  • In this video I will restore Art Noveau chair from the beginning of the 20´th century. It was brought to by by the client, who got it with the house that he bought. It has rather unusual design, because of the black color and high backrest. I really enjoyed this restoration process.
    My favorite tools:
    Kärcher steam cleaner: amzn.to/3jltvLf
    Bessey edge clamps: amzn.to/3A6i7K3
    Dovetail jig: amzn.to/2VeM7Vw
    Workshop vacuum: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01...
    Random orbital sander: amzn.to/3A925PK
    Oscillating Spindle Sander amzn.to/3lq9t4X
    Camera: amzn.to/3e5CG0V
    Led goggles: amzn.to/3we7mq1

    I'm 72 years old and I can totally agree that the sheet metal seat was quite the surprise. I've been refinishing furniture since I was 20 and I've never seen anything like it. Awesome work as usual. Where were you when I was refinishing and repairing the 1920's waterfall dressing table? I could have used some advice😁
