The Chair

It has been a while since I have worked in my shop. Today the weather was perfect. One of the dining room chairs needed to be repaired.




First, I had to drill out the old dowels with a bit 1/16 to 1/8 smaller than the dowel.




Then, I used a bit the size of the dowel to dislodge leftover old glue and dowel.




After getting into the chair a bit, I realized most of the joints could stand to be reworked. Lots of broken and loose dowels




This is the dry fit




Final glue up
