  • After my appearance in state TV, four clients brought me their armchairs (I mentioned that like to restore chairs) to restore, this is one of them. Usually the stuff I do, needs many repairs but this one had mostly the backrest problem.

    Makita plunge saw and guide rail: amzn.to/3fmTaoI
    Makita router: amzn.to/3BMRDzQ
    Makita router guide adapter: amzn.to/3SeGONS

    I laughed so hard after you sat down. The close-up of you w/the sound was Oscar©️ worthy! 🤣
    Beautiful job on the restoration, as always. Really love the fabric, and the shellac finish. Cool how the seam is hidden by the chair's design. Also like how it keeps the profile of the back more streamline; not puffy. Chair looked really drab before. It's gorgeous now, very curvy & sexy. ❤
    Thanks for another excellent video, Ahti!

    The way the wood moves after the layers of stain and shellac are applied is very beautiful. The wood grain really shows well. Beautiful restoration 😊

    It's barely safe for me to use a regular stapler to staple papers together. I would probably be a threat to myself and others with most of the tools you use. Fortunately, because of my severe nearsightedness, the lenses on my glasses are extremely thick. They could probably stop anything short of bullet.

    Would you consider doing some videos teaching finishing techniques? Do's and don'ts. Explaining shellac and how to use and apply it etc. I would be interested learning from a master 😉👍

  • @woodksu
    @woodksu Před rokem +2

    I restored a pair of chairs which looks like yours! But it had an other form.
    Oak, dark finish, brown faux leather with green other side (the same actually), seaweeds. Chairs had even the pencil-writing on the plywood.

  • @kimberlycastleman7058

    I would have thrown that chair away. I thought it was ugly. Then you restored it. Now I see how beautiful the curves are and what nice style it has. Really lovely, now.

    Love the non-slip clamping wedges...on my todo list! Thanks for the spirits/scrub trick for lightening the stain. Loved the humor and fun videography style on this one. And Yes nothing much better than multiple coats of shellac (bug poop) to make the curves and grain pop to eye candy! Glad you got some business from your appearance and hope it grows. Thanks much for what you bring back to the community!!

    Yes, those chair curves are quite sexy! That's what draws me to a piece when I'm looking to restore as well. But... if I'm going to need THAT many clamps for an easy curved back, I better get my Christmas letter to Santa ASAP. LOL
