You have a really great way of explaining things. Thank you. I now have my fix for a wobbly chair. I will follow your channel. I think we all need an assistant.
Wow! Thanks! I ended up not even needing to repair a wobble! Turns out it was the floor that I checked for a wobble was uneven. The floor where we have the chairs for our dinner table is even so now I know what was happening! THANK YOU! You saved me a few hours!
FYI, when you rotate your chair to test the wobble again, make sure to rotate your chair 90 degrees, not 180. Rotating 90 will change the axis of wobble so you can confirm the problem is your chair and not the floor. If you rotate 180, you're keeping the wobble in the same axis and re-testing won't tell you anything.
Wow I’m glad that I’m watching these before buying new table that some said that it wobble. and also have a dining chair that always slightly wobbly (i know that it’s not the floor since that chair already went though 2 houses) the hot glue ones are definitely my wallet saver man, i can’t thank you enough with this letter!
Thank you. Terrific video. Straightforward and real-world field solutions from a professional. I have literally smashed a couple of small table builds because of a taunting rock that endless nibbling and sanding would not solve.
The hot glue gun trick worked great! I have an old kitchen chair in which the bottom of one of the legs is really beat up to the point where it couldn't take a nail in slider. Tried the glue gun and problem solved! Thanks!
I would also love to see the tearing apart and re-gluing process because i have an antique narrow back jacobean chair. I would like to re-glue the legs because they are quite loose. Thank you for your videos, you are making it easier for a mom at home to learn these things that would other-wise be hard! Another one i would like to see that i do not thing i saw in your catalog, (feel free to correct me,) Is what to do when veneer has actually chipped off in an area. I have an antique art deco wardrobe I am thinking of that I would like to fix.
What if the dining set I bought has chairs with glides, but some wobble like the second chair you worked on that didn't have the glides? What would you have done since the hot glue method wouldn't have worked?
I cannot believe how simple this is. I've just bought an antique dining set and every single one of the 8 chairs has a wobble to some degree. As an avid crafter, a hot glue gun is part of my arsenal. I am so excited to fix those chairs. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for the video. I appreciated that you took your time to describe the process. I hadn't considered either option - especially the hot glue. For when you put the chair back together (in the video you retrospectively thought would have been a good idea) would you recommend using hot glue or wood glue only?
That's a great question actually. You wan't the chair to sit level. Whichever leg is elevated off the ground when the chair seat is level would be the culprit.
Thank you for posting this. Imma try it out. I just got a new table and chairs and all four chairs have a wobble on the same leg... guess maybe its a user or manufacturer error. Even still I love the set and need to try and find a way to fix it
Have to tell your clients the chair has been leveled on a dead flat surface because the likelihood it's going to rock where they put it, unless on carpet or thick rug, is high.
I should have, but was a little rushed to get them done for the client. I'll definitely film that process on another set in the near future. Thanks for watching!!
Well Bobby, occasionally I will make a misstep when filming a video, but this was not one of those instances. There are 360 degrees in a full circle, which leaves us with 180 in a half circle. 90 degrees will put you at the 3 o'clock position. Thanks for watching.
Such a great easy method. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for this video!
The chair I’m sitting on no longer wobbles thanks to your method & video. 👍

Dude! Thanks! Used the glue gun "trick" worked like a charm!!
Thank you very much for your help i just fix my table with your method number 1 works very well nice job keep up with your good work help people
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, I have a couple of kitchen chairs I’ll try to fix now.
However I get distracted by shiny things as well.
You can do it!
@@FurnitureRefinishingStudio I used the hot glue method and it worked perfect.
Thanks again for sharing.
So happy to have found this video! I thought I will have to cut my coffee table a bit shorter, but will now try the glue gun method!

Thank you for this. Really Helpful.
Simple yet clever repairs, thank you.
I would have never thought about that.

That is very clever: and importantly, well within the skill of the average DIYer. I have never seen such a neat simple method.
👍👍☺️
Great video. Super ideas you’ve shown. I’m going to try the last two 👏🏻👏🏻😊
My future wood projects have hope! You've got a great voice for DIY videos by the way. Your casual swearing made me laugh
Thank You !

Thank you Elizabeth, and I will totally fit those tutorials into our schedule so that we cover those subjects :-)
Great video 👍

I covered that in the video with the washer.

For re gluing chairs, wood glue all the way. I do have a video on subject if you want to look it up.
I have also used my tablesaw top and a glass topped table for their flat surfaces.
I understand how to figure out which TWO legs are the problem but how did you determine which of the two was too short?
That's a great question actually. You wan't the chair to sit level. Whichever leg is elevated off the ground when the chair seat is level would be the culprit.
@@FurnitureRefinishingStudio Oh ok: I will just put a level on it and I should be able to figure out the offending leg. Thanks.
Thank you so much wonderful tricks 😉😉
Awesome video ! Would the first method work on 2 end tables for a bedroom? They both have a small wobble. Thanks
Thank You, and Absolutely !

Very helpful tips. Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Excellent tip with the washer under the slide - simpler is better :o)
I feel like the hot glue is a bit too weak and It would have been better to use shims?
Awesome thank you!
Great idea!
Thank You So Much. I’m trying to make a nightstand and it wasn’t wobbly before but now right before I’m almost done it became wobbly.
Great vid and thanks for sharing, would this method work with two part epoxy resin?
Hot glue a washer onto the base of the leg?
Yes sir ! Almost as crazy as a piece of sticky felt or a silicone foot with a nail, huh? lol
Well done thank you.
"O wow, that's crazy sht". 🤣🤣🤣
Have to tell your clients the chair has been leveled on a dead flat surface because the likelihood it's going to rock where they put it, unless on carpet or thick rug, is high.
feel like an idiot. Here I am looking for adjustable gliders and I just needed a washer between the one that came with it.
Got to 4:00, yep, my floor is uneven :(
I'd love to see the tearing apart and regluing process.
I should have, but was a little rushed to get them done for the client. I'll definitely film that process on another set in the near future. Thanks for watching!!
I would never have thought to use hot glue.
Yeah but what if the chair legs wobble
Then the chair needs to be re glued. We have a video on how to do that as well on our channel.
Your voice made this more interesting. Bet you’re a good ass story teller
If you turn the chair 180 it will be the same as before, you should turn it 90 for a true reading. Just saying. By the by, very useful video.

That was a great burn! Like hot glue on a fingertip!! Great video.Thank you Sir.
