How much $$$ would you have asked for this job?
-
Whoever did the job on this chair deserves at least some credit. Even if not great, but they done it with what they knew and had back then
-
Tucking a piece of the original fabric inside for a future restorer to discover was thoughtful.
-
I watch a lot of different people on YouTube restore furniture, but nobody comes close to your skill and craftsmanship. It's a joy to watch.
-
There is nothing more satisfying than watching a master craftsman at work.
-
Absolutely magnificent! The more I look at modern furniture the more I admire old chairs, cabinets, tables... Thank you, dear Ahti, for sharing your art wth us!
-
Beautiful,as always!! My favorite part is the swatch of original fabric tucked in like hidden treasure!!😍❤️
-
I grew up watching my grandfather make furniture and carve beautiful details within. My Norwegian grandmother made traditional outfits for my dolls and even as a child I used to stare at the perfection of her work...This is why I love to wait in excitement to see what sublime restoration you will do next. Your work is amazing. Thank you for keeping the art alive! :face-red-heart-shape:

"Shellac, my love!" 😄 Your work inspires me every time. I'm grateful that you decided to have a YouTube channel to show us how you do it.
-
No, it’s our honor to see a master restore this magnificent piece!
-
That looks amazing!! I love it that the last person tried as best they could to do it right. They just didn’t have the skill or the materials that you have. That small piece of fabric you left inside will be a treasure to someone one day. Bravo!!❤️🐝🤗
-
I cannot imagine the comfort in sitting in this chair. I will say that today's furniture doesn't even come close to the remake of this chair. Amazing quality put in to this work.
-
The wood repair and restoration is my favorite part. Okay, I really like upholstery part, too.
-
Aww, it's like an old car that someone loved and cared for to the best of their abilities, even though it was the string from bales of straw and whatever else they could find. ❤
-
Wow....that was an amazing display of skill. Doing upholstery at that level is similar to an elite athlete or professional musician. Yes, anyone can do the basics, but to set up all the little details to make the upholstery come out so well takes a huge amount of experience and practice. Honestly reminded me of watching a concert pianist or elite athlete. Very, very cool. Thank you so much for posting!

If I was a teen I’d approach you to be an apprentice - this sort of skill should never be forgotten
-
I really enjoyed seeing you dismantle that elegant old chair, repair its loose joints and replace the missing small wooden parts; then correctly re-springing and re-upholstering it. It made me appreciate your skills in this project. Many congratulations.
-
Watching you bringing these old pieces of furniture back to what they once were meant to be is so wonderful. Nothing is truly broken. Your artistic skills and lovingly careful restorations give me both joy and hope. You are in a sense a saviour, Sir. All the best to you!
-
Master! You are one of those people who make the world a better place! ❤ You build, you restore, you preserve! You will have a special place in Paradise and Peoples' Hearts! Thank you!

it was an honour watching a master at work, truly beautiful.
