DIY furniture repair

Furniture sets the mood and atmosphere in the house. A comfortable life is impossible without comfortable armchairs, a good table, a comfortable soft bed, a large sofa. As a result of constant use, furniture often quickly breaks. Do -it -yourself furniture repair will only be rational when the causes of the breakdown are identified and the methods for their elimination are determined. Furniture made of wood may well serve you for many years, and maybe centuries, subject to the right care for it. Furniture must be repaired in a timely manner. About once a year, inspect all your furniture items at home. When repairing furniture, you need to adhere to the standard procedure. For repairing furniture with your own hands, you will need the following materials and tools: drill, sandpaper, rope, plastic syringe, wood glue. If you have a small breakdown, for example, a stool has shook, you can eliminate it with your own hands. The reason, most likely, was the weakening of stud compounds. The most reliable method of repair will be preceded by a complete disassembly of a stool. Then it will be necessary to remove all the glue from the spike and the surface of the eye, while checking the compound density. With a large gap, you can increase the spike with a piece of veneer, after processing subsequently so that it enters the eye with a slight effort. After that, the stool can be glued. In order to squeeze the glued parts more hard, fasten them with a tourniquet. If you decide to make furniture repair at home with your own hands, pay attention to the chest of drawers. When they are closed, the gap between them and from below and from above should be the same. If the guides must be leveled, you can glue the plywood strips to them. You need to do this a little away from the edge, so that it is not so noticeable. If the course of the movement of drawers is difficult, to facilitate their movement, you can grate the boxes or guide wax. If you decide to repair large furniture, then it is better to do it on the spot. However, be careful, since it can be difficult to wipe off spots from paint or glue. If you have cracked a whole woods, such a repair of furniture with your own hands is also easy. This could have happened if the countertop was simply screwed to the supporting frame with screws. You just need to replace the screws with shrinkage plates. Allow the countertop to expand and decrease independently of the frame itself. After the thing is glued up to start using it, wait for the gleet to dry. If the cabinet doors open on their own, or vice versa, they are poorly closed, the reason is most likely an uneven installation of the cabinet itself. In this case, it will be enough to put something under the legs of the cabinet, and adjust its position. If the hinged canopies of the cabinet doors are shook, then the doors can sag. First you need to tighten all available screws. If they are poorly attached in a tree, you need to replace them with new, longer. As you can see, repairing furniture with your own hands is a very simple activity! We wish you success!
