Antique dining chair restoration

The project:

Description: Fixed antique chair for my dining room.

- Materials:

Tools and materials used: Power drill and drills, Bunnings PVA wood glue, Bunnings 100mm woods screws, Bunnings 100mm 240v angle grinder.

- Tools:

See above.

- Step 1:

Steps: I got this old chair from a kerbside cleanup in Forbes NSW. The top had broken off and the man didn’t want it so all I had to do was saw off the broken dowels, drill holes for some screws and Bunnings PVA glue and screw the back and top back on. However, the screws stuck out a bit so I rounded them off with a 100 mm electric angle grinder I purchased from Bunnings for $32.98, which was an ABSOLUTE BARGAIN, let the glue dry overnight, and HEY PRESTO! A perfectly good antique chair! I couldn’t be happier! Thankyou Bunnings Warehouse and my new friend at Forbes NSW!

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @johnnyman1. Many thanks for sharing your antique chair restoration with us.

It's always satisfying to see a quality piece of furniture given a second chance rather than ending up in landfill. It sounds like a straightforward repair, but the end result is a chair you'll be able to enjoy for years to come.

Thanks again for sharing your project.
