How can I remove felt tip pen from a wooden chair without taking off the paint?
Question
My son has a wooden chair with a picture of Thomas The Tank Engine on it, but he scribbled on it with a felt tip pen. I didn't notice straight away and the pen has dried and now won't wash off. How can I get it of without damaging the paint on the chair?
Answer
try hairspray. Spray a little underneath first to check that it won't damage the paint, if it's OK then spray a little over the felt tip mark, leave for a few seconds and wipe off with a clean cloth.

east coast wooden high chair - i need replacement straps?
Question
Hi, I have an East Coast wooden high chair which has broken straps. I cannot seem to find any replacement straps on the web, nor the manufacturers website - can you help me find either the manufacturers website or a link to replacement straps please? Thanks!
Answer
Hi there,
Take a look at the high chair straps available from Rockler woodworking, and see if the match those on your existing chair. Even if they don't match exactly, it'll likely be a cinch to remove the old straps and replace them with these, securing the new ones (with screws) in the appropriate places.

What does anyone of sound mind EVER choose to buy a chair with a wooden seat?
Question
I am sat in a pub on a wooden seat. So uncomfortable!
Why does anyone ever think that anyone would ever feel comfortable sat on an un-cushioned seat?
Answer
You were in a pub.
I am sure people spill a lot there and a upholstered seat would be ruined in no time.
Even if they were to put rawhide on it it could be ripped up. So I think it was done with all that in mind.
