    I like the trigger clamps as well, but I've noticed on new screw clamps from Irwin that the feet now have rubber or silicone coverings on them whereas my older ones were just bare and so needed a piece of scrap between them and the wood surface to keep from accidently denting the surface. I just bought a pair of the 18" ones as they were about ten bucks cheaper than their comparably sized trigger clamps.

    If you get a chance check out the Piher Quick clamps. I got Besseys, and I got Irwins, ........ and yesterday I had my first Pihers, same size models. I my opinion way better than Besseys and Irwins, more power, and much easier to get the max. power pressed. On Besseys and Irwins I press, and come to a small end point, where no more pressure will be built up. On the Piher I can add some smaller pumps, to get a max result, which is better than Bessey and Irwin. May be try one out, if you can get one for testing. But seems they are not so present in the states.

    Scott, as always, nice restoration. I'd like your opinion on something I viewed recently. A restorer (on RUclips) needed to reglue two boards in the seat of a chair. He hand sanded the mating surfaces but felt there might still be a few gaps. He made a mixture of sawdust and glue and used it to glue together the boards. As a woodworker I have done this many times to fill small gaps or cracks but I've never seen this done before and I question whether he may have compromised the joint. Granted, it is glue applied to wood but I suspect the strength of the glue was diminished greatly by the sawdust and the long term integrity of that joint is iffy at best. Your thoughts?

    • @FixingFurniture
      @FixingFurniture 13 дней назад

      Yikes. That’s not someone who knows what they’re doing. PVA glue needs a tight fitting seam to properly bond the two pieces of wood together. The sawdust in the glue is a wood filler trick some people try, but even that is a bad woodworking technique for filling voids as there are more effective ways. I hope people don’t follow that advice.

    • @leonardbutler9338
      @leonardbutler9338 13 дней назад

      @@FixingFurniture Thank you for responding Scott. It was not an instructional video, i.e., just him working, no talking or voice over, so it wasn't a situation where he advised viewers on what/how to do the restoration. In the woodworking world, I feel there is a place for the sawdust and glue technique. I've been at it 45 years but I'm human and make mistakes. It's personal choice whether to redo something or accept it and make it presentable. An example might be hand cut dovetails. Small gaps can be filled with the sawdust/glue and be practically imperceptible.
