Both of you guys are terrific craftsmen and have made so many great videos. As a furniture maker and occasional woodshop teacher, I have especially enjoyed the repair techniques you both feature, Students slip up occasionally when making joints, or they may split a workpiece that has taken them a while to make. I can help them make almost invisible repairs and continue their projects. It gives them confidence that they can complete their projects in a timely manner, without leaving unsightly repairs. Thanks for all your efforts to produce high quality videos.
Thanks Daniel for sharing that. Perhaps wood repairs should be part of all woodworking programs. One of my favourite woodworking phrases is "The difference between a good woodworker and a great one is that a great woodworker knows how to hide their mistakes." Cheers. Scott
Two of my favorite guys are having a chat and demonstration about glue! The more I learn from you two the more I realize I have so much more to learn. This was very useful info. I hope you two will do many more videos together because you are both just awesome! 💜
I love both of you. I watch every chance I get. We hope to move soon and plan to buy used/old furniture and fix them the best we can. Watching you two and two ladies that we love too give us the hope that we will be able to do it. Thank y'all.
I was so so thrilled to see you chatting with Thomas Johnson. So great to see you guys together. Pls do lots more videos like this. You asked your subscribers who we follow and I mentioned Thomas Johnson. So we'll done. Greetings from Hermanus South Africa
Long-term fan of Tom Johnson and only recently discovered this channel. What fun to see and hear two experts in furniture repair discuss a basic issue of the craft.
A dinning room chair arm needs repair and I just discovered this channel. It’s very informative for someone new to wood repair; I’ll have to watch others. Even if I don’t attempt to repair it myself, this gives me an idea about what to ask.
Loved it. I’ve been watching Tom’s videos for quite a while. He has taught me quite a bit. Tom will answer questions I have so it’s super helpful. With this new video format it’s interesting to have two experienced professionals sharing their viewpoints. I am new to Fixing Furniture’s channel and so far the two channels bring double opportunity to learn something new.
👋🏻 From Texas! I have recently started saving furniture from ppl wanting to throw it out or custom painting pieces for ppl wanting a change to their old furniture. I try not to take on anything that needs major repairs because I’m no carpenter. That is my dads realm. However gluing is a constant on my projects. I appreciate you guys taking the time to explain different glues and their best uses. Your expertise is obvious and your videos are super helpful. I also appreciate the fact that a beginner like me can log on and quickly learn and follow your videos easily without needing a ton of previous knowledge in woodworking. Thanks again! ~Kayla-
I’ve been a long time viewer of Thomas Johnson and just recently Fixing Furniture , both of which are very valuable to the DIY and the professional. As a recently retired finish carpenter of over 40 years, I am now starting to take in single pieces of broken furniture and repairing them in my workshop. These videos are like gold for me. Thanks.
I am a newcomer to the game, did working in High School for three years back in the early '60s, now as a retired person i am pick up the hobby again. This channel has a great soundtrack no loud sounds in the background, is also a great pace to subject matter. Subject I like to see replacing wooden dowel, I was working on the headboard of rockering chair were this was the second repair for the rocker chair, first, one done with two dowel approach 1/2 inch dowel fill both hole and 1/4 inch dowel was used as the connecting to the headboard, Talked to a close friend of mine that made few rocking chairs, the large problem was drilling out a 1/2 inch hole in two side rails. I clamped the rocking chair down on my Shopsmith IV table and set Shopsmith up in the borehole configuration it took a while most of the afternoon to center align 1/2 inch post with 1/2 drill, then slow drilled out in several steps starting at 1/16, 1/8, 3/16, 1/4, 5/16, 3/8, then 1/2 inch to 1.5 inches deep the outside post of the rocker now had a 1/2 inch hole 1.5 inches deep, were top of the post the wall was zero and at 1.5 inches had a wall that was 1/2 inch were posted diameter was 1.5 inches, We felt we needed to go that deep to pick up sidewall strength Keep doing what you are doing, I have not seen anything I would change just do more video Thank again for sharing
I’ve been a huge fan of Tom’s for years. He makes excellent restoration videos and his expertise is second to none. I’ve incorporated his repair techniques, including glues into my work, although like you Scott, I use Titebond hide glue and it is nice to work with, is also reversible and cleans up easily. Great sharing of knowledge video. Would enjoy seeing more. Good job Scott.
Hi guys, I am from a repair cafe in the UK and have just started repairing an old wobbly carver style chair. Your video about glues hit the spot for me and I look forward to watching more of your shared discussions especially the future clamping methods. Thank you for sharing, regards Phil
Hi from Sweden! Would be really appreciated to have a video on grain filling before stain and finishing, what choises there is, and what to consider depending on what result you are after. Thanks a bunch for sharing your experience and expertese to all of us! It is really appreciated!
Definitely the two best furniture repair and restoration content on youtube. Also, maybe a video on wood shaping tools, e.g.,files, shinto file, chisels, etc.
Always been a huge fan of Tom Johnson! Love how he brings back these heritage pieces back from the dead. Would love to see more of these 'resurrection pieces.' Heirlooms that are pretty much in shambles or a pile and restored to new condition. Especially if there are old photographs through the years of the furniture in use, the story becomes all the more richer once it's completed.
I've been following Tom for quite awhile, but just discovered your channel (the wood finish ID video) as I'm becoming more involved in restoring my own furniture. I was ecstatic to see this video when I was searching for content on the different glues. I think this is a great format as you both are personable and very knowledgeable. I look forward to seeing many more collabs with you two!!
i have been a long term follower of Tom Johnson and his loving restoration and skills. I recently came across your videos and have admired your work. What a pleasant surprise to see you together. BTW, one of my first hand saws was a Japanese pullsaw. Love it
I have just discovered your channel and appreciate your style of presentation and easy to follow explanations. I have very little wood working experience but have done a fair bit of work repairing fiberglass boats. West Systems has a product we call micro-balloons as a thickener for their epoxy. It is very light and floats into the air with the slightest air current or just opening the packet so breathing protection is certainly required when using it. An alternative thickening agent is talcum powder which works just as well but again protection is required. I was told a useful tip when applying epoxy to a vertical surface is to place acetate sheet over it to prevent runs with the added benefit of a nice smooth surface after the acetate is peeled off.
In China, people use fish glue to fix antique wood furniture. This videos provides perfect answer to my question before I need to repair an antique nest table. Thank you!
I loved this format! I’m a woodfinisher decorative painter of 50yrs. I just started repairing and making furniture in the last few years. I think both of you countering each others techniques and knowledge was the best I’ve seen so far and it answered several questions on this repair I’m doing and what glue to use or not use. I keep pondering if I should start a channel for Woodfinishing, I do teach a class at Woodcraft once a month so we’ll see. Thank you very much. bl
Glad you liked it Bob. I'm interesting in talking to you about your wood finishing teaching potential on TH-cam. Please contact me on our Contact Us page at woodenitbenice.ca Thanks. Scott
Great stuff...I've followed Tom for quite a while, nice to see this 'Duet' ;-) Any more of these cooperative videos are welcome, they offer the slight (usually; -) ) differences between two craftsmen of different backgrounds, in different 'markets'
I like this video, I see that it was three years ago, but I'll look for newer ones. For epoxy I have also thinned it by just heating. In a small batch this can be very effective as it hardens pretty quickly but gets deep into places. One style aspect I would find very helpful is for you both to make better use of existing studies, especially if you are also referencing Fine Woodworking, where some of this is done. It was a great idea in the context of glue, but I think others have done it better.
hi, I just subscribed to your channel and I'm a handyman and I love your channel I'm learning things I didn't know, I'm 77 years old and I'm still learning, bravo, bravo
Another one of life's great mysteries solved by two craftsmen whom I watch often. Well done gents! Thank you! I always wondered about that difference between hide glue and regular wood glue. I have found hide glue to be excellent and forgiving as I do some restoration of some old family pieces.
I've never viewed any wood working video's. I have learned so much from both of your experiences and how to go about glueing my wooden bed frame. I've never repaired this before. I knew being a bed frame it has to be done correctly. And thank you for sharing this. Gosh I need the proper clamp video now..lol You guys are great!!
I personally enjoyed input from 2 masters of their trade. I've been a professional furnature maker now for 5 years and I'm eager to learn all the little things that will make my work more efficient and simply better. I'm on the lookout for the little techniques that can make my job easier.
Thanks for the information, I'm a beginning woodworker and am always curious about the clues i use and on the market. I know an entire series can be done on glues alone, so being made aware of at least some is appreciated. Thank you for the collaboration.
AKA Aliphatic Resin for woodworking (yellow glue as you referred to it) as it is the actual resin from wood that holds wood fibers together within a piece of wood. It's been around for woodworking for a very long time (my grandfather told me of it and he was born at the end of the 19th century). My first use for it was to repair a broken acoustic 6-string guitar neck (broken at the nut). It kept it's tune after the repair. 😊
Gentlemen, thank you, a lot of information brought forward, i will be trying out your suggestions, and techniques on a couple of my projects, never to old to learn. Once again, thanks for the video, I enjoyed it.
My two favorite furniture repair TH-camrs! I can't tell you how valuable you both are. I inherited all these tools from my father. I learn at least three things each time I watch you. Question - yes clamps would be great! Those hard to reach areas and what should we use when just starting out? I have a lot of clamps but I don't know what they are used for. Also, I bought a piece of furniture, an old buffet that had 4 legs in front and 2 in the back. The two center feet were gone! I didn't realize it until I got it home. They were more like a lion paw maybe made out of wood. I did make new ones by making a mold and using Bondo as the filling. Then I used I believe Titebond to glue it up. I got upset with it about the top so it has been sitting - for a year. But the feet seem to hold up. Did I do something wrong? I will have to search to see if you have anything on "missing parts". Thanks!
I really enjoyed the conversational style of the video, sharing the hosting and comparing notes. Thanks for the tips and for sharing your years of experience!
I started out with Tom way back and recently found you Scott, and have been watching your videos, I love the expertise both of you have. Tom it goes with out saying is a Master at his craft. As are you too Scott. I really learn a lot from both of you. and also another one of Tom's followers "Lost Mountain down in Kenisaw GA" is another that I watch all three of you and I can see there is as much respect and admiration for all of you to each other. And that is commendable. I love this format and hope Both you and Tom do more I look forward to them thank you both for all that you do and best yet for sharing.
Very nice video I really enjoyed it I watch a lot Tom He seems to be pretty clever I also live in Maine about 50 miles from where Tom lives and I really enjoy watching his videos and I also enjoyed watching yours so keep up the good work God bless
WOW!!! Such a treasure trove of information! So thankful I finally stumbled across you two amazing gentlemen today! My new "Go To First" sources for information! Thank you for a very well done video with great information that brings information down to the "DIY-non-professional" level of understanding.
I bought a Japanese saw with both rip and crosscut blades (I forget the proper names for these) for a kayak build I did end of 2019 especially for cutting long scarf joints to get the required lengths for gunwales and keel while maximising strength and it made a challenging job much easier due to the thin kerf and very clean cut. It's now my favourite saw and I find that the pull rather than push cut much easier to get fine control. I even wonder whether our students at the school would find these easier to learn with than the standard tenon saws they're given. I look forward to seeing how you find it and what you find are the best applications in this context of furniture repair. Thanks for another great video!
Thank you both, I really enjoy listening... Didn't realize there were different types of glue to use on wood till now. Where can I purchase hide glue in Tom's video is that something avialable at local lumber stores or order through the internet?
Thanks, the information was very basic but well presented and in truth I dont know how you would have made it better, thanks to both of you for taking the time to share. Charles
This was fantastic! I especially liked the strength tests, it really helped to illustrate why the four corners of good gluing are so important. I'd love a video talking about the journey from beginner woodworker to business craftsmen with some ideas for guiding new and/or young woodworkers.
I like this, I know John and always enjoy his work and his videos. Such a treasure of knowledge. All his videos are grate and John master many technics... but if I will be to chose one where John is really shine and surpass almost everything I see... is to match a color of a repair with the original finish (you do a nice job as well).. bun John is a kind of magician here :-) is almost miraculos how by mixing things he manage to get that so close with the original... and not only the color, but the shine and the level of dull... the patina or how that surface reflect light. I love it! I thing this should be as well one of the subject. there are so many secrets John can share with all of us. Nice idea... both of you! Thanks!
I was pretty excited to see the preview for this video. This video did not disappoint. As with other commenters, I too, subscribe to both channels. What would really be great is another collaboration video where the both of you discuss your finishing choices, preferences and techniques.
This has been great, I love the video format and look forward to more . It’s informative to hear you ask each other questions about your individual techniques.
Great format. Having a guest really ads vibrancy and life, the result is greater than the parts Epoxy is also the best option for exotic high resin wood
Thermoplastic glues can be reversed by applying heat as well. I grew up with the smell of hide glue. As it hardens over time it is destined to fail, for the same reason I avoid epoxies in applications subject to movement. Veneer got a bad name for delaminating directly due to hide glue failure. From WWII we have thermoplastic adhesives that move with the wood. Also polyurethane glues have some wonderful advantages. People will use whatever they find works for them. Thank you great video.
One great feature not mentioned for restoration of old furniture: With hide glue you can thin it down and use a thin mixture to fill pores of even half-rotten pieces or weak pieces and fix them up. I'Ve repaired chair legs, old saw handles (some were in really bad shape from moisture damage) and they got tough as nails after being reinforced by the thin hide glue mixture that seeped into the fibers. Also... hide glue and saw dust is an AMAZING filler, that also creates a really tough connection. It's not pretty like epoxy, but tough, stainable, oilable, paintable etc. I've used it to form a malleable piece of "glue/wood" putty to reform a broken horn on a saw handle. Amazing stuff that "old stuff", that people so easily disregard today.
Hi again Tom and Scott. well just could not resist watching this video again. and as always I come away learning more and more each time I watch you guys. hope to see more of you both combining your masterfull knowledge and show us some more can't wait till then thanks again to both of you and for sharing.
I subscribe to Tom's channel as well and this combination of both your expertise and experience is very useful. Yes, more of these in future is a great idea.
A big THANKYOU to both of you. I follow both channels all of the time,it was a real treat to have both of you guys doing this for the rest of us well done. all the best PHIL M

Hi guys, I am from a repair cafe in the UK and have just started repairing an old wobbly carver style chair. Your video about glues hit the spot for me and I look forward to watching more of your shared discussions especially the future clamping methods. Thank you for sharing, regards Phil
Glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful Phil! Thanks for sharing that. I love that you're doing some work in a repair cafe. Scott
Hi from Sweden!
Would be really appreciated to have a video on grain filling before stain and finishing, what choises there is, and what to consider depending on what result you are after.
Thanks a bunch for sharing your experience and expertese to all of us! It is really appreciated!
Definitely the two best furniture repair and restoration content on youtube. Also, maybe a video on wood shaping tools, e.g.,files, shinto file, chisels, etc.
Thank you for the complement and your idea of shaping wood. I'll add that top our list of possible topics.
Always been a huge fan of Tom Johnson! Love how he brings back these heritage pieces back from the dead. Would love to see more of these 'resurrection pieces.' Heirlooms that are pretty much in shambles or a pile and restored to new condition. Especially if there are old photographs through the years of the furniture in use, the story becomes all the more richer once it's completed.
Thanks for sharing that. I'll keep that in mind for planning videos. Scott
Keep them coming. This was great, I learned more about hide glue than I did.
That's great. Thanks for the feedback Ray! Scott

Most excellent discussion and format. Learned a lot !
Thanks for the feedback. I have another collaboration video coming in a few weeks about why furniture breaks with a wood expert. Stay tuned! Scott
Thoroughly enjoyed this format from my 2 favourites. A discussion on Japanese saws and clamping would be very useful

I got upset with it about the top so it has been sitting - for a year. But the feet seem to hold up. Did I do something wrong? I will have to search to see if you have anything on "missing parts". Thanks!
I really enjoyed the conversational style of the video, sharing the hosting and comparing notes. Thanks for the tips and for sharing your years of experience!
You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed it. Scott
Great video. I most appreciate the obvious years of actual experience both of you have. Thanks for being willing to share!
I started out with Tom way back and recently found you Scott, and have been watching your videos, I love the expertise both of you have. Tom it goes with out saying is a Master at his craft. As are you too Scott. I really learn a lot from both of you. and also another one of Tom's followers "Lost Mountain down in Kenisaw GA" is another that I watch all three of you and I can see there is as much respect and admiration for all of you to each other. And that is commendable. I love this format and hope Both you and Tom do more I look forward to them thank you both for all that you do and best yet for sharing.
Thanks Ellis, that's kind of you. I appreciate you sharing your thoughts. Scott
Your tutorial on wood glue was great. Thank you,
Very nice video I really enjoyed it I watch a lot Tom He seems to be pretty clever I also live in Maine about 50 miles from where Tom lives and I really enjoy watching his videos and I also enjoyed watching yours so keep up the good work God bless
WOW!!! Such a treasure trove of information! So thankful I finally stumbled across you two amazing gentlemen today! My new "Go To First" sources for information! Thank you for a very well done video with great information that brings information down to the "DIY-non-professional" level of understanding.
Wonderful! Glad we could help! Scott
I bought a Japanese saw with both rip and crosscut blades (I forget the proper names for these) for a kayak build I did end of 2019 especially for cutting long scarf joints to get the required lengths for gunwales and keel while maximising strength and it made a challenging job much easier due to the thin kerf and very clean cut. It's now my favourite saw and I find that the pull rather than push cut much easier to get fine control. I even wonder whether our students at the school would find these easier to learn with than the standard tenon saws they're given. I look forward to seeing how you find it and what you find are the best applications in this context of furniture repair. Thanks for another great video!
Thank you both, I really enjoy listening... Didn't realize there were different types of glue to use on wood till now. Where can I purchase hide glue in Tom's video is that something avialable at local lumber stores or order through the internet?
Enjoyable. Nice collaboration.
Still very informative. Thank you both.
Glad you enjoyed it! Scott
Thanks, the information was very basic but well presented and in truth I dont know how you would have made it better, thanks to both of you for taking the time to share. Charles
Thank you Charles! Scott
This was fantastic! I especially liked the strength tests, it really helped to illustrate why the four corners of good gluing are so important.
I'd love a video talking about the journey from beginner woodworker to business craftsmen with some ideas for guiding new and/or young woodworkers.
I like this, I know John and always enjoy his work and his videos. Such a treasure of knowledge.
All his videos are grate and John master many technics... but if I will be to chose one where John is really shine and surpass almost everything I see... is to match a color of a repair with the original finish (you do a nice job as well).. bun John is a kind of magician here :-) is almost miraculos how by mixing things he manage to get that so close with the original... and not only the color, but the shine and the level of dull... the patina or how that surface reflect light.
I love it!
I thing this should be as well one of the subject. there are so many secrets John can share with all of us.
Nice idea... both of you! Thanks!
Awesome, great collaboration. Learned a lot. Thank ya
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the feedback. Scott
I was pretty excited to see the preview for this video. This video did not disappoint. As with other commenters, I too, subscribe to both channels. What would really be great is another collaboration video where the both of you discuss your finishing choices, preferences and techniques.
Awesome, thank you! I like your suggestion and have added it to our idea list. Cheers. Scott
Great format and very informative...
Glad you liked it! Thanks. Scott
Awesome video Tom is great
Sure is
This was really interesting and educational.
Glad you liked it Jo. Thanks for sharing that. Scott
This has been great, I love the video format and look forward to more . It’s informative to hear you ask each other questions about your individual techniques.
Great format. Having a guest really ads vibrancy and life, the result is greater than the parts
Epoxy is also the best option for exotic high resin wood
Great video Scott. I always enjoy Tom.s insight and knowledge.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing that. Scott
🤠 This was very useful information. Great topic to be shared, thanks for your time.
Thank you gentlemen for sharing your knowledge🧠. Excellent video format.👍
Great video. I’m a subscriber to both of you and would love more of these. Thank you both.
Awesome, thank you!
I am a huge fan of both channels
Thermoplastic glues can be reversed by applying heat as well. I grew up with the smell of hide glue. As it hardens over time it is destined to fail, for the same reason I avoid epoxies in applications subject to movement. Veneer got a bad name for delaminating directly due to hide glue failure. From WWII we have thermoplastic adhesives that move with the wood. Also polyurethane glues have some wonderful advantages. People will use whatever they find works for them. Thank you great video.
One great feature not mentioned for restoration of old furniture: With hide glue you can thin it down and use a thin mixture to fill pores of even half-rotten pieces or weak pieces and fix them up. I'Ve repaired chair legs, old saw handles (some were in really bad shape from moisture damage) and they got tough as nails after being reinforced by the thin hide glue mixture that seeped into the fibers. Also... hide glue and saw dust is an AMAZING filler, that also creates a really tough connection. It's not pretty like epoxy, but tough, stainable, oilable, paintable etc. I've used it to form a malleable piece of "glue/wood" putty to reform a broken horn on a saw handle. Amazing stuff that "old stuff", that people so easily disregard today.
This is a good format. Thank you both.
Glad you enjoyed it! Scott
Enjoyed your session with Tom about types of glues. I look forward to your next joint sessions. Regards-Frank.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks Frank! Scott
