I wish you wouldn’t be so harshly judgmental about what’s interesting. More and longer videos I say! And bring back narration too pls. Thanks for the effort, I know this sort of thing isn’t easy, and we all appreciate the work you put in. 💖
Thanks for another excellent video. A technique i have used to remove broken screws is to take a roll pin with an inside diameter slightly larger then the screw, sharpen one end, Chuck it in the drill and drill down over the screw. When you get past the end of the screw it will sometimes pop loose and come out inside the roll pin. If not the wood removed by the roll pin leaves room to grip it with pliers and unscrew it. It then leaves a nice round hole easily plugged by a dowel
Nice job, Larry! The tape put on at the required drilling angle was clever. If you run into this again, try drilling half the depth of your hole from one side, then the other half from the other side.....the slight deviations are less bothersome and the resulting hole is "more straighter".
Thanks, I'm glad to see that other people sometimes have the nightmare problems I do when I go to do something - like a screw removal that takes half an afternoon !
Thanks for this excellent video. Perfect alignment - the often unobtainable goal in furniture repair! After you used the Perfect Brown toner, did you use lacquer as a finish coat? Any problems matching the gloss of the rest of the chair? Thanks for showing us how you do it.
Yes, lacquer over the toner. I haven't had any trouble matching sheen. I eye-ball it and it's normally correct. If it's too glossy, you can dull it down with steel wool and if you need to go glossier, just put on a coat with a higher sheen. Thanks for watching.
Thanks. I love mine, but they have drawn blood once or twice when I wasn't paying as much attention as I should have! Thanks for watching and your video on the broken mirror frame was nothing short of spectacular!

Thanks for all the information you share, was wondering the technique you use for touch ups with the powder dyes and Lacquer Aerosols would this work with a clear shellac on older pieces? thanks John
Yes, as long as your pigments are soluble in the shellac, which these are. You can also pre-mix the pigment and shellac and "paint" it on, if that works better for your application. Good luck.
Need to start the drill on one side of the brace, go half way, then drill the hole through from the other side. Pretty standard stuff. Surprised he didn't use the simple technique.
you won't believe this, but today I picked up a little table very very decorated and peculiar and drove 300 kms safely and super carefully home but as I was taking it out of the car, I broke a leg, it is semidetached.... I have no idea how it's still attached and I wanted to jump in the nearby lake, cos I was so desperate... I was thinking of asking you for help and you uploaded just what I needed....for tonight I didn't say anything and just pretended everything is fine .... Tomorrow I'll try to fix it up....... what kind of glue is best, it's hard wood. thanks from Italy :) if I don't fix this I will have to divorce, cos my lovely spouse tried to convince me not to take home personally the table...
Don't feel bad, stuff happens. I used regular wood glue, classified as PVA glue. I use Titebond brand but you can use whatever you can get a hold of where you live. Clean the surfaces well, use glue on both sides, take your time lining it up and clamp it as tightly as you can. Leave it overnight (despite what others may say). You'll surprise yourself how well it will come out. Good luck!
Also, if you find the joint is slipping around, you can use some table salt like a grit on the glue. It will keep it from sliding around as you clamp and it dissolves into the water based glue. A neat little trick that does work.
yes stuff happens.... to people like me who did not want to be helped.... :( I feel so stupid I could have asked for help or just don't take it out of the car, as I saw it was too heavy for me alone ... However thanks very much, Hope it works and nobody notices
I like your commentary even if it's material covered in a previous video. I need the reinforcement. New viewers might be watching for the first time and not know you are repeating yourself. I give, music has to go ... bring back your vocal chords.

Thank you. I have a shatter to fix almost comparable to yours. I now feel a bit more confident about repair it.
This is seriously my zen...I could watch you do this all day. Thanks for the videos.
I like your description of various finishes used, and how you go about repairing furniture and finish.
Thank you.

Great tip. My windage was a bit off on that one, but luckily it worked out ok. Thanks for watching.

Yes, you never know what problems you will find. Thanks for watching.
Awesome job on a fix I would have given no chance.
Excellent result, can't even tell where the damage was.
Thank you.
Wow can’t tell where it was even broke to begin with... but of course your repairs always look that way!

Good Job !! Japanese pull saws are the best! I use mine all the time !
Thanks. I love mine, but they have drawn blood once or twice when I wasn't paying as much attention as I should have! Thanks for watching and your video on the broken mirror frame was nothing short of spectacular!
Turned out great, you'd never know it was broken in the first place.
Thank you.
Will a heat gun soften PVA glue?
Yes. Just make sure you don't get it hot enough to damage the finish, unless you are taking it off, anyway.
I enjoy your videos, but I prefer your narrative style.

music is ok for me :)
I like this kind of music very much
Great job :D
