Island Restorations

The Unilocal heading says «Damage Restoration,» but I found Mike’s ad in a local newsletter as Furniture Repair, and that’s where he is in the local yellow pages. I took a 70 year old wood kitchen chair to him, which was broken where the cross piece bracing the legs joined a leg– an overenthusiastic guest had leaned back and broken the leg at the narrow part, which also happened to be where the cross piece joined. It looked pretty hopeless, because the leg was so narrow through the area broken that it didn’t look like much could be done to brace it. But Mike managed to get a slender metal support up into the leg, and somehow also reattach the cross– brace in the same area, and did it so well, I’m still puzzling over exactly which leg it was! It supports normal weight, and as long as no one leans back on the back two legs again, I expect it to go another 70 years. Thanks Mike!!!
