Title: Fixing the chairs leg, everything went wrong

[@atrestorationplus]

Tell me, how much would you charge for this work?

[@marcusott2973]

Where I live in Austria, 70€ per hour work excl. 15% Tax. ➕ materials. Minimum, artist like you tend to charge a bit more.

[@vbee3571]

I have no knowledge on this subject but, with the hours involved plus your vast experience and talent, the rate of an artist and expert would be reasonable. In the US, that would be in the thousands.

[@lukasvondaheim]

@@marcusott2973 Scince a mechanic is around 120€ incl. tax in my area I think charging more would be appropriate. I would actually go to ~150€ per hour plus material

[@neomatrix6394]

One million dollars !!! ;)

[@marcusott2973]

@@lukasvondaheim I was quoting the price for basic carpentry as I said artist like him (Mőbelrestauratoren) charge quite a bit more.

[@michellemcculloch]

A master craftsman who is secure enough in his abilities to admit that even he makes mistakes and has ‘those’ days like the rest of us. So refreshing.

[@cathybenson5119]

Oh well, everyone can make mistakes. He's man enough to admit it.

[@DBKING04020]

If you have ever watched Bob Ross you know that he never makes a mistake, just happy accidents. I never understood that until he explained that it means that no matter what happens, you have the ability to make it work. You had several happy accidents with this one, and you had the opportunity to stretch your brain to fix them and in the end it DID come out great! Well done sir!

[@Rev-D1963]

Bad things happened, but it proves that you are human, like the rest of us! :) Most of us Americans would have declared that chair firewood to begin with; we are a wasteful lot. Sad that. Your patience and skills rewarded us all with a thing of beauty. Thanks again brother for sharing your videos with us. Peace and God's blessings be upon you. Reverend D.

[@victoriagreenfield5781]

I am still relatively new to your channels but the one thing that keeps me coming back is your honesty and sense of humor. I appreciate people who admit that they while they are professionals, mistakes can be made and not everything goes to plan. I’ve learned so much from you. Thank you!

[@war7334]

.In repairing anything always expect the unexpected.This gentleman always finds a way to make a repair no matter how difficult.

[@lielikealog]

What i say all the time is a true professional knows how to hide his mistakes .

[@vibesmom]

Believe it or not as a beginner it’s nice to see mistakes made. It reinforces that it’s part of the process, and I can be a little less hard on myself for making them.

I love chairs. Always surprisingly complex in their geometry and construction - we expect so much of them in terms of strength , beauty and comfort. In reality most are not financially worth repairing or restoring, but who can throw away the love and skill that went into them? You're honest, skilled and a privelege to watch working through the problems. Machines are great for mass production, but the best bits of this video (the successes) are almost exclusively when you picked up a chisel or other hand tool to do something that no machine could do. Machines and power tools are SO tempting, but hand tools are often the best to solve one-off complex problems. And way more satisfying! Keep up the good work - lovin' it, thanks. PLease keep sharing.

[@gannonhill8648]

I appreciate your honesty and commitment to this repair. Placing a video like this in public might have been tough but the learning we can all do from it is why this platform is here. 👏

[@ericvanvlandren8987]

Your channel is one of my absolute favorites. Thanks for showing that even a pro can have bad days - makes a hack like me feel better. Always inspired by watching you, thank you.

[@Vickie-Bligh]

Thank you for showing your mistakes and how you fixed those. Gorgeous chair and beautiful result. Wonderful. I've been missing your lovely work.

[@terranceparsons5185]

I'm glad you showed us your mistakes! I'm always doing this kind of thing.

[@lm7662]

Thank you. Even the best of us make mistakes, but most won't admit it. Beautiful Chair.

[@renabee8246]

I love how you showed reality. No matter how much experience we have, we still make mistakes. We are human.

[@janjones9748]

You are a true ARTIST! And so dedicated to making it perfect. Awesome video and work! Thanks for no music

[@vbee3571]

Oh man! It was just one of those days! But persistence and know-how won. It turned out beautifully-looks like the day it was brand new! 👍🏻

[@pamelabraman7217]

Hi Ahti You just proved again that wood is infinitely repairable. Very nicely done 😊

[@maddie8670]

I hate to say that it makes me feel better when I see someone with his skills mess up. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve believed that Im the only one who does this stuff. Thank you so much for posting this video.

[@AliPop]

These videos are addictive😀. That chair has eyes. It has character. A little bit mysterious.

[@28Cryptic743]

I'm glad you were showing that even professionals can make mistakes. very good job

[@marcusott2973]

Just one of those days, my dad a Swiss trained master watchmaker says: "experience is having made every mistake once!"

[@lauralake7430]

In nursing school the teachers said "experience is what you get when you don't get what you want!"

[@pteddie6965]

This chair did come out nice. It's so cool to watch you invent ways to repair defects in a piece that you are repairing as well as cover mistakes that you might make while you are working on a piece. Thanks for sharing this video with us.

[@JerroldKrenek]

i LOVE how you show your mistakes.

[@sotongh1]

it came out nice, indeed.. lots of these old chairs have characters.. and worth restoring.. keep it up.

[@williamstyers4264]

I love the fact that you use shellac instead of varnishes for you finish. I love the beautiful look that it gives and the ease with which it can be applied. Wonderful work. Especially when you make mistakes and are willing to admit it and then fix them. Kudos!!

[@tommiekebab1929]

With all the things going wrong, you did a very good job.

[@vickiel914]

It came out great! Glad to see even pros like you have those kinds of days!

[@jcsrst]

The mark of a great craftsman is the ability to fix your own mistakes! Everyone makes them, not all can fix them.

[@richardroy61]

As usual, I find solutions in your videos to problems I come across. Thank you for sharing your experience and ingenuity.

[@welchtemplarmotorcycles2933]

Excellent and beautiful work as usual. The mistakes just prove your human, and we all have days like that. Had more than my share lately. It’s how we deal with them that show our strength of character. ✊👍

[@espalierhillkorea]

You fixed it perfectly. It's so amazing.

[@MrJono1999]

What a fantastic repair. I really appreciate the fact that you have shown your mistakes and how you corrected them. Superb video. Please keep up the great work.

[@ellenherstead1343]

Good to see you again!😃

[@oldmanrunnerrob]

I have to admit an attitude of appreciation that you have shown that even professionals have things go crazy sometimes! Nice work getting it done!

[@ritavalade7049]

Oh gosh…. What a day you had!!! Thanks for sharing the struggles…and the success! I had a day like that also!! Big hug from Michigan, USA.

[@richardbenson2125]

I love this one. There’s more to learn by seeing how you handle the mistakes. Thank you!🎉

[@TheJcs555]

Your repairs are seamless! Beautiful work! :-)

[@smartnsassy7885]

I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who has bad days. ☺️❤️

[@marieb9926]

Yes, despite all the errors it came out beautiful. Your problem solving skills were really tested that day but u persevered and it turned out great 👍🏾

[@war7334]

You are a master at knowing what to repair and what to replace.I really do believe you need all those tools.

[@troon5488]

Despite the problems, one of my favourite videos yet!

[@chandarussell]

Oh well done. We all have our off days but you didn’t let it beat you. Chair looks great.

[@woodybeck8966]

Amazed at the effort, and obvious skill, that went into restoring a quite ordinary oak chair. Well done.

[@carmensaify]

it is encouraging to see pros having an off day- ive def had a few! Project came out great after all.

[@AB50yrslater]

Thanks for showing that even pros make mistakes.That takes humility, and knowing you have the skills to fix them. Well done!

[@petervandermolen9835]

Wonderful restoration.

[@careyalderson7276]

Would never laugh at you........laugh with you, yes. Been there, done that!!! Great job. Awesome looking work.

[@axiss007]

The work is done with love and very high quality - Like!!!!

[@channelsixtysix066]

Up until around six minutes in, I was thinking this is going beautifully. What's Ahti on about. Then ..... a series of unfortunate events. No matter, the end result is beautiful job.

[@michaelpage7691]

Been there. Done that. Your only human. Glad you showed the mistakes because, as they say, we all learn from it. Lovely job in the end.👍🏻🇦🇺😁

[@josephinehogg3629]

How wonderful to see that you are truly Superhuman, being able to show your mistakes and laugh at them

[@autodidactin]

You saved the day after all; well done!

[@orrozeta2183]

Really a Great job. Very well done. Compliments.

[@katrinamenio3230]

Amazing work. Despite so many problems you cannot tell where the new wood is, or the repairs made, excellent craftsman.

[@olgapaulus7299]

Nice job once more! Thank you.

[@TheCraftyMagnolia]

I think EVERY craftsperson has a day (or several) like this. It's when you just have to lay the tools down and wait until tomorrow. LOL

[@andrepienaar6459]

Thank you for showing how you fix your mistakes! I for one will benefit a lot from it! I make a lot of mitsakes, uh, mistakes.

[@carlam6669]

I am always amazed at how well the new stain matches the old stain. Even if you are able to use exactly the same stain as original, the wood itself likely has different colors or has aged.

[@ercidiniz8603]

Amo o capricho do seu trabalho 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@nancyantrim3130]

Another good job. The chair does look nice.

[@JuneSivell]

could feel your frustration as things seemed to conspired to go wrong. It turned out well though as you persevered and didn't throw it in the bin.

[@timemachineeddie1146]

Love it. Great Job.

[@DrFaltermeier]

It is very commendable that you show the hickups in the project. I salut you.

[@PatrickEgener]

Thank you for sharing even the mistakes that can be made. I think that helps anyone who wants to repair a beloved chair by DIY (me). And I didn't realize that old oak is so tricky and I will take that to heart as well. But it's exciting that you have such a soft spot for chairs ... Thanks a lot for your excellent videos!!! (good light, so many details etc ... and you as well) 👍

[@MateoNomas1990]

I just played the "finish job" music in my head as I watched the final look of your repair

We all have those kind of days!

[@aurelianomedeiros1533]

Lindo trabalho feito com amor! Nota 10!

[@ElizabethFranquiEsq]

Miracle worker!

[@davidharris241]

Beautiful job! I really admire your finishing work. The color is dead-on perfect. Cool how you sanded a little to add 'wear' at the end. On the$ question- As a customer, I'd probably expect to pay $200 to $250 for a result like that...but I'm just guesstimating. Thanks for another great video.

A great woodworker is one who knows how to hide their mistakes. Great work Ahti! Scott

[@euxiolueiro3581]

Muy buen restaurador fino y limpió

[@ericsa2636]

Great job! The countless number of times I had to do similar repairs🙄!! Weakest spot on a chair is always where the seat meets the back legs. Owners then try and glue everything back together again, just making a bigger mess of it. With stained wood one can still hide the patched inlays, but unstained wood with clear varnish is a bugger

[@atrestorationplus]

So true!

[@FixingFurniture]

I hate to deal with failed owner repairs. It make the repair more difficult.

[@lauralake7430]

The kind of thing my son's have tried to glue, because " no one", that mysterious creature, has broken the chair!

[@lua4221]

it's that tell-tale eyeroll that made me giggle

[@judymielcarek6011]

Just like new! ❤

[@deniseb4426]

[@philipstreechon4523]

[@briangoldberg4439]

you have such a good eye for matching color. i think that's very difficult
