Woodturning for Furniture Restoration and Repair |

Woodturning is a skill that increases your ability to restore broken furniture. Chairs frequently have parts that are turned on a lathe and the only way to make replacement parts is to reproduce them using the same tools as the original craftsman. The lathe is also a fun tool to use as you can transform a piece of wood so quickly into something beautiful.
I share some advice if you're interested in learning woodturning and demonstrate the turning of a new foot for an antique chair. I read every comment and respond to most. Let me know you thoughts or ask your questions. Here are some resources to help you:

another great craft video. I have the following to consider about epoxy. Epoxy not only emits poisonous vapors (similar to PCB) during mixing, but unfortunately also later in the apartment. It's all the rage now to build tables and countertops with epoxy. In connection with acids, it produces reactions that are carcinogenic. I don't use epoxy at all

As a metal turner to trade, wood turning terrifies me for some reason. I think I'm always waiting for the chisel to catch and just get spat out. Anyway, great video as always and a neat trick to get the final length marked out.

@FixingFurniture 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks Rodger. Woodturning can be initiating if you don't learn the fundamentals of how the chisel needs support. There's a phrase about A-B-C that's important every time you approach the work. A = Anchor the chisel on the toolset, B = Bevel... rub the bevel on the workpiece, meaning placing the chisel higher than the cutting edge. and C = Cut, where you lower the chisel to begin cutting. It's the safe way to approach the work. I you just jab the chisel into the work, it will turn into a projectile. Cheers. Scott

Hi Glen. This chair is for a customer who is gilding the furniture herself, so I won't show the finishing of this. Were you asking to see the end product for this specific chair? Did you ask for another reason? Scott

Hi Scott, love all your videos! Always clear and concise and very easy to follow. Have really learned quite a bit. thank you. Was interested in the "pin concept" used by original chair maker. Can this pin (assume its a dowel? ) be added to an existing joint to add stabilization for repair of wobbly back legs ? Repair needs to be done underneath with upholstery attached to seat frame...wish it could be disassembled I would love to follow your video on using epoxy glue for curved frame..very challenging job. Appreciate any advice you may have :))

@FixingFurniture 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Andrea. Adding a pin to a loose joint won't fix the problem. This is a construction technique that results in a longer-lasting joint. It sounds like you need to remove some or all of the upholstery to repair that chair. Here's a video on how to tackle a project like that. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rrqUis9k39umcp8.html

I made a jig to level chair feet. It's a piece of sheet goods (I used MDF). In one corner, I routed a recess the thickness of my saw blade kerf. Then drilled a hole deeper in the center. Slide the long leg in the hole with the other three legs on the flat part. Then use the recess to flush cut the leg. If the feet have glides or pads, you have to remove and replace them is all. I found it faster and easier than marking and trying to saw to the line as you have a perfect reference surface.

Fantastic work as always, Scott! When you do something extra like round over the new leg to match the others, do you communicate that to the customer? I bet many people wouldn't know all the fine details you do with their pieces.

@FixingFurniture 2 жыл бұрын

That's a good question Brian. No, I don't communicate that to customers but maybe I should. My goal is to make the repair disappear.

I enjoy your furniture repairs channel. I took your advice and went to the channel for Kim‘s upholstery and I subscribed there but she hasn’t put out a video in over three years I don’t think that she supports the KZfaq channel anymore so it’s not much good to subscribe to her because she doesn’t put on any new contact. Sometimes creators from KZfaq put out their content for a short time and then stop doing it and think that no new content is needed kinda disappointing. Just thought I would let you know.
