    This chair is from the beginning of the 20´th century, probably made by Luterma factory in Estonia. In this video I will show how to use modern tech to replicate a complicated detail.

    Чем ценна работа реставратора? Тем, что он старинную, ветхую вещь восстанавливает, придавая ей прежний, обновлённый вид, максимально оставляя все детали работы предыдущего мастера. И именно это прекрасно! Спасибо, маэстро, за ваше высокое мастерство и нелёгкий, но творческий труд! Новых успехов и новых подписчиков!👍👍👍💥💥💥💯💯💯💖💖💖

    • @TerryProthero
      @TerryProthero Рік тому

      I'm betting the laser is not very hard to use. The software does most of the work for you. Using a lathe requires a lot more skill. I'm sure I could figure out the laser without a problem. But I would have zero chance of doing most of the other things he does.

    When you called this chair mass produced, I had to stop and think. Today a mass-produced chair will probably be molded plastic with metal legs attached by a machine. The factor where this chair was made must have had an army of skilled craftsman producing perhaps with a machine each of these parts and then assembling them and finishing it. It is good that you keep these things alive for it speaks well of the original craftsman’s memory.

    Не стул, а трон настоящий. И какой же красивый! Несомненно, вы своими руками только улучшили его внешний вид. Новый он выглядел хуже. Время положительно сказалось на волокнах древесины. Дерево стало сухим и выдержанным. Всё напряжения ушли. А вы отреставрировали его (стул), устранив следы тяжкой жизни. Мне кажется, у вас не только руки из нужного места растут, но ещё и великолепное образование😁😁😁. Удачи вам в труде и жизни!
