So What Did You do today?

I've had my Lazboy recliner for over a decade. Usually, I spend several hours a day there and from time to time I sleep there as well. It's been making noises it shouldn't make for at least a week. Yesterday, it just quit working.




The problem, a broken support underneath. Fixable, I think.
Christmas before last, I got a Dremel multitool which is perfect for cutting in awkward spaces. I was able to cut out the bad section. (Sort of like a dentist)
Many many years ago M and I went to a workworking show in Portland. It featured the Kreg pocket screw system. It lets you attach two pieces of wood from the side instead of the back. This allowed me to attach some new supports.



Here you see the results and I am back in my favorite chair again.
