Redo a Broken Rocking Chair and Add Something Special
Decided to redo this for my mom for mother's day and add something special for her
Takedown
Begin by taking the chair apart, remember to note where things went... or take a picture as a reference.
Gluing and Sanding
Glue the broken seat together and let dry.. Sand the pieces down
Coating and Some Assembly
Once sanded to desired smoothness, apply the linseed oil and reassemble some of the pieces
Finish Assembly and Gluing
Finish assembling the pieces gluing them in place. *note I put the rockers on backwards so she could put it closer to the wall.. it has no affect on the performance of the rocker...*
Something Special
I added something special for mom to kinda personalize it. I used carbon paper to trace the design on to the piece, then I used the Dremel tool to cut it out. I then painted it black and sanded it down to look like it was worn and has been there for some time. Then I reassembled the top piece no glue just wedged on.. after writing happy mothers day on the back..
