Apparently this chair had enough and needed attention. Well when questioned "Can you fix it " after inspection of course the reply was, "Yes I believe we can save it" ! Thats where the band-clamp found use again. Nothing broken here, the decorative reinforcement dowel's just came loose. This nifty gadget emulates a lasso, pulling all @ once back together to re-glue it back to fruition for the next party gathering! No harm no foul , only a sore behind.....

Tip "o" the Week ; A Wooden Plug is simply a deterent to hide . Easy on the eye's to not have to look at the screw it's camouflaging . So the ability for further disguising this necessity will be appling it with the Grain before gluing it in place . Depending on the species of timber and application , all these will vary of course . Enjoy your Day !
