Chair Leg angle?
Does anyone know at what angle the holes in the underneath of the chair seat are? I'm reglueing a chair, have the old glue cleaned out. I want to redrill the holes to clean em up.

Wow, Bob! I just checked on a number of my chairs and they are all different. I have an adult rocker that the angle is aprox 8 degrees. I have a childs rocker that the angle is closer to 5 degrees. My dinette chairs are straight in the front and 10 degrees on the back. My pool table has legs that are angled at 15 degrees, but I have seen straight legs on them too. I do knot think there is a standard; just whatever the builder makes them. You do knot have a matching chair to compare with?beeg wrote:Does anyone know at what angle the holes in the underneath of the chair seat are? I'm reglueing a chair, have the old glue cleaned out.

Why drill? you say the old glue is cleaned out! Just dry assemble, then take apart, then using hide glue put it back together again.
