A customer recently called me concerning some loose dining chairs that they had. The chairs were Reproduction Mahogany Chippendale Dining chairs and are nicely constructed. The Joinery is a mix of Mortise and Tenon and Dowels. Below are some photos of the gluing of one and the repair on the leg of a second. There is also a photo of an old writing slate that was from their family and needed the frame reglued.

The chair dismantled.
The chair with it's joints cleaned and reglued.
Fixing a crack in a leg on a second dining chair before regluing.
The writing slate getting glued up!
