To all. This is one of the best videos ever posted regarding wood problems, wood glues and furniture problems every one will encounter. Your have my ultimate respect and many thanks for telling others.
I am a hobbyist woodworker and I have watched many wood repair videos on youtube and there are only two channels that I would recommend to anyone. Yours and Thomas Johnson"s channel. The thought and execution of the way you work is by and far superior than many channels I have seen. Keep up the great work.
I love chair videos. Failure is a common problem that is verified every trash day. And I especially liked that they were rockers. Lots of movement and weather changes. Great video.
Fantastic, I could not stop watching, I have learned so many things in a very short time, thank you,👍👍greetings from Grandpa Pete from France 🇫🇷🥇you are the winner that is for sure
A well produced video, like all your presentations. May I say this: you a model of excellence and frugality. So much is conveyed through your attitude: respect, humility and solid craftsmanship. When a costumer books you for a job, s/he is sure to get their money’s worth. Why? Because you treat even second class furniture with absolute respect. Well done! Your channel, along with Paul Sellers, Mr Chickadee, and Epic Upcycling, are my favourite wood working channels.
Yes sir, a very informative segment. AND I get to listen now because I have a device to help me, fun to hear your accent! When transferring liquid from a can that should be resealed use tape to form a U shape on the leading edge so after pouring the sealing portion is pristine. Thank you for your videos..........
There’s also a product on the market that works well for this. Search for “paint can pour spout”. HD has one under the name FoamPRO. I bought one of these about 15 years ago and it’s still working fine.
Amazing, I found the same chair on the side of the street around the corner from us, same problems except for a broken leg going into the rocker. I have it all apart will address it this winter. Thanks for the great video as well as all of the others.
Well I wish I knew when I fixed my first batch of dining table chairs three years ago what I know now from watching your meticulous furniture repair videos. Thank you so much for everything you have taught me about furniture repair over the last few years.
This was a excellent video. The two things that made this special for me was fixing common furniture, the kind most of us own, stuff from Walmart and Sears etc. Not fine antiques. Plus outdoor furniture. The glue segment was very informative too. Thanks for all your fine work.
Scott: I really enjoyed this video. It was very interesting to find out about the glues, especially for outdoors. Thanks for the information. Carol from California
Enjoyed the video Scott and the explanation of the different types of glues and their uses. Looking forward t the clamp video. Rockers look very nice. You all take care and God bless.
On the rocker where the pin was on the side and tear out the tenon, why didn't you make a floating tenon to replace the damaged one, and a new hole for a new pin?
That's a good question Oliver. That's certainly a good solution to solve the problem with the partially broken tenon. I decided for this particular part, there was enough of a tenon to use epoxy to put it back together again versus the amount of work to cut the mortise, make a floating tenon, fit the tenon into the rocker, patch the hole in the rocker from the old pin, then drill in a new pin. I didn't feel it was worth the effort given how the rocking chair is used. I hope that answers your question. Scott
Another great video. I always learn something. A question on the epoxy. I thought the 5 minute stuff was only water resistant, while the 24 hour stuff was waterproof. Does the "flexibility" of the 5 minute stuff outweigh the lack of waterproof? I look forward to the clamp comparison.
Most of this is spot on, but using a little extra epoxy hardener to speed up cure is not. Using any ratio but the design amounts will make the cured epoxy softer. Think of it as resin having mortises and hardener tenons. You compromise the strength if the numbers don’t match and you don’t make as many joints.
Nice video...what type of paint did you use ?? Oil or laytex..? Also if you were to build an exterior door what type of wood is best and stain or paint...??? Thanks...🖖
The paint was an exterior latex. Regarding a door, that's a detailed answer that's more than just a comment. For a finish, paint or varnish will hold up to the elements with regular maintenance. Scott
I did not realise the 5 min was flexible. Thanks for that 'Snipit' of information. Hopefully it's not to cold for your Halloween evening. Maybe some mulled wine 😉
I love epoxy, I love watching your videos but I don't fix any furnatuire, I use epoxy on retro computer stuff which is my hobby, the epoxy is great to reattach broken plastic pegs or to use in gouges in plastic, that I can then sand flush and of course I have to paint but if its got a gouge I dont think it hurts the value to much to fix it by filling in with epoxy, aka like bondo
You mentioned there was on place that the hole for the dowel was close to one edge, would that not be fixed to center the dowel better, or did you just place that dowel back to the original hole?
Hi Michael. I decided for this particular part, there was enough of a tenon to use epoxy to put it back together again versus the amount of work to cut the mortise, make a floating tenon, fit the tenon into the rocker, patch the hole in the rocker from the old pin, then drill in a new pin. I didn't feel it was worth the effort given how the rocking chair is used. I hope that answers your question. Scott
@@FixingFurniture Hi Scott, That makes total sense in this case. Thank you for the reply and explanation. I am a woodworker, but I do not have a shop. I store my tools in our storage room off the carport. When I wna to build something, I have to haul my tools out and use the carport as a shop so weather is a big issue for me. I live on 2 acres in Texas. Thanks again. Michael
Is there a reason for not using glue (epoxy) at the dowels at 27:40 ? In my opinion using glue will help to strengthen the joint and protect the dowel from the moisture.
The pins in a "pinned mortise and tenon joint" are not glued. In fact, this type of joinery was developed before reliable glues were utilized. As you see later in the video, I prime the bare wood of the pins, then apply 2 coats of paint to the chair. They're well protected from the elements. I hope that answers your question. Cheers. Scott

I hope you get a million subscribers because your channel is practical, and educational.
Thank you so much! Scott
Your outdoor furniture repair is outstanding. Thank you,
Thank you very much!

Glad you liked it. Cheers. Scott
You have been very gentle with those chairs. Walmart furniture doesn’t usually last 20 years!
They were well made back then! Cheers. Scott
Glad to see examples of glue types and their properties. Love your work and videos.
Thank you Troy! Cheers! Scott
Nice Job , have a nice day !!!.
Thanks, you too!

@@FixingFurniture Well deserved. Here’s to your continued success.

Nicely done! Info on the use of adhesives outdoors, very informative.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks Lionel! Scott
Super explanations, especially knowledge about using epoxy. Thank you.
You're welcome. Glad to hear it was helpful. Scott
For the air release slots I’ve used a common pliers. Squeeze the dowel in the larger holes of the pliers and you get automatic relief slots.
yea good idea, just like Ikea dowels, great tip thanks dude
Thanks for that tip Thomas. That sounds good! Scott #tip

I sprayed a non yellowing clear top coat after I painted my rocking chair, do you recommend doing that? Thank you
👍👍👍👍👍👍. Good info

Would a glue like titebond 3 work? I know it's not available in Canada or at least not that I've been able to find in winnipeg
I haven't used Titebond III so I can't comment on it.
Don’t forget, you can add micro balloons, colonial silica, fiberglass fibers to achieve different results with epoxy
Yes, that's a good suggestion to thicken the epoxy. Thanks for adding that #tip
It's rocking 'cuz it's a rocking chair.
Lol
Another Execellent video!!!! Thanks for sharing. Cheers from Brazil.
Thank you for watching from Brazil! Glad you enjoyed it. Scott
Great video with so many great tips,keep ‘em coming 👏👏👍
