Day 1286 Saggy bottom.

17th February 2021

I am working on old saggy, the dresser with a droop in the middle.

I thought I could reverse it by fitting a middle lag and placing weights each side.

That did nothing at all.

The main culprit is the bottom rail, the only real alternative is to cut it out and replace it.

Kelli says it’s not really worth all the extra work as it was a free piece.

I have already made a new top for it so a bit more work to make it better is worth it, it will just take a bit longer to finish, so it will side project.

I removed the top of a buffet that had split, I thought that it might be a simple job, and as we now have three more dressers in the garage, we will concentrate on those.
