Wow. Now that’s exactly what I needed and in only 2 1/2 minutes instead of 30? You are a natural teacher. I will use your link to buy the supplies if possible.
The pocket hole jig I used on that was an old one. This one is no longer available. I believe the Kreg company still makes similar ones. Thanks for watching.
This is a great tip. I like it. I still have my eyes open for a round table at my favorite thrift stores. The virus closures are making my search quite a bit more difficult, but I'm gonna keep looking until I find one. Stay safe.
Wow I sure learned a new trick watching this video. Thank you so much for posting this one. Your fixes are amazing. You seem to have the mind of an engineer.
I've found that using one of those injectors made for injecting brine or maranade into chicken/turkey/etc with the metal tips like a huge syringe works great for wood glue. Or clamp it all together, then use very thin CA glue like "Hot Stuff" from Satellite City (woodcraft sells it) and even clamped together, this glue will follow the entire crack and hold better than wood glue. I use this when fixing cracks in Rifle and shotgun stocks and ive never had it fail.
I noticed that you don’t have links to your supplies. A lot of other people include links for the supplies they use because they get a payment when people buy their supplies through the RUclipsrs link. I would have been happy to do that.
If there's dirt in that crack, then no amount of glue will hold it together. Best to spend some time with some distilled water or DI water, and a wool cloth or fine brush. Let dry then proceed . . .
Chair seats are thicker so it might not be very effective. It really depends how bad the separation is. In some cases you can squeeze glue into the crack and clamp. Sometimes you can use glue and insert a small shim or piece of veneer. Difficult to say without looking at the damage.
Well!! This video just got you not only a follower. But a fan!! Thanks for the great tutorial
Saw a tip on another channel that used a shop vac to pull the glue through the crack. I can't wait to try this, thank you so much!

Good one mate. I'm not usually a pocket-hole fan but this is an excellent example of where they really work. Cheers Tom.

Check estate sales too.

Thank you!
Just upgraded to the K4 Kreg it is great
Save an old gift card for squeezing the glue in the split, also if it is possible use dental floss to really spread the glue in there.
champion! absolutely awesome idea! thanks - can now fix my 8 seater tassie oak hardwood table!
Great! Hope it works for you.
Absolutely cool! Thank you.
I use a shop vac to suck glue into a narrow crevice from the opposite side.
Brilliant! Love it!

That is great advice!
You can also use dental floss to work the glue into the crack
Not the accepted antique restorer technique. Ultimately, long term, these screws will create weak spots and new to be removed by a future restorer.
Great tip!

Would this work where the split is directly in the wood and not at a join?
That's interesting
Wood is very powerful and this wood already told you which way it wants to move. This crack is certain to come back.
Hi! My table isn’t splitting apart it’s gone vertical up. Does this technique still work :) is there a way I can contact you and get help!
If you look in the "About" tab on my channel you will find my email address. You can send pictures and explain further.
Would pocket hole screws work on split chair seat

Can it be done in a seat
I don't see why not. Wood is wood :-)
