Y’all are as bad as Reddit. Yes I see it. No it’s not intentional.

 
 

Thank you! The seat was an old dining room chair that was trash picked and not worth repairing. The legs were turned from pallet wood.

Lathe was the only power tool used.

I think you are on to something here. Saw online somewhere that thin veneers can be made by edge planing a board. The strip can then be glued and wrapped around the tenon to take up the extra space. Think this is what I’ll try.

 

I’m repairing a chair and the joints are a bit on the loose side. I was hoping to try Titebond liquid hide glue to put it back together for the long open time and to make future repairs easier. Does anyone know if hide glue fills gaps better than pva? I know epoxy is usually the go-to for gap filling but I’d rather give myself more time than epoxy usually allows if possible.

Alternatively, is there anything I can put in the joint (like fabric) that would tighten it up?

 

There doesn’t seem to be a straight forward way to set up a tv tuner.

I’m also dual wielding. I think the only thing really keeping me on plex is there doesn’t seem to be a straight forward way to set up a tv tuner.

The only difference with the Danish oil is the addition of some varnish. Apply enough coats and it’ll start to build up and might help a little with stain resistance. Otherwise you would need something more durable like a film finish. I think maybe laquer or a CA finish would work well for oil/grease resistance.

Some people don’t put any finish on handles and let natural oils from their hands build a patina. If you don’t like the look then some kind of film finish is probably what you need.

I just try different handle shapes until I find ones I like.

In the US most woodturning/woodworking supply stores carry kits. In this case I took the guts from a Harbor Freight screwdriver, turned a new handle out of cherry, filling the cracks with colored epoxy, made a ferrule from a brass plumbing fitting, and put it all together. The handle is finished with Danish oil.
