I can sand (without causing too much damage)... I can scrape (with some risk of making things less flat than they were when I started)... I can take stuff apart (in ways that give me the opportunity to solve NEW problems)... I can paint (without too many unintended consequences)... Once I even started to paint a chair (still unfinished, 15 years later)... ![]() But... Although I am developing a keen fascination for hide glue... I still don't know a single thing about gluing furniture together. Except for what I just read in this thread. And... Since the chair you see here has need gluing for some time (see that joint in the upper left? It pulls right apart)... This has all been VERY helpful. Thanks! ![]() |

Here's a close-up of where it's coming apart and needs gluing. There are a few other loose joints, but this one is by far the worst:
![]() I'm planning to strip the chair and repaint it, so I figured I'd reglue everything then. Unfortunately that project's way back in the queue behind a lot of other projects... and every time the chair gets moved (constantly), this one joint gets looser... with bad consequences for the rest of the chair. I know I should just go ahead and glue it to keep it from getting worse - but I want to do it right and I haven't wanted to take the time to figure it out until I get some other things off my plate. I'll be getting back to my desk in the next couple of weeks, and the next thing on THAT agenda is reattaching some pieces of veneer. I'm using hide glue for that, so maybe I could also use it for a temporary fix on this one joint on the chair while I'm at it. Thoughts? |

I agree, the article seems to cover every question I can think of. I'm sure after the first chair I will have "learned" a lot more about the whole process. |
