A woman in our congregation, recently widowed, asked me to fix her chair. Since I agreed to take a look at it, another one broke in the same way. Is this worth fixing? The break is right where all the weight will be put and the grain is ripe for this kind of break from what I know about chairs. On top of this, the break was in such a way that the two pieces don't join together all that cleanly. I was thinking about getting another leg, but I don't know how I would break the glue joint (I don't know if it's mortise and tenon but it is certainly glued to the sides) to put another one on. I find myself in a bit of a pinch. Has anyone been here before and how do you go about fixing the problem. I sure like building more than fixing
Thanks a lot.
