Fix a Wobbly Chair How-To
1. Separate joints. Drill a small hole, at an angle, through the end of the stretcher (the bar between chair legs) and into the hollow pocket in the chair leg.

2. Inject glue through the hole into the hollow space. Push chair parts back into place.

3. Clean glue that has dripped from joint.

4. Band together with rope. Wrap twice around and tie tightly. Twist rope, using dowel, until tight. Set dowel against chair stretcher to keep it from unraveling.
