Have this (three other stool pending repair) wooden stool with broken part of the legs, it is thru wear and tear. The previous repair done was to add screws and nails, wood gule, external strip of wood.
Over time the stool support bar is getting loosen or have damage bar is giving way.
Buy a new digital angle device to help determine the cutting angle for the support bar
measure it support angle to trim, strange the angle vary within an compare to other support. Not sure why or for some reason when it was created.

* * * * * * * * - - - Anatomy OF A STOOL - - - * * * * * *
The anatomy of a wooden stool includes the seat, which is the top surface, legs that provide support, and optional stretchers or braces for added stability. Key considerations are the seat's shape and thickness, the number and angle of the legs, and the connection method between the parts, such as dowels, screws, or wood joinery, to ensure stability and prevent tipping.
Seat: The flat or shaped top surface of the stool where a person sits. It can be a solid piece of wood or multiple pieces glued together.
Legs: The vertical supports that hold the seat off the ground. They are often angled (splayed) outwards for stability and can be round or square in shape.
Stretchers/Braces: Horizontal pieces of wood that connect the legs, usually near the bottom, to provide extra support and rigidity. They can be simple cross braces or more integrated joinery.
Key Design & Construction Considerations:
Stability: The base, which includes the legs and stretchers, must be wide enough and sturdy to prevent the stool from tipping.
Leg Angle: Legs are often splayed at an angle (e.g., 11˚-19˚) rather than being perfectly vertical to enhance stability and avoid being a tripping hazard.
Joinery: The method for connecting the components is crucial for durability. Common methods include:
Dowels: Drilled into the seat and corresponding legs for a basic connection.
Screws: Used to attach legs to the seat, sometimes with wooden plugs to conceal the screw heads.
Wood Joinery: More complex techniques like half lap joints can be used for strong connections between the legs and stretchers.
Footrest (Bar Stools): For taller bar stools, a footrest is an important feature for comfort and proper weight distribution.
