In this video I restore 200 year old rotten and eaten by woodworms chair that was in pieces when I found it. It looked like something that washed up on a beach rather than a piece of furniture...

You should call this chair Lazarus because you resurrected it from the dead.
😂😂
I like that comment. I have to agree, it’s now the “Lazarus chair”
Indeed! 😊
I totally agree! 😅
😂😂
As a professional furniture conservator in private practice for over 50 years, I want to say that I was impressed with your video, your humility and the results. I started watching this video because I thought the chair was beyond repair. You did a fantastic job. I feel your pain when the crest did not fit, but you solved the problem. And I appreciate your shot of the Old Brown Glue, which I developed and now sell internationally. My best wishes for future projects.
Really?????? You’ve developed the glue? That’s so cool. Thank you for watching and much appreciated compliments 💛
Just curious. You seem to be in England. Did you source your OBG from Workshop Heaven?
Old Brown Glue (hide glue) would have been a good choice for the other glued joints too (but not the repairs) , rather than polyurethane. I buy it here in Canada from Lee Valley.
What a nice thing to say to him. That must mean a lot coming from a professional. I too love that he tries so many different techniques. And it is because of this channel that I have seen your product and intend to purchase some for a restoration of a chest of drawers that I have had in storage for too long.
@@wpatrickedwards I am in Bristol UK. OBG? As in the glue? Amazon I think
I have done furniture work for over 40 years! You performed a total miracle on this. I have restored a lot of antique furniture but this is truly amazing. You are also finishing this the right way. Wonderful job. It really looks nice. Thank you for sharing!
That’s very kind. Thank you 😊
If you hadn’t told us the back was wonky, I’d never have noticed. It went from kindling to usable furniture, which is just amazing. Lovely work!
I’ve never felt sorry for a chair until now - and so pleased to see how you resurrected it - Bravo! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Thank you! 😊
You have the gold hands.
I’m always impressed by how you challenge yourself, and I can only imagine how disappointing it was to get to the final stage of reassembly only to find it was going to present another difficulty. It looks phenomenal. I agree with Loretta: this chair deserves the moniker Lazarus!
Ha ha thanks mate 💚
My jaw dropped...So beautiful...so amazing...Your patience, skill and dedication have created SUCH BEAUTY from an old, sad, broken, chair to create a work of ART.
I can't believe you actually resurrected that beautiful masterpiece
I never would’ve suspected that you did most of these steps for the “first time”. Excellent job and good on you for going for it!
What a masterpiece! Your devotion to a quality finished piece is appreciated. Kudos for working with such a challenging restoration!
Thank you and thanks for watching !
Carrol !!!
When you said the backrest didn’t fit, OMG,
I expected something other than what you did!!! So proud of you, too, that you didn’t give up !!! Nor did i expect the beauty that you restored !!! Is that seat made from a burl grain ?
You ARE the MAN !!!!
Thank you for the cool content.
Сool Мaster!!! ❤👍‼️
I’m always impressed by your patience and meticulous detail work. I LOVE watching you work, but that new sand blasting vacuum machine is mesmerising….bliss to watch. I think this chair is one that nine out of ten folk would have thought of as drift wood and started a beach bonfire, but not you. It’s fascinating to see all your techniques come in to play. Loved this video🎉🎉🎉🎉
Awesome, thank you! Glad you enjoyed
I’m always amazed with your work and how you’re not afraid to try any technique to get the results you want.
Your tool collection has really grown since your early videos too.
Thank you very much!
Jay, you are such an amazing autodidact, because of your gutsiness. I hope you keep the bow chair; it is so unique and it represents so many challenges which you met so well. Congratulations on your use of your lathe and your first spindle. The chair is beautiful.
Wow, thank you! much appreciated
Jay, despite the problem with the backrest, the finished chair is absolutely beautiful! You were up to the challenge, overcoming all the obstacles. I love that you don’t quit on a project but find ways to see them through to the end.
That’s very kind. Thank you 😊
You can not do more than you did! The chair looks fantastic!
I have never seen a chair like this. It is absolutely beautiful. Amazing how you gave it life again. I love watching your videos!!! Thank you so much!!!
Glad you enjoyed it
That restoration is nothing short of incredible!! I am always amazed by your skills and your attention to detail!!
Thank you so much 😀
You worked a miracle on this poor pitiful chair, Jay. Kudos for all your hard work, and for the cameo with Hugo!
Thank you very much!
Wow, you've saved a little piece of history with your amazing restoration. What a fantastic job you made of this gorgeous little chair!
💛🥰
This is one of my favourite furniture restoration videos I’ve ever seen. Love it! You’ve given that old chair a new lease on life and possibly extended its life by another 150 plus years. Preserved something for another 6-7 generations is just phenomenal. Such a gorgeous result. I can see now why restored antiques demand lofty prices. Worth every cent.
Wow, I would never believe you could have transformed that pile of wood into a beautiful chair. Love it!
I’m in awe of your patience not to mention your exceptional talent
That’s very kind 💛
You sir are an example to anyone who aspires to be a woodworker. That chair was looking like a lost cause but you saw the beauty in it. It turned out so beautifully, I’m amazed. That piece will grace someone’s home for years to come. Excellent job! Love Hugo he’s adorable!
Wow, thank you!
What a wonderful restoration. Admirable job.
You did an absolutely phenomenal job of restoring this chair. It's beautiful. And congratulations on turning your first spindle. I'm no woodworker, but I'd say you did an excellent job of copying the original.
Thank you so much 😀
I Wholeheartedly Agree!
WOW! I’m so pleased that you stuck with it and saved this beautiful old chair. Surely this has got to be one of the toughest challenges you’ve taken on and the result is gorgeous.
Thank you so much!
What an amazing job! Have you considered using a steam chamber to soften warped pieces and return them to their original shape? Great to see an old item brought back to life!
I’m very impressed with your ability to make and repair old furniture.😂😂😂😂
What a georgeous piece of furniture you rescued. I sew and knit a lot and I know from experience that because I have intimate knowledge of what I created, I see all its flaws when others cannot. This chair is that for you. You can see what we cannot. You did a fabulous job! It's beautiful. And a piece of history was saved.
AGREED! I’m exactly the same. I know where the mistakes are but no one else can tell. Also hand made beats machine churned every time.
Very kind. Thank you 😊
That was amazing…you took something beyond repair and probably made it look better than it did when it was brand new. You have amazing skills. You are a joy to watch.
🥰💛💚
Incredible job, looks amazing. You brought it back to life, saving some history
Oh my, absolutely beautiful. I’m imagining the guy who made it 200 years ago applauding in the background.
Considering what you started with, this is nothing short of AMAZING. Excellent job on the spindle. I'm blown away by the results. 👏
You've literally resurrected that chair from the dead! fantastic job as usual!! Impressed with your first time on the lathe. I've always wanted a go on one of those believe it or not. It's hard to believe jut how far you've come without any tuition, well done 😊
Thank you 🙏 and try it😉 or sign up for a class.
@@Flippingdrawers My friends actually got one in his workshop ,neither of us has had a go on it yet lol
Considering what you started with, I think you did a wonderful job restoring this chair. It’s so fun to see you problem solve and try new techniques. Awesome!
Thank you! 😊
What you were able to do with the chair is amazing. It is beautiful and the color and finish is equally beautiful.
Just amazing! How did you even see the potential in those dried up old twigs! It looks stunning ❤
You never cease to amaze me. Never used a lathe for woodturning yet you did an fabulous job!! The whole project was amazing!
Thank you! Cheers!
Wow! What a beauty! Good for another couple hundred years. This restoration is sympathetic to the age and originality of the piece. Imperfection in a chair this age is expected and part of its history. Another great save. Well done....again.❤
Thank you very much!
WOW! The color is stunning and it looks beautiful! Amazing patience and determination!😊
You are really a great performer! I love the way you comment and discribe your job! Thank you so much to show the world how to renovate wooden furniture! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from me!
Thank you so much!
Looks like you had fun making that spindle. Nothing wrong with having fun when you are working on something this challenging! Congrats!
Thanks 😊
As a lover of antiques , and an amature furniture restorer , l found this video absolutely amazing ! You did a wonderful jib of restoring this beautiful chair .😂 absolutely amazing !!😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a challenge, and what a great job you did.
Absolutely awesome job !!! Your attention to detail really pays off. Yay on the lathe!
Thank you 😊
I know that you weren't 💯% happy with this project but it looks pretty amazing to me. Moreover, from the way it was to your restoration, you did an incredible job. 👏
I appreciate that!
You did a Beautiful Job Restoring this Old, Old Chair. Your Skills Are Amazing. This Super Antique Was Well Worth Saving. Great Job!!
Wow. From firewood to a thing of beauty. Your skills continue to improve as well as your editing and voice overs. Well done Sir. 👍👏
Thank you very much!
You’ve done an amazing job! Love the results & would welcome this as a family “member”!
I’m sure the original person who built this chair would be in shock and awe and your craftsmanship to bring this chair back ❤
A very challenging project! Although it didn’t come together as you planned, it is now a beautiful piece of furniture and a lovely addition to any home.
Truly a remarkable restoration. I wouldn’t have thought it possible.
Well done.. for all the hard work put into this piece, you certainly aren't a quitter! An amazing resurrection 🤗
You are the woodworking wizard ! Unbelievable restoration ! Great job for a piece that was so far gone.A piece of history has a new life !
This is my first time watching your work and I’m completely HOOKED! You gave this amazing old chair new life ❤ So many today would rather throw things away than fix or restore them. I was so impressed when you indicated that there were techniques you’d never done prior to this chair…we’d never know if we could be successful if we never try, right? My husband has done woodworking all his life and I’m very much a novice. He’s been teaching me tips and tricks, and how to use the technical equipment. What a joy to watch you work! Bravo! And your kitty is a doll ❤ Thank you so much for sharing and not giving up on this gorgeous piece of history.
Another magnificent piece! Absolutely beautiful. Don’t know why you were doubting your ability to turn that spindle, we all knew you could do it. 👍🏻
Thank you very much!💚
It is so satisfying to watch something that is so far gone, come back to life. Beautifully restored. And Hugo is a rock star (and adorable) 😻❤🇦🇺
Cat visits are the cherry on the video lol. If this little chair could talk it would thank you for saving its life.
Thanks 🙏
Considering how this looked when you started it is amazing how it turned out. Proves that if you want to do something you can.
Beautiful chair😊
Thank you! Cheers!
Awesome job, it looked like trash to me! Who could have imagined it would turn out so awesome 😎! Great job on the spindle too! I so love the end result!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much 😀
Your restoration on this chair is remarkable ! I love it and am so amazed how you restore old pieces back to their originality.
Thank you! Cheers!
Hello from California. I’m Jim. I have been enjoying your videos. I want to share that your respect for pieces and craftsmanship combined with your integrity and skill; the kindness towards four legged supervisor(s) makes viewing a joy. Thank you for sharing and for helping me learn about wood restoration techniques.
I've watched you tackle a good many lost causes, but this one is by far your best restoration yet. Kudos for your guts to take it on. ❤
Thank you very much!
Another piece brought back from the dead! Nobody else would have attempted that chair, and you turned it into a masterpiece! As you add more skills into your repertoire, you will find it easier and faster to accomplish your goals. It seems that you love your new sand blaster! Your lathe work was spot on! I can't wait to see what you will do next. I know that it will be truly impressive. As always!!!
Thanks, much apreciated
Old things have a soul.
Thank you to repare the soul.
His work is always impeccable, worthy of an artist. Congratulations, and a big hug straight from Brazil!
Wow! It went from firewood( my opinion) to a fine piece of furniture! Your turning skills are impressive, to say the least! You should be proud!
Thank you 😊 glad you enjoyed it
Wow!! Your transformation is astounding, not to mention your perseverance, determination and skill! It's gorgeous!!
Thank you 😊
❤❤❤Hugo is so cute. He seams so helpful.
Просто чудо какое-то так преобразить практически сломанный стульчик в такую эксклюзивную вещь молодец нет слов как здорово 😊
That was totally amazing!! 🥰 And being imperfect made it more so. You have the touch my man. Just ask the cats, the will tell you! 💙💙💙
Thank you! Will do😂
What a beautiful piece of restoration. The thing if I had tried it would never have looked that nice. Also I would like to say that for a 1st time on the lathe, well kudos to you. That piece matched really well. You sir are a man of exceptional talent.
Thank you very much!
It's always a pleasure to see your meticulous work and to watch you problem-solve along the way. I can hardly believe the before and after are the same chair. Well done! (Great spindle, too!)
You restored what most would have just ignored or burned and made a thing of beauty!
Wow what a transformation Jay, beautiful indeed. You always amaze me with your talent and having a go at trying new things (wood turning) you’re a natural talent indeed my friend 😊❤️
That’s very kind 😊 thanks Donna
You did an outstanding job on a piece that most would’ve thrown away. I know it didn’t end up perfectly, but you truly did a wonderful job. And kudos on the lathe work - not too shabby for your first time! 😊
thanks ;-)
This is a superb restoration! I'm glad you rescued that old chair from the woodworm! 🙂👍
Thank you very much!
I love how red the finish came out! Beautiful! Sometimes, brown is boring. This unusual chair needed an unusual look. 👏
Absolutely amazing. I certainly would've passed on this chair because the wood looked unsalvageable. Obviously, nothing is unsalvageable when it comes to your skills and determination.
Thank you very much!
You are amazing !! This piece was incredibly difficult but you took on the project like a champ !!! Absolutely mind-blowing skill !!! Also, your tool collection is turning into a beautiful studio of woodworking tools. How your focus has changed from your early days! I am an OG viewer, and your dedication to saving old pieces is an inspiration !!!❤
thanks ❤️
I just can't say what an amazing job you did on this piece! Wow! Fantastic work!
If this chair could talk, it would say, "THANK YOU". Amazing transformation.
What a learning journey! You made it look beautiful but what a process. Congratulations on your first wood turning. That is really a skill. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much!
Wow, just wow. You did a fantastic restoration on this one. It’s gorgeous now.
Thank you 🙏
Looking at the before picture and seeing the results of the final repairs, you should be so proud of your hard work. You turned this piece back to its former glory. If you had not taken this on, the chair would have ended up truly dead. You gave it back its life and, for that, you should be praised. Kudos to a job very well done!
Enjoy seeing the care with which you treat this precious old chair! 😌
Amazing job! You shouldn't doubt yourself about trying these kind of projects. You are so good at them.
Thanks 🙏
That turned out absolutely gorgeous! Your attention to detail is just amazing. I don’t know that I ever would’ve noticed that about the back and I not watched you do it. You have a wonderful talent!
"The best you could" is so extraordinarily wonderful and so much better than most. This little chair was waiting for you to come along. As for me, I like the indentations and imperfections in an old, well-used piece of furniture. I try to imagine how is was used and loved over the years. In this case, I see children sitting in it. Great job! Be proud of your exquisite work.
Wow, thank you!
All of us watching were saying "Of course , you can do it!" You are infinitely talented.
Thank you
That's absolutely amazing. You did a fantastic job ❤
It is difficult to find words to describe the magnificence of this project - vision, skill, determination, bravery, and discovery. I'm in awe.
🥰🥹 that’s very kind
A true artisan. Wonderful.
It will stand for another 100 years. Beautiful job.
Amazing! To fix something that was so broken and have it all come together in the end is simply amazing. You should be very happy with the results and now, we look forward to seeing more chair repairs!!
Wow, thank you!
You did an amazing job on this piece. It looks absolutely beautiful for something you have never done before. I would love to see another piece that you haven't ever done before. You are such an awesome person, THANK YOU
Thank you so much!💛
This looks wonderful! What a exceptional job you did!
You are a miracle worker! You turned fire wood into a beautiful chair.
Maravilloso el trabajo que haces , he visto el trabajo de otros y son muy buenos , pero lo que tú haces es magia ! Saludos desde México!
Great restoration. I enjoy the way you share your new experiences with us. Love your videos. ❤
Thank you 🙏
I'm here for Hugo. Amazing work, too!
This is less a furniture restoration than it is an archeological curation
