Just made a set of bifold barn doors. I’ve made barn doors, regular doors and bifold doors, but these are my first bifold barn doors. #woodworking

I wouldn’t. The wood filler will just break off. The only way to properly fix it would be to remake or just replace if you can find the part online

80 or 120 will be fine. Don’t go overboard just get not so scruffy looking

That wooden runner has seen better days. Might sand it a little and get rid of the splinters. Then wax.

Wooden drawer runners look like this

I assumed these drawers are in an older piece of wooden furniture. If you take the drawer out , what is guiding it while it moves? Is it a metal drawer slide, wooden runners or is the drawer box just sliding inside the chest? Whatever the case is, wax what’s rubbing. Soap will even work in a pinch.

If they are just sticking, get some paste wax and give the draw runners a good smear.

Yeah, it depends on how much it’s handled I guess. Time will tell.

They’re so thin it doesn’t take much power

The edge is fine. It’s raised and noticeable but pretty tough after a few coats of lacquer

I’ve played around with some veneer. I’m cutting it with a laser and basically turning it into a wooden sticker. Thoughts? #woodworking

It’s an upgrade that I’ll likely make later in the year.

I saw you repair slot machines. I think it’d be fun to make one. Got any ideas on how to make the inside mechanisms that could be put into a fancy wooden cabinet?

I’m a weak man. I am so easily conned by friends and family and then I never ask for anything from them later because most of the friends and family who ask me to do stuff are useless.

Wood jammed under gib in planer and exploded my blade, bent the gib and ate my piece.

Planer fixed hopefully. Chip breakers(gibs) and blades replaced. Damage mitigated. Cost? $45 in parts and $100 in time. #woodworking #failure #repairs
