When She Who Must Be Obeyed says, "We can do that...", you know who "we" is...Our old dining room table was nice, but it wasn't the right style. It was also too small for the size of this dining room - it looked like you were transported back to kindergarten where everything is undersized.
We found a better/larger table & chairs at H and B, but the chairs needed some work. The back legs on most of them were loose. Because I only have one set of bar clamps, I've been fixing one chair a day for the last several weekends. The dining room has become a makeshift workshop while I take the take the seat off, gently separate the sides and front legs from the back, re-glue the joints, screw them back together, clamp them up, and let the glue dry overnight. The next morning the clamps are removed, the seat is re-installed, and I do it all again on the next one. After having fixed ten of them, I can get one done before everyone else is up for breakfast...
