1960's Rocker


With every new design comes 
new engineering that is meant to speed up production 



unfortunately when production is sped up
quality falls. 



This 1960's chair uses nuts and bolt system to 
secure the major components together.
The problem occurs when you have a lose
nut.


With a lose nut there is additional force placed on 
the joints for which they were not designed, resulting 
in failure. 


My plan was to fill the open pockets
with fitted pieces of hard wood
then to reattach the backrest with 
heavy duty screws.


With the repairs complete it was reassembled 

A fresh coat of Murphy's oil
it's ready for another 50 years.
