I have a wooden chair that has cracked where the leg joins to the seat. The part that screws the top of the leg to the seat has cracked. Is there anyway to repair this to avoid purchasing a new chair and keeping it a matching set?

Replace the bent threaded bolt and the threaded anchor. Take the chair to the hardware store and a knowledgeable sales person will steer you to what you need. Glue is not worth trying
Go to any hardware type store (Home Depot) and buy wood epoxy.The directions are on the package .Very easy to mix this glue.It costs approx. $4 -- $6.oo max Apply to the hole and the leg and join them back together.Epoxy sets up fast so you should have everything together in a matter of minutes..By tomorrow your chair will be ready for Thanksgiving dinner.
If i understand your question,the leg of the chair has cracked at the top where the threaded stud is, and it is making it loose. If this is the case. You need to remove the stud, then widen the crack slightly be careful not to make it worse, next put some wood glue in the crack,you can do this by using a straw to blow the glue deep into the crack,once enough glue is in the crack,you will need to clamp it. If you don't have any clamps you can tie some rope around the damaged area the use a strong dowel or stick and twist until it is nice and tight or you can use zip ties or rubber bands (but the rope works a lot better).Let it dry overnight.When the glue is completely dry you can re-tread the stud back into the leg and screw onto chair. If this wasn't what you where asking let me know and I'll give you some more solutions.
