This chair restoration project was a challenge. It came into our workshop after it was apparently repaired by another repair shop... and it was a disaster! The leg was broken. Some of the furniture joints were glued together with polyurethane (a big no no). There was a screw in the leg to hold it in place. A wedge was missing that holds the chair back in place. There was a splinter of wood missing on the chair back. In a previous repair, a chair back spindle was replaced but the woodturning didn't match the rest of the spindles.
As with all our Fixing Furniture videos, we show you how to repair and restore this piece of furniture to get it back into working order. Our customer spent years searching to find 8 matching chairs. They finally had their collection of chairs, but the leg on this one chair broke. Their plan is to paint the 8 chairs black so they look consistent around a large table. We don't need to finish this char but there's a lot of work to do. We hope you enjoy this video and the additional resources listed below.

Amazing craftsmanship and patience, great work!
I broke the rules and voted for 2 channels. This competition was really about comparing apples to oranges to bananas to pears. All channels have excellent content. But AT restoration and John's Furniture were on another level and I couldn't choose between them. I am a huge fan of Transcend Furniture,, Angie regularly turns dross into gold. And she is a solid craftsperson when it comes to repairing damage, but not on the same level as the other three. She has a different business model and works on a different type of furniture. John's Furniture: Wow. The whole package. Trained from youth by an expert. She wove a chair back and bottom! AT Restoration: I have come across this channel before. Haven't really followed it because it's a type of furniture and restoration that you just don't see much in North America. And what he does is so complex! Amazing restoration. Like John's, such a high skill level. Finally, Fixing Furniture. You can learn so much about repairing joinery on this channel. The most informative video in the competition, but probably suffered in the judging because the finish was left for the customer to do so the end result wasn't "pretty". Both Fixing Furniture and Transcend Furniture Gallery are great teaching channels for people with ordinary skills and shops. John's and AT's show what seasoned professionals can do. Long story short, I am so glad they had this competition. I was under the weather today, so watched all 4 videos back to back. Great content!
... I broke the rules more... I voted for all 4.
They each had a lot to contribute, and were excellent examples of their individual skills and styles.
Your description was well written, so not much for me to add!
😁
@@Zardox2 really, they all deserved a win.
As many before said; you are all awesome in your own way, all four participants. Please, repeat this “competition”! Pretty please!
Wow! What an amazing labor of love!!! Angie from Transcend Furniture Gallery sent me over!
Thanks for watching and following the links we're sharing for this competition! Cheers. Scott
Excellent. You are a great teacher Scott. This has been a fun competition to watch. You are all first place winners:-)
This challenge is my introduction to your Chanel. Fabulous repair and you are a GREAT educator. So much detail to learn watching you go through this project. You’re a master of your craft, know construction, products, what to look for and how to execute. Quality of the finished repair is top tier. I’ll be following you now.
Same!
Came here to say exactly this!
I can't believe i just watched an hour long video on fixing a single chair. You hooked me!
Came for the competition and cannot believe the talent, the care, the love, and the vision you all have. Your repair work was outstanding.
I probably boogered the competition, because I gave all four of the videos a thumbs up! I’m glad it led me to your channel.
I just wanted to say that I think that CleanLathe invention of yours is absolutely amazing! Well done! It has always dumbfounded me that something like that does not already exist. Especially with how messy turning can be!
Very useful video. Really appreciate the in-depth explanations and tips. I have four chairs to repair for myself. This competition is coming at a very opportune time for me and great to see Angie on Transcend Furniture Gallery joining in too. It was through her that I found you, John's furniture repair and Tom Johnson.
I'm glad to hear you're enjoying this collection of videos. We all have different ways of working so it can be helpful to see how each of us approach our craft. Cheers. Scott
Scott, I am so glad the RUclips algorithm directed me to your channels. Your skill, ability to teach, and production values are all incredible and I have learned so much since I started binge-watching this time last week! I want to thank you for all the effort you've put in and to wish you continued success.
Your superb skills are on show here again Scott, as usual. Of the four videos in the competition, I would say this one is definitely the most educational one, as it is absolutely packed with tips and guidance. You really do have a wonderful way of explaining things. Thanks for posting.
I watched AT restoration and your videos so far.Different chairs ,different repairs.I must say I enjoyed both equally.
Awesome, thank you for watching these videos! We're collaborating enjoying doing some collaboration. Scott
Very useful tip about a thick shaving around a loose part.
Your instructional repairs are wonderful... the chair's issues and how you explain why, how, and exactly what to do are really helpful ... that chair looks great and I'm sure your customer will be very happy that it's now solid and whole again
I particularly appreciate that you talk through each step
Thank you for the transparency, I really appreciate that! And what a great invention: the CleanLathe!
¡Exceptional! Una agradable noticia sobre esta competencia. ¡Ya sé quién será el ganador! ¡¡¡NOSOTROS!!! porque cada uno tiene su talento y experiencia en la restauración de muebles. ¡Gracias Mr. Scott! Nos dio una clase maestra de cómo No arreglar una silla y de cómo SÍ arreglar una silla. Muy buenos consejos y tips sobre el armado y pegado de una silla. Y como siempre teniendo en cuenta la seguridad al manipular las máquinas eléctricas. Que su proyecto para evitar la viruta en el torno pueda ser asequible y puesto en práctica por todos los carpinteros. Felicitaciones por su aporte y éxitos en todos sus proyectos. Saludos.
I watched all the four competition video's. Is it bad if I gave all of them a thumbs up?
The repair is beautifully done, as usual! You always restore everything beautifully and masterfully. I hope that you will post the finished (stained and coated) chair in the future. I read in the comments that someone was surprised to have watched this hour-long post; I had no idea that I had just watched for an hour! Your instructions are always so interesting:. no fluff, just pure information! Thank you. I wish I could have seen all of you restoring the same chair!
Here’s the deal. I love all your styles as well as specific skill set and vision. I “liked” all the videos.
Oh no! Had to like all the videos! How will we know which one is the winner? All four restorers did well.
😂 I voted for all four as well!
@@Zardox2 I think I did it because the world is competitive enough and because someone else mentioned breaking the rules and voting for two.
You’re a really fantastic teacher and I love that you still try new things (such as recently learning to use a lathe). Love your channel.
Amazing work! Such detail!
I've been looking for other furniture repair videos. I was already following AT and John's. I just subscribed to you and Transcend.
I “liked” them all, because I can’t pick one!
@fixingfurniture thanks for the lesson and collaboration! I started over on Trena's, then Angie's since I watch the ladies frequently. I didn't clue in until I popped over her from one of their links that I watch you frequently too...lol.
When you mentioned cutting the legs off because of the glue I got concerned because I'm sure I'll run into this. According to several resources they said use a heat gun to soften the polyurethane glue then pick it out. It also said paint stripper will loosen it (obviously not simultaneously).
Love the wood shaving trick! Very clever sir!
On an alternate note-I'm excited to say I accomplish something today that many said couldn't be done!
I'm currently working on refurbishing a vintage children's rocking chair that was badly damaged in a flood last year. I've asked many people for advice over the past year and either I didn't get an answer or I was told can't be done. Some said not sure without seeing it...fair enough.
The base where the spindles go in and the seat are laminated layers of light and dark wood. For some reason only one colour rippled so the layers are spread apart in places. Since I never got any answers I thought I'd test my theory.
After disassembing it, washing the flood crud off (I washed it last year when I first got it from my friend but not all came off until today)...I took the spindle base and soaked it in hot water as hot as I could stand it with nitrile gloves on and degreasing oxi palmolive dish soap. I moved it around under water for a few minutes. (When I was removing the spindles I thought it might be hide glue. )Then I took a thin plastic scraper (used for scraping food off plates)and slid it into the rippled spaces. In a slicing motion I worked around all the edges and with minimal breakage I was able to segregate the layers! Now I simply have to finish cleaning them, sand the old glue off and soften it to flatten the pieces before gluing and clamping it together! Then I have to figure out how to remove the screws from the rusty threaded inserts! They are certainly not part of the initial restoration. I'm going to use honey goo instead of wd-40. I hope this helps others.
Norm Abrahams over on New Yankee workshop has what is called a lathe duplicator...perhaps you can find one.
You’re very informative! I really enjoyed your video!
Thank you to you and your channel. I was able to be the Hero at Christmas by fixing a chair that went to Great Grandma's dining set, and everyone had a place to sit.
That is awesome! Thanks for sharing that. It sounds rewarding!
You know I find your style of speaking and explanation perfect placement and the means methods and order of operation is always laid out so specifically that if we watch closely we'll find out how you do what you do so well.
Great job! I subscribed!!
Yay! We got a preview of the Clean Lathe. Very cool. Amazing molding the new and old part in and getting chair functional. All the stresses on chairs has always been interesting to me.
You're all very talented restorers
But..... but.... I LOVE ALL OF YOU!!! ♥ ♥ ♥
I just subscribed to you! Very educational. I love the other contributors as well.
❤
That turned leg worked really well. I would never know this is a new skill for you; done like a pro as always :)
I think you forgot Transcendend Furniture Gallery . I have followed all 4 channels for awhile . I love all your work ❤
Very informative! You have a great voice and this was a very nice video to watch. You are obviously a very talented restorer and inventor.
Nice job. 👌🏻
Excellent result, love watching your repair work.
omg,just discovered your channel because of the competition. i learned sooooo much! I have a beautiful antique chair and i'm so inspired to fix it myself. of course only after i watch all your videos and those of everyone else. thanks for Sharing your know how. loved your repair! but then i loved transfored furniture galleries too. haven't got to the other yet. but i'm sure i'll love it too! you people are so talented!
Excellent finished project, guess I am going to need to get some hide glue in my shop as I have 3 pieces of furniture with all kinds of breaks and looseness in them, I appreciate your tips you gave as you went along. You have got some pretty stiff competition young man, thanks for the video.
Thumbs up for the technical difficulty in this competition.
enjoy your methodology, instructive and informative...🖐
Nice work.
Great video. Would it have been possible to repair the broken leg by cutting out the bad parts and bridging with a doweled block that would then be turned to size? Thanks for sharing this video!
Very professional repair 🙏🏽
Thanks 👍
Definitely impressed with fixes, I.e. shavings to fix a loose joint. Forcener bit used backwards, and the way you align your angles. I one of those who drills cockeyed 😂 ❤ excellent restoration
You skills are amazing.
Here because of the friendly competition! :)
Very educational! Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it! Scott
Again great teaching!
Again, Scott I learned some stuff today about wood. Not necessarily about furniture, but general wood assembly and fitting. So valuable for other uses. Thank you.
Glad you found it helpful!
Well, so far, my vote is a wash! Everyone has different techniques, but I’m finding them all interesting. I don’t know about anyone else, but the optical illusion created by the color difference in the repaired spindle for the chair back, made it look straighter than the others! I know they weren’t concave, but they sure looked like it to me!
Scott, depending upon how often you need to duplicate turnings, there are lathe duplicators as aftermarket items for most quality lathes.these work in a similar manner to how metal lathes work with respect to auto feed and have the copy function,of a key-making machine.
Scott: great video. All of you have done a fabulous job. I vote for all of you and your chair restorations. Carol from California
wonderful restoration, informative, great narration and filming. Typical!!!❤❤
That was a tricky bunch of repairs!
Thank you for this didactic entry into the competition. Unfortunately I have to vote for Trena for all the work she put into her chair, including weaving the cane for the seat and back. Good luck with your CleanLathe!
You used the opportunity to share some of your awesome skills. Great repair!
Another feast of knowledge and skills for us, thanks so much! It has been lovely Learning Sunday watching all of you.
If you get a chance sometime, is there a trick or technique for replacing a broken or missing spindle without disassembling the others? Maybe make a new spindle and cut a scarf joint in one end of it and glue it back together in place? Or cut it a bit short on the top so it can be put back in one end at a time?
Can't choose! ALL the competitors are getting a "like" from me! 🙂
Ver convenient that you visited Trenna at the same time as you were working in your own workshop.😊
Great work as always!
Your instructions are always concise and easy to follow. Your teaching ability is exemplary. Your final projects are always beautifully executed. I thoroughly enjoy your videos whether the project is simple or extremely complicated.
Thank you. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it! Scott
Enjoyed the video Scott. Your lathe dust extraction invention is nice. Looks like it works really well. Take care and God bless.
All I can say is that, _______'s restorations are astounding, ________'s restorations are amazing. _________'s restorations are beautiful. _______'s restorations are beyond reproach. Thank you,
Great work Scott, have a nice day !!!. Brian UK !!!. 😀😀👍👍.
Your "clean lathe" is very clever. I hope you are collaborating with Lee Valley Tools. This was a very educational video - thanks!
Thank you! Scott
Watching from Yosemite Kentucky. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Nice work!
Thank you! Scott
You need to get to grips with the skew chisel Scott. It's like a dog, it knows when you're frightened of it. Once it knows you're the boss it will be a faithful friend, that will save lots of time and sand paper. If you use a friction ring drive center, the wood will stop with catches. Far less damaging, and easier on the laundry. Very enjoyable wee series of vids along with your colleagues. Richard Raffan and three other turners have been doing a similar thing, with their 4 ways to turn series. BTW Raffan's vid on skew catches is required viewing too. Thanks for posting👍
Very well done. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
what a great job!👍
Fabulous and meticulous as usual.
Basically, my vote is void in the competition because all the renovations are fantastic. They all show different skills in different areas, so it is extremely hard for me to make a judgement as to who wins. I enjoy all of the channels and respect all of the amazing work therein. Thank you for teaching us some of your craft.
1st Thank you for what you show us. You are definitely a true craftsman.
I don't own a lathe but I had to make a spindle similar to the one you made. So what I did was took my square stock and put it next to the bad piece and matched up the holes & angles. Drilled some pilot holes w/angles then I rounded the spindle. I wish I could send a pic of it. Now how I turned it is another story😂 but it turned out nice. I wasn't off by more then a 1/16.
Again thanks for what you do. ❤
Bravo 👏 your skill set is amazing! I lost count of how many times I held my breath. LOL! Would it line up? Would you accidentally chisel off too much? Again excellent job!!! Best of luck on getting your invention out. 🤗
Scott, you're my favorite teacher for anything related to furniture repair. I occasionally work on loose chairs or furniture and dabble a bit in refinishing but i don't make a move without searching your channel first for any similar repairs related to what im doing.
Thanks, that's a high complement! It's rewarding for me to hear you find our video content so helpful!
Lots of really good lessons in this video. I always learn a lot when viewing your work. Although I enjoyed all of the videos in this competition, I’m going to like 👍 this one. Great job Scott.
I was wondering what wood did you choose for the new leg and why? Do I also understand correctly that you didn't use a drill press so that you would have a more manageable way to get the angles correct by hand, even tho it means less precision? Excellent video, many thanks!
The wood I chose to use was Birch. It's a hardwood with a close grain pattern, so it works well for painted wood parts. I don't use my drill press for drilling mortises in legs. I find working by eye works best for me. Cheers
To move spindle shoulder up on the spindle turn a copper tubing cutter where want to make a perfect circle turn to depth needed and pare off what you need.
Thanks for adding this.
Beautiful repair! The wood turning was excellent! Great tips too!
Thank you very much!
Gasp! Well, that’s a Master Class or two, or three, or four…….. TYVM !!!
Glad to hear you enjoyed it! Scott
I love the casual mention that you could be impaled by a lathe.
BEAUTIFUL WORK SWEETIE! NORM ABRAM (NEW YANKEE WORKSHOP, THIS OLD HOUSE) WOULD BE SO PROUD!
Great work dude 😃😃
a usual excellent work and info.. I learn a lot..
Awesome, thank you! As Scott
Some nice work, very helpful tips and extra nice editing, thx.
You earned a subscriber here! This is my first time watching your channel - I really enjoy how you explain the details of what and why you are doing things. I got a kick out ofnyour wooden "Thor" hammer 😂 that you used to help remove the chair back. Lathe work was fascinating too. 👏👏👏👏👏
Good solid work with interesting tips as you went. Such a shame we didn’t get to see the final painted look, it would have been interesting to see it. Thank you, and I now have a new restoration channel to watch. Greetings from Perth, Western Australia.
Where's the reveal video? You're such a wonderful and thorough instructor I would take classes with you. Of course I would want to hang out with Trina for just watching and learning. I'm afraid she trumped your chair though. ❤
Very nice video - I'm fairly experienced at furniture repair, but learned a couple of nice tricks from you.!
thanks, good info
Sorry, but having watched all four videos I "liked" all of them! I also added two new subscriptions (I already subscribed to the other two).
+++++ I've posted this in the comments for all 4 videos +++++
OMG! This was so difficult. I love, subscribe, and get notifications for all 4 channels. I love each channel for different reasons:
FF Scott - your woodworking and teaching skills are fantastic!
JFR Trena - your vast knowledge and colour matching are awesome!
TFG Angie - your creativity and determination are inspiring!
ATR Ahti - your extensive experience with antiques and your attention to detail are fascinating to watch!
Thank you all. I did narrow it down to one but just for this competition because I'm addicted to all of you ❤️
Thank you for sharing that detail. Wonderful to hear your thoughts. Appreciate that. Scott
First time watching your channel
Hope you enjoyed it! Scott
I have a chair I was going to throw away, but you give me hope I can save it. It was a pretty nice chair from Goodwill, but it's been out in the rain... but it has a matching chair and once it looked good.
You can do it! Good luck with your repai project! Scott
You forgot to mention Transcend Furniture Gallery as a participant.
Yes, I started filming before Angie joined the competition. I mention her part way into the video
