Advice for repair of wood stool
Trying my hand at the repair of an Amish made wooden stool for a friend.
Two years ago, one of the rungs broke out so I turned a replacement and
put it back with some good old yellow glue.
Now the rung on the other side of the stool has broken. Turned another
one and then noticed something I didn't while doing the repair last
time. Every rung and legs has a Kreg screw angled into the joint from
the bottom. I removed the screws and found all but one were broken. I
think they did more damage to the joints than they helped. Stool came
apart rather easily at this point. I've cleaned up the rungs and legs
as well as the matching sockets.
So, two questions. Would you use good old yellow glue or would something
else be better suited? Screws or no screws? Thanks in advance for the
wisdom.
