Good quality but there was a 5% shortage so be careful if you need exact quantity.

...in that chair you just fixed with these.

I picked up some chairs I saw on craigslist free stuff. They looked like they had a lot of potential, but I couldn't see from the photos how much work it would take to get there. When I got rid of the thick paint and primer that weren't original to the chairs, I saw that there was an attempt to fix one that had broken. It may have been the reason for the thick paint.

There was no easy way to disassemble the chair, so I ended up sawing it apart. It had been held together with dowels and with screws.

Would dowels have been enough? I mean, probably for normal use. But maybe the foreman asked the owner for a lot of clamps because you never can have enough clamps, and the owner was some corporate raider and was like, "Screw that!" and the foreman used screws instead of clamps. Then again, the leg did need to be repaired, and we'll never know what caused it. Probably space junk.

I didn't have a dowel jig at the time. I didn't even know dowel jigs were a thing. I freehanded it based on where the old dowels were. If I had to do it from scratch, I'd get or make a dowel jig.

My wife and I made new cushions from them from scratch. SOOOOOOOOO comfortable now. And sturdier because dowels.

>.. "The most common preventable loss of life situation is uncontrolled bleeding." (quote from a rescue worker at the Los Vegas Killings.) To allow me to help in the case I came across a bleeding emergency, I put together a "Stop The Bleeding" first aid kit. It was outfitted from Amazon's products, to my own specific desire.
>.. I used these wooden dowels in my "Stop The Bleeding" emergency pack. I have them attached with duct tape to my sterile compressed gauze packs. Although the compressed gauze is packed with notches already cur into the seals to make it easy to open, I found that with wet hands, or wet gloves, it was hard to grip the top tight enough to effectively open the pack easily. It was recommended to me that I reinforce the top of each pack with duct tape and a pair of wooden dowels to form an easy grip at both ends making it easier to grab the gauze and the wooden dowel, pull, and easily tear.
>.. These are sized in an ideal way to fit under the duct tape, and above the notched spot on the seal. One tears a piece of regular cloth backed duct tape slightly longer than the top of the compressed gauze pack. Position one dowel at each end of the top, and apply the duct tape over the dowel, across the top of the pack, and above the notches. With both dowels held in place with the duct tape, fold it over to cover part of the other side of the pack also. Tear a second piece, apply it to the 'back' [doesn't matter] and fold it over the first piece, so that duct tape runs from just above one notch to the other, and the dowels are covered in tape as well. press firmly to attach the tape to the pack and the dowels.
>.. Now wet hands (gloved I hope) can grip the gauze in the pack with one hand, the doweled edge with the other and easily tear open the sealed sterile compressed gauze. THIS WAS NOT MY IDEA, IT WAS RECOMMENDED TO ME.

box of 100 has 105 pieces. All good.

They arrive on time and we're as described.
