Like will it go back to that dented form or will it expand more over time?Hi there!
I simply removed the top, checked that the carcass was square, cut mortises for the buttons in the front and back rails, and re-attached the top.

I recall many if these activators being acetone primarily. That’s why I use West Systems epoxy. In this blog post I’m going to break the cardinal rule of furniture making. Though one might be able to simply fill a spray bottle with some acetone and get a similar result as the non-aerosol version, and save some money in the process.Thanks for the video. Getting that fixed made me feel a lot better.There are a lot of woodworking mistakes in this table as I’ve shown you, but it still looks pretty good. Will filling the knot with CA stabilize it and how will it affect the finish if I use dye and stain?I guess the CA may help stabilize the knot to some extent. It provides lateral support to the top of the front legs. The nightstand was dead square during my dry fits. The more pressing problem was that I didn’t really know what sharp was! What this really meant was that the shoulders of the tenons were cut about 3/8” too far. I don’t have access to a planner. As for transtint, I just use the liquid stuff, which is compatible with alcohol and water. One pin is centered, and the other two are between the center and the ends of the tenon. It is similar to the old techniques for sizing canvas for painting.It relies on the fact that rabbit skin glue (canvas), hide glue (sealing) and unflavored gelatin (this technique) are all forms of collagen.I’ve used this technique on large carvings, including to stabilize knots. I have used several of these on the Morris chair build. I also should have just been more careful.The best thing I could have done to fix this mistake would have been to simply make a new panel. Thanks! That sounds like a recipe for future problems. Thank you for such valuable information!
If possible, find the torn out chunk or a piece that will fit right into the missing area, so it will blend naturally, and glue it back in place.

Thank you for your advice.There are a number of ways. I can hardly believe how much I’ve learned since I started building these nightstands. Hits: 4122 The nature of wood is ever changing and sometimes it is hard to use, other times easy but in most cases it is pretty forgiving, especially when it comes with inherent defects that either formed by the tree it'self, of were created by other elements like rot, insects or other burrowing animals or things. I am talking 4″ piece of tear out and the board split along the grain nearly 12″!! In this case the strength of the joint relies only on the glue bond, and has no mechanical support.Realistically, this probably won’t be a problem, at least not for a long time. The Wood Whisperer abides by word of mouth marketing standards and holds integrity in the highest regard. Sounds like something to include in “Fixing Mistakes Pt. To prevent the legs from collapsing inward, the rail itself provides the support. Just depends on what you have access to. Just killing time yesterday I watched this video and thought “oh yeah, I’ve heard of that before…”.This morning I used the steam to lift the dent. That said, on wood this figured, particularly oak, I don’t even attempt smooth planing. A few questions about the wood filler technique: 1-) As you mentioned, they come in a variety of colors; if you can’t match your wood perfectly, are you better off going lighter or darker? I am wondering will having that extra moisture in just that one area affect the joint at all later after installation?
I did it by gluing and clamping the split and making the tear out worse to make it better with a new piece of wood.
2-) What type of crayons do you use to draw wood grain? The sad part is that glue on end grain, such as tenon shoulders, tends not to hold well, so my overuse of glue wasn’t even helpful to the joint.When I glue tenons into mortises now, I only apply glue to the inside of the mortise. I really wanted to build the nightstands without a rail below the front of the drawer, so I designed it not to need one. Turns out, that’s not a good idea.
Futhermore, the breadboard ends need to be a little longer than the width of the panel, so as the panel swells with moisture, it does not exceed the ends of the breadboards. Since you did this video last week, I may be too late to the party, but I have two questions. how to fix woodworking mistakes-Woodworking In 2020. by .
