what you said as well.... This is waaaaay better than watching pimples popping

[@maggiesfarm7970]

You do such a great job!

[@fredziffle5219]

That looks like a really old chair maybe more than 100 years. It somehow survived the weather.

[@BelindaMuller]

Same, utterly mesmerising to watch and so satisfying to see the end result of such amazing craftsmanship.

[@suitov]

It looks so shiny and smooth! I'm imagining a little old Swedish grandma sitting in it on a cold night by the fire.

[@suzannehaigh4281]

It is so good to see people who are capable of so many skills who can repair/renovate these old treasure, I thought these skills were dying out

[@jennylawson1980]

Such a challenge but oh the final result…is so beautiful 😊

[@MarkNiceyard]

Such an elegant chair. You don't see this kind of elegance in furniture any more. Great project and very well done!

@@ОлегЛесной-ж3о - Anyone who buys a rocking chair uses it as decoration. They put blankets on it. Ask an American women, it’s decor. If it’s all busted up they put potted plants on it. They don’t sit on those.

[@roberthardt1846]

Yes

[@natsterjam]

@@ОлегЛесной-ж3о I disagree my friend. It was a great restoration and I didn't see any weakness. I would like to know what weakness you think there is please?

[@LordCaledonFraszer]

I love it that you finish your projects the right way with many layers of natural shellac, not one heavy coat of something chemical. Shellacking looks like nicely finished wood, synthetic sealer looks like plastic. Lovely work, indeed!

[@EyeWYT]

Outstanding!!! What a gorgeous rocker!! I’m so glad you restored it to it’s original glory! It breaks my heart at the trend here on KZbin where some people paint these antiques some crazy color. I’m so glad there’s people like you that can truly bring things back to life.

[@judeirwin2222]

Its original glory. It’s = it is.

[@carolinderbitzin5041]

This is so much more than a restoration! Your ability to deconstruct a piece, craft new parts and then reassemble, is the finest craftsmanship. The end result of that rocker is stunning!

[@sharonlaster2767]

You are an artist in more ways than one. The black paint hid the new wood and repairs, but does not detract from the great job you did. You did not skimp from knowing it would be hidden. Fantastic job!

[@dwaynekoblitz6032]

The best, BY FAR, restoration of anything I've ever seen! Truly incredible! And so calming and relaxing. Thank you.

Какая Красота! Браво! Спасибо людям которые возвращают прекрасным творениям рук человеческих! Вторую жизнь.....

As a Scandinavian myself, it's so nice to see other taking care of treasures like that. My Swedish fellows was amazed by your work.

[@sarathecat7163]

Третий раз смотрю это видео. Что мне нравится в ваших работах, так это тщательность! Ни один мастер на ютюбе не выполняет работу так качественно, что каждая мелкая щелка заделывается раствором и шлифуется. Не оставляется без внимания ни одно отверстие от старого гвоздика. Вы всё тщательно прорабатываете своими золотыми руками. Браво! 🎉

[@131dyana]

That looks like a new chair. Thank you Great job.

I think of myself as a beautiful old rocker too,,,,,,, I wonder if he could do some restoration on me.?.?. I mean after 50 gravity sets in 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣🤣🤣

[@nattie_ceee5989]

Yes! Destruction is so easy and so quick and we see so much of it these days, it’s heartbreaking. To see someone restore something so beautiful and expertly crafted is, to me, really moving actually.

[@karenrich9092]

It's amazing how you took this abandoned rocker and turned it into a masterpiece. While I can't do this work, it's fascinating to watch what a master craftsman can do. Keep it up!

[@markinglese3874]

I think you could Karen, just start with basic furniture and work your way up.

[@ericl2851]

Not impressed. Poor joint work. Trusting glue to hold where clearly something more is needed. Flat sanding directly across the turned spindles sands the carved portions flat. Losing details. Poor quality pin-striping. Not impressed.. just because it’s shiny does not means it’s “master craftsman” quality.

[@markinglese3874]

@@ericl2851 Well Eric, How about you put your craftsmanship on the line and post it to KZbin, so we can critique it for you since you are the expert?

[@cab102361]

Thank you for taking the time to care for this older broken rocker. People are too quick to throw out old things and buy cheap replacements. These while maybe not hugely expensive, are a part of our history.

[@ronaldmay8572]

I am very impressed by the meticulous restoration which you created! The lengths to which you went to create an impeccable restoration of this antique chair are remarkable. It reminds me of the cliche from a revered instructor in my past who used to say “Always choose the harder right versus the easier wrong when striving for perfection!” This chair is a sterling example!

I've come to the conclusion that the most important purchase in furniture restoration is a huge number and sizes of clamps. Everything else can be worked around.

Beautiful restoration! I kept thinking about restoring my mom's early 1800's black painted child rocker. Very much like this one, but smaller. I was 11 years old at the time. Turned out pretty good, but would have been better if I'd had your video back then. Bravo, Maestro!
