Sometimes it's better to learn from someone else's mistakes. This broken rocking chair was perviously repaired, but the repair failed. Why? It wasn't repaired properly. Scott shows a pattern of failed furniture repairs using dowels. He explains why they failed and shows how to repair this rocking chair properly to share the knowledge and understanding of furniture repair.

We believe the craft of furniture repair is disappearing so we're sharing these skills for more people to learn, be successful in their projects, and perhaps even start their own business to provide a service for their community.
