This is a new edition of Repairing and Restoring Furniture, and gives detailed instructions for woodworking projects ranging from smartening up shabby 1950s furniture to the rigorous demands of conserving a valuable antique. It also covers many common repair jobs such as re-making loose joints, stripping off an old finish, dealing with warped surfaces, and repolishing. Sections are included on upholstery and repairs to sprung furniture, veneering, carving, turning, and tool-sharpening, and an historial guide is provided to help anyone needing to check the authenticity of constructional or decorative details.
