The builders BROKE the chair! / 1930-s chair repair

Some years ago I restored this chair, but the client brought it back to me for repair, because his home builders accidentally broke the legs. This chair type was very common here in Estonia through 1920-1930. Its made of oak and the backrest is made of plywood and walnut veneer. Usually there is set of 6 chairs and a extendable table. After 1940 they started to use cheaper materials and also the design was simplyfied.

It's interesting that the builders won't own up for breaking the chair. Probably ripped off the cliet too. Thank goodness for restoration masters.

[@AiMR]

I hope the owners made a claim against their insurance for the restoration costs.

[@artepresente4390]

Parabéns vc é ótimo no que faz admiro seu trabalho. Amo esse tipo de arte...

[@Cradley684]

Excellent job friend, Stay Safe !!!.

[@michaelz8260]

One thing I really like is that your workshop is so well lit and neat.

[@Ugofant]

I can't say how I apprecieate that a pro like you shares his knowledge instead of keeping for itself. Thank you!

[@brianvittachi6869]

In these days of throwaway Ikea stuff it's nice to see an expert craftsman give new life to a piece of old furniture.

[@welchtemplarmotorcycles2933]

Brilliant work as usual. Heard my old mum’s voice in my head shouting “don’t lean on that chair”, when you tested it. 🥴😖🤣🤣

[@tinydancer7426]

Yeah. My mom's line was, "That chair has four legs for a reason. USE THEM!"

[@adrianatorres9644]

I watched with one eye open whilst cringing when you sat back and reclined. Great job!

[@maretteschulz8898]

🤣..me too...especially when I heard the 'creak ' noises....lol

[@jonathanyoung3684]

Lol. I love the intro as well as all the work you do on these projects. Keep up the great work.

[@anonony9081]

I love your videos thanks. Don't change, I like how thorough they are!

[@tobiasbostwick9002]

Hahaha! That opening shot! Very fine work Sir. I always enjoy and learn, thanks for sharing.

[@jessedaron6971]

I AM GETTING TO BELIEVE YOUR SHOP IS #1 ! THE BEST SHOP OF ALL THE SHOPS FOR RESTORATIONS AND WOOD WORKS I HAVE SEEN ON KZbin! - AND I I HAVE SEEN ALMOST ALL OF THEM! 😎

[@divine91177]

Oh my.. You leaned back in that chair and i immediately flashed back to my mother losing her mind at me as a child. 😂 Another great restore.

[@jeriandersen4205]

Same here. I could hear her voice echo from 50 tears ago.

[@jobkneppers]

Thank you again! Nice job as always! Don't let the negative comments put you down. They're wrong. Best, Job

[@ATRestoration]

I appreciate that!

[@helenakhudyna2360]

Loved the surprized look when discovering the brake. Love when you have fun. But the color matching and finishing bring me the biggest joy. So satisfying!

[@AiMR]

Your stain matching skills are unmatched!

[@Cypher791]

Nicely Re-Re-Restored

[@amunarjoh]

Nice job!

[@ruudmobile6726]

You restored it once? "Now it's time to do it right" funny in this context ... "Now it's time to do it PERFECT"... "So I decided to make a new one".... easiest choice of all.... PERFECTION!!!

[@cynthiat6505]

You’re making me chortle again. You’re funny and monumentally talented!

[@Greenacres1958]

I snorted when he walked away and then snuck back across. Couldn’t help it. It was too funny.

[@user-lz7qd4rg4b]

I like that you use hide glue and shellac on the old pieces. The chair gag was cute.❤😊

[@user-px4dm1ss7f]

В начале 😁😁 юмора 👍👍. Вы человек золотой рукой. Дай бог вам здоровье. Спасибо за видик. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@davidharris241]

Amazing restoration! Every single item you fix is done to perfection! I reallyyyyyy enjoy your videos, and get so excited each time you post a new one. Thank you for making them!

[@1954JDR]

Beautiful!

[@thinking-monkey]

Looks great! Better than new. Literally better than new because the weak-grained wood was replaced with much better wood. Great job as always!

[@deborahdanhauer8525]

Beautiful old chair with nice lines. I’m glad you could save it. If I hadn’t watched you do the repair, no one would be able to convince me it was done. Great work!🤗🐝❤️

[@dr.skipkazarian5556]

The reconstruction talent of a physician! Well done, sir.

[@cab102361]

I love when you show your sense of humor.

[@user-il4le8iy1q]

Ай, да маэстро! И насмешил тонким юмором, и испугал падением стула, и удивил снова блестящим конечным результатом! Восторг и восхищение за артестизм и мастерство! 👍👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯😂😘

[@alipeacock3685]

You are the Harry Potter of restoration ! Just amazing

[@martinperlander7455]

Beautiful.

[@donfenton7473]

You are an amazing craftsman. I could watch you all day. I watch other people repair items but you are by far the best. I am not just saying that, I just started watching your channel a few weeks ago. Please don’t stop.

[@anniel3305]

As always, beautifully done. Nice that you were able to save it and shame on them for breaking and not telling the owners... You do amazing work!

[@raymaes823]

I found an old rocking chair for patio. It's not as bad as your projects but you inspire me tear apart n fix. Thanks for showing details. Your awesome

[@michaelkohl9728]

Impeccable. Period!

[@spamdump4459]

Such a plain design for a chair shows what can be done with straight lines and a few simple curves. Enjoyed watching the restoration process.

[@lindacarlotti333]

I like your videos. Your humor is great. Thank for all I learn from your videos.

[@user-yd8ef1hm3w]

I like both. It depends on the situation. You do great work. I’m learning much from watching your techniques!

[@anthonychavez3742]

Excellent video AT

[@lornanorris1363]

I have the utmost respect for the restorations you do and how you do them, I do learn a lot watching these videos. You and Chester are by far the best restoration guys out there so far, keep up the good work 👍

Its pleasure to watch. Thanks!

[@normafollet7156]

Very well done as Usual AT.

[@Lia2222]

New sub because you deserve it and i love learning from your abilities. Others would toss the pieces and go for much easier pieces to update. Not you, there is hope in every piece you see. Very impressive!

[@CatrinaMarieTCB]

Wow. That's sneaky of people. Why couldn't they be honest and just tell you it broke. I'm Glad you came to the rescue and saved the day again!😊

[@michaelshipman1171]

It’s good to see furniture repaired rather than thrown out which happens all too often. Well done.

[@retiredafce3373]

I am a Carpenter and I started my career in the US AIR FORCE. My first duty station was in Germany. I learned so much from my German masters! I loved it so much I was stationed there three separate times.

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Beautiful work as always

[@saigorBR]

Sr. your work is so professional and carefull and clean! It is just wonderfull and inspiring. I was thinking If some day you could show us more of your skills and patience making a rocking chair from scratch.

[@beadowarrior]

Another excellent job from the Billy Bob Thornton of furniture repair!

[@jz9985]

Great to see your significant skills in saving what many would throw away in our society. Joe

[@pitsnipe5559]

Can’t believe how well you blended the new stain with the old! Nice!

[@anonony9081]

You should have a contest to see who can guess how many clamps you have in your shop

[@ATRestoration]

Viewer: How many clamps do you have? Me: Yes!

[@Case2_0]

@@ATRestoration I see you have my sense of humor

[@simonmcowan6874]

A well know fact, "you can never have too many clamps"

[@karenmitchell3947]

Q: How many clamps do you have? A: Not enough!

[@rhiannadelerres7500]

That creak. Omg. Skeeeered me! Lovely work 🙏🏽❤️🇺🇲

Thanks! I´ve been in Paris, every house looks like a masterpiece. By the way, Estonians discovered recently that we have one lighthouse built by Eiffel himself.

Your attention to detail and fine craftsmanship skills are completely rad👍!!

[@Joe1935429]

Chairs are the things that hold us. Therefore special attention goes into materials and workmanship. And grain matters around stress areas. Technically and aesthetically great work! Thanks. (I had no doubts when you tested the chair.)

[@VishalVoraUK]

This is incredible work. I’m very happy to have found this channel.
