Bodge JobsIf you can't fix it with a hammer and a roll of duck tape, it's not worth fixing at all, my old mate said minutes before that nasty business with the hammer and a roll of duck tape. Tell us of McGyver-like repairs and whether they were a brilliant success or a health and safety nightmare.

There's your problem...Screws and nails work best in compression, and chair failure tends to be a failure in tension. Adding more screws and nails is more likely to weaken the structure rather than strengthen it. If you would provide more details as to the type of chair he's breaking, I can be more helpful.
