La-z-boy Repair!

Broke the left arm about 8 years ago while moving and finally got around to fixing it. This is the inside of the arm. It really broke good.

Removed about a hundred staples holding the fabric on and the broken piece came right out

It was just two pieces of plywood, some 3/4" and some 1/2" - all stuff I had scraps of lying around

Used my cross-cutting sled to cut down a very long piece of 1/2" plywood

Traced each shape onto the appropriate piece of wood and cut it out on my Matthias Wandel™ bandsaw

Whaddya think? Look about the same?

It slipped right in place, and whereas they used tonnes of 1.5" long staples, I used a few nice steel screws.

Then it was just a matter of stapling the fabric back on, realizing I forgot to put this one piece of foam back in, removing one staple, jamming the foam back in and finishing up stapling it back together!

Then while putting it back together, realizing that a piece has come apart on the top-half of the chair and giving that some glue and two more screws

And, enjoying my super comfy and no longer lop-sided after 8 years chair again!
