I really like seeing old items that have been repaired over the years. Those items have history, they were needed, used, and served a purpose. Reduce, reuse, recycle.

Your ability of making small things so enjoyable is one of the reasons we love you!

I laughed out loud when I saw your video. I literally just fixed my upstairs neighbor’s stool yesterday and it’s the exact same IKEA stool. Broke in the same place at the stretcher.

So glad you showed this. I'm sitting at a desk made from a 25 year old table top that came from Target that my wife bought in college. I've made this into a kids coloring station, a makeshift work bench, a table, and now a desk. I just keep modifying it and I consider myself a pretty accomplished woodworker. Repurposing or repairing stuff you own is fun too. I'm sending my daughter to college this fall....hmmm. Maybe?

Nothing wrong with repairing things, even IKEA. Some decades ago I mad en oak table top for my kitchen table in the shop of friend. The frame and the legs of the table are IKEA. I still have it after 45 years and it still holds well.

I don't see why fixing something would be bad if it isn't totally destroyed. Good work!

Snide remark But for real, fun to see the "reuse" part of trying to make less waste. And it might inspire some people to actually repair their stuff, which spreads it. Keep it up.

This was interesting. I like repairing furniture. Sometimes it can be tricky. Right now I have a really nice _looking_ white oak, mission rocking chair I was given. It was modified by the maer from a very standard Mission plan, but not wisely modified. I have to find pieces of whiteoak scrap that I can match to the front apron so I can patch a break in it. Matching grain, especially the ray pattern is really tricky.

Might be cool to do a ship of theseus situation - replace each component until it's completely made with 100 year old oak. Is still an Ikea stool now? Is it an antique?

Environmental science teacher here. Way to reuse/recycle something ( three Rs: reduce reuse recycle)! A truly simple project too for novices. So funny... just yesterday I watched Johnny Builds and the whole chair controversy... Are they worth the time to build? Seems they answer from him and his guests and now you is.... eh... not really. In retirement... maybe. Keep up the great content.

Of all the Ikea furniture I’ve purchased, I don’t think I’ve ever seen any wood as sturdy as poplar. I could be wrong.

@WoodByWrightHowTo Күн бұрын

Poplar is not a common one for them. they use a lot of pine and birch. but they use it in a few places. it is not a very strong wood, but it is better then most pines.

@Wood By Wright - James, I am curious about the (Japanese or Chinese?) iron in the smoothing plane you're using in this video; I've never seen that make of iron before. Apologies if you've already done a review & explanation about it. Just wondering who makes it, how well it performs (edge retention, steel quality, ease of sharpening). I enjoy trying new irons by different makers. I'm especially happy with Magna Cut by Lake Eerie & Hock's A2 irons are currently in 2nd place for me. Thanks as always for the entertaining videos & information.
