Did I Make a Mistake? Let's Talk About It – Rocking Horse Restoration Follow-Up

This follow-up to Episode 3 dives deeper into one of the biggest challenges in the G & L Lines Rocking Horse restoration — getting all four legs reattached so the horse sits flat and true.

After a few great comments from viewers, I realized this topic deserved more attention. In this 30-minute breakdown, I walk you through the complications I faced — including the original mortise and tenon joints, the tight tolerances, and the fact that all four legs are now permanently glued.

With close-up shots and honest commentary, I explore what I could’ve done differently, the risks of altering original parts, and why I’m committed to preserving as much of the original craftsmanship as possible.

This video isn’t just about problem-solving — it’s about opening the floor for discussion. If you were working on this horse, what would YOU do?

Drop your thoughts in the comments — I’d love to hear how other craftsmen and restorers might approach this challenge.
