    🤗 THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! People forget that there are those of us out here with absolutely no woodworking knowledge, skill, or tools. I followed your directions to measure and cut my 45 degree angles in wood braces and now my table is completely stable!!! I can't believe it was so easy! Thank you for posting this. I really appreciate it!

    this is exactly what I needed to see today. I have a drill, screws, glue, and a wobbly table. I can now proceed to fixing it. Thank you.

    Your fixes are ok for small people. I have to repair my chairs every time my grandchildren and nephews come to visit. They are in the 240 pound range. I have tried everything with poor results! I’m installing a 1/8” steel plate around the base to see if that lasts! Making the joints tight with glue and small brackets like you are showing, will eventually break the frame as the wood is weaker than the joints.

    I want to add L brackets to brand new chairs to help make them stronger from the start. This will work also, right?

    I didn't understand the part of the L. You said that we will need a screw tighter than the hole. But we must do the opposite. Smaller hole, bigger screw, otherwise the screw can't apply properly so it will not be tight to hold the forniture

  • @erismurexis966

    Thanks for the tips! I did the L-bracket one on some chairs as suggested in your video, but the chair legs sort of 'kink' inwards after fixing the brackets on. As a result, the chairs are unstable. Is there any way to solve this problem?

    • @SustainableLivingLab
      @SustainableLivingLab  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You can remove the brackets and make the angle a little bigger than 90 degrees (I normally put it on the floor with the edge facing up and knock it with a hammer) then put it back on.

    I have a table that I got but as I screwed the table legs in there are gaps and its super wobbly like it will move a good few mm, do you think L brackets will be adequate in fixing this?

      Did you find a solution? This is what my table is doing as well. But mine has glass panels on the outside so im a bit weary to try anything with screws.

    L brackets won't work. They're too soft and will bend (the table leg is an analogy of a lever). So only a 45 degree wooden board will work.

    • @MK-lh3xd
      @MK-lh3xd 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      You can try longer and thicker L clamps. Also nowadays the L clamps have a special design at the corner to strengthen the corner.

    if you're going to use glue sand away the finish first otherise you're just gluing onto the finish which makes no sense

  • @dnlofficial281
    @dnlofficial281 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Please get a bit for your drill that fits the screw. Its driving me crazy that you aways slip.. Also consider removing stain and paint before aplieing PVA glue. it will not hold to finished surfaces very well. If you dont want to remove old finish use construction adhesive.
