I’m enjoying your videos. They are instructive and entertaining to a ‘general’ woodworker (in Scotland) who occasionally gets a ‘can you fix this’ request. I would like to see some short (15 minute) videos on specific topics (clamping / splines / colour matching etc.) as well as the ones where we see the repair of a complete piece. Thanks for your efforts.

I learn so much from you. I would not have thought that the rocker could have been saved, what a technique and having the right tools to fix it.I love it and so will the owner.

Suggestion for cleaning out screw slots: I collect antique firearms. I have a cheap set of Dental Picks that I use to clean out screw slots that have 100+ years of oils and grime.

@@FixingFurniture Recently at our shop, we had occasion to use a variation of your technique. A customer brought in a very old rocker had been left on a floor register (you remember, the kind that left waffle imprints on the soles of your bare feet if you carelessly stepped on it in the wintertime?). The bottoms of rockers were badly charred, and it looked like we'd have to replace them. But first we removed the rockers and, using a jig on our table saw, made a straight cut to slice off the burned portion of each. New wood was glued, clamped, and shaped, then the rockers were reattached. We were able to save about 75% of the original rockers, much to our customer's amazement. It also took less time than trying fit new ones, and the repair actually made the rockers stronger. Thank you again for sharing this technique.

This is the video I have been searching for. I have three of these type of rockers to fix! Family heirlooms of course. The one that worries me is the one that has a broken (and very thin) spindle. Like yours here it is between two stretchers. I believe means I will have to take that rocker apart, separate it from the stretchers, replace with a new spindle and put it back together. Until today I wasn't sure if that was the best way. But now I think it is. Thanks!

@FixingFurniture

Yes, you will need to take the rocker apart. There are 2 ways to make replacement spindles, depending on the diameter. You can use a spokeshave or a lathe. Here are videos on making replacement parts for each method: Spokeshave route - kzread.info/dash/bejne/a2aYx7hpYci9drg.html Lathe route - kzread.info/dash/bejne/m4ej2reoqa2qnZM.html

Brilliant work. A few thoughts... 1. You may want to start using a scribe for precise work. On the ship, I would use them to chase threads that got painted. If you use a decent one, it's sturdy enough to put some oompf behind, but still sharp enough to get where you need them. Might be a good alternative for cleaning out slots in the heads of screws - push it in the middle to break the paint, then from the sides to clear out the waste. Also helps for pushing around small bits like that splinter you glued back down. 2. Best way I've found to remove broken screws is to grab a dremmel and carve a cross in the top, then use a screwdriver to back it out.

Brilliant repair of that heirloom, Scott. I wonder if it might be a proactive idea to replace the screw in the other rocker with a dowel to prevent a similar fracture?

Outstanding repair. Great tip on aligning the new rocker dowel. I would have used a drill press for the hole in the rocker. I thought you would have modified the other rocker as insurance against future failure. While you didn't alter the original finish, did you clean the old dirt off? That would have been acceptable?

@FixingFurniture

3 жыл бұрын

I didn't alter the existing rocker as in my mind, it was a 30% chance it might break and my preference is to do as little alteration to an antique as possible. The finish was very old so I avoided cleaning it as the cleaners may have damaged some of the uniqueness of the crackled finish as shown in the close ups. Again, this was a judgement call, but one I made conservatively to preserve the rocking chair. Cheers. Scott

Amen for slotted screws.

Hi, could you tell me what the adherence difference is between hide glue and pva glue please? Also what is your opinion on using fluted dowels compared to flat dowels?

Great job and attention to detail. Question: my rocking chair has one split runner, but the split is perpendicular through the runner (through the engrain at the screw hole), but along the grain. The length of the split is about 8 inches. Do you think that gluing the 2 pieces and inserting a screw through the runner at an angle (to provide maximum penetration on both sides of the split) would work? I do not have the skills of tools to try your ingenious solution. The alternative seems to me to be to buy new runners.

Nice repair. You might find that your drawknife is more effective if you you skew it and slice rather than just planing perpendicular to the grain. I like your space-saving shavehorse. It is telling that this chair which is joined with mortise and tenons is relatively strong even after one-hundred years. In contrast, many of the chairs brought to you for repair are built with doweled joints and are already loose sometimes after just a couple of years. In general, dowels in joints originally were intended to locate pieces relative to one another, not to provide the joint's primary structural integrity. For example, a large table top made from several long boards joined together might have been doweled to insure the boards lined-up; once glued, the long-grain-to-long-grain joint between the boards provided the strength, not the dowels. A doweled joint perpendicular to the grain is essentially long-grain-to-end-grain: the dowel is long-grain; the inside of the mating hole is essentially all end-grain. In contrast, the flat sides of a tenon have broad areas of end-grain that mate to similarly sized long-grain in the mortise, and the resulting glue joint is exceptionally strong. Structurally, the mortise and tenon is significantly stronger and can more effectively resist the stresses a chair undergoes. Of course, drilling a couple of holes and gluing in dowels is much quicker and cheaper in mass production which is why it is so prevalent these days. It's disheartening to see so much cheaply made furniture from the Far East these days. What's more annoying is that people who buy such furniture expect it to hold up over time just because it resembles a quality piece built by a highly-skilled craftsman. And then they may be indignant when their junky piece of furniture fails again after a repair blaming the repairperson for shoddy work rather than recognizing the inferior quality of the piece is the source of the problem. To quote John Ruskin, It's unwise to pay too much, but it's worse to pay too little. When you pay too much, you lose a little money - that's all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot - it can't be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.”

Excellent rocker solution, awesome repair. In retrospect, do you think you could have cut the rocker insert closer to size and skipped the draw knife? Or, if there is more of a pronounced round over to the rocker profile than appeared on video, it still seems perhaps the spokeshave alone would still be sufficient and offer more control?

@FixingFurniture

2 жыл бұрын

Hi Tom. Good question. For me, it's about efficient use of time. I could try to trim the inserted piece in the rocker closer using a bandsaw, but I would still have to work down the curved profile by hand. It's just as easy for me to use the draw knife to rough out the shape since I have my shave horse setup. And yes, I could have worked it down just with a spokeshave, but it would have taken a lot of time to remove material. As with many woodworking projects, there are different ways you can approach the work. I hope that helps. Scott

Really interesting and well done repair. You frequently mention that screws don't work well in furniture. Two places on this chair supported your claim; the seat expansion and the broken rocker. What glue did you use on the rocket to hold it together while it was in the jig before you cut the dado?

Another way of removing a broken screw that you might want to keep in mind is to use a edge file or rotary cutter to make a slot in the metal, then use a screw driver to get it screw out. This can be a harder method if the screw is small...

✌

you should have kept the some ridges at bottom of the restored curved piece like how it is on the other one. that way the recovered piece won't slide or slip while the other one has some grip on ground.

You can get hollow ground flat bit screwdrivers, or just individual bits, at a gunsmith supply house that will apply force to the bottom of the screw slot instead of at the top of the screw. This type of screwdriver will save the heads of old screws.

@@FixingFurniture I was thinking a wider bit would give more gripping power to the screw. I will have to try the heating method. I have also used screw extractors with success. Well done!

When you showed the break on the rocker (13:32), did you notice how the grain was oriented (the rays were horizontal). That probably helped contribute to the reason the wood failed at the screw point. If it had been oriented 90 degrees (like you would when making an axe handle), it might have been less likely to snap, even though the chair maker compromised 50% of rocker's integrity by drilling it to accommodate the screw head.

Scott, at 24:24 a band sander would be of help to shape that curve.
