Turn the chair upside down, being sure to
protect the top of the seat with a towel or
cardboard. Put a little glue on the tapered
ends of the wood Wedges (M) and pound
them into the slots in the bottom of the Back
Posts (C & D) as shown in FIGURE 2. Be
careful not to displace the back posts.
Drill a 3/32" pilot hole through the hole in
the Back Posts (C & D) into each end of the
Back (B). Screw a 1¼" x #8 Pan Head Screw
(K) into each hole. Rubbing a little soap on
the screw threads will help them go in more
easily. Tighten the screws until the Back and
the Back Posts are pulled together securely.
Over-tightening could strip the wood in the
back. To cover the screw hole, put a little glue
around the insides of the holes on the Back
Posts (C & D) and insert the wooden Button
(M). See FIGURE 3. Carefully wipe off
excess glue from around the button. (If any
glue has gotten on buttons, thoroughly sand
the area so that it will absorb stain or finish.
The Back Center Stretcher (J) is shorter and
has smaller chucks on both ends. Glue Back
Center Stretcher (J) in the smaller holes on
the Side Stretcher (H). Glue in the longer
Front Center Stretcher (I) in the remaining
hole. Twisting the center stretchers will help
them go in more easily. Glue the other side
stretcher onto the center stretchers. See
FIGURE 4. Place assembly on a hard flat
surface. Using a nail set, drive two 1" Brads
into each side stretcher where the center
stretchers join them. See FIGURE 5.
NOTE:
Be sure that the shoulders of the
center stretchers are in contact with the side
stretchers.
