Repaired Rocking Chair

We had an antique rocking chair come into our shop that sustained a bad break.

A bad break

The back post was too long for the lathe, so we had to make the new turning using a different tool.

Too long for the lathe.

Warren made “wheels” to put on the wooden stick and “turned” it using the table saw.

After turning it, Warren sanded it smooth, and then attached it to the chair.

Assembled, glued, and clamped.

Good as new!
