Renovated old bentwood chairs. Restoration of fasteners.

A situation when you need to recover space for fasteners most often occur in the repair of old furniture. Next, the example of the repair of the old Viennese chair, I'll tell you what you can do.

So there is a chair which mount the lower arc is broken. Moreover the tip of the screw remains in the hole.

First you need to completely remove the arc. When removed, the screw under the seat unscrew easily, while the screw in the second leg was hit by a screwdriver slot and it just does not cling. This can be easily remedied by using machined slot range for the drill.

When the arc removed to extract a piece of the screw. You can use a piece of thin tube, for example from the antenna and to the tube can be clamped in a drill, you need to find a suitable rod, such as a piece of nail. For thin tubes of 5-6 mm in diameter, it's real.

Doug shot not only to drill the chip, but also to check the rest of mounting locations.

Then just drill screws chip. When deepening the tube in the bore of the tree just a bummer.

The result was such a thing. The photo can be seen in the selection extracted chip.

And from then on simply - reams drill holes 8 mm in order to you can paste dowel or something like that.

I glued a round rod with a diameter of 8 mm, and to saw off her and not to damage the stem, you can use this method: nazhdachki in the piece is a hole, sandpaper grain wears down this hole on the wand and then this stick It saw off.

Grind place saw cut is applied arc and screws do markup. It is enough to insert a screw into the hole and lightly knock on it.

For marking thin drill hole envisage a screw. Further it is possible to screw a bit and unscrew the screw and assemble the chair.

Sometimes the broken holes glued matches or toothpicks. It turns quickly, but not for long. It is better to spend a little more time and paste dowel at least 8 mm in diameter. Chipboard is better to use dowels 10-12 mm., But also nice to 8 mm. Since the dowels are made of hardwood (beech), the screws will hold reliably.

The process of repair is recorded on video, and maybe it will be more clearly for you.
