The builders BROKE the chair! / 1930-s chair repair

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Some years ago I restored this chair, but the client brought it back to me for repair, because his home builders accidentally broke the legs. This chair type was very common here in Estonia through 1920-1930. Its made of oak and the backrest is made of plywood and walnut veneer. Usually there is set of 6 chairs and a extendable table. After 1940 they started to use cheaper materials and also the design was simplyfied.

    I am not a builder or carpenter. I watch these because workmanship is something I can very much appreciate. So, please excuse my ignorance on the subject when I ask, "Why make a template of the piece if only one needed made? Why not just mark out the new wood straight from the old piece?" I would love to be educated here. Thanks! 😊

    Hi - Late reply but maybe you are still interested. In a previous video, he showed that the template is used as a guide that runs along the router bearing as the bit cuts the shape in the new wood. Perhaps you are asking why not just make the new wood the same way he is making the template? It seems it is easier to shape the thinner template and cheaper in case of a mistake; the new wood is often thicker and more expensive and perhaps less risky to cut with the longer router bit using the template as the predetermined guide.
