Repairing Thread Inserts, etc. on an Danish Modern-Style Chair

We repair stripped out thread inserts, disassemble and re-glue, then clean and touch up the finish on a teak, Danish-Modern-style chair.

“Pilling” is correct. Funny thing I’ve had one of those fuzz shavers for years but I’ve lost track of it. Thoroughly enjoyed the video, thanks.

Nice video. I have a set of these chairs with the same insert issues. By the way, these were made by Anderstrup Mobelfabrik, model #78. From the late 70's, early 80's.

Thought I hadn't been paying attention when I didn't get new videos, glad someone else thought the same way! I'm not a crafty person, I only watch because I'm fascinated by watching the process! (And your birds when the garage door is open!)---And boy did I love the FAST WORK music...bobbed in my chair!!!

[yvettewallus]

I have those same chairs. Thanks for the info!

Thank you so much for teaching me how to repair a threaded insert. I got a desk free from Habitat for Humanity because two legs wouldn't stay in because the inserts came out. Fortunately they were still attached to the threaded end of the leg. I used gorilla glue and toothpicks but I know it is not going to last. For the last 2 weeks I kept thinking how can I make these legs solid and there you are! Greetings from NC.

You may know this but the paint that is so frequently on the legs of furniture comes from the vacuum cleaner hitting painted baseboards and then the legs of furniture. Glad to know an easy way to remove the paint. Your videos are so good now! Look forward to each new one.

Larry there's always different ways to repair something and l have never known you to not fix something and have it done right if you were to fix something for me I would not worry with it at all Knowing it was repaired to last thanks for another great video one of the best

Thank you for making this video. I just got my Mother's Singer treadle and I hope to refurbish it. I didn't know where to begin. You have helped me see where to start.

[monicapeterson]

This is exactly what I needed! I was going to use kwikwood to put the inserts back in but it’s good to know that that was the right way to go about it! Thank you

Good, informational video.  Always great to see your stuff.  I'm not even an MCM or Danish Modern fan but that chair looks great.

See any/much Gibbard? Shocking (heartbreaking) to see how undervalued these heritage furniture pieces are currently - collecting as much as I can! Love your videos so much.

[dyana]

Thanks for the video. Very informative as always. To tell you the the truth, I go through some of your videos almost weekly as I approach a project, just for goodluck and process encouragement. 👌

Larry, I have a 4 chair, pique topped game table set I got from my Step mum when she moved, Been in the family for as long, long time. Same sort of upholstery so it might be late 60's early 70. Needs refinishing and HOLE repair!!! My late Dad L bracketed everything back together, going to try to not do that puttng them all back together. Had to un-assemble to pack and ship. I have been wondering what had become of you. Good to see a vid. Your always a font of information and I for one and there are many more who truely appreciate it.
