My childhood rocking chair is adorable, but..

The spindles & joints are loose. An estimate to restore it to its former self was astronomical! Is there a way I can do it myself? I'm semi-handy...🙃

"E6000" adhesive works well --try to use a little by the joints --let it dry well and then find a stain that will match the chair in case you need to re-stain the area.
A picture would be of great help. I worked alongside my late husband, who spent nearly 30 years in the furniture restoration business. I could help you more with a photo.
I took my old one apart and used carpenters glue to put the spindles back in. You do need two sets of hands.
I think I would restrain or paint the parts of the chair before I glued it.
Thanks for your advice...
