Bad Furniture Repair and How to Fix It - Woodworking Restoration
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 тра 2024
- Please don’t repair a piece of furniture without knowing how to fix it properly. This bad furniture repair took more time to fix that it would have the first time. See how to undo this bad furniture repair and learn how to fix it the right way. If you don’t, you could permanently ruin the furniture so it can’t be repaired and the parts would have to be replaced.
Welcome to the workshop of Wooden It Be Nice, where we repair furniture. We’re sharing the trade secrets of how we work to help build a community about furniture repairs. This is a disappearing skill and it can help build local businesses that can’t be served any other way than by local experts.

Watch Scott take apart this bad furniture repair - a chair with a broken chair leg that was poorly repaired. The chair leg was held in place with some construction adhesive and brad nails. It might have looked like it was strong enough, but chairs get pushing use, and this didn’t stand up. Because chairs have a lot of shifting wight on them, they’re stressed and can sometimes fail. This bad repair was done by someone who didn’t take the time to learn how to do it the right way (i.e., look it up on UA-cam and find someone who can show you how to fix it).
The first step is to gently take apart the furniture parts. This wasn’t easy given how it was put together, but the best tool to help take furniture apart is the spreader clamp. These gently put pressure on the parts to release the joints. Here’s a link if you’re looking to buy some - amzn.to/3bFv0Pz
The next step is to clean all the old glue off the parts because we need bare wood for wood glue to work properly. Once the parts are cleaned up, it’s a matter of test fitting the parts to ensure there’s a good fit before applying the glue and clamps. In this repair, there were some wood fibres that needed to be aligned to get the best possible fit. When choosing a glue, you need the right glue for the job. Scott uses 6 different glues (see video link above for more detail) in the workshop and for this project, he chose wood glue and epoxy.
Once the piece is put back together, you may have holes or cracks that need to be filled and stained. Wax sticks and stain markers are easy to use as long as you match them appropriately. See the techniques Scott uses to make all this happen.

Great video! I'm Dag from Bodø, Norway. What I really appreciate about your videos are your very good and thorough narrative, the quality of the camera-work with razor-sharp close-ups, and the clean audio track without any annoying background noises or music during your commentary sessions. I have just recently taken up some woodworking repairs myself, and have highly valued the excellent instructions provided in your videos. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing that Dag. I appreciate the detailed feedback. I also find it encouraging to produce more videos when I hear viewers are making use of the skills we share. You made my day today Dag! Thank you! Scott
Do I have a broken chair? No. Do I fix broken chairs regularly? No. Do I anticipate ever needing this skill? No. And yet here I am watching this video with great intrigue.
Like me, you appreciate that the only thing more satisfying than properly fixing broken or damaged furniture is WATCHING someone competent doing it. 😊
Very pleasant, thorough instruction.
His voice is like the Bob Ross of furniture repair. Was waiting to hear him say something about "happy little chair legs".
I was thinking the exact same thing!
Lol I love your comment, his voice is so soothing.
Brit here, watching from the USA. I love the quiet precision of your instructions, and lack of background music or attempts to be funny. I like a person who presents nice clear lesson without gimmicks, and you are he. Thank you very much. I'm now watching for pleasure, beyond necessity.
A quick tip for reinforcing the fracture due to weak grain structure.
Once you've made the repair to the leg, bore a hole from the top (the style of leg will dictate what diameter and how deep) and glue and insert a dowel into the hole. I typically I prefer a 3/4" oak or maple dowel. This ties the broken pieces together with more of the good meat of the leg, and gives the screw something more to grab into.
Keep up the good work.
I like to watch Thomas Johnson Antique repair. The guy is a master.
I agree
Tom Johnson is on my subscribed list as well. Watching from Australia. 🇦🇺
I'm obsessed with Tom Johnson. Not even from this planet
Everything about his presentation is great. Love the short relaxing bits to start and the videos.
He has a great manner about him but as a furniture restorer he isn't that great, I certainly wouldn't call him a master.
I am from Dakabin, just about 35 Km north of Brisbane Australia. Thank you so much, (I have today Watching you) used my 92 year old hands to successfully repair a carver chair that has been waiting 15 years for attention. In time for my wife to use after her knee replacement, which needs a strong chair. Good on yer!
Thanks for sharing that Terry. Great to hear about your successful repair. Best wishes to your wife in her recovery. Scott
🇺🇸 USA in Arizona here. I feel like your channel (which I discovered because I was trying to figure out what the original finish was on a cedar chest I'm restoring) is one of the most helpful, informative channels I've found.
I love that you walk viewers through the whole process, start to finish. I feel far more prepared for my cedar chest restoration AND a few of my chair projects.
Brazil here. Recently quit my job to start learning something new that doesn't destroy my soul, and I've found that repair work is just amazing. I'm really considering trying to start a small business with home repairs (furniture, electric, the works). These kinds of videos are really nice to get ideas of how to work on many different things.
I also like watching Thomas Johnson Furniture restoration in Gorham, Maine
I love this channel. You can tell he really cares about what he does. Love Thomas Johnson antique furniture restoration, in Gorham Maine. Lol
Me too...!
I love Thomas Johnson’s channel as well. I too am from Maine. Portland.
Was going to say Thomas's channel nalzo..
It looks pretty good!
I am from Tennessee in the United States. I watch Thomas Johnson Restoration, Fred's Furniture Repair, and you.
Thanks for sharing that. Tom and I did a video together about glue for furniture repair. Here's the link if you're interested. Scott. ua-cam.com/video/qK0IR8WT_jE/v-deo.html
I just found this channel and I love it!! Something about watching someone repair furniture is so soothing to me. Thanks.
I'm from Vermont. I also watch Thomas Johnson's and Dashner Design's channels. You do a very good job with your videos. Whenever you post I make sure to watch. Also enjoy your Home Improvement Woodworking channel. Perfect length and content. I have learned a lot.
Thanks for your comments David and thanks for being a subscriber. I just started watching Dashner Designs this afternoon after some viewers mentioning the channel. It makes me happy to hear our videos are helpful for you. Scott
Sir, thank you for teaching repairs! Your voice is very calm. I enjoy listening to your videos!
Olli Makkonen here. born a Finn, living in retirement in the wonderful Indonesia. Your work and the attention to fine detail accompanied by brilliant camera work makes watching your video's a pleasure. Keep up the god work.
Hello from the UK. I regularly watch Thomas Johnson Antique Furniture Restoration, Paul Sellers, Rob Cosman, Gid Joiner, New Yorkshire Workshop etc.
Thanks for sharing that. Tom and I did a video together about glue for furniture repair. Here's the link if you're interested. Scott. ua-cam.com/video/qK0IR8WT_jE/v-deo.html
Hi I'm from south Africa 🇿🇦 and I was brought here through a youtube recommendation 👌
That's great! Thanks for sharing where you're from! Scott 🇨🇦
Watching from Spain 🇪🇸. I watch many videos of “My mechanics” youtube channel (restoration) may be that’s why this was in my recommended. 👍🏼
I’m from the USA. This is the first repair channel I’ve come across.
I'm from America 🇺🇸 your the only furniture repair person I watch, I mostly watch wood working videos.
I'm from Iraq🇮🇶
I love DIY crafts there is no specific type of channel I watch
Greetings from the Netherlands 🇱🇺, thanks for the great videos! This is the first time I watch furniture repairs, normally I watch woodworking and wooden boat building.
Goedendag! Thanks for commenting from the Netherlands... I'm half Dutch and had a chance to visit there a few years ago. There's a lot you can learn about woodworking from doing furniture repairs so I hope you'll check out more of our videos and subscribe. Thanks. Scott
North Carolina 🇺🇸 We have a long furniture making history here. Enjoy your channel
Very cool! I've vacationed in North Carolina but I didn't know about the furniture making history. Maybe I should visit again. Scott 🇨🇦
United States here
Tom Johnson furniture restoration is another channel I watch.
Great work on the leg!
Thank you. Yes, Tom does some great work. Here's a video we did together about types of glue for furniture repair. Scott. ua-cam.com/video/qK0IR8WT_jE/v-deo.html
Belgium here! 🇧🇪 Just recently found your channel and I realy like your video’s! Your voice has this Bob Ross vibe to it, it’s very pleasant to listen to.
Thank you. You're the first person to comment from Belgium. Good work figuring out how to put your flag in the comments! Scott
wow you made it clear to me who his voice was so much a like 🤗
Greetings from Finland. I'm not sure what algorythms brought me here, but I always appericiate a well made video on woodworking. I'm a Master of Craft in Restoration (carpentry and joinery, building restoration) and Oltermann/chairman of the Finnish National Guild of Restoration. Have to say this was a nicely done repair, and a truly well made presentation.
I'm from Seattle, WA. This is the only repair channel I watch. I do watch furniture construction websites such as Rob Cosman, Paul Sellers, and Stumpy Nuber.
Love your softly-spoken voice and lack of blatant self-promotion. At 68-yo, I've just started getting interested in wood-working. Greetings from Sunshine Coast (just north of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia).
I'm from Pennsylvania and have been doing repairs all my life. It's nice to see somebody doing this and showing a whole generation how to fix things. Keep up the good work! Tom
Hungary youtube recommendation mostly because I watch other channels like Diresta, John Malecki.
Let me tell you man, that in my opinion you are the Bob Ross of furniture repair.... came for the repair and stayed because of the calmness and peace...
Have a nice one and stay safe!
He is The Repair Whisperer
I really enjoy your detailed explainations, it allows me to know why you are doing a specific method of repair. Great video!
Just found this channel. Usually watch woodworking channels but found this interesting and helpful. Everyone makes mistakes in building and repairs happen. Found it interesting that you didn't trash talk that previous repair that was obviously a train wreck.
Watching from Poland 🇵🇱 , it is always nice to watch new channels whose authors shares their knowledge. I learned something new, and would love to learn more about this wood fillers.
Thanks for watching! We have a video planned for wood fillers, likely the 3-4 videos ahead in our schedule. Good work putting in the Polish flag! Scott
I have a small woodworking channel and would like to tell you that I learn a lot from you. I enjoy and learn from every video. Keep the good work
Thank you for your encouraging words, and thank you for subscribing to our channel! Scott
Old lady from the UK and previously from South Africa. Two years after you made this video, but it has only come up on my feed now. Thankfully, the pandemic has passed and we are virtually back to normal. I watch you, Johns Furniture Repairs and Tom Johnson.
Single mom here! 🇺🇸My son has broken one of my favorite white kitchen table chairs twice! Was a cheap “wooden”chair from a big box store but it was all I could afford for a table I restored! I love them too!!! My first repair lasted about a year under some heavy use!! The break is similar to this chair’s and so is the way it is constructed! I’ve been looking for a video just like this!!! Thank you!!!! I’m hoping I can make my second repair last a lot longer with your advice! Hope you got your glasses mended! Blessings on blessings to you and yours!
I am from Germany. Working as a master craftsman in furniture making. designing and producing furnitures. I like to learn about how to they do it in other countries, finding new idears, getting inspiration for new projects
Apeldoorn, the Netherlands: serious chair repair! Neat Job.
Dank u. I'm 1/2 Dutch. Thanks for sharing where you're from! Scott
Phoenix Az, USA. Just came across your channel today. I like to watch, tool restoration, bushcraft, camping, diy car repair, star wars stuff, woodturning, comedy, news, etc. I enjoy a wide variety like a lot of people, lol. 🇺🇸
Just watched this again for the second time and each time I come away feeling that I learned something. at least refreshed my memory anyway. thanks again Scott for taking the time to do these videos.
Glad it was helpful for you! Scott
Esztergom, Hungary☺
I have been watching Thomas Johnson's and Dashner Design's channels. I like this one a great deal, too!
Wow, Hungary! Thanks for posting your comment. I'll have to check out Dashner Designs. Thank you. Scott
@@FixingFurniture Hungary also, I really like what you are doing! :)
I really enjoy Thomas Johnson Antique Furniture Restoration.
He is simply mesmerizing
Thanks for sharing where you're from. Check out this collaboration video I did with Tom about wood glues - ua-cam.com/video/aRYNAlbBDUg/v-deo.html Scott
@@FixingFurniture I will check it out. Found his channel a couple months ago and haven't had the chance to view his entire video collection. Love both of your guy's content!
@@pablorodriguez6318 I could watch him all day!
Lubbock, Texas 🇺🇸 Thank you for all you do. Keep up the good craftsman ship.
I live in EDMONTON and I watch your videos on UA-cam. I sometimes buy a piece of antique furniture and repair and refinish it for my family. I do appreciate all the tips and tricks that you share with the community.
MEXICO/NC USA - was looking how to repair a rocking chair, and so far u r the best videos I have seen. Very detailed n specific. I feel that w ur videos I should be able to repair my chair. Thank u
Thank you for the high complement and thank you for subscribing as well Claudia. To save you some time working through our list of videos, here's one on repairing a rocking chair. I hope that's helpful. Scott
You definitely need to check out Pask Makes. He's a super cool Aussie, an incredible craftsman, and he comes up with tons of ingenious solutions to whatever problems he faces.
I like Pask Makes as well. Have you tried I Like To Make Stuff?
Agree and highly recommend
Yeah! I totally agree, his channel it's one of my favourites :)
@Jeff Freeman , I did - thanks for the recommendation!
Born in South Louisiana, lived most of my adult life in East Texas. Have now moved to the Philippines and am living on a fairly remote island. 2 hour boat ride into Cebu City, the nearest large city. As it is in the US, travel restrictions and restrictions in place, and doubly so for me as I am in my 60's and our rules here keep me fairly close to home.
Enjoy watching your methods, as they mimic my thoughts as well on your methods of repair.
Glad you enjoyed it. Stay safe. Scott
From US. Wisconsin. I am a beginner woodworker so I enjoy learning new things. Thank You for your video.
You're welcome. Furniture repair can teach you a lot more quickly about woodworking than tackling projects one at a time. I hope you find our videos a useful learning tool. Scott
I'm from the UK. Other people have mentioned Thomas Johnson. I haven't seen Dasher Designs yet. I watch Paul Sellers and Wood by Wright. I like some of Rex Kruger too. What you all have in common is that you don't waffle! I'm not interested in whether you got your chair from your grandma 40 years ago. Secondly, you supply commentary, telling people exactly what you are doing Aand why you are doing it. Thirdly, where appropriate, you use close-ups. so that we can see in detail what is going on. Lastly, I'll bet you plan out beforehand how you are going to tackle a particular problem, you don't just make it up as you go along. All of which makes your videos interesting as well as entertaining. I've learned a lot. Keep it up and thanks for posting.
Thank you for the detailed comment Gwyn. I appreciate you sharing the channels you watch and your thoughts on our content approach. I watch the others you mention, except for Rex, but I will check out his work. Thanks for your support! Scott
Take a look at another Canadian Matthias Wandel (Wooden Gears) also.
Thomas Johnson is almost enragingly good at what he does. Sending from Canada and great video!
Yes, he's a talented craftsman, working on his trade since the 1970's. I've been talking to him recently and we have a surprise coming up soon... stay tuned! Thanks for being a subscriber Kyron! Scott
Watching from Oklahoma in the United States. Thank you for your time. I follow Chesters and a number of others.
Thanks for sharing that Thompson! Scott
From Bloemfontein South Africa 🇿🇦. Enjoyed the video. Watching this confirmed that I am doing repairs the right way. Thanks
That's great Paul. Thanks for sharing that. Scott
Houston, Texas, I really enjoyed this video. I have an antique table that has been in my family for decades originally from Scotland or Ireland. It was handed down to my mothers side of the family who is from Ireland. It was passed down to my Poppy ( my mothers father) and then passed down to her. Watching your videos has shown me ways of being more careful with the process. I am not a furniture repairman, I am a construction carpenter. I just started dabbling in furniture repair a couple years ago, and your videos are helping out a lot. Thank you brother for sharing your tips and tricks.
That's such a cool story. I love that our videos are helping you learn the craft of furniture repair and preserving a family treasure! I love it! Thanks. Scott
@@FixingFurniture thank you sir!!
If you are repairing furniture that is antique it is likely to be glued with hide glue, this can be softened in the wood joints by injecting methylated spirits into the joint and then left for a half hour or so. Once the joint has been worked apart clean the old glue away with hot water and a stiff brush which when dry will be ready for re gluing. If you have a choice try to use hide or fish glue for the repair as it will help the next person who works on your antique treasure. I was an antique repair man for 14 years before turning to the Superyacht industry.
Hi
I’m watching for UK
@@pinballrobbie wow thank you so much for that information. I hope to keep this antique in the family for years but if whoever has to repair it I would like them to not have a hassle with it. thanks again
Hi, nice repair. I've been watching Deashner design this year, he's good at veneer repairs and colouring :)
Dashner ... no 'e'
🇭🇲 Australia- sharing your videos with our Repair Cafe community. THANKYOU for your clear & helpful videos.
Great work and great tips, here in Brazil 🇧🇷 we are watching you always!
What is it with Canadians and woodworking? You’re all just so damn good at it!
I’m from Australia 🇦🇺
They're trying to keep the pine trees at bay.
Dude, have seen a picture of Canada that didn’t have a tree in it. No? Nuff said.
They have an over abundance of wood and excessively long winters

Thanks for your comment from South Africa - wow! I'm going to check out the channels you like - the only one I've seen so far is Paul Sellers. Thank you. Scott 🇨🇦
I recently retired from the corporate rat race and moved from Stellenbosch South Africa to Moorreesburg about 100km north of Cape Town in the Swartland. I have a small restoration business and fix and restore all manner of antiques and vintage furniture.
I enjoy watching Thomas Johnson Antique Restoration but am glad I came across your channel. Will definitely follow you too. Unfortunately here in South Africa we aren't fortunate enough to get hold of many of the glues and other products such as stains and polishing compounds that people in North America and Europe take for granted but we make do.

That's great. Thanks for sharing where you're from. Scott
I think you're one of the very best at explaining and demonstrating WHAT you're doing, HOW, and WHY. There are other channels that are fun to watch but nowhere near as instructive as yours. Thanks, Scott!
Thank you. That means a lot. I have a passion for sharing the knowledge of this dying craft and want to empower more people to take it on. I'm glad that is coming through in our videos. Scott 🇨🇦
Hey, fantastic, full and concise vid. Thank you.
I found you as I searched spindle repair, I'm fixing a beech spindle kitchen chair. Different repair required, but, youve got me subscribed. Thank you, stay safe.

Ipoh, Malaysia
Enjoying your video.
Its surprising you couldn't get the 2 pieces leveled up with a mallet strike or two.
I am guessing that if it were a fresh break that would have been possible. Since it was an old, poorly repaired break, people have been sitting on it and crushing the misaligned fibers of wood. It looked to be the case when he showed a close up of the area as he cleaned it up.
preparation....i do several dry runs until its perfect...everything MUST line up....
then when it comes to glue its a breeze......must admit though after someone else has had a go its never any easier!...AUSTRALIA
@FUDDLEYP JONES same here! and i also couldn't understand why he didn't buzz it over with a sander and re oil it or varnish it.
@@mikehoughton5550 I think at that point you're getting into a restoration rather than a repair, which is going to probably double the time (and likely the price) of the job. I assume this is a piece brought in by a customer.
This is the comment I was looking for. I knew that I wasn't the only one that saw it. I think I would have taken the leg completely off and made sure that it all fit together before gluing and clamping. It would probably work as you suggested too. I used to have my own shop in Alaska.
Watching from the UK 🇬🇧. I watch a lot of DIY channels making things from scratch.
I’m Rob from Fort Lauderdale Florida USA. I find you to be extraordinary as you use great sense keeping an eye on the future if you need to repair or someone else does. No cheap shots. You are a patient man. Hats off to you brother.
Seattle, Washington.
The channel closest to yours that I watch is Dashner Design & Restoration.
I'm from Brazil and I was brought here by a youtube recommendation.
Great content, I'm an amateur woodworker in North Carolina, USA. Along with your channel, I really enjoy watching Thomas Johnson Antique Furniture Restoration. He is located in Maine, USA.
Cape Town, South Africa. Thanks for a well explained video without hype and/or loud music.👍
You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed it. Scott
Australia, Paul Sellers, Rex Krueger, Essential Craftsman.
Love the methodical approach and explanation. Still, I couldn't help but notice that the reattached leg is short by about 1/64" of the still-attached leg fragment. You took all that time to clear bent/folded wood fibers that were preventing a mesh between the two pieces, but you applied no apparent pressure from below (mallet or long clamp to bottom of leg?) to close the joint before clamping laterally. Did I miss something?
I think you did miss where he gave the top of the leg a few taps with a mallet before clamping, good point though. Viewing in Australia
I saw the same issue and after the chair was finished it was very apparent the leg needed to be clamped or pounded together. Those interlocking fibers would give it more lateral resistance if they were bonded with glue and forced together.
He actually addressed all those issues.
England 🇬🇧 I love to watch Thomas Johnson Antique Furniture Repair. I enjoyed this repair video too, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it. Yes, Tom is a great Pro! Cheers. Scott 🇨🇦
USA-California. I found you via Angie of Transcend Furniture. Love your shows and am learning a lot. I recently removed some brads while repurposing some walnut-veneered plywood and just verified that my solution for the ones that wouldn't come out matched yours, which is a little confidence builder for me! I like to repair things more than my husband does and I just love finding experts & innovative craftspeople on UA-cam!
I know what happened here: "Darling, will you take that chair to a repair shop?" - "No way! I can fix it myself"'. And I am from Russia
A Russian would probably know how to work with wood. Plus they would actually know how to fix things. Probably a chubby hubby from the American midwest, that has seen one DIY UA-cam video too many.

Canadian! Giveaways---accent & Robertson screws
I don't hear any accent. Niagara on the lake, Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
I’m from Kitchener but moved south about 15 years ago.
It bugged me that the tops of the two pieces were badly misaligned even after you 'cleaned them up'. ua-cam.com/video/wRk27aEkmyE/v-deo.html It's been mentioned in the comments that a few mallet taps may have been in order.
On the bright side, he's got a calm and clear voice :-)
I've had to do that at times, usually preceded by removing the remaining bits of the leg from the chair, or table, completely, repairing the leg separately, then re-attaching to the frame of the chair or table.
Watching from Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦.
Enjoyed this session, thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it! Nice to hear from a fellow Ontario resident! Thanks. Scott
Greetings from Northern California! First time watching a video of yours, but will seek out more of them soon as you are a valuable resource for skillful instruction.
Denmark: And we don't use nails in our chairs. Period!
Germany or in German: Deutschland 🇩🇪
ditto. There are no such useful channels in german dealing with that topic. Same goes with woodworking in general. But maybe it's just me with my preference to western style handtools. ;)
Oh, I forgot: Matt Estlea and Ishitani Furniture. But they are more the creators, not the repair guys. Matt is more into hand tools, Ishitani is - oh come on, you know him. ;)
@@AlBorland3877 not true, have a try with anti greef ua-cam.com/users/tracheide2
Also from Germany
Loved this! New techniques, new tools. Thanks for not yelling.
A new post to an old video, but I’m from Australia and many thanks for your really excellent videos. You have taught me much already as I’ve just found your channel, but they’re completely worthwhile, so again thank you 🇦🇺
No need brah, I’m a pro at “how not to repair” most things.
Could I do a better job? No, and I wouldn't even try.
But the question is: Will It Blend?
Hi, Mike from England here, your videos are great and very informative👍
From Portland, Oregon
This is very helpful :) thank you!!!
Glad it was helpful! Cheers. Scott
Hi Scott. I'm here in the UK, first came across your site when you did the joint video with Thomas Johnson. Many thanks for all your good work, please them coming.
Watching from Adelaide South Australia. 🇦🇺 This is the first video I have watched of yours and I really enjoyed it. I watch Thomas Johnson Antique Furniture as furniture repair is a passion of mine and he is amazing at what he does.
I'm glad you found our UA-cam channel. I enjoy watching Tom's videos too and he's in one of our videos about glue. I hope you subscribe and enjoy more of our videos. Cheers. Scott
I;m from Northern Ireland have just started watching your videos they are great very helpful tips cheers
Amazing restoration work done! enjoy watching it! 👍
