Today we strip the case.

Everyone has their own method that works for them. This is just my method.

Episode 3 - Today I am re-glueing some loose veneer on top.

My method is to score the veneer with a razor, use a putty knife to gently lift the area to get my glue syringe in far enough to dispense the glue. I lift up the opposite side and then use my putty knife to make sure there is plenty of glue. I clean up the excess glue and put a piece of painters tape over the repair. I don’t want the glue that gets squeezed out to stick to the wood I’ll use to clamp the repair. Ask me how I know 🫣

Then I’ll clamp it up trying to create some pressure at the point of the repair. We’ll see.

I’m still workshopping what to do with the hinge mechanism on the left. If you have suggestions, let me know!

Today we strip. I have a few favorites products I use when I strip a piece. Comment ‘link’ and I’ll send them over.

If you have any ideas on the dual hinge mechanism, let me know. 😉

Tomorrow we’ll glue the loose veneer.
