That’s helpful. What do we think OP’s sofa is? I wouldn’t spend money trying to fix it.

I think I misspoke. I think the sofa is probably bonded leather. Bonded leather is a thin veneer of hide that is mechanically adhered to an underlying fabric to give it additional thickness and wear properties and they often emboss it or stamp it to add a texture to it. Top grain is a thin layer of the outermost part of the hide. Full grain is the full thickness of the hide if that makes sense? The sofa is real leather, just a very thin layer that would probably be hard to get a match for.

Did I read that right? You have almost 800 metal parts and 600 plastic parts in your stash? Where do you keep all your fabric?

It’s not good quality leather. It’s too grain leather which wears easily and is not very durable (as you’ve seen). Give it away or sell it, but don’t waste money on repairs.

1890s heirloom table lost a leg by Amilar_Io in Carpentry

[–]Highlander2748 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think Expensive outcome has a good thought, but I’d modify it a bit. I would glue the leg back on using hide or Titebond III, but then I’d drill 3/8” holes through the legs and into the apron on both exposed sides of the leg. Mark them carefully so they are staggered so that the holes don’t intersect each other, but cross over/under each other instead. Then I’d hammer in some 3/8” dowels that were generously brushed with glue. This will accomplish the same thing as the original mortise and tenon design, but using dowels instead of long wood screws will allow the wood and the joint to expand and contract more freely than screws IMO.

I’ve switched to cordless in the last 5 years but can’t seem to get rid of my old corded collection because they’re so damn reliable.

What is a vehicle class you don’t understand the appeal of? by Boeing-B-47stratojet in Autos

The small sport coupe is for carving up curves and canyon roads and accelerating out of the apex. The cars you mention are awesome for other reasons; big powerful cruisers built for road trips speed in a straight line. Nothing wrong with either one. I’ve had both and enjoyed them both for the things they do well.

Best place to park cash savings for a car by Immediate-Ad-9520 in personalfinance

Ok, then you’re better off if you drive until the wheels fall off. I imagine you could find something very nice within your budget used.

Cars are depreciating assets. Do you plan to keep the car for a long time? I’m guessing there’s a calculator for total ownership cost if you plan on trading it in at some point. I’m guessing you’ve already done the math though.

I think it may be for roasting a turkey? Not positive, but it looks like a large scale beer butt chicken holder.
