You did a nice job of hiding the problem temporarily and you'll get to do it again next year.

[@christopherfriedberg6597]

Wait ! You needed to pull the table together BEFORE adding the bowtie. Now the surface is wider on one end ! The dowels do nothing.

[@johnf9127]

I was thinking the same exact thing

[@anthonyvasquez5128]

That's the first thing that crossed my mind. A couple pipe clamps and some glue is all you need. Then fill it in. The color matching does look good though.

[@marinegunny826]

Was going to make the same exact comment. The table now tapers out to about and inch wider at that end

[@lancemillward1912]

If the table cracked that much will the little shims put in the crack eve e stable. I thought bowties would go underneath.

If a 6 foot table is splitting in half, what is a bowtie that's only half an inch thick in the middle gonna do? I would just cut the cracked section out and add a middle section back in

[@murphymmc]

I suspect CA glue, while being very expedient, does not have the flexibility needed to bond wood. It get very hard, therefore very brittle, it will fail as assuredly as those honey consistency polyurethane glues. I used that on some furniture repair before I understood the properties of the stuff. Every joint failed in two years. Took every joint apart, cleaned that crap off, used a type II modern wood glue, probably Titebond, that was ten years ago, still stable and holding. I applaud your color matching skills, the finished product looks good. I think you'll be redoing it in a couple of years.

[@Gnefitisis]

Was thinking the same thing. He's a hack.

[@ruycarloskastalski2071]

Good job. Congratulations.

[@АгентВихрь]

SUPER!!! Thanks for the quick and not boring video.

[@keithlea6804]

My grandfather showed me how to fix tablets that crack. Bow ties work for this type of fix. Bye not clamping the wood you're not putting pressure on the stressed area that caused the problem in the first place. But the proper way is to cut out a board with with the crack in the center of the board. Glue in a new board clamp and refinish. Fixed many since the 70s. And the only tables that haven't came back too haunt me years later we the tables i cut out the crack and effected area . In a nut shell you have to remove the stress that caused the crack . Or it will come back in years or decades.

[@thingsinmyhead4189]

I don't think I've ever seen a better example of "its all in the finish" in my life. I think the repair job was a bad one, first using a bowtie that does nothing in this case because it's so thin & badly placed, & then wedging the Crack apart even further. It's basically being held by sawdust & superglue. Great finish though...

[@vikassm]

Yeah.. I'm by no means any kind of an expert on furniture repairs, but I caught myself going "wait, what??" I was half expecting some form of epoxy pour into the crack, but the way those pieces were wedged in.. oh man!

[@sk8ternate1]

yeah agreed that was not a good repair at all, and might split again.

[@bullgamer7343]

Was the table struck by lightning ! Overall, a great repair. But you should have clamped the table back to square. Before you started.

[@francoismouton8338]

impressionnan, magnifique travail..

[@raysanders332]

I am curious as to why you did not clamp that back together?

[@ArkRed1]

My rocking chair sits on the back deck during the day. I bring it in when bad weather approaches. Will the hot sun losen the glue joint? Should epoxy be used instead of white or Titebond type glue? Adding a butterfly wedge and spline is what I plan to do as you did. I'll put added coats of Polyurethane as added protection. Thanks for the post.

[@fakeaccount7750]

...except now the table is a Trapezoid instead of a real rectangle. Judging by the video title, the table is wider on one side than on the other. He shouldve pulled/clamped the table together and then add the bowtie. That way the table wouldve been much closer to its original shape.

[@jimtongas821]

Now that's freakin talent. Turned the piece that was destined for the trash into a beautiful usable piece again. Much respect, awesome job! 👍👍👍

I would debate "usable", since that crack is now a time bomb waiting to go off.

Things I would have done different: Clamp the table tighter Depth tape your bit for consistent drilling depths. Daisy chain the drilling minding the exterior face of the bit so as to leave nothing but chiesel" clean up instead of beating on it like mad with a hammer to clear the excess. Install the bowtie subset by 1/8-1/4" reason to follow Would have reached the entire installment side and redone the entire ares (let's face it, it's all of 1/16th meaning any deviation will be blatantly obvious where as refacing the entire surface would prevent abnormality. Back to the subset tbowtie. Why would you do such a thing? Ne might ask. I'd take the removed materials and mix it with wood glue until reaching "field capacity" and then add a touch more glue. This way you have similar material to the patch instead of using pre-made filler. This same handmade filler would go into the new recess infront of the bow tie to conceal it a bit better. Now to the finishing. Sand from the widest point to the thinnest point to prevent tool dig from uneven pressure. Fewer long passes will produce better consistency than several tiny passes across the gap. Think drawing to sketching. The final steps would be yo use an orbital with a fine grit to resurface the entire piece including reproducing the entire ares along the bowside end. Final step would be to restain and probably redo in a few more years. The wood is splitting for a reason. This is where the false plug infront of the bowtie is installed. You'll get clues there and along the gap where the wood will pull from the material or flake out when it becomes lose But again this is all just my opinion and what I personally would have done with the project. Coming from a trim background I've learned the smallest alterations create the biggest headaches in production. The details matter. That being said there's probably several fulltime furniture repair guys who would argue with me about approach Edit: in hindsight that Crack is bigger than the grandcanyon I probably wouldn't even bother with the price or playing the cut and glue game unless I was going to turn it into repurpose the wood to produce a new table

[@janmazanec4687]

What color did you use? Is it something special?

[@federicomuller5348]

I do not know anything about this kind of job but my logic tells me couple of things, if the table was cracked, separated, it lost its original shape, the border is no longer 180° so you are just filling the new space that formed because of the braking but not realigning the border. 2nd you could use a wider blend to cut the spare wood that is not needed instead of that little tiny cutter

Que lindo trabalho um artista em madeira parabéns 👏👏👏👏

[@troubledspirit3328]

Good job. Its funny reading the comments of people who have probably never done any wood working or repair in their lives but know everything about it

[@BPZ313]

The only thing you managed to do here is add even more stress to the crack by adding more wood. Not only is this table not in square anymore, but it can split apart at any time.

[@BPZ313]

Agreed; it's not a question of "if" but WHEN it splits. This is now a disaster looking for a time to happen...

Great fix, except I would just taken to the table saw and ripped it done the middle then glued back together.

[@BPZ313]

I would have simply cut that end off, cut the other end off, squared both the cut ends and the center section of the table, added hinges and sliding slats to create a table with folding leaves.

I would not have repaired the table like that. I would remove the top from the frame. Then use a wire brush to clean out the debris in the gap. I would test clamp it together and clean out until I could close the gap completely. I would then flood the gap with glue and clamp together. I would add small reinforcements across the gap underneath using glue and screws. Sand the top and using the sawdust make a filler with glue to close any gaps.
