Great job on the chair Trena, you would never know that, that seat was messed up.

What a beauty! It would be interesting to know how old the chair is. We visited the farm in So Dak back when young and I remember the chairs having wire wrapped around the bottom of some of them. People didn't find things as disposable as many do today. Everything was kept, restore, renewed or "fixed" as best they could. I don't remember many new things but repaired and made to look new or just repaired as best a nail could do it. The memories touch my heart and there was a happiness in the old things as they showed the past and use those items got. Love those memories. I so wish there was a greater love of the items from the past as I felt they were when growing up. I love your trade for that very reason and the perfection ane pride you take in your work. Thank you for retaining the past and keeping memories "new" for so many of your customers. Thank you for sharing all these things with us. Beautifully done once again! Blessings

Very fascinating repair! I’d never heard of a paper seat before. I’ve seen Julian Baumgartner use his hot table to flatten distorted canvas artwork.

I loved the seat repair. My grandparents used a similar technique to repair book covers. On another KZread channel I noticed a guy using a small drill bit to remove wood around a nail so that he could gain a grip on it for removal. He also uses wood plane shavings to fill in the gap for loose tenons. Thanks for sharing your restoration skills.

I grew up with a lot of relatives on farms and just accepted that wooden chairs with twisted wire holding the legs together was just how they were made. It was only years later, working for a furniture refinisher, that I heard the term "farmer fix". An d I agree. there is something quaint(?) about that kind of repair.

Great job on the chair and the seat. You take pride in your work even if your hinge had an contribution in its finish.
