Making a big insert to replace the damaged wood around a torn out threaded insert, and some extra rpeairs on this couch woodgears.ca/repairs/couch.html
I built a cart for my bandsaw - I was actually wondering which green paint is Matthias Green ? Does he mention or show the shade and brand of his paint can in any of his videos ? He needs to write an FAQ on woodgears.ca.
@@Shibzzeg If I remember correctly he has tendonitis in his wrists and elbows that was getting worse the more he worked. He never took off of work long enough for it to completely heal.
I really enjoy fixing things. Giving them new, extended life. I really appreciate videos like this because the troubleshooting and making a plan on how to do something is the creative part and I can learn much from how you approach it.
As soon as he said that, I figured the next sentence would be something like "but then I decided to use an intricately shaped mortise and tenon joint that will improve lateral stability instead". Making the inlay with the router was pretty cool though. Reminded me a bit of something the samurai carpenter would do.
One thing I love about your videos is the honesty.... everyone, and I mean EVERYONE has things that don't come out right. I think watching the creative approaches you take helps me keep batting those challenges repairs, builds and make-overs that make this hobby fun... keep it up!!
Gosh, thank you Matthias. I have learned so much from you and usually am overwhelmed by what you accomplish. To hear you say “not a perfect job” lets me know you ARE human after all. Great channel, Matthias, my sincere thanks to you.
I understand the human weakness of seeing what's wrong, rather than what's right. Every project I do has a flaw and that's what I see when I look at it. Good fix. I always learn some technique when I watch you videos. Thanks for what you do.
These are some of my favorite videos you post. Love all the repair related stuff. You have such a lovely way of fixing things. Don't get me wrong I love everything you post!
Would just like to say, these videos really tickle a part of my brain that enjoys watching logical procedures sought through from start to finish. You definitely make me appreciate engineering type mindfulness regarding these types of projects thanks Matthias
You do an excellent job on every repair you undertake IMHO Matthias, so don't sell yourself short. What may not be exactly the best for your standards, may be much better than many of us could ever accomplish ;o(
Thank you Matthias, you've taught me something new today... I never knew it was easier to screw the bolts in to those thread inserts first and then screw the whole thing in to the cavity! I always used a large flat bladed screw driver and wondered why a lot of my thread inserts would get destroyed that way! :)
I wonder what's worse? Knowing there are pocket screws in there, or knowing there are visible gaps. Caveat: after putting in pocket screws to clos up all the gaps, the entire couch is warped and needs a 1 inch leveler on two of the legs to take out the rock. Or build a giant steam pot to straighten the couch?
I have a simple video idea for you: I've noticed in some of your videos inside the house that you have little home-made solutions for this and that. I'd LOVE to see a video on those things you've made about the house to fulfill various needs. Sometimes it's the minor, simple solutions that are the most inspiring.
Well there's a positive side to this problem, at least you can fix it the right way. Plus when you are done it will be good as new and safer for your family. Keep up the great work Thanks for sharing and God bless
Gruß aus dem Norden deutschlands. Sehr gut, wie du die position für die löcher markiert und anschließend so wiedergefunden hast. Hab ich noch nie gesehen. Vielen dank für den Tipp. Werde ich mir merken.
Have you seen these factory dowel operations with a water-activated glue? The glue is in the dowel, water added to the hole, then joined. They’re really error prone. May be the culprit. Great fix as always!
One of the few youtubers that shows their entire process including mistakes. Which is frustrating, because we all learn more from mistakes than from successes.
Did not expect to see a Ekornes sofa on that side of the pond, the factory where this is made is located in Sykkylven, Norway. About 20 minutes from my home . That was one darned expensive sofa at one point in time :)
