    Using mainly hand tools for the vast majority of processes resulted in a good outcome, all be it taking a long time. Join me as I restore and reupholster a furniture piece that I believe is of Jacobean style made in the late 1940's to 1950's.
    This video ended up taking a lot of time to complete and edit due to work and other things, so thanks for taking the time to watch!

    i spent the first 45 years of my life watching my grandmother do what you did to this chair. she would strip them down and redo the strapping with new strapping and replace the foam and make all new cushions for them. it is some serious hard work and very time consuming. she passed away almost 2 yrs ago a few months before her 101st birthday. watching you do this brought back many memories. i used to sit on the table and watch her in total fascination and in awe. i have never reupholstered like she did but have done my own cushions back in the day. i had a pair of chairs one was a rocker while the other was a chair. they had belonged to her and she passed them on to my mother to which i took them off her hands when i turned 19 and moved out on my own. they themselves had the strapping and springs and skirts like this piece. they were made in the mid to late forties. i got rid of them 10 years ago. had them about 40 years. loved them as they were extremely comfortable to sit on. hope you enjoy this one like i did my grandmothers. beautiful work. btw she had the singer wrought iron industrial sewing machines. 2 of them. large one to handle the heaving thick materials and a smaller one she used to put the side pieces together with zippers when needed. i subscribed to your channel

I like how you reasoned out each step and explained why you chose this action over that one, etc. Also,I see you used some hand tools like the drill and jack planes.i used to collect old woodworking tool and honestly sometimes they were preferable to the new ones, and they were a lot less noisy! It was a pleasure to watch you and the finished piece looked more than worth all you time and care. Thanks!❤❤❤

    Great job, I think the green colour suits the chair. I think I heard magpies, lorikeets, butcherbirds, and ravens. The machining marks on the underneath of the back rail were from a surfacer. Bandsaw marks are usually more irregular and cut the grain.

    The color and fabric are great. You did a great job with the restoration. One suggestion on the upholstery. Add more polyester batting(Dacron) to the foam cushion. You can wrap it and make it look a little more rounded. The trick to get it in the cover is plastic film. You can use black garbage bags and a vacuum to suck the air out. While compressed put in the cover. Then pull away the plastic. Some extra padding on the seat would also be a good idea. He uses a layer of the hair and then more burlap and a layer of Dacron. Adds to the comfort and the crown a bit. My dads been an upholsterer for over 55 years. I love to watch him work his magic. He uses staples and a staple gun now but it was fun when I was a kid to watch him hammer in the nails.

    • @RestorationEndeavours

    I noticed your hands look like they were getting tired with fighting the curved needlee and i thought i would offer a suggestion of mine that i use. As a nurse, i use instruments a lot, and for suturing there is a "needle driver" fot placing and stitching , as in the ER and surgery. I fought with those upholstery needles for years before it occurred to me that a pair of needle-nose pliers could work as a much larger version of a needle driver. It saved my hands from a lot of pain and struggles (though not all, sadly] and made a lot of things easier. I really enjoyed your video! ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊

      I will have to give that a try. I am eyeing off a few more chairs for projects already. Thanks for the tip!

    I like the fabric you chose. I would make the back cushions in a complimentary tapestry fabric, and small enough to show off the wood panels. Cheers

    Amazing! The time, effort and care you have put into this was well worth it! It's heartwarming to see this old furniture piece come back to life.🤗 Fabulous job!!! 👍👍👍
    I 💜 the Jacobean period furniture, it is so ornate. I have an old sofa from the era with wood carvings. So I followed up the theme in my living room, etc. by buying (very expensive) upholstery fabrics. I designed and sewed my own drapes, throw pillows, etc, etc. in that fabric. Also have old doilies in the rust, sage and yellow colors like in the jacobean fabric. I ❤ it!

      Love it. I think after I practice my sewing a bit more, I will venture into some fancier fabrics myself.

    Beautiful result! I love the color! Even though I agree with you on the beauty of the back wood panels, I think it would be more inviting to sit on if it had a back cushion

    I had a very similar full length couch, it was Garage sold in the 80's. Your beautiful restoration makes me wish I had it still. I have upholstered a fair amount... including 2 Niagra cyclo-massage recliners from the 60's.
    You have done a superior job, & I learned a lot!

    Well done. A dying art and skill here in US. at least in region where I live. Once knew a now-deceased couple who did this as a business together, but no one apprenticed under them. I still have some of their work from decades ago which is incredibly well done.
