AMAZING restoration of a BROKEN rocking chair

This rocking chair was made in 19 century Sweden, in Nässjö chair factory. In this video I will try to restore it to it´s former glory.

Title: 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!

[@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.

[@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 !!!!!

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.

@@user-tu7ld9qb1g - 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]

@@user-tu7ld9qb1g 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!

[@kimmcdonagh6756]

That black finish really looked fabulous!

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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?

[@dwinahirzel6363]

I love ❤ the way you bring this rocking chair back to life ; it's you can almost see a mother rocking her baby. There are not enough words to describe the beautiful care you put into your work

[@maramakesjournals2319]

I love watching you work. My father-in-law would have loved to watch you. He did woodworking as a hobby. He made a desk for our daughter, trinket boxes for all the girls, lots of things for everyone. I have a shelf/end table that I have beside me here. I miss him, but I’m so glad to have the things he made. There is nothing better than hand-crafted gifts. Any little thing is precious.

[@VioletJoy]

Absolutely beautiful. It's an antique, a statement piece, and art all in one. I just love seeing old furniture restored and treasured. It's a part of 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!

[@lisawilkerson5671]

I saved two rocking chairs from the land fill this year. Mine were no where near as fabulous as this one is. As always I'm amazed at your restoration 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! 🎉
