Old Stool Restoration

[@Restomaniac]

While editing my restoration videos, I remove the scenes that I think are unnecessary or long. Of course, I used clamps in the restoration of this stool.

[@richard2mitchell]

Maybe show us with just a pic after the camp up. So people know but you don't have to show that whole process as a video.

[@diyresttube]

removing nail was the trickiest part.

[@lourias]

Why the metal bar on the seat? It added no strength. The line from the break was minimal compared to all the other splits in the seat. MY OPINION. Maybe there is a higher selling value with "different." I am just a plain-Jane kine of girl.

[@JerroldKrenek]

@@lourias i would have used 2 pcs of brass. one to cover the crack and one on the other side to keep it even.

[@lourias]

@@JerroldKrenek okay. That makes more sense than anything I was thinking. Thanks.

[@beverlydavis7613]

I am totally amazed to see the transformation that takes place as you so patiently put your expertise and craftsmanship to work and transform these objects that would to someone else probably be taken as mere junk, you make a masterpiece!!! BRILLIANT and Beautiful!!!😊

[@Restomaniac]

Thank you so much 😊🤗

[@lexipace9511]

I love that everyone is giving out constructive criticism like this person asked for any of it. Go make your own stool if you don't like their's.

[@Restomaniac]

Very nice idea 😊

[@melodienaber3238]

Brass inlay, my personal preference. Beautiful restoration! ❤❤❤

[@Restomaniac]

Thank you 😊

[@sherriestockdale7038]

A real cutie. Love how you saved the seat instead of replacing it. You kept the character and charm of your stool with the burn marks. Great job....

[@Restomaniac]

Thank you 😊

[@MrTarmonbarry]

You have great taste Sherrie, what you mention is one of the things i like about his restorations , keeping the history and not trying to make it perfect

[@helenchilcott6024]

So very nice to see old things which most people would simply throw out brought back to life and usefulness. Perfectly sound wood with lots of 'life experience' reborn. Love it!

[@Restomaniac]

Thank you very much 😊

[@debloui]

So glad you saved this piece. It has so much character. Beautiful.

Love This … that steel bar looks so great against the old, old, old wood stool … very eclectic

[@Restomaniac]

Thank you very much :)

[@mosaiques23]

That piece of metal on the top was completely unnecessary. Otherwise nice job.

[@tedlym.3390]

The metal bar is unnecessary but, I think the metal bar added as a decorative accent looks good.

[@josemamani2580]

I agree 👍

[@jadoser1]

Transformation, not restoration, in my opinion. Nevertheless, great job.

[@bettybarkdull9518]

A wider bar could have been centered.

[@khalidaakhtar3938]

I also agree

[@MrBostjanVidmar]

Niece! What I like the most is that you didn't try to make a new stool out of it, like some do, sanding and polishing everything. The chair is old, and it should show that it has been through a lot in its time. At the same time, it's clear that it has been taken care of.

[@Restomaniac]

Thank you 😊

BUT WHY the metal??? If he had put two screws on either side of the joint to use the metal to keep it from ever seporatering again I would have understood its use but to drill through the joint just weakens it!

[@BillSchillaci]

Shows that there is no single approach to restoration. I liked the off-center placement of the metal bar and the use of an olive oil finish. I should mention that care should be taken when sanding a tenon face. The video shows that this compromises a snug fit with the mortise. I learned this the hard way.

[@Restomaniac]

Thank you for your comments.

[@LittleOne-gw1xr]

Always liked your work… love the pegs and sympathy for pieces history… not the metal bar

[@edgarhenryaranomejia5786]

Desde La Paz-BOLIVIA, gracias a las personas que trabajan en RESTOMANIAC, esta demostración de restaurar la madera me hizo comprender que no necesariamente es cambiar la pieza maltratada por una nueva, que esto significa NO ESTAR PREPARADO PARA ECONOMIZAR, NO ESTAR PREPARADO PARA CONSERVAR EL PLANETA TIERRA, NO ESTAR PREPARADO PARA SER IMAGINATIVO Y NO ESTAR PREPARADO PARA CONSTRUIR NUEVAMENTE. Muchísimas gracias de nuevo, esta demostración me elevó un nivel más alto.

I’m giving a go on this video, but I had to make a comment. The wood is suffering with the way you are getting those nails out. There is tools for it, that won’t hurt the wood so badly. I would use a nail puller for that.

[@willsedillo8580]

That piece of metal is actually pretty darn cool

[@maticus123]

First, great job. However some constructive criticism. When gluing the two halves together, it is actually better not to sand the mating surfaces, just ensure they are clean. This allows for a completely uniform joint to occur. Regarding the metal bar, it is a nice touch, but I would recommend using inletting black next time you do something similar. Gouge out the rough area, like you did, then apply the inletting black to the bottom side of the metal and place it in the groove. The inletting black will transfer to the wood and show exactly where you need to remove material, creating a perfect glove like fit (this is something I do often in custom stockmaking). Last, finish the wood prior to assembly. In this case, the wood was cracked and had tons of open pores. A perfect candidate for either shelf bought sealer or a sanded oil finish, where you essentially wet sand the finish into the wood which utilizes the saw dust created by sanding to create a perfect filler. These methods are much more tedious, but result in a restoration that retains the age of the wood, but properly finishes and protects it for years to come.

[@Restomaniac]

Thank you very much for your constructive criticism, suggestions and your time :)

Just what I love doing. Scour alleys and find a piece people throw out that has character and is worth restoring. Working on an old chair now that needs caning next. Pretty rough to start but am proud of the way it's turning out. You gave me ideas for an old stool with a screw turn that comes next. Seat is split also. Thanx ✌🏽

Absolutely stunning restoration mate. I thought you were going to fix the seat or restore it assembled. In hindsight, you were right on track and produced a stunning piece. I especially liked the burn marks left on the seat. I recently did the same with my father’s shaving box he made during WW2. He forever left burning cigarettes on things and burnt them. The restored piece is now a testament to him.

[@Restomaniac]

Thank you very much for your kind comments. Since this is my workshop stool, I wanted to leave it imperfect in accordance with its nature :)

You could have used the metal bar to strengthen the seat by drilling a row of holes down each side of the seam and putting in smaller screws.the way you did it adds nothing to the integrity of the seat. Better yet, you should have left the metal out altogether.the glue joint with the dowels was strong enough.

[@Restomaniac]

Hello, thank you for your comments. As I mentioned in the video, the purpose of the metal bar is purely decorative. The chair is already in good condition structurally.
