Name the weirdest place where you have watched my video :) 

If you are my new subscriber, then I let you know that I have also second channel, that is more learning oriented and it is all free information for you. I just watched this video myself, to remember, how to make faux wood. I usually post there when I learn something new, or I have some smaller side project that is interesting. 

This is Michigan Stadium. Its capacity is about 100 000 people. My channel has now 250 000 subscribers. All those people want to watch how some random Estonian guy is restoring furniture. My  mind is blown. 

You know that feeling, when you start some kind of work, but there is a moment when things start to go wrong and everything falls apart? That is what literally happened to me in this video. 

Question to my fans from Sweden. Is this chair from 18’th or 19’th century? The original paint on it, seems to be iron oxide, covered with black shellac. Originally it also had rattan bottom and wheels. I will be doing video about this chair. 

This was my first viral video. The first day it got 50 views and then it pretty much died. Until a half year later it went viral and got 20k views per day. I was shocked! I learned a lot about my viewers, what they really want to see, because of that one video. Strangely, the client who brought this table, brought me another item (19 century armchair with the historical note in it) and that video went viral too. He probably didn't know how much good he unintentionally did to me, by bringing me this work. 

Here are my viewers stats. Most of my viewers (75%) never subscribe. Please, tell me why? 

This chair weird chair has crazyest story. My client bought it around 1988 from Latvian port with a speedboat that was on the Russian warship Leninsky Komsomolets. This chair was on the speedboat. In one moment in its life, the warship sunk and was brought up again. I didn't find any marks of the rust on the chair, so probably this chair didn't go in the bottom of the sea or it was added later. The video is here:   https://youtu.be/NOk98oejD0Y 

What would you do when the client brings you this, and says: Hey make it look like beautiful cabinet again! 600 working hours  later I got it finished. If you haven' t seen it, the video is here:  https://youtu.be/lCbJxV4xpHw?si=RKlaV... 

Somebody asked, what is the oldest item I have restored. Here it is: 500 year old, original Gothic chest from Burgundy, France. At some point it was converted into cabinet. I did some smaller repairs and refreshed it a little bit in 2014. Usually I only see these kind of items in museum.
