Thank you!
I admire and respect Tom and Scott very much. I watch them both because I love restoration and not redesign. I liked this video and I am looking forward to more collaborations. I am so allergic to all woods and chemicals so my viewing is for vicarious pleasure.
Thanks! I'm so sorry about the allergies
Love learning from professionals who know their stuff! Thank you, Mr. Johnson. 👍👏✨
You're welcome!
Thank you both gentlemen, for your efforts in YT, two of the most beneficial channels to me as an amateur woodworker. I enjoy the knowledge you provide along with full descriptions as to "why". And, for some reason the repair & restoration aspect of woodworking I find to be very interesting to me. Maybe it's because I've had to use your techniques to correct so many of my mistakes while making new projects.
Thank you Tom & Scott, your videos are very much appreciated.
You're welcome!
This was a great collab. Good to see humility among such knowledgeable people who are willing to continue learning. Cheers, gents!
Thank you!
Thank you both for sharing your knowledge. I enjoy watching furniture repair videos from both of you. Please keep the conversation going.
Thank you! Will do!
Tom and Scott, I follow both of your channels, and enjoy it when YT “mentors” collaborate. 😮 Learning a lot from both channels!!
Please do more of these topical collaborations; they are excellent resources and references.
Awesome, thank you!
Well I was certainly glued to my screen! Thanks to you guys for a great collaborative format.
Wait for the next one, you'll get clamped to your screen! :)
Good one! Thanks! It's a sticky subject
Yes! Thanks
Thank you for leaving the advertisements for the end. A great conversation, even if it is with oneself, should never be interrupted. Y'all did a great job of making the questions and answers flow without all that fluff other creators do! I like when folks get to the point!
Thanks! Me too!
Excellent presentation! Although I've been following this channel for over a year now, I recently watched one of Scott's videos, so I was delighted to see this collaboration. I think you gents could present several topics beyond gluing. What I enjoy about this style of presentation is that you each deal with different types of furniture repair. Seeing you compare notes would provide viewers with a much better understanding of the processes involved in all types of furniture repair. Thanks for the great information source!
You're welcome!
This was a very good educational video! Thank y’all so much for teaching most of us information that most of us didn’t know. I could watch these videos for hours and enjoy every minute of them while learning so much. Thanks again guys!!
You are so welcome!
I love the format of both of you together. So much good information.
Thank you!
What an excellent collaboration. You guys come across as pros. Such a wealth of knowledge. Thank you guys for doing this.
You're welcome!
Love the open exchange of info and ideas to help everyone work a bit smarter! Please do it again! Thanks guys 👍🏼
You're welcome!
Thank you to both of you for this expose of a sticky subject!
I have found epoxy adhesives to be extremely effective in other repairs in the workshop and at home. But there's no going back once the stuff has cured, so be sure to get the components exactly in position.
That's exactly right - in fact it's true of all glue ups regardless - you must get it positioned absolutely correctly
This was a great resource for me. It's really great to have something I can go back to that has a specific direction for each glue instead of scrolling through many different videos looking for an example to copy.
That's great! Thanks
Sharing your knowledge and passing down your experience is priceless. Thank you for your willingness to teach and share the tremendous skill.
You're welcome!
Great to see 2 channels I watch get together to share knowledge. Can't wait to see your future collaborations!
Thanks!
My top favorites together! Really liked this collaborative exchange. Nice job! ...oh and YES on clamps as a topic.
Thanks!
Two of the best. I have learned an enormous amount from you two gentlemen. Thank you both.
You're welcome!
I love the format - two great craftsmen sharing their vast knowledge and expertise. This literally answered every question I had about glues! I’m anxious to see the next ones where you discuss clamps and saws, but I would also like to see a video about finishes and how you decide what to use and when to use them. Is it simply a matter of preference or the use an item will see or are there choices you make due to the wood or stain used? I like an oil or wax finish - but, I fear this would not be suitable in all applications. Deciding on a finish is my biggest dilemma!
Thanks Vickie! I always say the best finish is the one that works for you!
That was a fun video to put together with you Tom. Have a great weekend! Scott
Hi Scott! I was going to let you know I was re-publishing this one - you beat me to it!
I enjoyed the collaboration very very much. Thank you Thomas and Scott. John here, from the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee.
You're welcome!
Good morning brother! Thank you for all The videos!
Good morning! You're welcome! First comment!
I like this collaboration between you and Scott. You both are amazing resources.
Thanks! Yes, he is very good!
I love that you guys did this. Some great men in our world!
Thank you! That's nice
I like the format- nice to hear multiple takes on shop processes
Thanks!
Hello Tom, when I was doing woodwork in secondary school in the early 1950s, we used a glue which we called “hoof glue”. I assume that it was derived from horse cow hooves. It came as ‘glue pearls’, which were melted in a cast-iron pot over a fire. I presume that to reverse the glue one would heat it (very carefully). No water was added to the glue during its melting. I am sure that you would have dealt with joints which were secured by this type of glue.
Best regards,
David.
Thanks! That's amazing that you were using hide glue in school!
Tom and Scott are my two go to experts when Iam searching for a solution. This format is great look forward to more collaborations.
Thanks! We'll see, they're not easy to do!
Loved it! Two of my favorite channels
Awesome! Thank you!
Thank you all for presenting this comparison of glues and the techniques for managing glue joining. I watch both of your channels and welcome your collaborative presentations.
You're welcome!
Tom, I always enjoy learning from your videos.
I appreciate that!
I liked the way Tom smiled when Scott mentioned shabby chic :)
Thanks! I'm smiling now just thinking about shabby chic. I can tell you I've been in a lot of homes, a lot of which could be in Architectural Digest And a lot of very traditional older homes and believe me, there's no "shabby chic" anywhere! I think it exists mostly in magazines and TV shows
@@johnsonrestoration I sort of sensed that :)
I LOVED this video. Two of my favourite furniture You Tubers! If you ever think of doing three people, John’s Furniture Repair Treena is also an excellent teacher. Please keep these coming. Chisels would be good too.
Thanks! Scott did make a video with Trena not long ago
Excellent collaboration with helpful information - I look forward to the clamps and saws episodes. Thank you both.
You're welcome!
Nice to see two views on things once in a while. Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing!
You're welcome!
Thank you both, I enjoy watching your videos they are somehow calming and I've learned so much.
You're welcome!
Excellent - knowing why one works better than another is always valuable to know.
Thanks! Yes!
Thank you for this conversation! Please do more! Your time and preparation is so appreciated. The format is palatable and really helpful in making good decisions about what to use and when. Trial and error is tough when you’re working on stuff that can’t be replaced.
Thanks! This whole process of restoration is trial and error!
Excellent format, great information without being overwhelming.
Much appreciated!
I watched this on Scott’s channel months ago, I really like both of your guys channels. I have really learned a lot from both of you,keep up the great video content.
Thanks! Will do!
I watch both of y’all’s videos and have learned so much. I really enjoyed this format and look forward to future videos like this
Thank you!
Great presentation - really brought together, in a practical way, my understanding of the three types of glue. I really enjoyed the format.
Thank you!
Thank you gentleman! Looking forward the clamping video. I have faced some situations that were very difficult to glue up. I know that I'll learn a lot from you two. Thanks again.
You're welcome!
I very much enjoyed this collaboration. Very informative.❤
Thanks!
Two of my favorites! I have learned so much from the two of you
Awesome! Thank you!
We enjoyed this video and the exchange between you and Scott. Would like to see more like this. Clamping? Great idea.
Thanks!
Tom's story is incredible he has been restoring legacy items, animated objects, pieces with evidence of life that hold memories and meaning all of his life. He said his brothers have shops, do they have RUclips?
Thanks! Well said! My brother Greg is working on creating his own channel now
@@johnsonrestoration Mr. Johnson I bet you have heard many interesting stories about how things got broken. I.e. Granpa got drunk and grandma smashed him with the chair etc.
This format is great and I hope you all continue to make them. The collaboration and shared knowledge is most excellent.
Thank you!
Nice to hear about your early life, father and brothers. I've been watching you for a few years on home TV system but easier to comment with my phone. Very interesting to see how you do things
Thanks! I appreciate that
that was great. Good idea. Look forward to seeing you guys presenting again.
Thanks!
I like this format, very educational. Thank you Tom
Very welcome!
Love this video. It was so helpful as I'm trying to repair a family heirloom vanity drawer.
Thanks! Good luck!
I had not seen Scott’s channel. I really like collaborations because I get to meet new content makers. I was told back in the 80’s from a cabinet supply salesman that the difference between white glue and yellow glue was they put driers in the yellow to meet production needs.
I don’t know if it is still the only difference. A lot can change in 40 years.
Thanks! I just don't know...
Definitely. They seem very similar to me
I enjoyed your conversation with Scott Bennett . Thank you.
You're welcome!
Thank you both for your input on adhesives. I agree with everything both of you talked about and as a furniture repair person myself I know the issues that you can get into. Everyone talks about using “enough glue”. Maybe we should consider what happens if to much glue is used. Just saying.
Thanks! Good point - you should never need a lot of glue. There must be wood-to-wood contact, you can't rely on a thick film of glue!
Very smooth and professional video
Thank you!
Thank you for the education on glue. I love hide glue, I first learned about it when I was working with an old cabinet maker restoring a theater pipe organ
You're welcome! Yes, great stuff!
Great bit of information from both craftsmen, I enjoyed this very much. Will give some of these a try.
Great! Thanks
I like the interplay between the two of you!
Thanks!
I and my ten thumbs watch these clips entirely for relaxation and pleasure. I am so clumsy that sharp tools and strong glues are best left alone. However, I really enjoy watching others build and craft, and this episode was informative and enjoyable. Thanks!
You're very welcome!
Thank you both, for sharing your work.
You're welcome!
Well this was fun, I've not come across the other gentleman before on RUclips. What a lovely idea to listen to another furniture specialist asking questions of Master Tom. Great to actually witness your knowledge being passed on even though we, your viewers all absorb it ourselves. I hope you both find time to do some more of these, I loved the format where you insert severally your examples of a particular topic, really effective.
Thank you both. 👍
You're welcome!
I love your work watching your videos makes me very happy I wish you good health so that you continue making wonderful videos a hug from your Brazilian fan
Thank you!
I am late in checking out this video. I LOVE this format. I learned a lot!
So glad! Thanks!
Great video from TWO BIG PROFESSIONAL WOOD WORKERS
Thank you!
This was a great video fulled with valuable information . I hope you do more of these in the future .
Thank you! Will do!
That was great! I really liked the video format. Looking forward to the clamping episode!
Thanks!
Thankyou for making this video! Really informative and useful and has answered several questions that I have had about glues. Very enjoyable!
You are so welcome!
Great info vid gentlemen. Also well done for its entertainment aspect. Please do more of these!
Thanks, will do!
That you , it was very interesting earring on that subject from two great furniture makers/restorers .
You're welcome!
After seeing this, I am thinking that back in the 1960s the LePages glue we used in school was more than likely a hide glue. It was in a little glass bottle with a red wedge type spreader. Great video from both of you.
Thanks! I remember! I wonder what it was
@@johnsonrestoration I remember how when dried it use to crystalize like the hide glue so it quite possibly was.
Awesome can’t wait to see the one about the saws!
You and me both! I need to work on that! I need to learn about saws first
I'm compelled to comment because you both seem to genuinely want that. Clamps, like bicycles, you can never have too many. I'm a new 'clamper' & would relish more info. I am also a new Japanese 'sawer'. I have managed to collect some information on both technologies, but would relish an in-depth video to learn more. The glue video didn't go out of my comfort zone, however it's useful to hear different approaches and that touches on the format of the combination of two presenters. I'm very familiar with most things Tom, but Scott brought different problems to solve and that's helpful.
Thanks! Good ideas - I'll work on that
That was good Tom. Enjoyed the video with Scott on using the different types of glue. Scott did a video not too long ago on some different brands of clamps and their clamping pressure, so I'm looking forward to a video with you both on clamps. Maybe you can co-produce a video with Trina, Johns Furniture Repair who is also in Canada sometime. I enjoy her videos too. You all take care and God bless.
Thanks! Good idea!
This is the third time I've watched this, and I do't recall any other video's that you and Scott made? the one about clamps?did I miss it? I enjoy both of your videos and watch and wait for them sometimes impatiently! But always faithfully! Till the next one! God Speed!
ECF.
Thanks! This is the only one...
This was a great informative video. I love this format and would love more of these. There is so much misinformation out there, and I know i can count on both of you for the right information (and the why behind it).
Thanks!
The most informative video I’ve in a long time.
Thanks for the he great info.
You're welcome!
Very informative video. If we think about it, especially in veneer work, the use of hide glue in the old classic antique furnitures or even the more recent century-built furnitures and its often needed veneer repairs is its centuries-old use of its strength and ease of water cleanup. But also there's a centuries-old unspoken and often neglected furniture flaw we humans often dismiss is that water and moisture is the very cause of delamination of most all veneers as we often place or store furniture in damp environments or basements and garages or locations where wood absorbs water and moisture that breaks down the old hide glues that de-laminates and cracks and curls the veneers. Fortunately, discarded or poorly placed furniture keeps Tom Johnson busy mixing up brews of hide glue and restoring the great veneers and sentimental family heirlooms and their charm over the decades and we can watch him gently repair them and bring them back to life with a future of appreciation for their owners and all of us viewers.😇
Thanks! Yes, good observations. I always tell people to please not store furniture in a basement
Great of you both to share your experience. Very informative! I have just been introduced to Japanese saws and would love to know how and why they work so well.
Thanks! Good question - and good idea. I don't think I know enough about them to make a video. Maybe with a little research...
Very much enjoyed this collaboration and look forward to additional videos. One question I would have seen you touch on is hide glue strengths. Most would say the 192g is for veneer, but I have a feeling that this strength would apply to more situations. Maybe you guys could comment here on do we need all three strengths, hide glue has gotten pretty expensive in the last couple of years, so only keeping one or two around would take a little pressure of the budget!
Thanks! I've never gotten into that subject. Why not just buy the strongest?
Enjoyed this a lot, thanks for sharing your experiences.
You're welcome!
Very good video👍
Thank you 👍
One excellent filler for epoxy like West Systems is wood flour. It is not as strong as silica when used as an adhesive, but depending on the color/kind of the wood used for the flour can make a joint that is both strong and fairly easy to color if it's not exactly a match. Not sawdust, it's generally much finer and more uniform than that, although I have used sanding dust and even sawdust from my bandsaw on occasion. Mixing silica with wood flour will naturally lighten the tone of any kind of wood flour, and make the epoxy paste stronger. Wood flour can be purchased online from most epoxy/fiberglass shops, but also even on Amazon. A gallon of the stuff in a bag or plastic tub should cost around $10 and will last basically forever. In fact, wood flour mixed with other types of glue is industrially used to make MDF sheets and other products.
Thanks! So interesting! I had never heard of it. I suppose we have plenty in the bag of my belt sander! I have collected that fine sawdust before, but never used it much, maybe I will now
Love this format! Thanks!
So glad!
Hello Thomas Johnson thank you!
You're welcome!
I love your knowledge and I love seeing you collaborating -- the idea of you chatting and bringing that into one place is great! This video felt a little stilted. Scripted segments make sense (and the examples in your own shops were great! much better than just staring at you two as you talk hypothetically) but I prefer them not to be posing as spontaneous conversation.
Thanks! Yes, good points. It's difficult to do!
Tom will win in the clamp collection contest!
You're right! I have a lot!
Love the videos. After woodworking for more than 50 years, I learn something from every one. Here’s something’s I’d like to see: videos on finishing techniques ( not products) and a video on how you decide when to use low temp waxes, rub in crayons and most important - how figure out the right coloring markers and spray tints. I use Mohawk products too and find color matching a real challenge. Thanks!
You're welcome! Good ideas - I'm thinking about it
Absolutely love the way your video is made❣️❣️I really don’t mind the length, also most appreciated informaton
Thanks! We work hard at the video production!
Very interesting video. It’s great to see two highly experienced woodworkers comparing notes on products etc. I look forward to the next collaboration. 👍
Thanks!
This is some very good information that I can now use. Thank you gentlemen.👍
You're welcome!
What a great video! I'm a fan (and subscriber) of both of your channels and this is an excellent collaboration. This will be a great series, so informative, based on years of first hand experiences, Love it! I can"t wait for the next one on clamps, saws, or how about which wood to use for what kind of repair? Thank you for taking the time to put this together 😍
You're welcome! Good ideas
I was trying to figure out epoxy glue for a leg that broke into a few pieces arouund a dowel, so this was very timely for me! Enjoyed the sharing of knowledge and feeling if mutual respect. Like the suggestion about how to choose a finish/topcoat.
Thanks! Good luck with that!
Very informative. I remember as a kid in the 50s that people said Elmer's was made of horse and cow hooves. I guess they changed with the times since it's now a PVA glue.
Thanks! Yes, well the Elmers white glue (which is very good glue by the way) was never made from animal protein. I wonder if they were also making hide glue then, which of course would have been brown. Any animal protein will make hide glue, it probably has a lot more in it than just hooves! There's a video on YT where a guy makes hide glue from a dog chew hide bone!
@johnsonrestoration yes, I read it was made of casien, a milk derivative. It was the only glue I was aware of back then, and the idea of it being made of hooves likely came from hearing about horses "going to the glue factory"!
I'm not sure one video can contain this much knowledge.
Thanks! That's good...
Nice seeing a colab between two of my favorite youtubes. Would y'all mind covering CA glue as well? I see some youtubers turning to it often, but I think the only time I see you two using it is to make double-sided painter's tape.
Thanks! I've never used it! Wait, I did a couple of times. I'm just not familiar with it
I really liked the video, a good idea! I look forward to new videos like this. Thank you both
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great show,, learned a lot. Looking forward to the next one. Really guys, this video is a star, comments from a 90 year old woodworker. More , More!!!
Thank you! I hope I'm still working at 90!
works for me...two different styles of presentation, two different experiences, makes for a wider perspective, although both of these folks are pretty darn good at the work!!
Thomas mentioned using cloth to fill a gap... do you have a video that covers that?
Thanks! I don't! Someday it might come up in a video
