The clothspin tip is a definite keeper. Putting a couple in my tool tray tomorrow. Thanks

DPR - Dreaded Prior Repair I have several eggbeater drills that I use regularly. I call them my cordless, reversible, adjustable torque, instant stop, and never need recharging drills.

More great information and another useful fixture idea. Thanks

nice repair on a previously resurrected lamp

Nice video. Reminds us of the proper application of power tools and when hand operated is better.

You missed a perfect opportunity to describe your clothespin as a nonmarring lamp pipe clamp. Fun fact: clothespin in Finnish is pyykkipoika, which literally translates to "laundry boy".

Where do you buy your clamps? Would Home Depot have them? Where can I buy the wrap around for the furniture piece? Where it wouldn’t mark up the furniture?😊

Very nicely done. I never knew the difference with the wire connection. Appreciate you sharing your knowledge.

Good job

Thanks for another interesting history lesson on lamps.

Same, Thanks, Where do you get the threaded socket. I only see the slip on at the local box stores.

I am just leaving a comment so it helps you algorithm

Very nicely done! You definitely caught my attention at 1:37. For a quick moment I thought it may have been a piece from my grandfather’s shop.

Thank you again.

Bron - Thank you! Two takeaways - the dowel tenon and the drill press jig. Question: what are you using on the lathe for the tenon - spur bit or a clamp style to hold the dowel as you turn?

Interesting and instructional. Thank You

You are still teaching some old dogs new tricks, sir. I agree with you about using bamboo. It's a flexible material which splits readily creating a stronger bundle of fibers. I confess in advance to stealing the stepped replacement round tenon. Sizing it to fit the hole is also a more sensible approach. I must also ask finally whether this mini chair is part of a set (or playset) which was a reason that the owner felt it worthwhile to have it repaired when Ikea similarly sized chairs can be bought often for less than the local price of materials

I have a small basement shop similar to yours. I learned alot watching you repair this chair, especially the old "rope trick". Great job! Keep 'em coming! Retired carpenter age 74. near Detroit. Like to hear some discourse on Plato's Republic next time.,..

wow, excellent techniques and excellent tips, thank you very much, I really appreciate that you share your experience. Blessings!

That needed a complete reduild, well done.

Your videos are always worth watching. Thank you, Bron.

Hi Bron! I absolutely love TV lamps😍 We don't have many at all here Down Under; I imported one from your neck of the woods for a friend's birthday gift - it was a majestic stag styled in the art deco fashion...just beautiful. It also needs to be rewired as it still has the US plug, but I'm not game to do that myself LOL. THanks for another great tutorial!

what gauge of wire did u use for the arms and for the main one going to the ceiling?

Nicely done sir 🤙

Hi Bron I love your videos they are so informative! I recently purchased an art deco bronze kneeling lady holding a glass sphere, the globe needs changing but I tried to remove the sphere but I didn’t want to break it. I would like your advice how to remove it safely..thank you.

What is the name of the type of socket mentioned at 8:14. Can you post a link on where to acquire them? Thanks.

Interesting as usual. Thank you.

Always learn something from your videos

ב''ה, since I'm dropping knowledge here, solder is great but when reckoning with wall current, the iron that melts the solder is carrying similar current, thus I'm pretty sure code favors the fully mechanical connections (wire nuts, crimps, the new lever things that may nonetheless have taken out a bridge recently) where even if a connection fails and somehow heats the wires will not come apart and risk making the situation worse. Practically speaking, a good twist does that anyway but something to keep in mind for any viewers considering burying DIY repairs in their walls or cabinetry.

ב''ה, might be covered as I'm only halfway through, but for trip and yank resistance, the "underwriters' knot" is what you want for standard lamp repair. In a fixture like this a plastic strain relief is also common and standard these days. There's also some kind of crimp bushings available for stranded wires for screw terminals but check what code allows, I guess.

The twisting the end of stranded wire is a great tip

I have done repair work on, among other things, power recliner chairs. There is the 120 cord, the transformer, the low voltage cord, the switch and the motor, and wires between. Initially, I had salvaged parts and would swap them in and out until I found what was not working. Then I got a non-contact voltage detector and it became my friend. First time I used it, I diagnosed a problem in the 120v cord and it would switch off and on when I wiggled it. Saved a lot of time.

If your going to give history lessons on a lamp mfg company make sure it's factual information please.

I'm so grateful that you integrate your philosophy of repairing into your practical tips and work.

Thanks for several interesting tricks. Useful info as always.

I have just added straw to my lamp repair toolbox. Thanks for the tip

Thank for the visual. I rewired my lamp. It wasn’t, easy but I did it!

Problem solver extraordinaire

We use the tool you used to deburr the end of the pipe in reloading ammunition. It is used to chamfer and deburr the inside and outside of a wide range of calibers of brass cartridges before inserting new powder and a projectile. There is probably a formal name for this tool but reloaders will call it a deburr bullet. These are currently available for about $30 at midway USA or Brownells.

Thank you so much; excellent work and excellent tips; blessings!

So jealous of your shop.

Glad you could make it safe and functional. Maybe a little harder to pull but working as intended. Great job. Cool old lamp.

Such great priceless tips~ you’re wonderful! 😊

A job well done. Thank you sir.

As usual, good and useful info. Thanks.

This was well explained, thank you for detailed video. Off to rewire and old lamp from the trash!

I always learn so much from your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
