    This tiny chair had a broken leg. Trena inserts a spline and repairs some weaving as well. Hopefully it makes a little girl very happy!

    1/16/22; just watched another interesting repair on a child's woven cane high back chair. Broken leg spline insert repair was impressive! I thought, from camera view, frame legs were hollow steam-bent, bamboo, but later saw frame was solid steam-bent wood. Great job drilling-out mortise area for spline-tenon reinforcement. Now painting, can't believe you brushed it...3x ! Kinda thought a very close air blast would fully encircle those 'millions' of little round cane strings...then wondered if some kind of submerged process might give the total 3D wrap-around coverage on all those 'millions' of cane strings. But you patiently pushed your paint brush bristles into those cracks/spaces between each cane string! How many paint brushes did that take? I saw 2 different brushes, white at the start, then you were using a dark long tip at the end as your voice over said ...3 coats...! Your results were fantastic! 👀😳😲😁👍👍👍🍷

      well, I didn't want to get latex in the gun, its a big mess. It really wasn't too bad of a job. I switched to a longer cone type brush as it got into the weave a little better than the chip brush. I don't know of anyone who has a huge vat of pink paint to dip chairs into, lol, what on earth would you do with the rest of it and oh my the drips and runs would be a mess. thanks for watching though. cheers!

    What a delightful job. I wasn’t sure on the choice of the brush, but now I see. You don’t wanna lose the delineation between any darkness in between the cane. Otherwise it just looks like a solid pink chair with no depth. I think the choice of just adding some TLC to the seat was perfect as well. It tells a story all of its own on the age of it.

      when you are cutting thin or small pieces on the table saw a zero clearance plate helps support the small piece as much as possible to avoid the blade tipping and throwing it. otherwise the table saw is not a safe tool for small pieces

    Beautiful work on both structure and detail. 2 questions: 1. Is a single type of TimberMate wood filler, which is advertised to be stainable, usable for all woods and stains, or do you need to use different types for various woods and stains? 2. What is the dark, gel-consistency, epoxy that you use, and is a single color of it usable for all woods and stains? You may have addressed these 2 questions in a previous UA-cam. If so, please refer me to it.

    • @johnsfurniturerepair
      @johnsfurniturerepair  2 роки тому +1

      Hi Danny. I use the water based timbermate putty and I try to pick a color that matches the color of stain that I’m going with, not the wood I’m working with. It is stainable but I always find it needs a little touchup. I use west system epoxies, they don’t take stain but they do take acetone based toners or acetone based pens. You can color your epoxy with the sawdust from the project your working on but it also usually needs fine tuning. Cheers!

    You make this stuff look so easy! I think it’s interesting that you use a ball peen hammer for woodworking! I have a similar sized one that belonged to my grandfather, and I’ve used it for years in my wood-shop. There’s always this thought in the back of my mind that I’m violating some longstanding rule of the Mortice, Tenon & Marching Society by using it, but I throw caution to the fore winds and soldier on! Ha! I also find solace in knowing that Dave Engels of Engels Coach Shop (a UA-cam channel that every woodworker should be aware of) uses one frequently! Lastly, while we’re covering strange and unusual practices, you have the first lathe I’ve ever seen that is operated with the headstock on the right side! Am I becoming dyslexic, or does it actually run like that? Thanks for another interesting episode! I’ll shut up now!
