Ok, now we have the seat glued up; and it?s off to the side here drying. I'm going to
put our pad back down, but before you pad the down - I've already done this - you have
to look all around your bench and see if any glue drips are left. So once you've made sure
your surface here is clean of old glue, put the pad back down. Now that we have the pad
back down, we're ready to start disassembling the chair. Now one thing about an old chair
that you'll have to watch for is nails. On this chair, somebody came and thought they
were repairing it and they drove little nails through the joints. These will have to be
taken out or dealt with before you can take the chair apart. So, if you do find some nails
and they're just little bitty nails, most times they can be defeated simply by pounding
on the chair and letting the nail bend in the joint and then you take it out with some
pliers. If its a bigger nail, it'll have to be taken out from the outside and we can talk
about that in a while. This chair has the nails removed so we're going to start with
the disassembly.
