I know some of you do repairs so thought I'd post this "little" fix.
Toughest one I've done so far...
Love my dowelmax and West System epoxy..

This is what came in....

Wow! The patience of a saint and the hands of an artist.

Congratulations on a job extremely well done.

Curious if you had a chance to take close-up pictures of your repairs. I bet there's a tutorial in there.

Looks like you did a great job,I've done antique restorations for about 30 years and always enjoy a challenge. Now you just need to learn the upholstery end of things.These are a couple of pieces i've done,The Wing chair was built from the frame up.The two chairs behind were in pieces also.:)

Great stuff and inspiring to folks like me... restorer and refinisher wanna be. I'm finding myself heading down that road more and more to the point that I would like to hear from you guys how do you get better and how does it fare as a side business. I'm not looking to get rich or start a big enterprise. Anyone who can share on the topic?

[Matt Ranum]

Very nice! I for one would love to see a tutorial on repairs like this.

Just had to say that I loved the "DANGER don't touch sign". :)

[Geoffrey Smith]

Wow, very nice work. That is quite impressive!

[Jeffrey Makiel]

What a transformation! Nice.
