ChrisL Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 I have a question to those having completed the arm brackets. Do you think these provide sufficient structural strength laterally from pivoting on the leg support with 1 screw? I like the look of the design very much, though I am curious, do you think a steel plate recessed under the arm is needed for additional support, or is it plenty strong as designed?

thewoodwhisperer Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 After using the chair for a while, I can tell you that the brackets aren't even necessary from a structural perspective. That fat shallow tenon is glued and screwed into place, and that provides a great deal of support. So at this point, I'm willing to say those brackets are almost entirely decorative.
