It can be difficult to understand if broken wood should be repaired, replaced, or if the whole piece of furniture should be thrown in the trash. I demonstrate how to use judgement to decide how strong a broken piece of wood will be after a repair. It depends on how the wood is broken, what it's used for in the furniture, and what type of glue you will use.

I show four examples of broken pieces of furniture to repair:
A broken chair back that I thought I would replace, but I ended up repairing the break
A broken chair leg that can't be repaired, so the chair is trash
A broken chair leg with the wood splintered off, which I glued together
A broken chair leg with wood missing, where I patched in a new piece of wood
