Any idea how to fix this chair?

The process has begun... Thanks a lot.
As a side note, I really like my jawhorse. This is when it really excels. Holding funky shaped objects.

It's the best way to keep it original & will give a solid repair. Looks great in the picture that you posted. Did you fix the crack that was in one of the original pics? Pull the brass trim off to fix the crack?

As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification. Thank You Everyone.
It is always the right time, to do the right thing.

I needed to solve this, i used these http://www.rockler.com/plate-or-socket-m...ll-casters on a claw foot dining table and they have held up great. Dan
I would install all new casters.
I think there is a sleeve insert to receive the swivel shaft, no?
I'm late to the party but I would have removed the brass piece, then opened the split. I probably would have broken the split completely off. I would have used glue on all the split with adequate squeeze-out and clamp.
The glued joint will be stronger than the original. I then would have filled the hole with the slowest setting epoxy I could find to maximize the penetration into the pores of the wood. Then I would replace the brass piece and drill for the caster.

Mo. I miss the days of using my dinghy with a girlfriend too. Zack Butler-4/18/24 The Revos apparently are designed to clamp railroad ties and pull together horrifically prepared joints WaterlooMark 02/9/2020

Easy to find in Oak at most Big Box stores. Not knowing how many small interior cracks you may have from when this was destroying itself I would overdrill the hole to make sure you get back to good solid wood on the chair leg.
