- In this video I will discuss a very crooked chair with two other restorers Ahti and Pille. This chair is made around 1910-1920 and it has a very peculiar design.

Title: Three restorers discuss a VERY CROOKED CHAIR
#howto #howtorestore - Навчання та стиль
I hope this is only part one of this collaboration. I could have watched this interaction for a couple of more hours. So fascinating! Thank you for this gift. ♥️
We are restoring it together and so far it has been a disaster, hehe. Every joint of this chair was crooked. It is quite a challenge.
@@atrestorationplus I agree with the one who said it needs to be taken apart, though I'm not totally sure that would help either. It's like it's from a crazy Disney movie and got frozen in mid-stride. The areas that were brighter were strange. The second was sort of circular and extended into the vertical slats of the part above. Almost like it was cleaned in areas with the wrong thing.
So nice to watch professionals working together. I hope there will be more of this
Welcoming in another opinion or two, in this case, is the sign of a true professional. Instead of one-way thinking, differing opinions offer options perhaps not before realized. Thank you as always Ahti for the great video. This was very entertaining. Looking forward to the restoration of that poor old chair. Be well brother. Rev. D.
Oh, how nice would be: You three get (nearly) identical old chairs from one batach and restore it - and after restoring review and admire each restorations.
Thanks! Really like this one. The collab work was interesting at so many levels.
You are being nice....
I loved the discussion the three of you had. Always interesting to watch professionals work out a problem together. Looking forward to the restoration video!
Very cool, interesting to hear the three different perspectives on the chair, learn something new every day. Also nice to see the a different way to restore the stain color, thanks!
I think the seat originally had a Viennese weave of which only the outer holes are visible from above. Someone removed the mesh, fitted the sheet of plywood into the existing groove, and then veneered the frame to cover the remaining visible holes. The veneer is not lined over the holes - maybe the available plywood board was from another chair and not big enough?
I agree, the carving is nice Art Nouveau, the backrest matches, only the legs don't, you're right, it looks more like Biedermeier. However, this was more common when village carpenters are at work who had only limited knowledge of evolving styles. I still think the chair is beautiful and worth restoring!
Thanks for the nice riddle!
With best regards to everyone from Germany.
My thought was similar to this. Whoever put it together did so using parts from different chairs, or even the seat frame from a rattan or cane chair that the original crafter had not used for some reason. Maybe they helped someone clean out their shop and didn't know what went together, they just knew they had almost enough parts for a whole chair. 🤷 Either way, I like the carving and I think it's attractive... or it will be, once you get it standing up straight and in one piece again. 💜
It does look like a “Frankenstein” chair. Seat does not seem original, the art nouveau seems foreign to all the rest of it, and the legs have come from somewhere else, at least one or two of them! 🇨🇦💕
Oh thank you for that final note, I wasn't sure if you were just practicing and we'd never get to see what happened to this twisty little oddity! Toward the end I was shaking my head, laughing. The other restorer kept pushing you to test this and that on the finish, but in my mind it still was not certain that the chair could be returned to a stable, straight position. I was picturing this twisted, broken chair, with the wood beautifully cleaned up and its finish restored, in pieces that refused to go back together. 🤣 This was very entertaining. I'm looking forward to seeing the true process!
Great video! I love the bouncing back and forth of ideas. Hope the chair gets restored.
awesome! I'm always pleased seeing professionals at work but three professionals simultaneously is overkill 🙂 thank you!
I wish I had seen this before I watched the video but it gave me more understanding at what you both had to do. It was very interesting listening to the conversation that everyone had. I still say that chair was a piece of art. ♥️😊👍👍🌟
I don’t know a thing about woodworking but this conversation was fascinating!
What a great colaboration! ❤
I am looking forward to the end result. And the process, of course.
Absolutely amazing how much they observed and would do to correct
Fascinating discussion on a very strange chair, cannot wait to see the restoration.❤
This was so interesting to watch.
Thank you for your discussion with your two colleagues: that was most interesting.
What a beautiful language!
Looks like a mish mash of different chairs made into one chair.
Thanks Ahti. This was neat and I can't wait for the full restoration.
This was so cool to watch the train of thought, I hope you make more videos like this
Great conversation.
Love this joint effort regarding a restoration. How to approach it, problems encountered, the likely reasons for them to have happened and what is the best solution. It was an interesting class for me.
Thanks for the upload, Ahti.
Tons of knowledge in 16 minutes... AMAZING!
very interesting
thanks for sharing these helpful techniques
This was very interesting.
Both the discussion about the possible maker,stale and design details but also pro finnishing tips and trix.
Great thanks
Thats something new! We'll waiting!
Looks like woodwork project from school...
Interesting, and completely different to the way you do things. I'm anxious to view the entire process on your other channel... I'm on my way there now. Cheers from Canada 👋😊
Great restoration. 😄😄
Maybe the builder salvaged parts of the seat from a fallen-apart rattan chair. All in all, I think he did a good job of crafting a pretty chair.
I'm going to have to try that ammonia/shellac trick!
Wow the woods are very dry and stressed. The wood absorbed the stain like a sponge. Have it nice sheen
Wow, what a mess. Poor chair. I'm glad it gets some love and attention.
Yes I didn't understand where I can watch the actual restauration of this chair. I am looking forward to seeing it. Thank you.
It will be on my main channel: www.youtube.com/@ATRestoration
My first thought was that it was two chairs cobbled together...the stylish back does not seem to suit the rest which appears rather utilitarian, if not naïve, frame work, and seat which was maybe utilized from yet another chair that presumably had rattan webbing.
Maybe a reason that the fit was not perfect resulted in the crabbed appearance of the stability.
But of course I might well be totally wrong and probably par for an uneducated amateur.
Certainly a rather unique piece...enjoyed the video...hope to see it restored.
Ahti, It is always interesting to see a collaboration but my experience has always reminded me of the two clock scenario. 1 clock you know what time it is, 2 clocks you can never be sure! Still a very learning experience.
Every clock is correct once in a day though ;)
Very interesting video, Ahti! Enjoyed seeing your colleagues. Would be great to see the chair restored. (Oh, I just saw your blurb that the video is coming to your main channel. Awesome!) It does look "fat" with the seat on. Hoping you're able to improve on the proportions in a sympathetic approach. The original finish color is beautiful. Thanks for the video!
Very interesting.
I found myself giggling every time the chair rocked back and forth. What could possibly be wrong??
It came out later that all the joints were bent crooked under pressure.
Who will restore? You or your friends or together?
This guy works very differently from how you do. That was interesting to watch. I wonder how the full restoration will go...
Yes, he does. I hopefully will learn some of his techniques.
Very interesting and amusing, like 3 chefs guessing how a cake was made. I'd have taken measurements, then taken the whole thing apart, checked jointing details, cleaned it throughly as you have in the past, then re-assembled it dry to look at it again to try to guess what it should look like, then proceed on the basis of your skill and historical knowledge of furniture, rather than have a committee inventing the camel.
That guy looks kinda like you.
His name is also Ahti :)
How many Estonian furniture restorers does it take to restore a chair? Three.
Can you give links to Ahti and Pille's channels?
They are not UA-camrs just restorers.
@@atrestorationplus Ahh, thanks! Still cool to watch!
Did DR.Frankenstein make that chair?lol
👏👏👏👏
Lástima que no subtitulen en ESPAÑOL
maybe the chairmaker went around and collected tossed off pieces from the professional and put together this chair.
👏👏👏👍👍👍😉
Maybe it came from a circus and the clowns are looking for it?

I listened into the Eesti language which rings quite different to my ears than Finnish although sibblings....it is said🤔
Firewood.
Spoilsport!
What language is that?
Estonian
Худшее что можно придумать, присутствие клиента в рабочем процессе. Маэстро, сочувствую.....
Very strange language, to my ears. A mix of German, Finnish and Russian, phonetically, I'd say.
