Your videos are very therapeutic to watch and listen to. You always do a great job too on the things you fix. 👍

Scott, I could live with either the epoxy repair or the new piece, both show your craftsmanship, the replacement overall is better looking. Thank you for sharing

I am 85 years old and have been woodworking for 51 years. I love your show and I always pick up a new trick from you. You asked which method I would use: A new piece of wood or putty the old one. I would have to ask myself "What mood are you in today 'Fester'?" If I am in the "don't bother me, leave me alone, go away, and get lost" mood so I would putty the old piece and move on. If I had a good night NOT worrying if I am going to make it through the night, I would 'boldly go forth', measure correctly, cut it correctly, stain it, fit it, and rejoice" What a damn good boy you are 'Fester' !!

In this case where the piece is removable it's a no brainer making a new piece. Especially for my limited abilities. To me you are the Bob Ross of furniture repair. Very easy to listen to and enjoy.

Very nice. I watched because I have a 100 year old Cherry card table that needs some minor repair. I am more of a fan of power tools, but really enjoyed watching a real craftsman at work.

I have always used epoxy wood putty to fill loose wood screw holes, I didn't imagine it could be used to fill the puppy toy. Thank you!

I was today years old realizing that epoxy putty can be planed by a simple hand plane. Cheers! Love your channel! It’s so educational!

These videos give me early 90s edutainment vibes and I love it so much.

I truly appreciate your professionalism. Great communicator and great videography.

[BigGoucho]

That was a masterclass. Perfect thing for an early rainy night in Scotland.

You've got a new subber!
NOT because I've furniture to repair, not because I have a full workshop full of specialty tools (which I don't), but because I'm a "handy" homeowner with lots of hobbies/interests/ household assorted repairs/modifications to do, and I have to admit, I love working with my limited tools solving repair problems and creating unique solutions. SO - here you are, obviously not only a master craftsman, but a master communicator, videographer, and know about good audio considerations, and a very pleasing personality. I've much to learn from you, and there's no better way than to "like" and "sub". MANY thanks for entering my world.

They both look okay ... and for us that don't have every species of wood sitting around ... THANK YOU

[hotmeds]

Thanks for presenting both options a definite skill builder.

I would like to say you are the bob ross of woodwork your voice and your videos are so relaxing and very educational thank you 😊

[agjohnsonandson]

Nicely done and great options for the customer. A couple of hints on the epoxy. Mohawk has colored epoxy sticks that assist with the color match. And, a chisel with a wet edge at the 15, 30, and 45 minute mark of dry time makes shaping a lot easier. Excellent job overall.

I am a 63 y.o. women with no wood working skills. I inherited a little end table from my deceased parents. They bought it in 1972. This little table reminds me of my childhood. I don't know how to describe it other than it is round with a central support column which fits into another piece of would that is carved from the center into legs. I believe it is mahogany. My Lab puppy thought one of the legs would make a nice snack and gnawed the top of the leg down. Just the top is gone. I do not have any wood working equipment. I want to hire someone to fix this in the hope that they will let me watch them do the repair so I can learn. This was an excellent video to learn how a wood worker would fix my table. I really enjoyed it.

Enjoyed video very much. I like the no foolishness in your video. Great ideas and not an irritating voice so makes it enjoyable. Thx again.

[brotherjohndavid]
