One of the things that I love about your work is that you take everything apart to rebuild/create a solid final piece. Quality work my friend! Thank you.

I truly enjoy watching you turn a damaged piece of junk into an amazing piece of furniture. Kudos!!!

You did a great job! I think Ahti would approve of your first try at upholstery.

"just so you don't go to sleep" you seriously undervalue how interesting and your work is, especially since that particular repair was so brilliant.

I love your attention to detail. You never gloss over even the smallest space just to hurry it along. You never call a project good enough until it’s actually good.

You are so brave!! I've been sewing for 57 years and still stay as far away from velvet as I can!! It's a real bugger!! Love that saved this hidden gem!!

I’m happy you restored the rocking chair, because I believe it has a long history of love.

I’ve been a seamstress for many years and I was very impressed with your skills. Most people can’t make a straight line. You obviously have been practicing. Great job

I’m a sewing teacher and my dad is an upholsterer, you did an excellent job! You’d definitely get an A+ in my class! That tacking strip is hard to do. I’ve seen my dad do it and he has a few tricks to get it just right. And sometimes he has had to redo it so don’t be too hard on yourself. If my dad watched this I think he would be impressed of what you accomplished as well.😊

All the terrible repairs tell me that this was a very loved rocking chair that was "repaired" by various family members over the years. Definitely a chair with a history.

[owenroberts]

For a bloke that had no clue on what you were doing you did a tremendous job mate. If that was me trying to fix it the chair probably ended up looking like a boat. 😊

A sad little chair brought back to life. I am impressed with your sewing skills

[justyb]

For someone who’s never used a sewing machine before, that looks amazing. That rocking chair is living its best life! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾✊🏾

[vickiebelk]

You did an awesome for your first upholstery job!! I’m glad you tried something new.

[honodle]

It's pleasing to me to have you admit you've never done this before, and then with no hesitation just jump right in and get it right. It's clear to me you love what you do. :)

I just want to say that when you do the "2000 years later", I still laugh every single time. LOL. I am so glad you didn't give up on this beautiful rocker. The more you took off finishes, the worse it looked! You are a brave man and so talented. Even if this was the first time you ever tried upholstery, it didn't show that in the final outcome.

Trust is when you like the video even without watching.

Oh threw everything but the cat at the chair. Having sewn since I was 9 and having more sewing machines than I will did a fabulous job for a rank newbie! I taught both my sons how to sew, because everyone should have a clue. That style is called Danish Modern. My mother had coffee and end tables with the same lines and wood.

[cherylhuffman]

Always impressed that you try things you have never done before. Velvet and piping are not beginner choices so kudos! Please, please, please use a respirator when using the spray adhesive. Two folks I know from the upholstery industry died of brain cancer from using it unprotected for decades. 😊

Oooh, my mother, sister and I reupholster old chairs as a hobby, and you're doing great! I really admire how you pick up new little skills and things and keep striving for beauty in your projects. I love how much you see the potential in the kind of furniture that most would throw away!
