You‘re absolutely right! As good a job he did by up-cycling that chair… he lost all the credit I give him for that by clickbaiting the thumbnail. I hate getting taken advantage off. Plus: I hate the pattern of the fabric he used😂

I worked for a Swiss office seating company for 25 years, bring back old memories. You did a great job on that chair really. One thing that I saw that amused me was when you were scraping off the bottom of the seat board. It sure looked to me that the T-nut that held the control were put in wrong from the factory, The T-nut with flanged part should have been on the seat pan where you put your foam. Rocking around on that could cause the nuts to pull right out, be careful who uses that chair. But still a great job.
Wow! Good Eye! During disassembly (around 0:44) it looks to me like they were manufactured correctly w/the arm t-nut flanges on the bottom of the pan and the seat t-nut flanges on the top side. It's hard to be certain, but by 3:44, they all (arm and base) appear to be flange side down. Maybe when he peeled the rotten plywood layer off the top, he thinned the sheet so much the t-nuts stuck out. Then, even with the t-nut bolted hard against the base support, the plywood would slide down the t-nut barrel and the seat pan would rock, so he switched the flange to the bottom side, not realizing how rapidly they would pull out without the plywood to work against? Who knows. As you say, an overall nice rebuild, but be careful sitting on it until those pedestal t-nuts are reversed (and maybe shimmed?), and I fear the white in that floral pattern is going to look dingy pretty fast, especially on the seat and arms.
At first I did think you were right, but at 02:42 it looks different, on top of that, if the nuts were wrong placed, the chair wouldn't have lasted this long
How thankful I am that you posted this video and that you positioned your camera to have clear shots of each step in the dismantling and reassembly. My sturdy office chair of 30 years is still in mint condition, including the upholstery. The only problem is that it wobbled too. Unfortunately when I dismantled my wheel base from the chair base, I didn't take pictures each step along the way so couldn't figure out how to reassemble the washers, ball bearings, and that indispensable 1/2" black ring. Thanks to your video, I can repair the wobbling AND reassemble the cylinder and wheel base!!! Thank you, thank you!
I’m glad I ran across this video. I’ve been wanting to get a new office chair, but watching this makes me feel confident that I can just redo my old chair.
thank you for doing what you do, awesome! Sincerely thank you. If more and more people gets inspired by you, the world would have less trash, because we have an industry for recycling, making the old and spoilt, beautiful and functional!!!!
You could have even stopped at the seat rebuild and turned it into a shop seat on wheels. Those come in very handy for scooting around while working at waste levels. Good job.
True story lol. I toyed with the idea of naming and starting a handy man service. S&L, and under,in small letters, single and looking. See I had it all figured out too, I could cater to the widowed/divorced uperclass...(I was just finishing a 3 yr log home bush build and was asked by my boss what I was going to do next)
Very nice work. Makes more sense just to go buy a new chair but you did good! One thing I did to my office chair was to replace the casters that came on it and replace them with razor scooter-type wheels.
I came because of the picture of wheels,, thinking it was about wheel replacement. That’s the reason most of our office chairs are broken. This picture has nothing to b do with the video.
Es un pésimo trabajo, que lo único que hace es desvalorizar el trabajo de los profesionales que llevamos años trabajando en esto. Distinto sería, que el trabajo estuviera hecho con execelente calidad, así se enseñaría a la gente a valorar la calidad, no la facilidad!!
You're very good at this. If you should do it again with cloth, put clear plastic over the top to protect from spills, etc. I'm sure you enjoy seeing the finished product and not having it go to the landfill or the recycle.
Take a look at UA-cam channel ‘Precious Plastic’ all about building a plastics factory using junk. You don’t need to buy anything if you haven’t got any money. All you really need is the KNOWLEDGE to build things out of discarded rubbish. The MORE ‘worthless’ the rubbish is to most people... the better. Just be VERY careful of toxic hazards. KNOW YOUR RUBBISH
Nice job and it's a cool diy project. But I own an upholstery shop and have to say you can buy these chairs for much less than labor and materials invested. I stopped working on office furniture like this many years ago because they could be replaced for less than I'd have to charge.
@@macewindu7568 but he has to spend 200 bucks for a compressor and staple gun, im sure making those products wrecked the planet a little bit. I have only used my compressor twice on five years
So, "How to re-upholster your old office chair on a budget" would have been the better title. Sure this one got clicks but most aren't coming back after realizing that was all clickbait. 👍
That is pretty neat. I have thrown away a few chairs... but only the seat part. I save and repurpose the wheel bases. :) Maybe will do this next time. Not as young as I would like to be but still young enough that I am sure I will have another chair or two needing to be replaced... will fix them up instead. - Heidi
All that time all that work and all that money I could have bought a new chair for fifty bucks. And the material and fabric you use for the chair that looks like something my grandmother used to have back in the 60s
That's really nice , and can save a lot of money by doing this .. If you can do a chair like that, you can do all types of household stuff. Thanks for sharing this with us.👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
The only dilemma I see is someone thinking this repair project involved buying anything. Presumably he already had the tools from previous projects, because they are all very basic. Staples: $2 Cloth: just get any old bit of clothing. Personally I’m always on the look out for old furniture using real leather. Even imitation leather has its uses.
People who build stuff already have all the tools. If you are not a builder, then yes, it will be more expensive. But if you already have the tools, it would only cost like ten bucks for the materials to do what he did.
His wife probably rolled her eyes back into her head after he gave the chair back fixed instead of purchasing a new one like she asked him to do!!!😂😁🤣 typical husband!

Yes it is
I used an old office chair for a Pex unwinder, put some angle brackets on it, added a wood base. The pex unraveled from the center. Worked great.
I throw away the seat -art, and keep an eye open for discarded wooden chairs.
A 100-year-old salvaged wooden chair on a modern base is just wonderful.
Very good ideas
