    It's always surprising how much damage is just the finish.. and not the wood itself.

    I love your videos on so many levels. I like seeing "discarded" items being brought back to life. But I really love how you talk through the process you follow and how you're going to address each issue. I'm not a refinisher, but I never miss any of your videos!

    I love your channel! Every step is well explained and your videos are straight to the point. If I could give you some constructive advice, it only would be that it would be nice if you would include the products used in the description box. As a beginner, one is often overwhelmed with all the different products in stores. :/ Other than that I think you do a great job! :)

    Never knew why I didn't like those chairs until you said they were made with plywood. Maybe the color too. Or maybe that was the chair I sat in down the hall from my classroom cause I didn't do my homework.
    Turned out real nice.

    I have to admit that I prefer a patina and the aesthetic of abuse and wear. I found a coffee table which had been left in someone's backyard in the rain for years and the top was covered in rot. I fell in love with it instantly. I took it home and roughly abraded the rot away with some steel wool, gave it a rough sanding with 400 grit, and left the scratchy, half-destroyed original finish. Then I just sealed it in polyurethane. I love the look of it, but everyone else wrinkles their nose and asks me why I don't strip it and refinish it.
    If I wanted something that looks pristine, I'd just buy Ikea. I love the patina of honest decay, rust, and wear brought on through time and functional use.

    Hello, first of all, I love how you restore everything. I am a huge fan. I recently got a chance to buy a Cherner chair. However, it is missing some screws. Do you know how or where I can get old screws so that they are not standing out as if I were to bought normal screws in my hardware store? I hope you answer my question.
    Thank you.🙏🏻🙏🏻

    and an old
    Painter told me that i should just little sanding and just Spray paint.
    he said that is the faster way to cheap reapir chiar
    ""Cover the old paint directly with spray paint"" ←What do you think about?

    I am in the process of restoring a set of 10. Did you have any issues with the back pieces of laminated plywood needing to be reshaped? Several of mine are very stretched out, and when you lean back in the chair, you feel like you could break it and fall right on your head.
