Unusual THONET chair rebuild!
I have restored dozens of Thonet chairs, but this time I wanted to do it differently....
Thonet chairs are most iconic chairs of all times. They started making them since 1850 and they are still made today. Their design is one of the best that has been ever invented. The chair is made out of beech that is steamed for 5 hours and then formed into metal molding. This method gives very durable structure. Rumor has it, that Thonet chair was allegedly thrown down from the Eiffel Tower to show how well made its structure is and it survived.

Very BROKEN cabinet rebuild!
When I got this cabinet, almost everything wanted to fall apart. In this video you will see, how I fix this Art Noveau cabinet.
This piece was made around 1910-1930 period, in Estonia. It doesn´t have fancy details. Only the glass section hints, that this was made in Art Noveau period. Originally they had only clear coat, but my client wanted darker version, so I had to stain it. Some versions of this cabinet had Art Noveau style carvings on the doors.

AMAZING Vanity Dresser Restoration!
In this video I´m restoring a vanity dresser and making a new knob for it!
This style was very popular in Estonia between 1930-1950. In the beginning the furniture corners were very round and towards the 1950-s the corners became more square. So this piece is probably in the center of that era.
They are very common in Estonia even now. People often throw away the mirror and use it as TV cabinet. The knobs are originally made of bakelite or polyoxybenzylmethylenglycolanhydride :) This was something like early plastic.

BEAUTIFUL restoration of an UGLY nightstand
This nightstand is part of the bedroom set that I restored. It was made between 1930-1940, inspired by Art Noveau and National Romantism.
It was really satisfying for me to restore this piece and after that it rather looks cool and not ugly at all.

The 70´s SOVIET CHAIR restoration
This chair was produced in Soviet Estonia around 1970´s by Koperaator and sold all over the USSR. This was golden time for Soviet Union, when people dreamed about reaching the communism paradise and this mentality also reflects in the items from that period, which had more courageous design than in previous decades.
In this video I will restore this soviet chair and I will also show how to conserve the chairs fabric.

I DRILLED 600 holes to FIX that chair!
This chair is made by Luterma, in the early 1900-s. It was mass produced and popular model. Now most of them have problems with plywood seat, but there are not many who can fix them. In this video, I will do that.
I found that patent for similar chair was taken is USA as early as 1870, so this technology is pretty old. The chair itself is well made and is fairly comfortable to use.

Bottomless chair restoration
This video is about the Luterma chair and how to do the best plywood bottom for it. Some time ago I did a video ( https://youtu.be/GyQNlggz2AY ) about copy of Luterma chair. Now, this is the original one. This chair was mass produced somewhere between 1900-1940 but they are still valued here, in Estonia.

The builders BROKE the chair! / 1930-s chair repair
Some years ago I restored this chair, but the client brought it back to me for repair, because his home builders accidentally broke the legs. This chair type was very common here in Estonia through 1920-1930. Its made of oak and the backrest is made of plywood and walnut veneer. Usually there is set of 6 chairs and a extendable table. After 1940 they started to use cheaper materials and also the design was simplyfied.

Watch how pro restorer does his job / 50-s chair restoration
This chair was made in occupied Soviet Estonia, in 50-s by freshly nationalized manufactory called Tallinna Vineeri ja Mööblikombinaat (former Luterma). This design was invented already in 1930-s, but because its good and sturdy design, the production lasted about 30 years. Its probably most produced chair model (with variations) in Estonia. In this video, I will show how pro restorer does hes job, on this violated chair.

The antique seller destroyed my chair! 😰
I saw a set of 6 beautiful chairs that were in sale, but just before I was about to buy them, the seller destroyed my chair by dropping a large cabinet on it. In this video I´m trying to restore it to the former glory. This chair is made by a Russian company called Meltzer, which made a lot of furniture for Russian tsars.

How to restore an old chair with cheap tools (for beginner)
In this video I will be showing how to restore an old chair with cheap tools. I made this video as sequence for my most popular video which I made a year ago and which got over million views. It was about simple farm table restoration, where I also showed different machines and how to use them for newbies. I got a lot of criticism, because I used a lot of expensive gear. So this time I decided to go different way and work with cheap tools and show how to work with them.
