Restoration of the most famous chair

- I have restored dozens of Thonet chairs, but this time I wanted to do it differently....
LAZER : amzn.to/3k63wbD
Thonet chairs are most iconic chairs of all times. They started making them since 1850 and they are still made today. Their design is one of the best that has been ever invented. The chair is made out of beech that is steamed for 5 hours and then formed into metal molding. This method gives very durable structure. Rumor has it, that Thonet chair was allegedly thrown down from the Eiffel Tower to show how well made its structure is and it survived.

Hahahaha cool. The classic outro music is back. It just feels wrong without that cheesy riff
The man with a 1000 g-clamps! What craftsmanship, what integrity, what an eye for detail and also a sense of humour. I could never do any thing like this, I'm in awe of your work, bravo.
There's a saying among quilters that she who dies with the most fabric wins. I wonder if the same is true for woodworkers and clamps.
@@freethebirds3578 That would be too easy :)
I always notice the number of clamps being used! Glad I’m not the only one!

Before: "Hey that looks alright. What's the big deal?"
After: "WOW! What a difference. A TRUE restoration.
I love watching these videos and seeing a real top craftsman at work.
Imagine have these chairs in the dining room, and every one of them had a different one of those beautiful patterns they came in!
Gorgeous and such craftsmanship. I actually just bought this laser yesterday for my husband’s birthday. He does woodworking strictly as a hobby and I saw someone else I follow (who does woodworking/furniture restoration as hobby as well) use it, so I’m excited to give it to him. Just loving your channel, I’ve binge watched your videos this week and am in just awe at your work.

Спасибо огромное. Всегда с удовольствием наблюдаю за вашей работой. Как говорится, можно бесконечно смотреть на то, как горит огонь, течет вода и как работает Человек.
I’d never seen one of these with anything but the drilled hole pattern. This ended up very lovely
I've got one with a relief seat but it's very badly worn and barely recogniseable in some areas. The wood is stained a very dark red. My aunt wanted to get rid of the chair and gave it to me, telling me it was completely worthless. Considering she's a professional art restorer I tend to trust her.
The Thonet chair No. 14 was the first model built in the new bentwood technic (in 1850). The seat came with viennese braid. Later the seat also was built out of plywood, blank, drilled or with embossed ornament. I love the Thonet furniture. The classics as the modern ones.

Beautiful chair-I love the design on the seat. Tested sitting down….not a single creak. 👍🏻. Excellent job-as always.
Absolutely Fabulous restoration ! Came out looking like new, as strong as when it was made, and
with an improved design on the chair seat. This is where Craftsmanship meets Artistry !
Another nice restoration friend, looks good, now you can sit down and have yourself a cup of coffee, have a nice day !!!.
Ahhh yes, much better than before.
I love the design you chose for the chair seat and the lazer was fun to watch. I am curious how the patterns were originally done as I am sure they did not have lazers when the chairs were made. Thanks for showing the old catalogue of patterns that were available, I do like the one you used, great job as usual.
My guess is that they had a big iron plate with the pattern raised above the surface, and they basically used this as a big branding iron in a press to burn the pattern into the flat seat before forming it. I've seen that sort of thing done in a lot of old films where they were making furniture, boxes, or even fancy cakes where they wanted a label on it. I don't know for a fact it was done this way here, but it seems like a reasonable guess.
It looks like an original that is in impeccable shape.
Мастер реставрации по дереву 👍
It is good to see a Master at work.
Yeah, I like this a lot better than all the holes. Looks great!
Your videos are excellent and thank you for teaching me so much. I am self taught and learning. I recently restored 100 year old sash windows and thanks to your videos rebuilt sections, repaired sp.its, secured mortices. Thanks a million.
Windows are good way to start as a restorer.
OMG! Amazing timing! I have two of these I need to restore and I've never attempted it before.THANK YOU!
Very Beautiful!!!!💜💜💜💜💜
I love that press. Lol. It must be really old. Love the chair too.👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
Excellent. Now I know I love thonet chairs
I had to close my eyes for most of the laser engraving. Just to be safe 🤣 Amazing work once again dude 😎
Night and day transformation!! This chair is gorgeous!
Wow. Just, wow! I’m so very jealous of your delicious tools! Beautifully done.
Люблю смотреть ваши работы. Вы счастливый человек, вы любите свою работу❤
I admire your work, I watch movies with great curiosity and inspiration. Soon the old bedside tables and the dressing table were renovated with a wooden mirror from before the 1st World War
Gorgeous! Another job very well done sir.
Also, "crunchy woodwork ASMR"- LOL Love it! 😆
What does ASMR stand for?
From Wikipedia: Autonomous sensory meridian response, sometimes auto sensory meridian response, is a tingling sensation that usually begins on the scalp and moves down the back of the neck and upper spine. A pleasant form of paresthesia, it has been compared with auditory-tactile synesthesia and may overlap with frisson.
From Oxford Languages: noun
a feeling of well-being combined with a tingling sensation in the scalp and down the back of the neck, as experienced by some people in response to a specific gentle stimulus, often a particular sound.
"ASMR is triggered by things like whispering voices, paper tearing, and scalp massage"
Красавец венский стул. Старинная работа. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Beautiful job! Cheers from Minnesota, USA.
I love Art nouveau. Thanks Ahti for another beautiful restauration.
i have watched a few of your videos on fb video tab and you..... master mechanics and chester..... are ABSOLUTELY AWE STRUCK how you all..... manage to grab something thats broken useless and rejected...... into a brand new fresh life of being used and loved again...im going to get this wrong.... but one of you salvaged a lathe??????? UNREAL!!!!!!! thank you ALLL for every project you do on/ off camera!!!! as the saying goes your saving the planet 1 piece at a time ;];];];] im from northern maine U.S.A. ....thank you !!!!
У меня есть стул, абсолютно идентичный этому во всём, кроме того что у него нет ни каких отверстий в сиденье. Он стоит у меня на веранде и последние пятьдесят лет я сижу на нём, когда летом пью чай и смотрю на свой сад. А до этого на нём сидел мой дед.
Но он в совершенной исправности, только сильно потемнел за прошедшие годы.
Вот посмотрел и подумал - а может обновить? Или уж пусть внуки, если он будет им ещё нужен.
Отличная работа, как всегда. Посмотрел с удовольствием.
Another beautiful restoration.
Wow! Love the fancy printer machine thing 😃
Day and night difference,,,,,well done!
Nice restoration. Crunchy woodwork ASMR.
8:56 These oval head screws are quite hard to find! I needed one to complete a restoration of a pair of Thonet 233 style chairs. Could only find them in stainless steel so used it on the underside where it wouldn't easily be seen, and hand coloured the head with a marker pen to match the others. Your video has given me some useful tips - thanks!
8:45 Can't see whether you used glue - should the legs be glued into the seat base or press-fit? Thanks.
A true craftsman. Beautiful work. Thanks for letting us watch.
Like i told you before.. i always enjoy watching your videos and learn new tips (plug drillbit with 4 cuting edges) so i say again THANK YOU for sharing 👍
Beautiful restoration. Would love a chair like that, especially after you have restored it so amazingly well!
Beauty-full chairs. Great job.!
Greetings from México City 🇲🇽
Das mit der Zange um den Schraubenzieher zu drehen ist ein wirklich guter Tipp für mich 😊
Beautiful day. I admire your work. You have no idea how much I would like to meet you here in Slovakia. I have a chest of drawers over 100 years old from my dear old mother, it is damaged and I have no one to restore it.
Nice! Yet again I learned quite a few things, even about this chair I thought I knew well…
My great aunt used to have these chairs in her small kitchen
Brings back wonderful memories
Not sure if my aunt has them stored in her loft now x
Beautiful result. It looks so much better and the motive really inhances the beauty of the chair. Great workmanship.
Thanks for your video. I also enjoy restoring old furniture!
The laser is very cool, beautiful work!
The vice grip on the screwdriver trick you used is amazing, and I can’t believe I never thought of that! My day job is signage at a zoo, and we get a lot of stuck screws, and I’m totally using that! Beautiful work!!
Овальные головки саморезов, надо же) Спасибо за видео!
That is a beautiful finish.Birdy
Beautiful!!! Love watching the laser.
WONDERFUL, again!
Your finishing skills are amazing 👍
Beautiful work !
And now I want one like that !
😭
С такими приборами и золотыми руками классно получается переделки.
Вы волшебник, у вас во истину золотые ручки!
You are the best of the best. Sara
Since I first saw your videos it became the most interesting way to spend my leisure time. Not only watching . I started to restore old pieces of furniture of our family. God, its so interesting! Thank you - you have changed my life. I am an amature oil painter, people say not the bad one, but restoring old things seems more interesting for me.
A man with a new toy. Couldn’t be happier
Another wonderful restoration. Great job!!
Absolutely beautiful!!!
Excellent workmanship! 👍
That is just stunning! What a beautiful piece of art, and so beautifully restored. So glad I found your channel, you are a master craftsman.
Thank you!
Thanks for the history of the chair, I have never heard of them and appreciated the new knowledge! Great job! God bless you and yours.👏👏👏👏👏😊
This is awesome! I have two of these chairs. I found them at a beach in the sand as a place hold er for a car. Scooped them up. Love the idea.
Beautiful restoration! So glad i found your channel! 💙👍
Perfection achieved as usual. Congrats! 😊
Brilliant - thank you for sharing! ✌🏻🎨☕️
Amazing as always!
How beautiful became the chair with that ornament on the seat! You delight us with your videos! Congratulations, it is very pleasant to watch your work!⚘
Absolutely gorgeous xxxx

Beautiful as usual. I like that the videos you post are so varied with what you choose to restore. Thank you for sharing your talent!
Another amazing job.
So beautiful!!! Good work!
Just love that chair
So beautiful and smooth. Xx
Hello mister beautiful restoration good job well done my friend
It could be the diabetes, but I felt myself swooning a little bit when I watched you work. You are poetry in motion.
Superb craftsmanship. Thank you.
Very nice restoration and video 👍
Excellent work!
Absolutely beautiful
I love the design you gave it. The laser burners are terrific I been checking into them for doll house wood working. Thinking about giving one of my doll houses transoms above the doors, and the laser seems to be the best route to go. You do such great work on the pieces that I have seen. You have a wonderful day

Very nice restoration.
Sooooo much better! You set the standard for the furniture repair and restoration I watch on UA-cam. Beautiful new toy you’ve got for yourself, too. Look forward to your next job/miracle/masterpiece.
Awesome. Beautiful.
Amazing. Well done !
I've been watching your vids. They are excellent. Congrats. Can I ask two questions? What wood do you usually use to replace old parts. Is it birch? And how did they burn the thonet pattern originally in the past. Thank you. Keep doing the vids. 👍👍👍
Having a laser machine for a project like this is a definite plus, but then so is having all those other skills which you have. Beautiful outcome! 🙂👍
