Definitely the best of the three because of the attention to details, in spite of the fact that the AT restoration one is positively insane for the amount of work...

[@bombus1340]

This is the kind of thing I want to see on the internet, and which woldn't be possible without it. A German, an Italian and an Estonian do a challenge, comunicating in english. Great stuff! PS: Ab ca. 5:50 sind Ton und Bild extrem unsynchron.

[@chrigunrestauration]

Thanks. The video is currently being edited in the background. A few places are being cut. Maybe that's the reason. Otherwise it's okay. Greetings

[@latitude1904]

Is this fellow the Estonian or German? Google translate shows many poster's language as Polish, so I'm confused

[@fieryvale]

Really beautiful result! Those springs sure looked like a headache to put in! My mom has told me how much she loved the Biedermeier chairs her grandma had in Hungary. She said the fabric was really colourful, but I’m guessing that they had been reupholstered. I think that the generations of people who had and loved these chairs would be pleased with your result ❤️

[@chrigunrestauration]

Thank you. that would be nice. In 50 years, maybe the next ones will enjoy it 😀.

[@1958PI]

Great work! A little hint on your english translation: in the german language the word "Federn" (engl. feathers) is used s for the outer cover, plumage, of birds and also for metallic devices that can be compressed and expanded. The english word for the latter term is "spring". So you put in to the chair new springs, not feathers.

[@chrigunrestauration]

Thanks very much. I will next. think about it. 😀

[@francisrambers9]

Lol I was wondering when did a spring/coil become a feather. I kept looking at the spring and it did not align with any 'feather' of my experience.

[@anitadavidson1266]

@@chrigunrestauration your English is far superior to my German. Well done again. 👍🏻

[@uppitywoman3647]

Wow, what a contest! IL Makerstauratore had a vienna straw chair in the XVI style with a broken cane seat and dry wood. He did a great job refinishing the wood and replacing the cane seat, but I felt (in my opinion) it lacked some of the technical skill that would be involved with replacing a spring seat or replicating an arm. That's why I put him in third place. AT Restoration, I think his chair started out in the worst condition, and that guy is a master at woodworking, he replicated the seat, at least one spindle and an arm. However, I felt that his staining was splotchy. But he's very technically strong in replacing missing elements. Chrigun: The Old Biedermeier chair needed lots of TLC. You replaced missing details, filled in holes, reglued or replaced veneer, replaced the head of a chair leg, and replaced the seat with springs. Everything AT Restoration did, you did. But your staining and finishing was better, which is why I would give you first place. Now where is my blue ribbon...

[@chrigunrestauration]

Thanks very much. That makes me happy. 😀

[@autodidactin]

Good job for trying the upholstery with the springs for the first time. I would give you a like for this restoration if it wasn’t a contest, especially since you are a Landsman. If you have watched Ahti’s video, I think you would have to agree who the winner is.

[@chrigunrestauration]

If you are a compatriot, you are welcome to write in German. everyone fine. I would have voted for Arthi too. 😀

[@girlnorthof60]

Very well done, what a beautiful end result. How long did it take from start to finish? Your close-up (macro) videography, lighting & sound quality is excellent, I appreciate seeing things done slowly so I have time to think about your process. I had to rewind/pause when there was printing on the screen as it disappeared before I could read it all... but overall, I enjoyed watching your work & am now a new subscriber (a novice from Yukon, Canada) Cheers! 🍻

Цей стілець не старий , хоча можливо і в стилі бідермейер . Просто він погано зроблений . Я вчився на тесляра і мене деякі обдурені замовники також намагались ввести в оману . При реставрації немає важливості - старовинна річ чи новороб - робота та сама , але по технології видно для кожного профі (помилки бувають досить кумедні - наприклад використання сучасних копірувальних станків або синтетичних клеїв , або заготовки на виріб недосушені і дали усадку після збирання(це лише сучасні майстри здатні на таке неподобство)) . Старовинною можна називати річ , зроблену більше 50 років тому і більше .

[@megabit101]

Omg, that was amazing, I look forward to watching the other videos of the challenge. My vote down below. Love the challenge. I am having a hard time deciding the winner. It is between Chrigun Restoration and AT Restoration. Both of you are my favorite restorers. Both your expertise is out of this world. If I was younger I would study your techniques but I am not a Craftsman or even wood work. Boy did I ever miss out in high school, I would of taken wood and metal shop! :)

[@magdamundt9483]

I love when you must take off damaged veneer, and then save the small pieces to restore other parts of the furniture. Such care is moving, I have no other word. I love old furniture, the amount of history embedded in them, and I'm still trying to find HERE traditional products (as you have), like some kinds of glues, lacquers, waxes, to preserve them as original as I can. Alas, we are a too modern country, and poor, it means there is nothing of the sort here, and importing them is quite impo$$ible 🙄. Still trying to do my best, even if doesn't come close to what YOU do, not just because of appropriate insumes and tools - but your skill!! Wonderful 😳🤩. Humble compliments!

[@m_p_furo1]

Great job - I love the idea of a challenge between channels! The work you did on the veneer was great and you showed that no piece of furniture deserves to go to the landfill if at least some parts are still solid. Keep up the good work (I think Ahti won this challenge, but you get a thumbs up nontheless, because this was inspiring!). I have one request: please keep written information on the screen longer, it's sometimes hard to read everything before it disappears.

[@VeganAtheistWeirdo]

Those springs ("feathers") looked way too thick for this application the minute you showed them, so I'm not surprised at all that they gave you difficulty! I'm not an expert, just someone who has watched quite a lot of this kind of work. Have you seen Ahti do reupholstery? It never looks easy, even though it's clear he knows what he's doing at every stage and it always comes out perfect. What I'm saying is, you did a brave thing in trying this out for the first time on a challenge, and the seat came out far better at the end than I was afraid it would when I first saw those springs. 💜 Both you and Il Makerstauratore have a new subscriber thanks to this fun challenge.

[@chrigunrestauration]

Thanks very much. That makes me very happy. 😀

[@allanblount4956]

Fascinating video, you are a true master of breaking down your project chair into bit size jobs. *Coincidence is I just started a commission repair for a ladder back chair seat that has numerous previous repair attempts. * I'll likely spend a ton of time just removing glue gobbled on.

[@chrigunrestauration]

Thank you very much. Yes. removing glue is always a hassle . Greetings

I watched the whole video just because of the competition you have. But the Audio sync issue is horrible, almost unwatchable. Better put some music in the background maybe. I don't speak well German so I can't complain too much about translation errors, but for example is not feathers but springs you put for the first time on a chair. Though I liked your work so instead of like on this video i gave to you subscribe and see in the future if things improve.

[@chrigunrestauration]

Thanks. The video was cut in the background. I think that was the reason.

As this was a competition between three channels, I'll give my feedback on the video. You were filming a bit too close. Several ocations the camera was focusing on your hands instead on what you were doing. Few times also your hands were in front of the camera the way we couldn't see what you were doing. End result was beautiful. You are clearly very skilled at what you do 😊

Привет коллега, работа проделана большая, сложная, очень сложная. Самое сложная часть работы, это закрепить пружины и наполнение. Столярные работы выполнить проще, значительно проще, чем классическую обивку с пружинами. Из за того что классическая реставрация процесс сложный, а получаемый результат не всегда радует. Антиквары и сотрудники музея лучше и ПРАВИЛЬНО оценят результаты выполненых работ с этим стулом. Я не имею цели обидеть мастера, мне лично не нравится как подготовлена поверхность под лак. Я уверен поверхность должна быть ровной и гладкой. А мебель должна выглядеть как новая. (Шеллаком этого не добиться) По этому я занимаюсь только восстановлением мебели и в работе применяю только современные инструменты и материалы. С уважением ваш коллега и подписчик. П.с. я не говорю на английском, только русский. ---- Hello colleague, a lot of work has been done, difficult, very difficult. The most difficult part of the job is to fix the springs and filling. Carpentry is easier to do, much easier than the classic upholstery with springs. Due to the fact that classical restoration is a complex process, and the result is not always pleasing. Antiquarians and museum staff will better and CORRECTLY evaluate the results of the work done with this chair. No offense, I have no purpose to offend the master, I personally do not like how the surface is prepared for varnish. I'm sure the surface should be smooth and even. And the furniture should look like new. (Shellac will not achieve this) For this reason, I am engaged only in the restoration of furniture and use only modern tools and materials in my work. Sincerely, your colleague and subscriber. PS I don't speak English.

Чувствуется, что мягкая мебель с пружинным каркасом - не ваша стихия. Слишком светлая обивка для тёмного стула. Если брать светлую ткань, то взять оттенок, что сочетается со светлыми прожилками в отделке стула. Всё, что связано с работой по дереву - сделано превосходно.

The chair is gorgeous. Great job of restoration. I once restored an antique chair, but I used a heavy foam cushion for the seat on top of a plywood support that I used for the base instead of webbing. It wasn't a kosher restoration, but it turned out beautifully and everyone admired it. I gave it to my daughter and her father-in-law claimed it for himself. He spent many a happy year sitting in that chair before he passed.

[@chrigunrestauration]

Hello. Then it served its purpose very well. 😀👍 Greetings
