    This item and its matching piece, who is the manufacturer? I have 2 pieces in this style (Federal?). The bead trim and window lattice need work, not sure I should attempt to repair.

    • @johnsfurniturerepair
      @johnsfurniturerepair 58 хвилин тому

      The maker is at the tip of my tongue, Malcolm? Believe it’s in the video. I’m not sure if I would call this a true federal. A bit of a transitional piece.

    Originally, I tried to fix some of the items in my household. Subsequent liver damage from another cause, made me wonder if my inexpert exposure to the chemicals. However, there is a wooden furniture repair business in our town, Dekkard and Bix, where I decided to take those damaged chairs inherited from my grandfather who was a master carpenter for the Boston & Maine train. They were able to make the repairs that made the furniture stronger than the original, and restore them to the pride of their original construction. I am glad to see this carpenter protects herself from the damaging aspects of the paint removal chemicals.

    I've no idea why UA-cam sent me here but I am so glad it did. It's reminded me that I got a similar conditioned chair as part of an auction lot (if you want it you have to take the chair!) and it has been in my loft for thirty years. I'm inspired to do something with it now, so you have saved two chairs!

    At 25:10, I like to add a piece of wax paper or something else between pieces, so the block is really easy to remove if the glue grabs it. Maybe it's a waste, but it works for me. I love your work. I only wish i had a 10th of your talent. I always learn things from watching you.
