How do I replace the broken, uneven dowel from the rod (separated from the chair) of the chair. I think that I need to make a winch somehow. If anyone has any ideas, please share with me. The rod with the broken dowel is already removed from the chair. Thanks.

    Hello, Im not sure what is broken, if a safe repair can be done. If you are looking to reglue and tighten, bungee cords or a ratchet strapping tool might work with wood glue.

    A picture would be a huge help. That way we could know what you are working with.
