BADLY shattered TABLE LEG restoration

[@Vickie-Bligh]

I love that you don't monologue. You show, clearly what you're doing. Your captions are to the point and perfect. Your videography spot on. Thanks.

[@TerryProthero]

It's not obvious when it works. It's obvious when it doesn't. But now that you mention it, I have very little experience in woodworking and have no trouble following what he's doing. And he rarely speaks a word during the whole process. A few little captions, and that's it. The man is obviously a master carpenter, but his videos can be followed by someone who hasn't picked up a hammer before.

[@Vickie-Bligh]

@@TerryProthero I have zero abilities in woodworking either and I appreciate his expertise so much. There's another furniture restorer I try (and I emphasize try) to watch who has wonderful skills, but the man drones on & on to the point I don't care what happens to the piece of furniture.

[@robertsteinbeiss8478]

and the music is well chosen !

[@Rev-D1963]

Is there anything this gentleman can't restore? Not on camera there isn't!!! Incredible work as always Ahti, thank you so much for sharing with us. God bless always. Rev. D.

[@TerryProthero]

Short of a piece being put through a wood chipper, probably not. But since he's doing this professionally for clients, the cut off is likely cost rather than his ability. In some cases, it would cost more to repair the piece than it's worth. Given this man's skills, I'm guessing his hourly rate isn't cheap. This isn't the guy you bring your IKEA furniture to.

[@sureshot311]

There's not much better than watching a master work with love and care. I wasn't subscribed to this second channel. I'm not sure why but I am now! Thank you for taking us along.

[@agistan7764]

There are whole bunch of youtube craftsmen, but you are not a craftsman but an Artist (with a capital A). Your channel is criminally underrated and I try to spread the word every chance I get.

[@kanderson845]

Amazing that you could put all those fragment together like a puzzle and save this beautiful piece. Thank you for all the teaching you do. Many "flippers" do not know how to resolve such problems only staining/painting. This is why I have seen everyone of your videos, Some twice or 3 times...again thank you. Katie

[@graceparker7003]

Beautifully restored. I have been around many tables with those type of claw feet and tripod legs. Some were just round tops, some pie crust style and others were rectangular. You do such beautiful work. I love watching you and put things right. I could watch you all day. Thanks for another great video :)

[@michellemcculloch]

Beautiful repair. I’m always completely amazed at your precise colour matching of new materials to old.

[@TerryProthero]

The man is an artist. He's mending all these pieces of wood together, and you think they will never match. And sure enough, they always do. All the seams disappear, and the color of the wood matches perfectly. He has to do so many things right to make that work. Otherwise, all those repairs would stick out like a sore thumb. He picks the right kind of wood, the right kind of stain, the right kind of glue, and the right kind of wood filler. And then he probably even considers the grain of the wood pieces and has to use flawless technique when applying stain, etc. He makes it look easy, but it definitely isn't.

Hello AT beautiful restoration beautifully restored well done

[@milliestrachan2632]

Stunning job you cannot see the repairs. ❤❤❤❤I would have thought this is beyond repair. 😢😢😢

[@channelsixtysix066]

Ahti, that was so badly shattered, yet you wouldn't know it. The faint transitions you had to point out, could easily have been a simple refinish, not a complete rebuild like this. Truly amazing artisanry.

[@stephenmcfadyen1385]

The art and craft of the restorer is finishing a piece, and no-one knows you have been there, you have certainly achieved this level of excellence. Brilliant !!!

[@LarryCrandall-z2w]

Very well done job, I thought how are you going to hide all those repairs? I would have liked to seen the table top as well.

[@lovingmayberry307]

Lovely as always. I really enjoy your videos. No monologue necessary. 💙

[@monicadepaulabomfim6052]

Your work is magnificent. I was fascinated by the fixing of the golden threads on the furniture leg. Lots of detail, care and art. Congratulations one more time!

[@lagunabay51]

You make it look so easy yet it was a complex repair. Wish I had your skills.. Very good work. God Bless

[@turbo.panther]

The owners must be very pleased with how well you repaired it. Give it a bit of time and they'll just about forget it was ever damaged. :)

[@rj001100]

This repair was simply WOW it was definitely not easy to repair but you did it with smooth and such smooth work with such challanged broken wood can only be Done by skilled professional, now I cam say after very long time I see some good skills from your video, Thank you ton for adding this video I wish there is double thumbs up I can give you

[@jaimegomezgarcia7599]

Simply amazing!

[@hannahschumacher7034]

The sign of a true craftsmanship, is that the product looks like it was never repaired...you are an ARTIST 🎨 🥰🥰

[@troublemcallister730]

I don't know about dropping it, it looks like it it was thrown around the removal van for an hour! So glad you were able to restore it, and so beautifully too.

[@bobobobbledoo482]

If you thin the epoxy with acetone, you can put on a first application that penetrates deeply into the wood. It gives the thick epoxy better adhesion.

[@moraghamilton3609]

Excellent repair.enjoy watching an expert at work. GOD BLESS.. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇨🇦

Perfecto impresionante el mimo y la solvencia con que trata sus trabajos la mesa quedó perfecta , continúe que con cada vídeo nos hace entrar en el mundo de que todo es posible. Saludos

[@TerryProthero]

I see you used epoxy in places. I'm guessing that was necessary to increase structural strength to prevent it from breaking again. Otherwise, the other glues are preferred so that the piece can be taken apart again. Which seems to be your usual method of operation. Although, I'm glad you pointed out where the repairs were made at the end. It would likely take a magnifying glass and extremely good lighting to spot them otherwise.

[@dionetaylor931]

Great job, I’ve learned so much about glueing and finishing, thank you.
