I may have 1-2 pieces a year that I repair under warranty. I did a video on a split chair leg that I thought was a warranty issue, but it turns out the chair leg split in a different spot and the repair held. I ended up replacing the whole leg for the customer (at their cost) as the wood was not strong enough for how they were using the chair (leaning on the back legs... not what chairs are intended for). I haven't considered doing a video on warranty work, but I will now. Thanks for the idea Andrew. Scott

Fine video, as always. As far as putting nails through the caning holes and clamping those, another possibility might be to use a cord wrapped back and forth around a pair of nails to make a bunch of overlapping loops, then inserting a stick into the middle of the loop and twisting it around to tighten the cords. Possibly a single length of wire through the holes and the two free ends twisted together like a twist tie might also work (no nail needed at all), although I could see the wire snapping from metal fatigue if it's overdone.

I thought about the pin holes being offset like what is done in post and beam construction, but I don't think the pin in this furniture would withstand that pressure. The pins are tapered so I suspect the hole is either tapered or larger on the outside. The hole on the inside of the mortise is smaller. It's an interesting joinery technique I'd love to learn more about. I will have to do some research. Cheers. Scott

Good thought, but when reinforcing parts, you need to consider what you are weakening. When using a dowel across the grain of wood, you're cutting through the grain and causing weakness. It's a balancing act based on the situation you encounter. In this case, the glue up of the tenon was the best choice. I hope that helps. Scott

Where the tenons drawbored? I.e. the hole in the tenon was offset respective to the one in the mortise so as tu pull the joint shut. I figure it would be in a situation like this.

Based on how the pin came out, I don't think they refer offset. I've seen offset holes in post and frame construction in buildings, but I don't think there's enough mass in the pin to be able to withstand the force of a joint like that. What I did notice is the hole at the front was wider than the hole at the back and the pin was tapered. I hope that answers your question. Scott

Yo dawg I heard you like clamps... Seriously though, great work. In hindsight, should you have doweled the split tenon? Or maybe some long brad nails from a pneumatic nailgun?

There's no mechanical reinforcement required for repairing the tenons. In fact, adding metal will damage the piece when there's movement from people sitting on the settee.

Can I use vinigar on any type of glue or only on hide glue?

It works a little on PVA (carpenter's glue). It won't work on epoxy. Does that answer your question? Scott
