McIntosh Chair Repairs 3 - Rebuilding the legs of chair 2

On chair 2, the puppy had completely chewed away the legs where the rails were mortised into them. I turn to a power router to let in new teak, reform the mortises, and assemble the chair.

A great solution to a very difficult repair Mitch.

[@mitchwoodwork]

Thank you Martin. It was this or make new legs. The owner was pleased, which is always a good result.

The tight fit of the oval chair rails at the end is really impressive. Also the dovetail key is a strong and very clever patch. Well done you!

Nicely done.

[@mitchwoodwork]

Thanks. I contemplated doing it all by hand, but I think this way ended up faster and easily as good.

Nice. How would you have approached the repair if you did not have an electric router?

[@mitchwoodwork]

Almost certainly the same way. Clamping paring guides either side of the cut outs to ensure a flat base. A router plane setup could also be used, but I think in this situation it would be overly complex. The ends could be sawn at the compound angle with a fine cross cut saw.
