No matter how well built a piece of furniture is, over time, it will begin to show its age. This can be shown in wobbly table and chair legs. However, if you own a Amish table or chairs, just because a leg may become lose and begin to wobbly doesn’t mean it has to be replaced.
Wobbly chair legs can be secured by wrapping the lose end with a small strip of nylon hose or thread before applying glue to reinsert into its socket. Another way of securing it is to apply a few drops of wood expander prior to reinserting it into the socket. The same methods can be used on table legs that have become loose.
If your table wobbles because of a short leg, put a small amount of plastic wood on wax paper. Set the short leg on it and allow it to dry then just trim it down with a sharp knife and smooth with sandpaper.

I have an older dining room set that could use a couple of these ideas. It's not Amish made, though I wish it were. I have vowed that it's replacement will be.
ReplyDeleteI have 2 chairs that have the wiggle problem and have had since the day I bought it. It's not an Amish made set, that was my first mistake. I'm going to try the plastic wood to see if I can even them up. I can't believe I didn't think of this myself.
ReplyDeleteI can certainly agree that Amish made is the best. I shopped around and looked at a lot of furniture before I came back to Amish. My old table and chairs never sat right. I just put up with the wiggle. That's a thing of the past since my new set was delivered. I can't believe I put up with it as long as I did.
ReplyDeleteMy wobbly table is not the table, but an uneven floor. I'm thinking the same cure will work, so I'm going to try it.
ReplyDeleteThis is one bit of advice that I'm going to remember. I wrote it on the inside cover of my home maintenance book. That book has saved me a lot of money over the years. I'm a firm believer in DIY.
