AMAZING restoration of a BROKEN rocking chair

[@moonbeamstry5321]

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

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 !!!!!

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

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.

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!

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.

[@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. 🖤

[@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! 🎉

[@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!

[@TTDahl]

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.

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.

Loved that joint that you used to repair the broken bottom rocker. I'm always impressed by the amount of strength that wood glue has when given enough surface to bond on.
