    Isn't this what woodworking is for a whole bunch of us?
  • @egbluesuede1220
    So glad you showed this. I'm sitting at a desk made from a 25 year old table top that came from Target that my wife bought in college. I've made this into a kids coloring station, a makeshift work bench, a table, and now a desk. I just keep modifying it and I consider myself a pretty accomplished woodworker. Repurposing or repairing stuff you own is fun too. I'm sending my daughter to college this fall....hmmm. Maybe?
  • @YegresAL
    So... you're about to build new Ikea set - Theseus chair...
  • @jakes9708
    I really like seeing old items that have been repaired over the years. Those items have history, they were needed, used, and served a purpose. Reduce, reuse, recycle.
  • People bash IKEA, but I’ve had some items (notably the bent-wood chairs, and a leather couch) that lasted over 20 years of kids and constant military moves. 🤷🏻‍♂️
  • @XTremeCaffeine
    I've been watching for years now and I only now got the "I'm a Dad-A-Base" shirt joke
  • I laughed out loud when I saw your video. I literally just fixed my upstairs neighbor’s stool yesterday and it’s the exact same IKEA stool. Broke in the same place at the stretcher.
  • @TheDistur
    I don't see why fixing something would be bad if it isn't totally destroyed. Good work!
  • @dannyhale7645
    I waited through that whole video for the obligatory stool sample joke. LOL!
  • @TNH91
    Snide remark But for real, fun to see the "reuse" part of trying to make less waste. And it might inspire some people to actually repair their stuff, which spreads it. Keep it up.
  • @jrkorman
    It's Ikea - and with a bit of work, you kept it out of the landfill! Plus a couple pieces of kindling!
  • @GhaleonEB
    We call this "adding character" at our house. Lovely repair job!
  • @navret1707
    I don’t think it’s “taking credit for something IKEA did”, I think it’s more “not taking the BLAME for what IKEA did”.
  • @robby3162
    Might be cool to do a ship of theseus situation - replace each component until it's completely made with 100 year old oak. Is still an Ikea stool now? Is it an antique?
  • @Rsama60
    Nothing wrong with repairing things, even IKEA. Some decades ago I mad en oak table top for my kitchen table in the shop of friend. The frame and the legs of the table are IKEA. I still have it after 45 years and it still holds well.
  • @stevenboyd593
    The beauty boards get to be shown off and the Wabi Sabi is apropos...the reminder may spark the new stool project
