Thank you Denis

It's so satisfying to see it all back together, you must be chuffed 😊👌 I hope the customer can pick it up and drive it home safely 🥺I don't know if I could trust the post a second time 😔

[@StockmanOriginal]

Thank you Dave, yeah l’m pretty pleased for sure. It’s going to Pennsylvania so packaging might be as much a challenge as fixing it 😳.

[@davedelany2116]

@@StockmanOriginal yeah, if I was the owner I'd fly out to pick it up, give you a bottle of very nice scotch and fly back with it on my lap cradling it like a baby 😜

😀

[@57WillysCJ]

That has become a beautiful piece after the restoration. Now I would be afraid to ship it back. Packages shipped today remind me of the old Samsonite luggage commercials.

[@StockmanOriginal]

Thank you 57WillysCJ. Packaging will be a challenge for sure.

When you make a repair, as you did to the rug. What do you use as an adhesive? Thanks looks great!

[@StockmanOriginal]

Hi Ashley, usually I use titebond ll, it’s a wood glue. But every once in a while super glue is just the ticket as with the rug. I had a good fit and plenty of glueing surface. I use SureHold-super glue.
