I watch a lot of Thomas Johnson, he is an artist and a craftsman. I have come to see him as something of a benchmark. Well, Sir, you meet and often exceed that mark. This chair looks the way it should for its age. I imagine that it will sit with its other chairs of the set and none will take notice of a difference because there is not, except perhaps this chair will be a little sturdier. Well done!
I have to say that the videos you have made are the best I have ever found online! I have learned so many things in such a short time. Saw solutions to problems I have long put ever solving behind me. Thank you so much for providing this content. This is almost as good as being an actual apprentice in a shop. A treasure trove. I’m so excited!
between yourself and Thomas Johnson there isn’t much else one has to learn about woodwork, the use of tools and restoration. Thanks for another great video. 👍🏻😁🇦🇺
I’m binge watching your videos and I’ve never said this before; I would actually be interested in supporting your work on Patreon or something to say thank you for these videos. I’m a newer woodworker and felt as though I knew a decent amount, or at least enough to build things I feel will last. You’ve taught me how to be significantly better and some critical details to pay attention to for the future. Watching a fix for things I could possibly make in my future and it’s amazing to see how well built things last, and where the weakness exists, and the proper way to ensure it’s fixed and lasts. Thank you!!!
You are a real artist. I enjoyed watching you work. I can't afford shop tools but used to really like using military wood hobby shops before they were all closed, a result of the US downsizing of our military - there were not enough customers shopping in military exchanges to continue to support the Moral, Welfare, and Recreation finding which paid for the wood hobby shops.
Cannot get enough of your videos. I love watching them so much, I lose track of time and when I look at my watch, it’s 4 in the morning. Makes it hard to get up for work in the morning. Just tells your viewers how well done you’re videos are and how interesting the work that you do is. Congratulations to jobs well done. Can’t wait to watch next video.
I really appreciate your calm, methodical approach, your depth of expertise. and of course the outstanding quality of your work. I would never attempt repairs at your level of finesse, but your videos nevertheless teach me a great deal that can apply to my own projects, and have contributed to the satisfaction that I derive from them. So, thank you. (I also love your accent!)
I can't help wondering how the craftsmen who made these items so many years ago would feel to sit and watch someone from the future skillfully and lovingly repair and restore the items that they made all those years ago. I imagine they would be quite happy. I'm sure they would also be quite thrilled by the fact that hundreds of thousands of people from all around the world are watching in admiration. Thank you.
I also follow Thomas Johnson and I agree with the comment of James Deese. Also I do believe that this is the first time ever that I saw a stain repair that matched the original so perfectly. 👍👍And I believe this video ran a bit long. I think about 40 minutes to be about right. 🙂 Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.
Thank you Glen. That's a high complement! Also, thank you for your thoughts on the long format of this video... this was an experimental format for me so your feedback is important. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts! Scott
say there Scott is that your only job. didn't think that many people needed furniture repaired. good job you do .learned a lot from you .thank you for sharing
Well, that's only what you see in the camera frame. Here's a video I did on Workshop Organization that shows a wee bit more of the shop and some disorganization ua-cam.com/video/PLt2DCyKSPk/v-deo.html Cheers
Ha, Ha. I also watch Tom Johnson... He just fixed a chair, and sanded the leg level. He owned up to having a couple of goes to get it right. An extra brownie point to you for getting right first time 😁😁. Thanks Scott
Thanks Peter. Tom is a great craftsman. We use some different techniques as we have different backgrounds in the workshop, but we get great results. Thanks for sharing that. Scott
Oh, thank you Peter! I will have to spend some time adjusting those to see if I can get rid of the play. I appreciate you sharing that with this furniture repair community! Scott #Tips
@@FixingFurniture I have been dealing with the blade drift issue as many often do. The guides can contribute to the problem but I don't think they're the root cause. The guides, at best, play defense. When the guides come into play, you're already in blade drift. They tend to control the drift, hence the defensive role. I believe root cause is the blade position on the tire. If the blade is positioned in the center of the tire, the blade can tend to drift off the crown to the sloping side of the tire under load. Positioning the blade off center towards the operator side of the tire makes it difficult for the blade to drift as it would essentially need to travel "uphill" to the higher crown. The debate continues but properly udjusted guides and an offset blade orientation has worked for me.
I found you by complete serendipity. ... I don't even do this work, but I'm now a fascinated subscriber anyway. What an amazing teacher you are. Thank you for the adventure, I am looking forward to many more! Abigail in beautiful nearly-spring New Hampshire, USA
As someone that has an autoimmune disease from exposure to chemicals in surgery during the 1970’s when we didn’t know they were dangerous, I appreciate your proactive work in designing a solution to a problem that is causing problems for people that just don’t know it yet.
Thank you for sharing that. Sorry to hear about your health. Yes, I'm passionate about getting the word out about safety in the workshop and how to stay healthy. I've seen the impacts on people who have not done that. Scott
Thanks for all the great info! Learning heaps from this channel. I think from watching other channels, you know when you have enough subscribers when Festool starts sending you free stuff 😄
Thank you, Scott, for this great video! I have quite a bit of woodworking experience over many years, but not much antique repair. A friend asked if I could repair a small sewing table with several broken dowel joints. Now I’m more confident I can do the repair well!
Scott: this is a magnificent antique chair restoration. I’m so impressed. Every detail is done with perfection. And congratulations on your invention. That dust collector idea is quite a safer for health and cuts down on the mess. Great idea! Super great! Carol from California
I am in awe of your work. You make the tough jobs look extremely well. Well done on this one and all the ones I have seen so far. Good Job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Really excellent video, as always. I had a beautiful chair to restore and was trying to get a stretcher off, tried everything, wouldn't come off. Finally, going to cut off drill out and replace, found a nail, could not see the head or hole or repair but found the nail. I friend loaned me a hand held metal detector, and found three other nails, still couldn't see any marks. I now have a metal detector that I quickly use to scan almost every chair because it is more sensitive than my old eyes obviously. Can't wait for that table video, I have one to repair right along with you. Thanks for great tips, I still need to invest in needle glue setup, but never think about it until I could use it.
Thanks for sharing that tip about the metal detector with this furniture repair community. That's a great Idea. I will have to look into getting one for those stubborn parts! Thanks. Scott #Tips
I am attempting my first repair on 2 antique chairs. The video today was absolutely wonderful. I’ve repaired antique dressers and desks but never chairs. I prefer to maintain the original look and the video really provided me some excellent tips. I feel much more comfortable starting this project now. Even though the furniture is for our house I want the best repair job I can do. Thank you!!
Super stuff as usual. Looking forward to watching the lathe invention channel, too. I suffered with a drifty bandsaw as well, and found that going through the position of my guides really helped. There are competing schools of thought re: where blade should run in relation to crown of upper tire, so the struggle continues on that one. One piece of advice I feel authorized to give because of my day job: Don’t say 1800s when you mean 19th century.
Thanks for the bandsaw advice Len. I'll try readjusting the guides to see if that helps. Thanks also for the advice on describing time as a century. I appreciate it! Scott
Just wanted to say that you videos are a fantastic resource. Well done! I work in a paint and decorating store. You are giving me much needed tips that I can use for the many refinishing questions I get.
You are pretty good with the hand tools. If you want to see an old craftsman put us all to shame I would recommend Poul Sellers. The way he can make joints come together using and tool is just remarkable.
Absolutely amazing job! Your patience and analytical approach are such important factors for aspiring wood workers to see in action. Best of luck with your ingenious invention too!
Glad you enjoyed it Gary! The length of this video was an experiment to see how viewers react to it. I'm happy to hear you were able to watch it all. What are your thoughts on video length? Scott
Scott, I've just recently found your channel and I really enjoy watching you work. I do a bit of woodworking myself and you've taught me some procedures and tips that are very useful. Besides that, I just enjoy watching someone work that obviously has a passion for their work. Also, kudos to your style of presentation/instruction and a double kudos to whoever is filming and editing your segments. I come from a decades-long background in videography and editing and I really enjoy the way your videos are treated. Your audio is also top notch! Good quality audio can make or break a production; I'd venture to say audio is 80% of a production. People can/will forgive lower quality video but if the audio isn't clear most will just move on.
fantastic invention sir, I dont even wood work but I always enjoy watching your videos, great editing, great repair and I hope your invention helps a lot of other ppl, thank you for sharing =)
When drilling the leg holes for the new piece you made just clamp the old and new together and drill right through the old into the new. A perfect transfer 👌 As long as the holes are not at an angle it works perfectly
Interesting that your colour matching staining is the same as I did intuitively. I'm an artist so used to looking at colour. Our £2 dining room chair is looking great. One down, 7 more to go!
On your bandsaw you need to adjust or possibly upgrade your saw blade guides.correct alignment and type of material to use these is very important. Blade tension is important, as well as proper tire tracking. Blade tension is right it should sing. You have inspired me to do furniture restoration and repair.thank you Howard s Deares
Thank you for the bandsaw advice Howard. I appreciate you taking the time to share your recommendation for this problem. I will have to find some replacement blade guides as mine are pretty beat up. Thanks. Scott #tips
I have a lathe of the identical design and find the motor placement terrible for dust exposure and was having issues with the centrifical switch inside the motor. Your solution seems perfect for this issue.
🤠 I really enjoyed this video, I am not a professional but have worked with refurbishing furniture for several decades and like the way you present your videos. I always wondered if my work and the way I go about working on them and finishing them match to a professional job and get a kick on how close I am to getting it right. Thanks again.
One thing I have discovered on band saw blades is if the set is deeper on one side than the other it will cause the blade to track to the heavy set side. I have in the past taken a very fine stone and with the saw running just lightly touch that side and test cut to see if you are getting the desired result. It’s happened about half dozen times in 20 years, it got me out of a tight spot more than once. Thanks for the video, I enjoyed and learned a lot.
Man I just found your channel last week and I'm absolutely hooked. I do more of the building side of things but I'm learning a lot about repairs from your videos. I'm not sure if I have the patience for it though lol
Beautiful work. Beautiful and faithful restoration to a gorgeous chair. I love your videos, have learned a great deal and will certainly recommend your channel to others.
I really enjoyed this. It looked impossible to me: from the carpentry involved to the finishing it looked impossible but I shouldn't have underestimated your skills! Superb. I particularly enjoyed the spokeshaving. Thoroughly enjoyable and inspiring too.
Don't worry about the 100k subscribers, you well have sooner as you might think, if you continue this way. And btw, you are getting better from video to video - meanwhile I enjoy every new one.
Thankyou for not playing music in your videos. This allows us to concentrate on what you are saying and doing. Please don't change a thing in your videos.
First time seeing one of your videos. Subscribed immediately. Very informative: not just what you do but why. Great job with this piece. I could not see the difference between the old and the new. The color match was wonderful too.
I have watched your vids for quite some time, mainly because you are easy to follow. It did puzzle me as to why you do not have 500,000 followers and the easiness which you show in the repairs may be the culprit. Somewhere 🤣around 60-70 years working wood and I still learn watching you. Make it look more difficult!
Lol, that's funny. Maybe I should wreck a few parts along the way in a video (just kidding). Thanks for subscribing and please share our channel as I don't know another way to get more viewers. Thanks! Scott
I love your work…that is to say your dedication to brilliantly replicating the original beauty of a piece while preserving its history of love and use.

First time seeing one of your videos. Subscribed immediately. Very informative: not just what you do but why. Great job with this piece. I could not see the difference between the old and the new. The color match was wonderful too.
Awesome, thank you! Scott
Brilliant craftsmanship. I’m a new subscriber and enjoy your channel very much!
I have watched your vids for quite some time, mainly because you are easy to follow. It did puzzle me as to why you do not have 500,000 followers and the easiness which you show in the repairs may be the culprit. Somewhere 🤣around 60-70 years working wood and I still learn watching you. Make it look more difficult!
Lol, that's funny. Maybe I should wreck a few parts along the way in a video (just kidding). Thanks for subscribing and please share our channel as I don't know another way to get more viewers. Thanks! Scott
I love your work…that is to say your dedication to brilliantly replicating the original beauty of a piece while preserving its history of love and use.
Turned out great. 😊
Thank you! Cheers! Scott
