the only pieces with borer were the corner blocks in the seat and a rail to attach fabric.
these are easily recut
the main frame is south american mahogany, not a exit hole to be found.

PS see my wonderfully innovative idea for stripping shellac on the finishers forum (totaly modest here but I'm rather pleased with myself)

OK
all pieces have been stripped. old glue sanded off and broken dowel drilled out
next step assembly.
will post pics
to s-m
dont drill or remove old dowels unless their broken, that is unless your confident to drill the angle exactly the same as the old one
Ive done this once and had a hell of a job putting it back together
if you sand the old glu off the old dowel and clean out the holes the new glue will be fine

I think you have to make sure you use the same glue, I believe that hide glue needs to be restuck with hide glue for a strong bond (Could be wrong though)

nah
if you get the old glue off to show bare timber, its ok
i use a tiny sanding drum on my dremmel can get down the old holes with it and in between old dowel posts
ive done this on hundreds of joints and not had a complaint and with repete customers several years later.

chair bits
some pics (i Hope) of next stage
astrid,
Yay it worked .
now dont worry about the white bits, the camera makes them worse than they are, they will dissapear after a light sand and shellac.
next step remove old glue and drill out broken dowel.
re dowel, glue and clamp.
Ill probably put a couple of coats of shellac on befor I re assemble, this makes final polish easier.
dont get it where you want the glue to go!

Hi Astrid. I would love to see some progress photos as you finish the pieces with a simple explanation of your methods or products used.
Can't wait to see a finished photo.

Forstner bits.... use Forstner bits to clean out dowel hole... They will trace well into the existing dowel hole. When there is a spindle with a broken tendon the use the forstner bit to drill ot the end and isert a short dowl to make a new tendon end to the spindle. (I did that, just, today)
Finest tool for recovering damaged pieces is often a Forestner bit.
I work with joint after joint, one at a time and use Polyurathane glue to re assemble because of the loose joints and the swelling of the poly fills the loose joints.

The advantage to using a sanding drum on the dremmle is that you can clean the old glue off the flat surfaces and then whip it down the hole, can clean all the holes and surfaces in about an hour. and trim any small splintery bits at the same time.
most old glues are pretty brittle and as long as the dremmle isnt turnd up too high it sands without melting the glue.
I love my dremmle.
main problem at the moment is the dowels were hand made and not round also there wern't put in straight so drilling them out is a bit tricky.
this project is going to take a few weeks, busy with christmas stuff
