Nice job, and a stark contrast to a guy called Norm who would have pulled out one of his dozen or two routers and then said, "Well, perfect fit there." But my nightmare repairs always were prefaced with, "My husband tried to repair this with Gorilla Glue." Despite the fact that its company is nearby here in town and I've actually done work for its owners.
To be honest, I prefer they use Gorilla glue. As in this job, the glue never made it to the break. Other times, it's not clamped so when it foams, the break spreads and it's easier to take apart. Every tool has its place. I can't imagine installing a couple hundred feet of shoe moulding, on my knees with a hammer and 3d finishing nails.
A particular Massachusetts based television woodshop personality was never filmed swinging a hammer to drive a nail into a project. More than any other, he normalized the casual use of the pneumatic brad driver for any and all applications. Curse you, Russel Morash, and your sponsors !
In the Lab, when we drive a nail, we not only use a hammer, we use the correct hammer. The only good thing I can say about people who use brad guns to repair furniture is they didn't use Gorilla glue.
Good explanation of the difference between repair and restoration.
Thank you very much. A repair at a reasonable cost keeps it out of the landfill.
Another great tutorial on drawers and dove-tails - Thanks Bron!!😀
Thank you as well.

Informative as always. Thank you.
