USE an electric soldering iron on nails and screws that have been in the wood a long time. It expands the screw and breaks the bond with the wood when it cools it's easier to unscrew

This came out very nice. Clever idea to use a lathe for the sanding! That is something I have never thought to do, though I do have a lathe, daaa. One thing I would suggest, if you know the approximate age of the item you are restoring, they most likely used hide glue. So you may want to use hide glue instead of pvc glue when assembling it again. If you or someone else ever has to take apart the chair or a joint, a bit of heat will liquify it again and the part will come apart easily. I know what a pain it is to have broken screws when taking apart something. A real pain. I use a plug cutter in the wood around the screw when trying to get at a head or the broken part. In steel, well that is a whole new game. Great work!
@Restorology Жыл бұрын
Hi. Thanks for the feedback and the nice comments. I agree with you about hide glue but I felt that I had to use epoxy glue on this because the joints were not tight and that hide glue or wood glue would not have worked. I do not enjoy working with epoxy but it fills spaces well where wood glue would not. A plug cutter around a broken screw head is an excellent idea!! Thanks for the tip! Cheers!

@Restorology Жыл бұрын
Na verdade, prefiro um acabamento natural nos móveis, mas me disseram que este originalmente tinha um acabamento mais escuro, então tentei combinar com esse estilo. O acabamento mais escuro também cobre muitas imperfeições na madeira, então talvez seja por isso que tantas pessoas o usam. Obrigado por perguntar. Felicidades!

@Restorology Жыл бұрын
Hi. I just used a commercial brand two-part epoxy available from JB Weld. I am not a fan of epoxy but used it because I needed to fill gaps between the wood in the joints. If your joints fit well, a good wood-on-wood fitting, try using a carpenter's wood glue. It is easier and cleaner to apply. The syringe had either isopropyl alcohol or vinegar in it. I've used both to loosen up old glue. If you add heat it might work even easier but be careful not to burn the wood. Thanks for the question!
