Chair Rung Repair with Vee-scarf joint

After 42 years of chairmaking, I’ve learned even the finest craftsmanship sometimes needs repairs. But I refuse to settle for visible fixes or weak joints. In this video, I reveal my Vee-Scarf Joint technique—a near-invisible, full-strength solution for replacing broken chair rungs. You’ll learn: ✔ Why traditional repairs fail (and how this method outlasts the original rung). ✔ Step-by-step shaping for a seamless glue-up. ✔ Installation tricks to hide the joint inside the mortise. This isn’t just a repair—it’s an upgrade. Once you master it, you’ll never dread rung replacements again. For chairmakers, restorers, and woodworkers who hate compromises. 🔔 Subscribe for more lifetime-tested techniques from the bench.
