    What a professional job, what a beautiful result (it must have cost a lot more than £12?) [just a bad joke]

  7. @christopherlinger1554 on September 3, 2025 at 9:13 pm

    You do amazing work. I just discovered your channel about a month ago and I have been watching ever since. I can’t wait to see what you have for us next.

    Your videos are GREAT! YOU ARE VERY FUNNY TOO 😊

  11. @ИринаКрасильникова-п4з on September 3, 2025 at 9:16 pm

    🤩🎉🎉🎉👍👏👏👏😊

  12. @eisvogelblume on September 3, 2025 at 9:17 pm

    Perfekt und perfekt schön. Hell/ dunkel ist genau auch mein Geschmack, auch der klassische Stoff. Meine Schwäche sind immer die Ecken des Stoffes korrekt und nicht zu wulstig zu machen. Schönes Video 😊👍

  13. @Rosty-ke6pd on September 3, 2025 at 9:17 pm

    Maybee a perfekt stool for piano players…

  14. @pamelaremel7477 on September 3, 2025 at 9:17 pm

    Even better 2nd time around!

  15. @MrGaborseres on September 3, 2025 at 9:20 pm

    👍

  16. @macmccreadie8541 on September 3, 2025 at 9:22 pm

    Was it worth restoring such an ugly stool ?

  17. @crabtonia on September 3, 2025 at 9:26 pm

    Nicely achieved…agan…a shame though that the Client did not want to ‘invest’ in Rattan…it would have been even better…thank you…dgp/uk

  18. @yolanda9666 on September 3, 2025 at 9:30 pm

    can you focus in closer, when your gluing hammering? thank you. fm, America, florida

  19. @Марийя-л8ф on September 3, 2025 at 9:31 pm

    Какая милая банкетка! Вы проделали ювелирную работу, я в восхищении! 👏👌

  20. @scottcates on September 3, 2025 at 9:31 pm

    Excellent!

  21. @167curly on September 3, 2025 at 9:31 pm

    A charming piece, and the new fabric is just right for it.👌

  22. @LOTGiscool on September 3, 2025 at 9:32 pm

    Another fine job at the hands of the Master.

  23. @lesliecombs2489 on September 3, 2025 at 9:35 pm

    I have a A wicker stool

  24. @benbrubaker7896 on September 3, 2025 at 9:37 pm

    How do you know when you have used enough staples?

  25. @jenn976 on September 3, 2025 at 9:37 pm

    Beeautiful. The fabric may be difficult to deal with but it is perfect for the stool.

  26. @Полина-м1х7п on September 3, 2025 at 9:38 pm

    Шедевр.обожаю ваши ролики 👍

  27. @melodienaber3238 on September 3, 2025 at 9:39 pm

    The ratchet strap to assist with right angles, BRILLIANT! ❤❤

  28. @p18gem on September 3, 2025 at 9:42 pm

    superb job as always- wish you were near to Scotland= I have a chair that needs sorted!!!!😀

  29. @LarryCrandall-z2w on September 3, 2025 at 9:47 pm

    The stool lives for another day.

  30. @christopherstinnett1234 on September 3, 2025 at 9:48 pm

    Now I will be self-conscious about how I hold my tool.

  31. @CogentConsult on September 3, 2025 at 9:48 pm

    Im surprised at how many staples you are able to put into that wood. Beautiful work!

  32. @pamelaremel7477 on September 3, 2025 at 9:48 pm

    I think this turned out SO lovely! Excellent job as usual!

  33. @holymoly6829 on September 3, 2025 at 9:48 pm

    Can you repair my stool please 🙏 Master ?

  34. @killy1958able on September 3, 2025 at 9:49 pm

    Love it, you are amazing 😊

  35. @karavalle12 on September 3, 2025 at 9:50 pm

    Very nice work👍, however I have a question?Doesn’t the impressive number of small nails that you have to hold the fabric make the wood fragile?🥴

  36. @michelvidal7666 on September 3, 2025 at 9:50 pm

    👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
    A good point for having identified the parts between them !!! (Rare on YouTube videos…)

  37. @ulrike6000 on September 3, 2025 at 9:50 pm

    Wow!😅👍👍🫶

  38. @davidcezarlopescezarlopes1293 on September 3, 2025 at 9:51 pm

    Lindo

  39. @brendaowens2466 on September 3, 2025 at 9:51 pm

    I would have put decorative pins on the edge. It is a lovely piece.

  40. @cantiliver26 on September 3, 2025 at 9:53 pm

    Yo pensé que lo iba a lijar todo y lo iba a aclarar.
    Lo siento ésta vez no me gustó.

  41. @matt-of-lancs on September 3, 2025 at 9:53 pm

    Ah! So it was originally a bergere stool!

  42. @lesliecombs2489 on September 3, 2025 at 9:54 pm

    It originally had a wicker seat

  43. @loisgalloway7143 on September 3, 2025 at 9:54 pm

    It turned out beautiful. I love the fabric design!!! ❤

  44. @lisataylor2620 on September 3, 2025 at 9:55 pm

    Beautiful

  45. @kleshnevskaya on September 3, 2025 at 9:55 pm

    It seems the client was very stingy. A stingy person pays twice.

  46. @jonathanlewis9098 on September 3, 2025 at 9:56 pm

    Did I miss something because I didn’t see him strip off the old stain b4 staining it?

  47. @renewarren3242 on September 3, 2025 at 9:56 pm

    This is just the tutorial I needed to refinish an old stool for an elderly neighbor. Q: What is the cloth laid on top of the straps?

  48. @marywiklander-williams6493 on September 3, 2025 at 10:04 pm

    Again, really like your helpful instructions…like about the glue and fabric…..so helpful for less experienced individuals.

  49. @2quintly on September 3, 2025 at 10:04 pm

    Another fantastic restoration. Too bad the customer didn’t want the cane.

  50. @mariaalicemuradmello6347 on September 3, 2025 at 10:05 pm

    Great job! Amazing talent!
