Repair Work  (post #168091)

A customer brought a post war chair in for repair.  Said she wanted it tightened and re-varnished but it has to be done the old way.  I broke out the appropriate tools - my Atlas Compresser - varnish from the back of the cabinet - and some save a chair fasteners.

I'm not sure if I should use the Martins or the Mollers - any suggestions?

Clamps (post #168091, reply #1 of 1)

Your cam clamp may be a bit short and too old for this project.   I have four of those that are 24" long Pat'd Feb 8. 81.   So that makes them too old to be used on a post war period repair. ;-) 

You didn't mention which war!   Probably OK for Post Civil War or  Spanish/American War.

Work Safe,  Count to 10 when your done for the day !!
