I must say this was the most nicest, neatest & most carefully done Cesca chair restoration by far. The pursuit of perfection came at a price sadly. Hope those fingers are okay! Stay safe! Love to see more.
Thanks Aditya! I was lucky to get away with a few stitches. It was my first time using a chisel and I learned they are much sharper than I thought! Thanks for watching!
I watched this before doing a pair my self and think the note about you cutting yourself actually saved me from doing so. I was much more careful, so your pain that day meant that I did not have to go through it. In a way you’re like Jesus
No viewer of any of my videos should have to suffer. I’m am glad you were spared. Amen.
@@bountyarchive unfortunately I suffered greatly through my legal troubles lately. You’re videos have not stopped my suffering in life. I’m about to go full bud Dwyer on my freshly re done cesca chairs
I was not willing to this myself, my Knoll need the same update, exactly same chair iTalia Knoll
A real Cesca wouldnt have caps on the chrome, the ends would be solid. Thank you for your video, it helps a lot.
Good luck with your restoration!
Good to know. I always wondered how you could tell a real cesca from newer models or replicas.
Always wanted to see a video about this, thank you Bounty Archive for another great visual experience on my Monday morning!
Thanks Erik Reeves!
This was a great video and really helped me re-cane my chair. Using the 4 wedges is a must - I followed the advice of the company in the UK where I bought the cane , who said it wasn't necessary, and my cane ended up a little "squiffy". Personally I found trimming the cane with a craft knife easier and quicker than using a chisel though - it may be that my chisel skills are lacking! Thanks for taking the time to post it!
Thanks for watching Alan! As you can tell from my injury, my chiseling skills are a little shabby. I'll have to try a craft knife next time.
what site did you get them from in the UK?!
Excellent execution and superb video editing! Thanks for sharing your skills - i have 2 very similar chairs that need to be recaned so this video is invaluable.
Great feedback Adam! You’re going to give those chairs new life!
GREAT Video Thanks❤
I am now excited to do mine, thank you!
Right on! Good luck 👍🏼
I own the same chair, sold as real Knoll Cesca 1978 ish, the mother of that Star Wars guy who did make one of the best new Star Wars movies ever.
We have this chair for generation, i need to restore it too. great job you did, rust on it, never on my chair, was always inside, light finish, that i did, some gut need to do a new deck.
BTW, i do own a real Thonet Austrian model too now, the tubes are way way better, no plastic metal stoppers as on the Knoll, the glew wood things in the Knoll, lol.
Thank you !
Thank you so much!
Neat job!!
Excellent video
Thank you!
Very good!
Thank you very much!
I’m glad my video was useful! I hope you can sit in your chair soon!
Seriously the best how to video I've seen! Hope your fingers healed okay!
Thank you Brigitte!!!!
Thank you for this! Must have looked 10 sites and 4 other videos- yours is the one that makes sense. One question- would one seal or stain the cane as well? I know their appearance is usually left bare/ natural, but idk if there’s some kind of conditioner or sealant that would be beneficial, or some periodic upkeep …?
Hi Lexi, thanks for watching! I believe the best way to take care of the cane once it't in place is to use the chair plenty. There may be some conditioning products you can buy, but keeping the chair "broken-in" will help it from rotting and cracking.
Hi. I love this video. I’m repairing a Cesca for first time in my life atm haha and your video it’s my guide. I was just wondering what kind of brush did you use to clean the spline canal? I checked your blog but I don’t see it listed in the materials. Thank you so much !
Hi Pau,
There is a first time for everything! The brush that I used was a firm-bristle brush. I've seen them called "Utility Brush" or "Detail Brush". You should be able to find one at any hardware store. I would avoid anything with wire/metal bristles, as it will scratch the wood. Thank you for reading the blog and good luck with your restoration!
The big problem is often to remove wedge thread without damaging groove. Better work on a strong table or so.
Good point! I would pay more attention to this on my next repair.
When you attached the cane, you had the frames attached to the chair. Can I just recane the frame on a flat surface and then attach them to the chair?
Hi! Yes, you can certainly do this too.
How long did it take you to do all of this? I've got 8 to go through, haha.
Haha you might be in for it. Maybe you could go beastmode over a weekend and do them all assembly-line style.
Love your video! What color stain did you use here?
Thank you! Oof I wish I remember. I'm sure it was a lighter shade of Minwax, but I cant say for sure what color.
Do you have a link of where you git the supplies?
Hi! This article on my website has links to purchase many of the supplies: www.bountyarchive.com/archive/how-to-re-cane-a-chair
Tha k you so Much!!!⚘️✨️
Where to I purchase the cane...?
Hi! There is a link in the description to my website, where you will find a full list of materials and some purchase links. Broadly, I would recommend Etsy for purchasing the cane.
Finally!
