- I have restored dozens of Thonet chairs, but this time I wanted to do it differently....
LAZER : amzn.to/3k63wbD
Thonet chairs are most iconic chairs of all times. They started making them since 1850 and they are still made today. Their design is one of the best that has been ever invented. The chair is made out of beech that is steamed for 5 hours and then formed into metal molding. This method gives very durable structure. Rumor has it, that Thonet chair was allegedly thrown down from the Eiffel Tower to show how well made its structure is and it survived.

Hahahaha cool. The classic outro music is back. It just feels wrong without that cheesy riff
The man with a 1000 g-clamps! What craftsmanship, what integrity, what an eye for detail and also a sense of humour. I could never do any thing like this, I'm in awe of your work, bravo.
There's a saying among quilters that she who dies with the most fabric wins. I wonder if the same is true for woodworkers and clamps.
@@freethebirds3578 That would be too easy :)
I always notice the number of clamps being used! Glad I’m not the only one!

I love watching these videos and seeing a real top craftsman at work.
Imagine have these chairs in the dining room, and every one of them had a different one of those beautiful patterns they came in!
Before: "Hey that looks alright. What's the big deal?"
After: "WOW! What a difference. A TRUE restoration.
Gorgeous and such craftsmanship. I actually just bought this laser yesterday for my husband’s birthday. He does woodworking strictly as a hobby and I saw someone else I follow (who does woodworking/furniture restoration as hobby as well) use it, so I’m excited to give it to him. Just loving your channel, I’ve binge watched your videos this week and am in just awe at your work.
Beautiful chair-I love the design on the seat. Tested sitting down….not a single creak. 👍🏻. Excellent job-as always.
I’d never seen one of these with anything but the drilled hole pattern. This ended up very lovely
I've got one with a relief seat but it's very badly worn and barely recogniseable in some areas. The wood is stained a very dark red. My aunt wanted to get rid of the chair and gave it to me, telling me it was completely worthless. Considering she's a professional art restorer I tend to trust her.
The Thonet chair No. 14 was the first model built in the new bentwood technic (in 1850). The seat came with viennese braid. Later the seat also was built out of plywood, blank, drilled or with embossed ornament. I love the Thonet furniture. The classics as the modern ones.

I admire your work, I watch movies with great curiosity and inspiration. Soon the old bedside tables and the dressing table were renovated with a wooden mirror from before the 1st World War
Спасибо огромное. Всегда с удовольствием наблюдаю за вашей работой. Как говорится, можно бесконечно смотреть на то, как горит огонь, течет вода и как работает Человек.
It looks like an original that is in impeccable shape.
I love the design you chose for the chair seat and the lazer was fun to watch. I am curious how the patterns were originally done as I am sure they did not have lazers when the chairs were made. Thanks for showing the old catalogue of patterns that were available, I do like the one you used, great job as usual.
My guess is that they had a big iron plate with the pattern raised above the surface, and they basically used this as a big branding iron in a press to burn the pattern into the flat seat before forming it. I've seen that sort of thing done in a lot of old films where they were making furniture, boxes, or even fancy cakes where they wanted a label on it. I don't know for a fact it was done this way here, but it seems like a reasonable guess.
Another nice restoration friend, looks good, now you can sit down and have yourself a cup of coffee, have a nice day !!!.
OMG! Amazing timing! I have two of these I need to restore and I've never attempted it before.THANK YOU!
Das mit der Zange um den Schraubenzieher zu drehen ist ein wirklich guter Tipp für mich 😊
Absolutely Fabulous restoration ! Came out looking like new, as strong as when it was made, and
with an improved design on the chair seat. This is where Craftsmanship meets Artistry !
Люблю смотреть ваши работы. Вы счастливый человек, вы любите свою работу❤
My great aunt used to have these chairs in her small kitchen
Brings back wonderful memories
Not sure if my aunt has them stored in her loft now x
Like i told you before.. i always enjoy watching your videos and learn new tips (plug drillbit with 4 cuting edges) so i say again THANK YOU for sharing 👍
Yeah, I like this a lot better than all the holes. Looks great!
Beauty-full chairs. Great job.!
Greetings from México City 🇲🇽
Beautiful result. It looks so much better and the motive really inhances the beauty of the chair. Great workmanship.
Beautiful day. I admire your work. You have no idea how much I would like to meet you here in Slovakia. I have a chest of drawers over 100 years old from my dear old mother, it is damaged and I have no one to restore it.
Beautiful restoration. Would love a chair like that, especially after you have restored it so amazingly well!
i have watched a few of your videos on fb video tab and you..... master mechanics and chester..... are ABSOLUTELY AWE STRUCK how you all..... manage to grab something thats broken useless and rejected...... into a brand new fresh life of being used and loved again...im going to get this wrong.... but one of you salvaged a lathe???????

Мастер реставрации по дереву 👍
Absolutely top notch start to finish. Very well done !
Excellent. Now I know I love thonet chairs
Very Beautiful!!!!💜💜💜💜💜
Nice restoration. Crunchy woodwork ASMR.
Day and night difference,,,,,well done!
8:56 These oval head screws are quite hard to find! I needed one to complete a restoration of a pair of Thonet 233 style chairs. Could only find them in stainless steel so used it on the underside where it wouldn't easily be seen, and hand coloured the head with a marker pen to match the others. Your video has given me some useful tips - thanks!
8:45 Can't see whether you used glue - should the legs be glued into the seat base or press-fit? Thanks.
Смотрю и болдею, настоящий Реставратор🥰🥰🥰
Beautiful job! Cheers from Minnesota, USA.
I love Art nouveau. Thanks Ahti for another beautiful restauration.
Красавец венский стул. Старинная работа. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Me encanta este modelo de silla y que extraordinaria la Afuero Lászer 2. Saludos desde Montevideo, Uruguay, Sud America
У меня есть стул, абсолютно идентичный этому во всём, кроме того что у него нет ни каких отверстий в сиденье. Он стоит у меня на веранде и последние пятьдесят лет я сижу на нём, когда летом пью чай и смотрю на свой сад. А до этого на нём сидел мой дед.
Но он в совершенной исправности, только сильно потемнел за прошедшие годы.
Вот посмотрел и подумал - а может обновить? Или уж пусть внуки, если он будет им ещё нужен.
Отличная работа, как всегда. Посмотрел с удовольствием.
Ahhh yes, much better than before.
The laser is very cool, beautiful work!
Beautiful work !
And now I want one like that !
😭
Nice! Yet again I learned quite a few things, even about this chair I thought I knew well…
Вы волшебник, у вас во истину золотые ручки!
I love that press. Lol. It must be really old. Love the chair too.👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
That is just stunning! What a beautiful piece of art, and so beautifully restored. So glad I found your channel, you are a master craftsman.
Thank you!
Another beautiful restoration.
Your finishing skills are amazing 👍
С такими приборами и золотыми руками классно получается переделки.
I had to close my eyes for most of the laser engraving. Just to be safe 🤣 Amazing work once again dude 😎
The vice grip on the screwdriver trick you used is amazing, and I can’t believe I never thought of that! My day job is signage at a zoo, and we get a lot of stuck screws, and I’m totally using that! Beautiful work!!
Wow! Love the fancy printer machine thing 😃
Gorgeous! Another job very well done sir.
Also, "crunchy woodwork ASMR"- LOL Love it! 😆
What does ASMR stand for?
From Wikipedia: Autonomous sensory meridian response, sometimes auto sensory meridian response, is a tingling sensation that usually begins on the scalp and moves down the back of the neck and upper spine. A pleasant form of paresthesia, it has been compared with auditory-tactile synesthesia and may overlap with frisson.
From Oxford Languages: noun
a feeling of well-being combined with a tingling sensation in the scalp and down the back of the neck, as experienced by some people in response to a specific gentle stimulus, often a particular sound.
"ASMR is triggered by things like whispering voices, paper tearing, and scalp massage"
A true craftsman. Beautiful work. Thanks for letting us watch.
Thanks for your video. I also enjoy restoring old furniture!
Beautiful as usual. I like that the videos you post are so varied with what you choose to restore. Thank you for sharing your talent!
Superb craftsmanship. Thank you.
Excellent restoration 👍👍👍Thanks for sharing
Hello mister beautiful restoration good job well done my friend
Excellent workmanship! 👍
I love the design you gave it. The laser burners are terrific I been checking into them for doll house wood working. Thinking about giving one of my doll houses transoms above the doors, and the laser seems to be the best route to go. You do such great work on the pieces that I have seen. You have a wonderful day
Perfection achieved as usual. Congrats! 😊
Beautiful!!! Love watching the laser.

Thanks for the history of the chair, I have never heard of them and appreciated the new knowledge! Great job! God bless you and yours.👏👏👏👏👏😊
gosh you REALLY do have ALL the toys!
Since I first saw your videos it became the most interesting way to spend my leisure time. Not only watching . I started to restore old pieces of furniture of our family. God, its so interesting! Thank you - you have changed my life. I am an amature oil painter, people say not the bad one, but restoring old things seems more interesting for me.
How beautiful became the chair with that ornament on the seat! You delight us with your videos! Congratulations, it is very pleasant to watch your work!⚘
That is a beautiful finish.Birdy
This is awesome! I have two of these chairs. I found them at a beach in the sand as a place hold er for a car. Scooped them up. Love the idea.
Great job. It's a beautiful chair
Beautiful work! 👍🏻
Love the design on the seat
Beautiful work - a joy to watch.
