I watch a lot of restoration videos. But the pinnacle of restoration of anything wood made is this channel. For metal stuff it's "my mechanics". Both channels show a level of perfectionism and skill I have never seen before and should be the North Star for any restoration channel.

As a jeweler I can relate to the tedious precision required. It is in many ways harder to restore than create new. Your work truly is a labor of love because I'm not sure you can charge the amount of money that reflects your skill and artistry. But I LOVE watching you work!

I am sitting here watching you patiently work each section of this chair to perfection and all i can think about is how many. many years it took for you to hone your incredible restoration skills, including upholstery.. Your remarkable skills show us the kind of man you are; and patience leaps out watching each remarkable skill. You must have begun your journey when you were quite young.. Love watching a Master Craftsman tailoring his skills to each new totally different project.. It truly is a labor of love to do what you do.. Once again , BRAVO...

I am right there with you, Joe. This chair looks fantastic! Too bad that some of the wood had to be 'updated', but there was no alternative. My gracious, some of those boards looked like the home of a termite city due to all of the nail and tack holes. Of course, there were cracks all over this chair. This restoration is amazing and the completed piece is as near to original as possible. As to the choice of leather, I'm sure that the owner had logical reason for the choice and if not, the chair belong to the owner. He who pays the bill get to make the choices.

Это больше похоже на ремонт, чем на реставрацию. Во время разбора стула мастер сломал несколько деталей, он использует современный синтетический клей вместо натурального рыбьего, степлер вместо гвоздей, думаю, что и морилка отличается по составу от оригинальной, и у меня сомнения в отношении кожи, возможно, краситель кожи тоже не соответствует красителю того времени.

@@Hitrunya Perhaps you misunderstand the effort here. The chair was obviously not in a condition where it could be recreated or brought back to a "good as new" or original status. Damage and neglect had made It clearly beyond that. What could be done, and was done with available current-day materials and skills, was to bring the chair back to a condition where it would be useable as a chair, i.e., functional, and at the same time, have the appearance and beauty of what it once was. And beyond question that was accomplished! While renovation and restoration do not have identical meanings they are closely related.

Изначально над его красотой поработал художник-краснодеревщик, оставив после себя уникальную работу по дереву - точёные ножки, фигурную спинку с художественной резьбой и мАковками наверху. Что-то из деталей требовало замены, зачистки, шлифовки, полного обновления и замещения. И в ходе реставрации это было сделано нашим маэстро. Спасибо за возвращение шедевра к новой жизни.
