Shop Shot #4105
William Duffield, on the Cohansey
>A view from the shop this afternoon, of the top of my bench. I've been working on restoration of this antique Ware rocker on and off for a couple of weeks. It's a shame, but we had to destroy the original rushing in order to disassemble it. I removed all the nails from a previous botched repair, removed the screws that had reattached the rockers and plugged the stripped out screw holes, rebuilt a seat rail tenon, made a new bent back splat, and fixed some cracks and chips. Well, now it's time to reassemble it. Should I do it right and use the smelly hide glue? Naw, I'm in a hurry, and it's Friday afternoon, so I think I'll just pin the tenons and be done with it.
Hope your day went better than ours.
