Introduction |
| If your wooden chair's side stretcher has fallen out due to a broken dowel, use this guide for a 10 step repair that will re-insert it securely. | | A chair's side stretcher helps strengthen the chair and its vertical supports and adds visual appeal to its lower section. When excessive or uneven vertical weight is put on a side stretcher, it can break the horizontal support. | | | Oftentimes, this break is at one of the dowels holding the stretcher in. But with a few simple tools and actions, this break can easily be fixed, as demonstrated in this guide. | | | Before beginning this repair, please note that the dowel size and clamp length used in the repair are specific to the size of your chair and stretcher. Make sure to note which of the chair's leg holes are for the broken dowel and the intact dowel as well. The process will take around 20 minutes with an additional 24 hours of curing time for the wood glue. |
