Awesome!! Thanks for the tip

Great job! Looks like nothing ever happened to the chair.

Thanks for the video - appreciate you for sharing the mistake!

Texas, USA 🇺🇸

That first chair just needed a match put to it.

Really like the look of the Hard Fill repair kit. But a little put off by the warnings on the sticks

Your thoughts on using dowels for repair are very interesting. Given that, what's your opinion of using dominoes for repair work? Thanks for putting out your content. Very helpful.

I pressed on this video because this pedestal looks just like the one my mom has. The leg design is the same but it’s round on top.

Thankyou so much for this comparison, you made it simple to understand

Hi.. from Pakistan.. I have broken furniture joint.. can you help me fixing it if I share pictures?

That's not how you use calipers, next time get a ruler or use a drill to hammer nails in place

Say there Scotty looking for those spreader clamps “ help “

New to french polishing here. Is there a reason you put tinted store-bought shellac on top of your lovely french polish instead of color-matching first and THEN applying the french polish??

Another great job!

I am watching your videos for quite a while. I think each of them are having quite valuable lessons. I also look at the videos of other people who repair furniture, but your working technique, cleanliness, analytical approach and on-point explanations are incredibly beautiful and of much better quality. Thank you very much for these shares.

Well done!

Dziękuje za kolejny fajny filmik. Zdrowia życzę.

I wish you would do more on pricing jobs

OMG! This is fabulous! Maybe do a 3 person panel with call-in or pre-sent viewer questions?

Love this format. But maybe add a 3rd party to ask noob questions? Another fun addition would be Tamar of 3C3Custom, who has her own insights from experiments.

Bourbon Moth Woodworking needs to watch this! In fact, that entire genre needs some glue education.

What do you do when you mess up the center?

Great idea! Would this work if the plug was glued as well? If not, I would love to see a method to handle that. Thank you!

Great video thank you.

It isn't woodworking if no mistakes were made.

Awesome content! I'm from Northern California and have four outstanding woodworkers I follow: John's Furniture Repair, Flipping Drawers, Thomas Johnson Antique Furniture and of course, Fixing Furniture!! Thanks for the expert craftsmanship!

Perfect video for a newbie at fixing furniture. I appreciate your clear instructions and calm way of speaking. Your expertise is something I can count on.

Je legt het rustig uit. Bedankt

It seems to me that, perhaps, a serious problem here that was overlooked was a _structural_ repair of the chair seat. Do you have another video that covers this? I have such a chair in need of repair -- where the entire seat was split and partially repaired with a metal strap on the bottom. Suggestions?

That was a really good vid and good job Scotty ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Like the chip/dust collection on the lathe

What is the name of this type of chair?

GETTTT INNNNN! You are the MANNNN 👌🏼

You are a pro. Very entertaining to watch you doing your thing.

hi great video i must admit i have been making dowel repairs for years i am a good spindle turner an have reproduced parts when necessery ,what repair do you reccomend for the second rocking chair ? make a new part ? thanks again for a great video

Could you share some tips on repining back "stile" in an older rocking chair please?

Great job. I enjoyed it and appreciate the passion you have for repairing.

Welland, Ontario, Canada : between Lake Erie & Lake Ontario. with thanks!

Hi! My daughter and I are working on an old Sellers cupboard which has a tambour door. I also own two types of Hoosier cupboards. I love them! Thanks for the video.:) We live in Indiana. In Nappanee , IN there is a museum for Hoosier cupboards located in the building where they used to make the cupboards. Free entry and a free film telling about the history of Hoosier cupboards.

Looks like someone tried to make this rocking chair rock and roll with dowels, but it ended up just plain rockin' poorly instead!

Yo, professional wood turner: don’t hit your lathe Morse taper with metal..it will mushroom the end and in turn damage your internal MT on your lathe.

If the only option is a dowel type situation, create a dowel across the grain then when installing, you will always have across grain to end grain situation. This is similar to a normal doweled joint where there is always a cross grain situation and an end grain to cross grain.

Thank you for your videos! I have several pieces of Ethan Allen furniture from the late 60s or early 70s that need refinishing. I am trying to determine the finish. Tung oil does not absorb. Denatured alcohol does seem to soften and remove the finish - my rag turns brown. Lacquer thinner also softens the finish. Could these pieces be shellac underneath lacquer? Thank you for any information that you can provide.

Perfect

Mid Century is all the rage now, especially Scandinavian design. I’m just wondering about these pieces. Are they solidly made? Were the chairs mostly made with design in mind, and less so durability? For example we have dressers and tables that have lasted for centuries. These pieces are from the fifties.

How much would charge for a repair this. That`s always a hard one for me to figure out for me?

A dowel joint is a strong joint if it's done correctly. Dowels have been used in joints throughout history. But part of what you are saying is correct. The strength of the joint is along the sides of the dowel. This works well if the wood the dowel is going into is thick enough. Then the weak spot at the end of the dowel that you spoke of is not weak at all. But when you have paper thin wood around the dowel, it's an extremely weak joint. It's the same thing if you secure something with a screw or a bolt. That can be an extremely strong joint. But only if it has a lot wood around the fastener to give it that strength. If you screw into thin or compromised wood, that joint will fall apart. And another factor to consider in a glue joint is surface area. The more contact surface between the two pieces being glued, the stronger the connection.

What about using a tapered drill bit and a dowel tapered at the same angle? Would need to make some jigs to shape the dowels. But could save time for a complex turning or where rare wood is involved

Dude, just sand it. Screw the chemical stripper. In my experience hand sanding with 120 grit is the best to remove finish. Do it out side and wear a mask, sand paper and elbow grease is all you need and it will give much better results. Oh and is much better for the environment. No chemicals.

I like drilling out a mortise by about 1/64 of an inch and making the tenon wider by the same so as to get new ‘raw’ wood to glue to. Great job, thanks.
