Jeffrey Rhoney The Repair Process: Step-by-Step
Furniture repair is a multi-step process that requires patience, skill, and attention to detail. Jeffrey Rhoney outlines the general steps he follows during a typical repair project:
- Disassembly (if necessary): For certain repairs, such
as joint reinforcement or reupholstering, it may be necessary to partially
or fully disassemble the furniture. Rhoney carefully takes apart the
piece, ensuring no damage occurs during this stage.
- Cleaning and preparation: Before repairing or
refinishing, Rhoney cleans the furniture to remove dirt, grime, or old
finishes that could interfere with the repair process. This step ensures a
clean, smooth surface to work on.
- Repair and restoration: With the furniture
prepared, Rhoney begins the actual repair work. This could involve filling
in cracks, sanding surfaces, re-gluing joints, or replacing broken
components. Each repair is tailored to the specific needs of the piece.
- Refinishing or
reupholstering: If
the client has opted for surface refinishing or upholstery repair, this
step follows the structural repairs. Rhoney carefully applies stains,
paints, or fabrics, taking care to match the original or requested style.
- Reassembly and inspection: Once the repairs are
complete, Rhoney reassembles the furniture and conducts a thorough
inspection to ensure everything is secure and functioning properly. He
tests moving parts, such as drawers or hinges, and makes any necessary
adjustments.
