I can’t get this off! I used it for my shower rack it’s from Amazon and now I can’t get it off the tile!!
It broke my blade too! HELP I’m moving out in 2 weeks

Looking for the name of this metal mounting piece. The mount broke yesterday and replacing is odd as this fits a futon that folds in the middle (hence the weird bump).

TIA!

Aha that rhymes.

Anyway just got this off the curb. I have no furniture repair experience outside basic stuff. Sanding off the old paint I know how to do but I need to know the best way to go about the split in half seat.

This is a beloved stool, and I was wondering if this will ever be able to be fixed to hold my 200+lbs again.

Just wondering if I should do a cosmetic fix or a full proper repair.

Thank you!

This dresser came from my wife's grandmother's house. She says it's over 100 years old, probably.

I'm thinking I could just wood glue and clamp it together, but I'm worried that given how high this leg sits and the horizontal torque that it'll be take.

I was thinking maybe I could put a metal peg/dowel in it? It then becomes a challenge on drilling a straight the hole with no flat edges to align to.

Do ya'll think wood glue would be enough or do you have advice on how to reinforce it?

Hi! I recently bought this used wood dresser and cannot figure out what the wood is. I have cleaned and sanded most of it, and am likely going to prime and paint outside and buff/wax inside.

Your info and tips are welcome!

I bought a nice table yesterday and scratched and dinged it up on the way home. I am pretty upset with my stupid mistake. Looking for advice on how to fix/repair this. I have next to zero experience with repairing wood. Any advice is greatly appreciated. If this is not the right sub for this please point me in the right direction and I don’t know who to ask.

The scratches seem pretty surface level and are not deep at all. The corner seems like a much bigger task. I am open to learner and getting the required equipment, thank you in advance!

Any way to repair this chipping black paint? Or at least ensure it doesn't continue? It appears in multiple spots around the frame of the lowboy.

TIA!

Hi everybody!! I have a rather large mirror that seems to have lost its war against gravity. Thankfully the kitty is okay and nobody else seems to have been home when it happened, but I now don’t know what to do with this massive hunk of glass or the frame. Is it repairable for a novice with access to hardware stores, or would this be something I should hire a pro for? Or is it just time and I need to give it a Viking funeral ahaha. Thankfully it’s not sentimental, $20 from a yard sale, but it is one of the first pieces of decor I ever bought for my condo and so I’m fond of it. Also some bits of the bottom left corner broke off, probably when the hook gave up the ghost.

Picture 1 is how I found it, 2-3 are the two pieces it broke into, and then the close-ups are of the corner joins and the damage from the drop. The last pic is from when I bought it.

Any help is appreciated!! Lmk if you need better pics, I tried lol.

Hey everyone,
I’ve had a rack for pull-ups installed in my door, but it fell down accidentally twice, when I shut down the door forgetting, that it was hanging there… the result is visible in the pictures.

The rack left some ugly dents in the floorboards. Is there any way to fix dents like this? I thought about a vacuum pulling method or is it unlikely to work with wood?

Thanks in advance!

ive been sitting on this really cheap cushion desk chair i got from china. recently i noticed it began to tilt downward to the right and upon inspecting the support brackets holding up the chushions i found this one little thing that was crooked. you can get a good look at it in image 3. ive tried googling and reverse image searching it but it keeps giving me irrelevant results. 4th and 5th images are the best shots i could get of whats inside of it. this part is what holds the backrest in place, its able to leanback all the way into a lying down position. if anyone knows what those circular things are or better yet how to fix this without comepletely dismantling it that would be nice.

The doors on this cabinet seem to be some sort of composite or plastic (see pic 2). The door got kicked open and the side chipped where the hinge screws are. I can't find the pieces that broke off.

What's the best thing to use to fill this? Some kind of wood filler or bondo? Needs to be strong enough to hold the hinge screws.

Hey guys! So I have those outdoor chairs that broke due to weather conditions throughout the years. I'm looking for a way to repair them before replacing them. Is there any? All of them look like the one I uploaded here. Any advice is appreciated!

Hi all, I would love some advice! I inherited this old school writing desk when I moved into my house, but the front door/desk part broke off when moving it (wasn’t attached and fell open too quickly, snapped off at the hinges). I don’t need it and was going to sell it but now I’m wondering is it worth repairing, or is that even possible with how it’s broken off? Or should I just give it away for free? I don’t know how much these are worth in good condition, maybe nothing, but it’s pretty bad damage and I don’t have the know-how to do a really good fix 🥲 Thanks in advance!!

Sorry for the bad photo, but this is something on Facebook that I'm interested in but my husband pointed out this worn edge of the table. How could we repair this? I really like this set. Thanks!!

We JUST got this table a few days ago.... And I already messed it up. 😞

There are cloudy white patches from it.

How do I fix this? There was a box that holds little things that got acetone on it and then it got on the table. When I tried to clean it, it took some of the color away.

Please help, I feel really bad about this.

A few days ago I noticed this split forming on one of the legs of my dining room table. What be would the best way to fix it? I have some trim screws that I could put into the back. I’ve drawn an example of what I’m thinking on of the pictures. Please let me know what you think!

How can I best fix this chair? Will I need a dowel + wood glue/epoxy fix for the bottom? And will I need to redo the hole for the screw that’s been stripped out? For reference, I have never fixed a chair before, so my experience + skill level are nil. Thank you! *sweats profusely through a smile*
