When I use a dowel I flute them a few times, it allows glue to flow and reduce hydraulic pressure. Just run it thru a saw blade

Anyone would think wood grows on trees? 😃 Are you on Tic Toc, if not why not? The World needs your knowledge and tips and could be good for business

Beautiful work! What kind of glue have you used?

What a great pair of videos on this repair. Sensible, eloquent, & down to earth workmanship. I salute you sir.

First time that I have ever seen and or heard of a biscuit joint. Fantastic video thank you. How do you make the biscuits?

Hi again. Great video. I sand my wooden chopping block but I never know what varnish to use to finish it with which is non toxic. So the secret is to use oil and not varnish. Makes sense

Hello from South Africa Alan. Wonderful tutorial. I am a guing addict and love everything gold ... thank you so much, I have learnt about Brown Shellac and the steel wool wipe ... like a little French settee ... its absolutely beautiful.

Hi Alan woud be so grateful for a reply. Ex housing executive house and currently renovating it. Two story to replace the wooden flooring upstairs can I ask what is best. Sheets of chipboard or plywood or stripes of wood which it currently has. Stripes of wood are about 6inch wide and not sure of the length but is real wood. Also do I glue it onto the joist plus screw or nail it. Please help. Cost no issue just wanting best quality. Thank you

Beautiful 🇦🇺👴🏻

Great video. Shame you don’t seem to make them anymore. Thanks for sharing. 🇦🇺👴🏻

Thanks Alan - excellent advice!

Really great vid. Sad to see you are not posting anymore 😢

Very poor. Amateur DIY tat

Now the top is may be 3/16 of an inch narrower than it was. How does that work out on the rest of the putting it back together part

If gaps form in the block, do you tighten either the bolts

hope your well alan i love the old tv show you did back to english oak now

So informative and s beautiful job wish you were in Sydney the piece of furtiture is gorgerous

Alan, what is the pink product? Is it available in the States?

Why didn’t you use epoxy glue?

Beautiful job💕

Beautiful. Just what I was looking for - wanting to repaint vintage furniture base/frame other than the standard dark.

Funny enough, all the way from Canada, I have the exact same chair with a broken leg! However, it's the back leg that's broken at the other end, about 6 inches from the floor end of the leg. That part is quite thin and curved. The dowel would have to be about 8 inches long. Is it safe to use only Cascamite to glue the two pieces together without the dowel?

If you happen to see this, the 3D drill bit you mentioned, is that a Forstner drill bit or some other type? Thanks.

I'm pretty sure the best instruction is on Stodoys.

Sir i am sofa workar

Thank you Alan! I have really enjoyed this project and learnt so much. I am getting a little cabinet piece today for restoration and I feel confident with my plan to repair the split top thanks to your videos. 😁

I loved this video!

Top man, a very skilled carpenter indeed. Wish he would upload more often.

Do you need an apprenitce? :)

Hi Alan. Where can I get some of the resin powder you showed in this video? Paul.

what has happed to part three ,you said was to follow, ????

Really helpful peace of advice, which I will definitely put to good use, so thank you 🙏

I’m honestly crying I’m much younger then you but I’m trying to fix a table top my great grandfather made for my mother and this has helped so much! This is all my mother has left of him and alothough she’s not the most sentimental I know how much this means to her! Definitely watching more!

Awesome information thanks a lot for putting this up and sharing your knowledge.

Done this type of work for many years. I would have done the same repair. I would have used a metal rod instead of wood. A smaller diameter metal rod will have the same or greater lateral strength than wooden one. Epoxy is the glue of choice to set it in once your ready. I like to use drill bits that have a long rod welded to them. The weld ground off and smooth. 2 ways they can be used. First, as you did in the video. Watch carefully from ALL sides and above. Going slowly. Making sure of the direction that are going. Second, they can be set up on a long board. With 2 blocks screwed to it. With a hole of the proper size in each. This board can then be clamped to the workpiece. The blocks have to be sized for each repair, each individual situation. Time consuming but necessary. This set up, allows the long bit to be controlled as it drills. I preferred this method of course. But it's not always possible. Hope this is some what clear and helpful. Please don't misunderstand my intentions!!!! I'm just suggesting a variation in the concept. I'm NOT criticizing your work in the least!. You did a very fine repair on that leg. As good as is possible under that circumstances. Cheers!

Where is part three?

Great video any chance you could put a link for the resin glue please

Does not appear to be a 'huffer'.

Very informative video. Thanks Can you give me the name and website of the upholsterer ? Thanks Louis

Please do more programmes with Tommy Walsh

You make me laugh...bonus for a dull subject

I thought you had to plane the pieces you biscuit joined? You just sanded.

I have a table top that split because of heat - previous owners left an antique mission table outside in 100+ degree Fahrenheit weather. Would that be a suitable candidate for gluing since it’s not due to tension in the wood?

I was watching ypur video on the split oak table where you used french polish to seal the surface. How much time do you leave between coats? You said you put three or four coats on.
