BEAUTIFUL 1930´s dining chair restoration

[@lenkuffert7428]

Getting screws out at the beginning was an opportunity to teach us Estonian cursing.

[@raeanngodfrey6986]

i like that you don't talk during your videos. it allows me to just focus on your consummate talent. well done

[@texascanadian]

Always amazed at the outcome. I shouldn’t be after watching so much of your content, but I’m always awe struck at your finished product. Thanks for continuing to upload great work.

[@Troutay]

Once more you have healed an old lady! The chair is beautiful!

[@TheMankustrap]

Almost a thing made by human hands is worthy of careful treatment and care. But sometimes the value of your impeccable work is not that you have restored another wooden soul, but that you have created a wonderful tutorial for those who want to do the same. Thank you for your vitdio!

[@betsyleiss8938]

You do love Art Nouveau, don't you? I am glad, because I love it as well and I get to watch you restore so many pieces of it! ❤

[@rochellenowik9875]

Something tells me that the other 5 chairs will be delivered to your shop to have them get the "AT" special treatment. Beautifully executed restoration.

[@capers72424]

My bet is that they all came in together. I’d love to see them side-by-side!

[@MOLLIMEDIA]

Amazing. I love your work.

[@Vickie-Bligh]

What a gorgeous piece and excellent job making it look like it had never been damaged, much less having less than half of it to start with. Thanks, Ahti for sharing this with us all.

[@dshey6802]

The carving on the top of the chair is charming. You are blessed to be able to make furniture from scratch. What a beautiful set of chairs there will be when you're finished with all of them.

[@jonvincentmusic]

I think this video raises the genuine question of when is a restoration no longer a restoration and is instead a skilled workman building a new chair in the style of an old chair with whatever scraps of the original remain. I don't have an answer.

[@kreight007]

You are a master at your craft. What a joy to watch. Thank you!!

[@LB-px9td]

You do such beautiful work! You have created something great out of practically nothing!

[@lynnjasen9727]

Another miracle from the AT studio! You never disappoint, and the outcome is always more than the sum of the parts. Still the best restoration channel on KZbin. 🇨🇦💕

[@dawnchattin5935]

This video reminded me of the restaurant chairs restorations. The carving was so perfect. Superb work and a lovely video.

[@karencox3235]

Love watching your work! You can't make videos fast enough for me!

[@ATRestoration]

Yeah, this work takes a lot of time.

[@patriciahatton8292]

I honestly think you're the best restorer of furniture on you tube. Sometimes I watch some of the others and I'm tempted to comment to them to watch you for educational purposes!! Absolutely beautiful restorations!

[@ATRestoration]

Thanks! There are certainly many levels of restoration skills. I think in KZbin, most people do the refinishing, small repairs and that is it.

[@suenichols7047]

Absolutely! I have found myself saying, while watching other restorers, "That's not the way Ahti would do it". Definitely the best! 😊

[@JerroldKrenek]

been MISSING your videos, welcome back!!!!

[@ATRestoration]

Thanks! Bigger projects coming soon!

[@JerroldKrenek]

@@ATRestoration always look forwards to them

[@karenstone1925]

I love watching your videos, how you respect the piece and not try to change it. It’s great to see a master at work!!

[@justjulee9135]

I am still amazed with every video how masterful you are with your craft. I have never seen someone so skilled, and so meticulous with restoration and repair! Bravo, Sir!

[@Joaquina-sg6dx]

Only you can see the beauty and potential of an abandoned piece!! Beautiful!!

[@84com83]

This brings back memories from my maternal grandparents nearly 70 years ago, thank you.

[@michaeldowdle6123]

I have complimented you before. This is beyond what I thought could be done. We have "Magic Mike", now we have "Amazing Ahti", cheers Michael🇨🇦

[@JoeMeyer8998]

Good job!!

[@fiberotter]

You took a worn out broken 90 year old and made her young and beautiful again. While showing off your great skills.

[@RumMonkeyable]

Well-equipped shop plus technical skills plus restoration experience equals beautiful, accurately-restored pieces! 💪👍👏✨❤

[@normafollet7156]

Well MR A T you, ve done it again. Well done as usuall 🙌👍

[@delectablekat]

Rebuilding something with such care and precision shows how much you enjoy the art. Having said that, watching you replace MOST of chair makes me thinks of "Ship of Theseus" paradox. The ship wherein Theseus and the youth of Athens returned from Crete had thirty oars, and was preserved by the Athenians down even to the time of Demetrius Phalereus, for they took away the old planks as they decayed, putting in new and stronger timber in their places, insomuch that this ship became a standing example among the philosophers, for the logical question of things that grow; one side holding that the ship remained the same, and the other contending that it was not the same. - Plutarch, Life of Theseus 23.1

[@cecoya]

You are a Master craftsman with furniture. That chair turned out beautiful in the end. I would have been stuck and probably threw the thing away. lol Have a great day

[@waynehigdon8295]

I like the fact you don't talk, you just do

[@rebeccabarnes3324]

It is always a pleasure to see a master craftsman at work. Thank you for bringing life back into each piece with which you work !

[@lisahodges8299]

At which point does a chair become a new chair? Beautiful job. Birdy

[@DelnoraY]

Excellent restoration and very well done....you are a genius, you are an artist.

[@BritInvLvr]

Beautiful job. You’re a magician.

[@channelsixtysix066]

Well, it's a start. Better having 0.5 of a chair, than no chair at all. Beautiful, elegant design, it's around 90 years old, yet looks fresh and modern. As always, top class restoration Ahti.

[@donmcallister3745]

Very nice work… I like the design on the back… very simple but elegant…👌 and the slight taper on the front leg… at the bottom is cool too…! You did it… again…!👌🙌👌

[@astrik5236]

You made a new chair - it’s beautiful! 😊😊

[@joheldenbrand4985]

Love watching you do miracles with furniture never disappointed ❤

[@donfenton7473]

At first I thought there was no way you could repair that chair and make it look like it did before. I’m sorry, I will never doubt you again. You are a master at what you do. Thank you and stay safe.

[@patsyschindler7291]

I love you, so glad I found you . Your work is perfection

[@colinmartin9797]

For awful, rusted, stripped head screws, try a cheap tool called a "shake and break". It's an attachment for a pneumatic chisel with screwdriver heads that just vibrates and pushes down on the screw head, but applies no twisting motion, which you provide gently with a handle. It's like $30 and the thing paid for itself the first time i ever used it. Utter miracle of a tool.

[@lynnew5619]

I’m sure the owners will be thrilled. Now they have a perfectly matching chair back. 👏

[@csekeamal7788]

Mindig csodálattal nézem az anyagok és eszközök tiszteletét. Ahogy hozzáérsz egy faragás sérüléséhez, láttatod a régi mester munkáját, és szeretettel begyógyítod a sebet, amire joggal lehetsz büszke! Amatőrként tanultam is néhány tippet, amiért külön köszönet! 👍

[@gaynorjackson8857]

Beautiful restoration from broken parts to complete beauty

[@ОльгаВасилек-п1х]

Вітаю! Як завжди чудова робота, захоплююсь вашею майстерністю! 😊

[@ВикторГалянин]

Реставрация просто чудо, ни одного лишнего движения, и результат шикарный. Спасибо за видео, лайк однозначно.

[@tobiasbostwick9002]

A pleasure to view. Well done, and thank you.

[@thomasweatherford5125]

It’s impossible to notice the new parts of that chair. Amazing.

[@corricatt]

Once again, I'm totally in awe of your skill... this was fricken amazing!!!

[@JesusEduardoQuinteroSuar-eg7id]

good video friend..! excellent work and magnificent result .., congratulations! greetings from Ecuador!!!

[@markaubuchon2227]

Master class in woodworking.

[@brennagarten317]

Thanks for showing the detailed treatment of raised grain before final staining.

[@gavinbird3652]

You are so meticulous. Fantastic. Your videos are tutorials in mastercraftsmanship. Many thanks for posting this.

[@davidfredman1749]

He's back, doing the most fantastic restoration, in his seemingly effortless, professional dedication and efficiency. 👍👍👍

[@yeagerxp]

Excellent restoration 👍👍👍Thank you for sharing. Be safe🇨🇦

[@chandarussell]

Well that turned out beautifully. Now that chair will look nicer than the other 5 chairs. I bet your client will bring them in for a little sprucing up so they look at good as this chair does.

[@parthenaweaver4108]

Great job!!!! I just love your work. ❤

[@agistan7764]

Stunning work as usual. Nothing short of small mirracle. 2:22 You mentioned this chair is part of 6 chairs set. I assume this one was in worst condition, but I guess you'll be restoring rest of them to match the upholstery?

[@ATRestoration]

Yes, exactly

[@KaaSerpent]

I have a question. How much of the original piece must be missing before it's less a "restoration" and more of a "making another piece of furniture in the style of" the one that's mostly not there?

[@lua4221]

wow.... WOW! It made me dizzy watching the cuts and seeing the joints come together. WOW!

[@katherineharper-sj4ys]

I love your videos. Chair looks great.

[@WilldoAldone]

Simply amazing. First it was ready for the trash heap then,after your expertise its ready for the show room floor.

[@katerinaikon]

You have golden hands

[@MASI_forging]

Nice restoration. You did a great job. 😎😎

[@bloggalot4718]

I would love to have been your apprentice when I was young.

[@llamamelola100]

Wow! Magic! You are a genius!

[@fletchro789]

Now they will want the other five chairs restored by you!

[@davidlynn5170]

Such a beautiful project. It came out looking like it did from the factory when it was new

[@pierremaillard4527]

So much skill ,a real delight to watch ,compared to others ,👏 Bravo

[@colinmartin9797]

These videos have given me so much more confidence in starting my summer project - restoring a full dropleaf table and six chair set with lots of dog chewing damage.

[@horatiohornblower868]

You’re the best, Ahti!

[@saxandrew100]

Thanks for the spectacular and beautiful work. You are a true master of your trade. My recognition.

[@chaelp]

The wood master, no one does it better

[@ClarkOVision]

Outstanding again. You'd never know that half of the chair is brand new... perfectly done.

[@andriesviljoen4309]

Another absolute stunning masterpiece of artwork. Well done again!

[@iselacastellanos7460]

Beautiful job as usual. 😊

Wonderful craftsmanship. You are an artist.

[@wendyhale2189]

Beautiful.

[@marcusott2973]

Your camera has a function called ClearScan. Mostly labled as CLRScan, or CScan in the menu. You can adjust the frequency (Hertz) so you can get rid of the flicker from the LED's. Great restoration, recreation as always!

[@ATRestoration]

Thanks! It is called shutter speed.

[@donnahewitt8905]

Fascinating! Your mind working on so many levels! Thank you for sharing!
