Another project with Al - repairing an old Church pew. I acquired this church pew sometime in the early 2000s. See this link from 2013 for my $10 fix.
Some pictures from the 2013 project:
Pictures from before the project started in 2024:
I decided it was time to fix the pew up right and Al was willing to do a lot of the work and use his shop. Below are some pictures of the process/project:
STEP 1: Disassembly, sanding and gluing.
STEP 2: Rounding the edges. The pew had sharp edges, especially on the arm rest.
STEP 3: Al made some brackets/bracing to solidify the pew when we reassemble. This will be more clear in final shots.
STEP 4: Removing clamps, more sanding, new base. Al made some nice trim pieces to hide the defects on the bottom of the pew.
STEP 5: Walnut Stain - we used the walnut stain left over from the ice box -> liquor cabinet project.
FINAL WALKAROUND!
