Small Rocking Chair Repair

  A while ago my Brother picked this chair up from the side of the road.  It is not too badly broken except it is missing the connecting piece from the back,  a missing and a broken spindle on the bottom section too but that is the easy repair.

    



  The broken spindle is easily repaired with glue, I believe. I put a replacement in on the other side and 


  

  glued the bottom parts together with Gorilla Glue  For things like this I like a glue that expands to fill voids. I have also found that bungee  cords as well as clamps hold legs while the glue dries.


  The missing piece is cut from a piece of oak and ready to be ground into shape. Maybe tomorrow.

  cheers ianw
