Uhhhh. This should have been split, properly recut and glued.

All I can say is; you did a really good job of hiding a terrible repair.

You did a nice job of hiding the problem temporarily and you'll get to do it again next year.

If a 6 foot table is splitting in half, what is a bowtie that's only half an inch thick in the middle gonna do? I would just cut the cracked section out and add a middle section back in

Despite what the comments say, this was a great fix imo and there are about a million ways to fix something, this guy clearly knows what he was doing plus the color matching was perfect. Can't even tell that the table was cracked in half

Wait ! You needed to pull the table together BEFORE adding the bowtie. Now the surface is wider on one end ! The dowels do nothing.

Que lindo trabalho um artista em madeira parabéns 👏👏👏👏

Your eye for colour matching the new timber is exceptional

My grandfather showed me how to fix tablets that crack. Bow ties work for this type of fix. Bye not clamping the wood you're not putting pressure on the stressed area that caused the problem in the first place. But the proper way is to cut out a board with with the crack in the center of the board. Glue in a new board clamp and refinish. Fixed many since the 70s. And the only tables that haven't came back too haunt me years later we the tables i cut out the crack and effected area . In a nut shell you have to remove the stress that caused the crack . Or it will come back in years or decades.

Great great profissional!!!👏

Beautiful! Looks perfect to me! ❤

Señor. Ud es un maestro de la madera. Le presento mMis respetos.

👍👍👍👍👍 شغل فاااخر من الآخر

I don't think I've ever seen a better example of "its all in the finish" in my life. I think the repair job was a bad one, first using a bowtie that does nothing in this case because it's so thin & badly placed, & then wedging the Crack apart even further. It's basically being held by sawdust & superglue. Great finish though...

Parabéns pelo belíssimo trabalho.

Incredible color match job! The repair was a little off but it works

Bravissimo...... Eccellente lavoro

this is art!

Nice seen crazy glue and baking soda used but crazy glue and some wood dust nice.

Rất tuyệt vời tay nghề của bạn rất cao. Mình cũng là thợ mộc nên rất thích những video của bạn mình sẽ bấm đăng ký kênh của bạn và rất mong muốn được kết bạn để giao lưu với bạn.❤❤

Nice painting skills to match the wood

What was that? That was some kind of magic. Sorcery. I subscribed.

Wow! Excellent work!

Was the table struck by lightning ! Overall, a great repair. But you should have clamped the table back to square. Before you started.

You NEED to clamp the split in the table together before applying the bow tie connection. It would save a lot of time and maintain the original look of the table without all that extra work. Glue, clamp, level out both sides, bow tie, saw dust fill in, sand, stain, and seal. Done. All the extra work is unnecessary.

Красиво, но долго. Проще вырезать и вставить рейку

職人の技は見ていて気持ち良い。

Great like from România 🔔👍🤝👏

สุดยอดเลยฝีมือช่าง

Now you have a tabletop that is not square. You should have glued and pipe clamped the crack first then add the bowtie.

Wow, very compliments!

I am curious as to why you did not clamp that back together?

I suspect CA glue, while being very expedient, does not have the flexibility needed to bond wood. It get very hard, therefore very brittle, it will fail as assuredly as those honey consistency polyurethane glues. I used that on some furniture repair before I understood the properties of the stuff. Every joint failed in two years. Took every joint apart, cleaned that crap off, used a type II modern wood glue, probably Titebond, that was ten years ago, still stable and holding. I applaud your color matching skills, the finished product looks good. I think you'll be redoing it in a couple of years.

Clean the cracked out Put some glue in it get along bar clamp and Pull it together. Then put the bow tie in.

That was pretty badass....

Don't give up your day job!

I wish I had so much support from people❤❤❤

Those Big Thick wood table tops are nice BUT they Will eventually develop a crack.

Good job for not using any high end tools

Nice job matching the finish. Remarkable, really. But I think this is a temporary fix at best.

Great fix, except I would just taken to the table saw and ripped it done the middle then glued back together.

Good attempt but internal cracks will keep going

That was a very good job and that was not easy to do

This reminds me one time 50 years ago I had a flat tire When I open my trunk both spare tires was flat too

Excellent work

Looked good I think it will be great Can't tell it ever had a crack

The gent needs to lay off the caffeine ☕. I use to do desk repair but never to that extreme. Most of ours was large nicks or scratches. Swell the fiber and sand down. Finish accordingly. He had his work cut out for him. Finished nice 👍

Belíssimo trabalho de restauração. Obrigado por compartilhar seus conhecimentos.

It's wider at one end now.

My rocking chair sits on the back deck during the day. I bring it in when bad weather approaches. Will the hot sun losen the glue joint? Should epoxy be used instead of white or Titebond type glue? Adding a butterfly wedge and spline is what I plan to do as you did. I'll put added coats of Polyurethane as added protection. Thanks for the post.

Buy yourself a plane, much better than a chisel to take the excess wood down to flush

Ud es un artista y un maestro

Could have just used polish to buff out the crack. 😁

Perfekt gute Arbeit alle Achtung !

im suspicious of this entire fix..so many things not right

Ud ha hecho una mala reparacion ! Los siento, saludos de todas fkrmas gracias por el video

Love the strict safety code. No hard hats, no heavy work gloves, no eye protection no steel tipped work boots. They probably have a iron clad work disability policy. Yep when a worker gets a arm cut off they give him a cup to beg for money.

Волшебство

O centro teria ficado show com trabalho de resina epoxi, eu preferia.

Epoxy resin would be the best for this job

Luar biasa service yang keren

Wow! Nice! 👍👍

This is what is called a quick and dirty repair job. The part is missing where a tin of acetone is then emptied over the "repaired" piece of furniture and set alight. What's with the piece of white plastic? Was there no appropriate wood for the job?

This probably came in handy during the Wild West bar brawls

Класс,чтобы так сделать нужно быть профи,специалистом номер 1 в своей профессии,браво.

Why didn’t you use a large vise machine and squeeze the table together and then add fillers?

I would not have repaired the table like that. I would remove the top from the frame. Then use a wire brush to clean out the debris in the gap. I would test clamp it together and clean out until I could close the gap completely. I would then flood the gap with glue and clamp together. I would add small reinforcements across the gap underneath using glue and screws. Sand the top and using the sawdust make a filler with glue to close any gaps.

You can't do this, 'cos the width now has increase, its hollow inside, and the stress inside hasn't been addressed!

Glue and table clamp the dang thing then touch it up!

The craziest was putting those dowels in wood that had no holes in the first place. Who are you?

The crack repair doesn't look like its gonna last.

You should have made a video of you breaking the table so you could make this video.

The only thing you managed to do here is add even more stress to the crack by adding more wood. Not only is this table not in square anymore, but it can split apart at any time.

Не проще трещины эпоксидной смолой заполнить?

Muy simple.trabajo para un aprendiz

베리 굿~🙆

Magician !

Kinda shocked by this jack job on such a beautiful table.

Great Job.... Congratulations from Brazil...

Well, still better than epoxy pour

Muy buen trabajo

中國技術，名揚四海！👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

INACREDITÁVEL!!!🇧🇷🇧🇷👊👊👍👍👍

Amazing !

Why did you cover the bowtie? That looked cool.

I don't experience in this and yet I feel like this is done so half-assed.

Haven’t you just repaired it so it’s not straight anymore?

Puedes mostrar si el ancho de la mesa no se vio afectada??

Thanks for showing everyone how not to do things

increditable!

Подумал сейчас лапшой заполнит все 😁

Thats a man in desperate need of a router.

Tuyệt vời!

Excellent workmanship 👍

I'm surprised he didn't use top Ramen

Что должно произойти, чтобы так порвало столешницу? Или сейчас стало модным делать мебель из сыропиленной древесины?
