I can’t seem to find an issue or series devoted to repairing furniture (broken chair arms, wiggly legs, etc.).
Can someone please point the way?
Cheers, Eric

I can’t think of any articles in FWW. I have found both Thomas Johnson Antiques and Fixing Furniture to be two especially good YouTube sites dedicated to fixing furniture and where I would go to learn. Hope this helps.
Thanks,

There are countless books available, some generalized- "repair furniture" like a Sunset book but mostly you'll find specific books on specific aspects like refinishing, restoring antique furniture, recaning etc. I doubt you'll find it all from just one source.
I purchased a book..supposedly the definite guitar repair book, it was supposed to cover everything. The very first thing I looked up was how to reset a neck. The book stated that resetting a neck is very exacting and rather than explain how it's done said that it should be taken to a qualified repairman! So much for covering everything! I know what a reset will cost by someone that knows how. I, at the time ,had several guitars that could benefit from a reset and once restored would just barely be worth what a reset costs.
I know nobody reads anymore but libraries ( remember those!) still exist and you could probably find several books on the subject there. I would then possibly try and buy, for reference, the best of those.
Thanks,

A search on Amazon.com will turn up many books. A similar search on the internet should do the same.
Thanks,
