AN ESSENTIAL PART OF US

Personally, I’ve lived in many different places since a child. Even now in my late 20’s, I can still remember what it feels like to come home. As you should all know, there really isn’t a better feeling to describe. There’s a certain warmth and comfort that comes with feeling like you are where you rightfully belong.
For many folks it isn’t just a couch, its so much more. For some, it may be something that has been around for generations. It could have been a hand built rocking chair passed down by your great grandfather or maybe it was an antique you bought ten years ago while visiting another country. The point is there’s a lot of sentimental value when it comes to the items in ones home. Like Pictures, there can be hundreds of different memories that lay within something as simple as a sofa or one’s favorite chair.

Place the T-plate on the couch frame, inserting the protruding end into the hole from the T-nut. These are special T-plates designed for sofa legs and are square with a threaded hole in the center. Tap the T-plate flush with the hammer. Insert 1-inch screws in each of the four drilled holes in the plate. Drive the screws into the frame using a drill/driver. Screw the leg back onto the frame using the new T-plate.

UNSCREW THE LEGS AND APPLY THE BANDAGE CAREFULLY

Tip the couch on its back. Unscrew the leg using a counterclockwise motion.
Grasp the base of the bolt with pliers. Unscrew the bolt from the leg.
Insert the tip of a putty knife into any crack or split and pry it apart. Apply glue to the crack or split. Then rub the glue into the crack with your finger until saturated. Remove the putty knife.
Drill a hole through the leg using a drill/driver and 3/8-inch bit. Drill perpendicular to the crack, all the way through the leg. If the crack is longer than 4 inches, drill two, evenly spaced holes.
Apply wood glue to the hole. Place a clamp across the crack and apply pressure. Insert a 3/8-by-3-inch dowel into the hole. Tap the dowel with a hammer until the dowel extends equally from both sides of the leg. Allow the glue to dry for at least one hour and remove the clamp.
Cut off the exposed ends of the dowel using a coping saw. Sand the ends lightly using 100-grit sandpaper. Color the ends of the dowels with a matching putty crayon.
Screw the threaded bolt back onto the leg. Screw the leg back onto the sofa frame.
