Excellent work Bron. I truly appreciate the description of time spent determining best approach to a repair. Curious question: Do you save the various jigs you make for future use, or consider them one time only use?
Thank you very much. I try to save jigs made for a machine such as the table saw or drill press. They are likely to be used again. The real problem is storage and retrieval. I have a couple shelves of fixtures made for clamps. I'm always duplicating something I already made because I didn't see it. I save the curved parts of the chair holding jigs, but but there's no standard chair curve. I break down most jigs to reuse the pieces, which get a little smaller with each new jig.
Always learn something watching your work ....thank you for sharing your knowledge with us ...Happy Easter
You are very welcome and thank you as well.
Good video and good advice. “ the dry fit is most important part”
I can't stress that enough. Thank you very much.
Those fixtures were impressive. How did you make the bottom half of 2 wood clamp jigs stick to the bottom half (screw side) of the bar clamps?
Thank you very much. I drill a 7/8ths hole with a Forstner bit in the block. This usually gives a snug fit on the screw swivel tip.
An impressive fix. You could teach a master course in jig making.
Thank you very much. I have thought about a video on just the techniques of making custom fixtures for clamps. That might be in the future.
One can only hope!
@@BronZeage please do this
It's definitely a project@@agjohnsonandson
That was a major surgery, the patient will live another 100 years.

best you could do without tearing the upholstery off & refinishing the entire frame !
I'm very happy with the results.
