If you have ever watched Bob Ross you know that he never makes a mistake, just happy accidents. I never understood that until he explained that it means that no matter what happens, you have the ability to make it work. You had several happy accidents with this one, and you had the opportunity to stretch your brain to fix them and in the end it DID come out great! Well done sir!
Bad things happened, but it proves that you are human, like the rest of us! :) Most of us Americans would have declared that chair firewood to begin with; we are a wasteful lot. Sad that. Your patience and skills rewarded us all with a thing of beauty. Thanks again brother for sharing your videos with us. Peace and God's blessings be upon you. Reverend D.
I am still relatively new to your channels but the one thing that keeps me coming back is your honesty and sense of humor. I appreciate people who admit that they while they are professionals, mistakes can be made and not everything goes to plan. I’ve learned so much from you. Thank you!
I love chairs. Always surprisingly complex in their geometry and construction - we expect so much of them in terms of strength , beauty and comfort. In reality most are not financially worth repairing or restoring, but who can throw away the love and skill that went into them? You're honest, skilled and a privelege to watch working through the problems. Machines are great for mass production, but the best bits of this video (the successes) are almost exclusively when you picked up a chisel or other hand tool to do something that no machine could do. Machines and power tools are SO tempting, but hand tools are often the best to solve one-off complex problems. And way more satisfying! Keep up the good work - lovin' it, thanks. PLease keep sharing.
I appreciate your honesty and commitment to this repair. Placing a video like this in public might have been tough but the learning we can all do from it is why this platform is here. 👏
Your channel is one of my absolute favorites. Thanks for showing that even a pro can have bad days - makes a hack like me feel better. Always inspired by watching you, thank you.
Believe it or not as a beginner it’s nice to see mistakes made. It reinforces that it’s part of the process, and I can be a little less hard on myself for making them.
I love the fact that you use shellac instead of varnishes for you finish. I love the beautiful look that it gives and the ease with which it can be applied. Wonderful work. Especially when you make mistakes and are willing to admit it and then fix them. Kudos!!
This chair did come out nice. It's so cool to watch you invent ways to repair defects in a piece that you are repairing as well as cover mistakes that you might make while you are working on a piece. Thanks for sharing this video with us.
I hate to say that it makes me feel better when I see someone with his skills mess up. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve believed that Im the only one who does this stuff. Thank you so much for posting this video.
What a fantastic repair. I really appreciate the fact that you have shown your mistakes and how you corrected them. Superb video. Please keep up the great work.
I am always amazed at how well the new stain matches the old stain. Even if you are able to use exactly the same stain as original, the wood itself likely has different colors or has aged.
Excellent and beautiful work as usual. The mistakes just prove your human, and we all have days like that. Had more than my share lately. It’s how we deal with them that show our strength of character. ✊👍
Great job! The countless number of times I had to do similar repairs🙄!! Weakest spot on a chair is always where the seat meets the back legs. Owners then try and glue everything back together again, just making a bigger mess of it. With stained wood one can still hide the patched inlays, but unstained wood with clear varnish is a bugger
C’est toujours un plaisir, de voir du bon travail ! Moi qui n’y connaît rien, Je découvre petit à petit, les astuces « d’un pro » l’utilisation des machines, tout ça c’est magnifique merci.
7:30 everyone make mistakes. As an electrician sometime I connect a wire correct but for some reason it is not the right moment to do it I then have to disconnect. This happens when I am in a hurry or disturbed in my work.
Иногда смотрю других рестовраторов,бывают удивительно красивые вещи ,и ловлю себя на мысли "как жаль ,что они не попали в ваши руки " конечно у них тоже получается хорошо ,но ваши превосходно!
Все правильно! Не совершает ошибок тот, кто лежит на диване к верху пузом! Молодец, что показываешь свои ошибки, это правильно. Работа как всегда, супер! 👍👍👍
Thank you for sharing even the mistakes that can be made. I think that helps anyone who wants to repair a beloved chair by DIY (me). And I didn't realize that old oak is so tricky and I will take that to heart as well. But it's exciting that you have such a soft spot for chairs ... Thanks a lot for your excellent videos!!! (good light, so many details etc ... and you as well) 👍
It sure did turn out nice. To me it’s perfecto. It’s good to see a professional can make mistakes too cuz your only human. You do beautiful work. ♥️♥️😊
Up until around six minutes in, I was thinking this is going beautifully. What's Ahti on about. Then ..... a series of unfortunate events. No matter, the end result is beautiful job.
Beautiful job! I really admire your finishing work. The color is dead-on perfect. Cool how you sanded a little to add 'wear' at the end. On the$ question- As a customer, I'd probably expect to pay $200 to $250 for a result like that...but I'm just guesstimating. Thanks for another great video.
Count up the problems you encountered and remember, now that those are counted and done, the next several project pieces should be problem free. Statistics are terrible, but in this case your normal average will likely be maintained, so since you used up a few, the next projects should go much better. Good save on the hole that went through. I usually do not do much after I do something like that. You have the right amount of patience and the skills to make it work out anyway... Good job.
PARABÉNS pelo belíssimo trabalho…, eu particularmente adoro esses restauros, gostei muito dos postiços que usou como recurso, sua habilidade beira a perfeição ❤️❤️👍👍 Abraço aqui do Brasil 🇧🇷
There are ‘literal’ Mondays … for everyone. The difference is perhaps that the rest of us, when making an effort on tasks like this, have them much more often… thanks for sharing
It’s so nice you shared your experience. The chair turned out beautifully. Question… how would you repair a similar break (between the back stile/post and corresponding rear leg) if there was a barley twist detail involved? Would you recreate the entire piece as well? I imagine the barley twist detail is separate from the leg piece, but don’t know for sure. Thanks.
I have repaired this too at least 3 times. Because this barley twist is so thin, I usually make new section with a twist (new section between old wood). This work is pain in the butt, but there is no better solution.
Chairs having always been difficult for me. I don't know how you do it without numbering your edges I always have problems putting them back together they seem out of balance.
Your english is always so amazing - but FYI, it's "break" not "brake" "brake" is what slows down a car. Definitely upload more to this channel though! always like your content.
Tell me, how much would you charge for this work?
Where I live in Austria, 70€ per hour work excl. 15% Tax. ➕ materials. Minimum, artist like you tend to charge a bit more.

One million dollars !!! ;)
@@lukasvondaheim I was quoting the price for basic carpentry as I said artist like him (Mőbelrestauratoren) charge quite a bit more.
A master craftsman who is secure enough in his abilities to admit that even he makes mistakes and has ‘those’ days like the rest of us. So refreshing.
Oh well, everyone can make mistakes. He's man enough to admit it.

Thank you for showing your mistakes and how you fixed those. Gorgeous chair and beautiful result. Wonderful. I've been missing your lovely work.
Thank you. Even the best of us make mistakes, but most won't admit it. Beautiful Chair.
These videos are addictive😀. That chair has eyes. It has character. A little bit mysterious.
I'm glad you showed us your mistakes! I'm always doing this kind of thing.
I love the fact that you use shellac instead of varnishes for you finish. I love the beautiful look that it gives and the ease with which it can be applied. Wonderful work. Especially when you make mistakes and are willing to admit it and then fix them. Kudos!!
There are just some bad days. So enjoy watching your work...even with the little troubles.

You are a true ARTIST! And so dedicated to making it perfect. Awesome video and work! Thanks for no music
Hi Ahti
You just proved again that wood is infinitely repairable.
Very nicely done 😊
I'm glad you were showing that even professionals can make mistakes. very good job
Oh man! It was just one of those days! But persistence and know-how won. It turned out beautifully-looks like the day it was brand new! 👍🏻
I hate to say that it makes me feel better when I see someone with his skills mess up. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve believed that Im the only one who does this stuff. Thank you so much for posting this video.
What i say all the time is a true professional knows how to hide his mistakes .
The mark of a great craftsman is the ability to fix your own mistakes! Everyone makes them, not all can fix them.
What a fantastic repair. I really appreciate the fact that you have shown your mistakes and how you corrected them. Superb video. Please keep up the great work.
I have to admit an attitude of appreciation that you have shown that even professionals have things go crazy sometimes! Nice work getting it done!
Yes, despite all the errors it came out beautiful. Your problem solving skills were really tested that day but u persevered and it turned out great 👍🏾
Thanks for showing that even pros make mistakes.That takes humility, and knowing you have the skills to fix them. Well done!
It came out great! Glad to see even pros like you have those kinds of days!
You are a master at knowing what to repair and what to replace.I really do believe you need all those tools.
Amazed at the effort, and obvious skill, that went into restoring a quite ordinary oak chair. Well done.
I am always amazed at how well the new stain matches the old stain. Even if you are able to use exactly the same stain as original, the wood itself likely has different colors or has aged.
As usual, I find solutions in your videos to problems I come across. Thank you for sharing your experience and ingenuity.
I love this one. There’s more to learn by seeing how you handle the mistakes. Thank you!🎉
Been there. Done that. Your only human. Glad you showed the mistakes because, as they say, we all learn from it. Lovely job in the end.👍🏻🇦🇺😁

So true!
I hate to deal with failed owner repairs. It make the repair more difficult.
The kind of thing my son's have tried to glue, because " no one", that mysterious creature, has broken the chair!

Despite the problems, one of my favourite videos yet!
could feel your frustration as things seemed to conspired to go wrong. It turned out well though as you persevered and didn't throw it in the bin.
Amazing work. Despite so many problems you cannot tell where the new wood is, or the repairs made, excellent craftsman.
I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who has bad days. ☺️❤️
it came out nice, indeed.. lots of these old chairs have characters.. and worth restoring.. keep it up.
You make bad days look easy. Beautiful work
Oh well done. We all have our off days but you didn’t let it beat you. Chair looks great.
How wonderful to see that you are truly Superhuman, being able to show your mistakes and laugh at them
You are a Great Craftsman .Be Blessed

Would never laugh at you........laugh with you, yes. Been there, done that!!!

Thank you for showing how you fix your mistakes! I for one will benefit a lot from it! I make a lot of mitsakes, uh, mistakes.
With all the things going wrong, you did a very good job.
it is encouraging to see pros having an off day- ive def had a few! Project came out great after all.
It sure did turn out nice. To me it’s perfecto. It’s good to see a professional can make mistakes too cuz your only human. You do beautiful work. ♥️♥️😊
I feel your pain! I do this all the time. I think my best skill is fixing my mistakes. Grin.
A great woodworker is one who knows how to hide their mistakes. Great work Ahti! Scott
The biggest mistake is to never try- great job, thank you for sharing your hard work...
Up until around six minutes in, I was thinking this is going beautifully. What's Ahti on about. Then ..... a series of unfortunate events. No matter, the end result is beautiful job.
CUAL ES EL PROBLEMA TIENE TODA LA HERRAMIENTA NECESARIA????EXCELENTE TRABAJO!!!
Good to see you again!😃
I think EVERY craftsperson has a day (or several) like this. It's when you just have to lay the tools down and wait until tomorrow. LOL
After watching this episode, I don’t feel so bad about making the dado on the wrong side. Thanks for that!
you have such a good eye for matching color. i think that's very difficult
It is very commendable that you show the hickups in the project. I salut you.
I just played the "finish job" music in my head as I watched the final look of your repair
Your repairs are seamless! Beautiful work! :-)
The work is done with love and very high quality - Like!!!!

Lembra muito cadeiras da casa de minha avó. Linda restauração. Parabéns.
could you please let is know what kind of saw you use. Also what you need that particular job it will do for you?

You saved the day after all; well done!

Wonderful restoration.

nice job, sir. Very interesting that you show problems and mistakes
Lindo trabalho feito com amor! Nota 10!
7:07 Clever way of teaching 😏.
It is obvious that this "error" was calculated. although I also see it as firmness between unions.
Just one of those days, my dad a Swiss trained master watchmaker says: "experience is having made every mistake once!"
In nursing school the teachers said "experience is what you get when you don't get what you want!"
