Keep these things in mind when you need to repair old furniture. First, make sure you've removed all the old glue from the joint. Then check the joint to be sure there are no gaps you need to fill before gluing. Apply your glue, then clasp the joint. Be careful not to bruise the wood; use wooden pads if you need to. Wipe off all the excess glue and allow plenty of drying time.

Don't throw out that rusty old patio furniture - salvaging it can be a great weekend project. Use a wire brush or sandpaper to remove all the rust and flaky paint.Wash and dry it, then give it a good coat of metal primer. Choose a good outdoor metal paint and apply a couple coats. Invest a little elbow grease and you've got something worth saving.

Use safety brackets to secure heavy furniture to the wall and prevent accidental injury to children.

Bob visits with Alex Krutsky at the cabinet and furniture classrooms of the North Bennet Street School in Boston. Bob and Krutsky discuss the school's admissions process, which does require previous carpentry experience. Bob then examines a furniture project by student Tommy MacDonald. MacDonald's elaborate casework example is based on an original design made in Salem, Mass., in the 1780s by craftsman Henry Russ.
