@@FixingFurniture I also like to use 10ml syringes for this. You can use different size tips depending on the size of the crack. I get them on Amazon or Ebay in bulk and they are very cheap. The glue doesn't dry out in the syringe either so you can just keep using the syringe over and over!

Well Scott once again you've proved you're never to old to learn (77here) I loved your idea with the string. been glueing stuff for over 40 yrs and never knew that one.! thank you for showing it to us/me, and better yet thanks for sharing!
The string tip? Brilliant. Thanks for a simple, straightforward video - much appreciated. I restore antiques for several of the auction houses here in ireland - I’m getting furniture more frequently, and it’s great to pick up a few more tricks along the way. Today? I bought myself a present at auction, and am about to tackle repairing a long crack in the door panel of a 17th century Flemish carved cupboard. It’s a beast of a thing, and I can’t wait to get it back together again. Wish me luck!
I love this video! I have a fractured bottom drawer support (lengthwise). So I'm going to try turning it upside down and glueing it (wood glue or Elmer's glue good?) Do I have to clamp it, because I don't know if I'll have any space to do that? Suggestions appreciated. Just got this second hand piece and it was dropped. I was stuck on how to fix it and just today realized--hey, glue it! Thx.
Thank to you I've been able to fix a cracked door. It felt so good that I went looking around the house for more stuff to fix. Thank you very much for your tip and clear explanation.
Thank you for this. I've been working on an antique dry sink awhile and have become frustrated. I'm going back to square one and doing it the correct way!!
I've learned so much from your videos already, thank you! Would love to see a repair tutorial on freestanding bookshelf with broken back joints. I can't seem to find one anywhere on YT
OH MY GOODNESS! I have my great grandfather's rolltop desk and chair. The chair has the same as what you show in this video! The desk is a single pedestal roll top desk purchased through Sears and Roebuck. Your video on hiding treasures looks very much like it and that video will do fantastic! The desk needs to be raised so I can put casters on the chair. I guess people are taller now. Thank you!!!
I know that you made a tutorial on different types of glue to use (vinyl versus hyde (hide) versus epoxy). Recently I have been using the water-activated Gorilla epoxy glue which is purported to expand about 3x when activated. In a case where I clean up the old glue but still have a few small gaps, even those I cannot see once dry-fitted but that I know are present internally because as, in your case with the door, the manufacturer did not make a completely tight-fitting joint, this type of glue has proven to be very useful. So my 'instinct' upon watching the cabinet door repair, would have been do do it exactly as you showed here but with the epoxy (expanding) glue and very tight clamping instead of wood glue. BTW, I like the string idea as I would have used a syringe. Curious as to your thoughts.
Hi David. The water-activated glue is polyurethane. Here's video where I discuss what I suggest not using this type of glue for furniture repairs ua-cam.com/video/iZpvO9_N560/v-deo.html
Brilliant video. How would you go about fixing a crack on a dining table top if the crack is not open enough to get any glue in it. Any advice appreciated.
Great video!! Love the string idea. But was wondering if you have a video on how to fix a hairline crack or what can I do or use? Thank you for you time.
Hello scott, very good tips. I'm not a woodworker, but in this pandemic times, we need to repair our furniture in home. Thank you for te help. Nelson from Sao Paulo city in Brazil.
Furniture Forensics is more like it. :) I'm really enjoying your videos and have definitely learned a lot. One of those things is... I don't have as much patience as you do!
That trick with the string is a good idea, I may try that. What I used to do was use copious amounts of yellow glue and relied on gravity to get the glue into place, along with a thin object like a coffee stirrer to spread it around. Then I came across some larger hypodermic needles, and syringes, and started injecting the glue into the cracks, it works really well with loose veneer, and I think I fixed a table leg cracked in the very same way. The only thing to remember though is that the glue will keep coming out if you don't pull back on the plunger, there is a lot of pressure there where the glue comes out of the needle end. Clamping it was the tricky part, I had to use bar clamps in two or three directions to get the pieces to line up, I have heard that automotive hose clamps can help with round objects though.
Thanks for the suggestion for syringes. I just picked some up but haven't tried them out yet. Our business is temporarily closed as our province is under a state of emergency due to COVID. Once our doors reopen, I'll be sure to try them out. Scott
Hi Justin. For this type of project you want to use a PVA glue (aka yellow glue/carpenter's glue). My favourite brand is Lee Valley Tools. Cheers. Scott
I just dropped one of the rails on my snooker table I'm refinishing and cracked (that's why I'm here) the one end. About 5 inches long. I see the straw trick but even that might be to thick. How do I get the glue all the way down into the crack. If I spread it apart it might open 1/32 of inch MAX Glue recommendation?
I have been asked to repair an antique blanket chest with a huge (5/16) split in the top that diminishes to a shredding point over an inch away from the other edge. Do I fill it in or remove the top, glue it with epoxy and try to clamp it back together?
I would try and clamp it without any glue to see if it will come back together again. If it does, you can use PVA glue on it. If it doesn't, you have 2 choices, epoxy and filler as you suggest or run the top through the table saw to cut out the split and glue it back together again. I hope that helps. Scott 🇨🇦
How would I fix an old chair that has dovetail joints where one of them came apart at the seat area? Doing some research it looks like it's a1905 Northwind chair

My old French Provincial dresser is split across the top from side to side. I tried to use wood fill for it but now I guess it's only masking the crack. Can it be repaired without taking it all apart? That could be expensive! (Feeling a sense of dread.) Ugh.
Different glues have different advantages and disadvantages. Here's a video that discussed types of glue so you can choose the right one for your project ua-cam.com/video/aRYNAlbBDUg/v-deo.html
I was expecting some dowels or biscuits to be used on the seat repair. Found it strange that you didn’t 🤔, but I guess that’s the difference between one craftsman from another. Great work done on the door, enjoyed watching that fix. Thx.
When the grain in wood is glued properly, it is stronger than the wood fibres, therefore there's not need for additional reinforcement. My next video is about glues and I show the breaking of wood joints to prove that point.
@@FixingFurniture I thought the same thing as Dizzyish. Is there a downside to adding dowels? I mean, to me, it would seem to be beneficial to holding the pieces together and give it a little more strength.
@@aquill1 you can add dowels, but it won’t add strength if it’s glued properly. The downside might be misalignment of parts if not done accurately. Scott
Yes, a side rail can be glued together this way, but unless there was a major load that caused the break, I would suggest the wood is too weak for a bed. I've seen this multiple times where repairing the broken wood holds, but the wood fails again in a different spot. Does that help? Scott
Have you ever seen a joint that someone glued with Rubber Cement😔 how do I clean those joints free of the rubber cement and another wood glue. It looks like it has been “repaired” twice. I need to clean those joints. Is plain lye the same as caustic lye, and if I use that, will it leave a residue on the wood preventing the carpenters glue from adhering. .
There are two ways to fix that, depending on if it's a dent or part of the wood has been scraped away. If it's a dent, it can be fixed with a damp cloth on the spot, then applying a hot iron. The steam will force the wood fibres to expand. If it's a scrape in the wood, you can either patch in a piece of wood (difficult) or apply wood filler and stain and grain it to match (also difficult). Does that help? Scott
@@josephzinsman7203 sure but I don't post it in comments (to prevent spam). Go to my channel, and click on About. There's a link there you can use to email me. Scott
Typically you want to use a PVA glue, also known as yellow glue or carpenter's glue. I have a video that shows the 6 different types of glue I use in my workshop of you're interested. Scott
There are a few typical ways people start. I started from a lifelong passion for woodworking. Other people get into it from refinishing pieces. Those are both the base skillsets for repairs.

A mentor also helps - I have. a mentor for furniture finishing who helps me solve the tough challenges. Does that help?
It would be nice if they would have stuck to using wood with a parallel grain for turning legs, diagonal grain always creates a weak spot, but this is typical of factory built furniture.

As to Scott’s repair methods, while I haven’t watched every vid he’s ever posted, so far I have no problem with what he’s showing us. It’s just good, sound, basic repair information. I’m not being fooled by anyone, him or you. Of course that’s just my opinion.

Unfortunately the paint stripper would have damaged the finish, creating a bigger problem. Also, furniture stripper needs to be rinsed off so it won't interfere with finishes and adhesives.

Unfortunately the paint stripper would have damaged the finish, creating a bigger problem. Also, furniture stripper needs to be rinsed off so it won't interfere with finishes and adhesives.
