After watching most of your videos and those of Thomas Johnson, I took on a client's piece of furniture with "most of the time" confidence. I was not only able to disassemble the piece while tagging all the parts, cleaning the joints, but repair the splits and breaks even to replacing a piece of wood that had broken off. Light cleaning and sanding, some recoloring (TransTint) and regluing and the client was amazed I was such a genius. I replied that I had a good bit of help from some experts and mentors. Thanks for all you have shown as I will continue to keep watching.

It looks like the PU glue stuck better on the outside of the legs than inside the joints! One trick, if I may: for a colour like that, it is always adding the yellow into the white, to raise the white, it is almost impossible to add enough white to the yellow: as you show it, you ended up adding a lot of white. I learned that the hard way during my youth, tryng to colour match the blue of the tiles in the bathroom to hide a chipping. After defeat, I had to admit that my dad was right :)

I've been having trouble with some cheap wooden chairs which in my ignorance I'd "repaired" using screws instead of taking them apart & glueing them. Thanks to your videos I've had the confidence to attack the job anew, with knowledge of which glues are best for which jobs. Today I purchased some good PVA glue with an easy applicator, a pair of 450 mm quick action trigger clamps and some two-part epoxy adhesive for filling gaps made by time & movement. The clamps are just the right length to clamp the legs to the seat base. Once these adhesives have cured I can tackle the chair-backs which show little evidence of having been glued at all.

When I worked in the furniture industry, I would sometimes have to order parts for customers in preparation for furniture repair personnel to be dispatched to customer’s homes for service. It was always crucial to make clear to the consumer the industry standard of “RIGHT / LEFT FACING” parts over their inclination to call something right or left from their perspective of sitting on the furniture. Re: the finger joints…. I’m surprised they weren’t glued at factory. Had they been, this chair may have been quite an ordeal to get apart.

@FixingFurniture 2 жыл бұрын

Good point about right and left notation. I don't have staff to hand furniture off to, so I use notation that makes sense to me for reassembly. I also agree with you about those corner blocks, it was a lost opportunity to build a stronger chair. Cheers. Scott

@byhammerandhand 10 күн бұрын

When I do chairs, I just number the parts 1,2,3,4 in a clockwise direction, stretchers and rungs are always numbered in the clockwise side, for example, the your stretcher on the right would be numbered 2 on the near side. If there is a cross piece , it is numbered 5, as is the joint it goes into. If there is more than one stretcher, the top one is labeled 2' and the bottom one 2, etc. It always seemed redundant to me to label a stretcher Left front and left back, for example, each piece only needs one label with my method. Oh, and I work on theater sets and they get labeled "stage right and stage left" unlike furniture "left side facing".

Paul Sellers - and I - use the aluminium sash cramps you suggest we ditch. You can glue wooden blocks to the surface of each vice jaw to minimise the bruising of the wood. Also, as PVA works by being forced into the fibres of the wood where it gets absorbed and evaporates, I wonder if the cramps you use provide enough pressure for this to happen.

Upholsterers have a tack lifter to pull nails out of wood, so you don't damage the wood that much. Or you can cut out a V shape out of an old narrow chisel, that is also possible.

It makes me 'Spit', when I see someone has used nails. I'm fortunate that I have managed to find some tiny hole saws. 1/4, 5/8, 10mm, so I can drill over the nail or screw to create the relief you suggest. It makes life much easer, then I plug with a dowel. So far, my repairs have been on stained or clear finish, but I think I should invest in a paint kit similar to yours. Thanks Scott

@billparrish4385 2 жыл бұрын

I've always found a small cat's paw pry bar useful for digging out the head of a stubbornly-embedded nail. The curved bottom allows the nail-pulling groove to scoop down into the wood on either side of the head, and there's usually a striking surface for a hammer back behind the working end, to drive it in and help that scooping. Then either the curved bottom surface of the cat's paw can leverage it free, or else nail-puller pliers with a curved bottom surface, or curved rocker standing off one side, will extract it with no problem. Another option is a combo nail puller pliers with angled handles and the striking surface of a cat's paw, such as the Nail Hunter pliers by Lee Valley. All great options to make nail extraction easy, and eliminate the need to break the joint.

I was wondering if another option to drilling out the brad nails with a drill would be to use a small hollow drill bit to drill a circle around the nail, something like what is used for making dowels, I saw some the are similar to a hole saw bit for the drill that have some with diamond coating on the ends. some of the bits look fairly small and might be small enough to only drill about the size you are attempting. my thought is that with a circular hole perhaps you could then insert a dowel or the like back into the hole instead of filling with putty or wax stick

Nicely made video. However as someone who has been playing the same game for 46 years I would not dismiss any sort of clamp. I have lots of different ones in my workshop. Firstly it is easy to make cork pads to protect the work for any clamp . Secondly trigger clamps often fail to produce a controlled clamping pressure due to slight spring back on the final squeeze. Where as screw clamps can produce very controlled clamping pressure. On reflection I think the Klemmsia cam clamps are the ones I use the most. I also use the simple Spanish windlass on awkward shapes

I don't agree with your technique this time. Why Don't you try to remove the nails by hitting the tip rather than cutting it? Regarding PU glue, it is perfectly suitable for tenons. You just have to clean them well and apply glue everywhere. PVA glue does not stick well if there is not good pressure and if the fibers of the wood cross. For tenons nothing better than hard glue or PU glue because of the gap you could have on old furniture.
