Re: Clamping Oooops - How to fix - Sawdustd - 07-14-2016 Thanks. That was very thoughtful. I'm going to try heat (iron) and hot water. Re: Clamping Oooops - How to fix - Sawdustd - 07-15-2016 Gaps closed with the aid of a steam iron, hot water, eye stopper, clamps and a "mallet". ![]() Lesson learned: I think the steam iron really sped up softening the glue. I could "iron" all the joints at the same time. Re: Clamping Oooops - How to fix - Shovel Man - 07-15-2016 Congratulations on your success. Re: Clamping Oooops - How to fix - rayknight - 07-15-2016 Nicely done, that's one of the reasons hide glue advocates love it so much, and I wouldn't put brads through the end tails. Unless you washed out all of the glue, you have plenty of reserve through all of them, no focal repetitive stress, shoot there are those who knocked together boxes with structurally well cut DT for boxes and they held up for decades with no glue. and you risk splitting the tail when you put the nail in, that's my opinion anyway, and again congrats on your fix and congrats to the forum for good advise. Ray Re: Clamping Oooops - How to fix - Bibliophile 13 - 07-15-2016 Good job! You could also have just cut some thin shims/wedges, tapped them in, sawed off the excess, and planed them flush. That's especially handy when you've cut over a line. It's best to tap them in before the glue sets up, but even if you notice gaps after the fact, a bit of superglue on the wedge will keep it in place. RE: Clamping Oooops - How to fix - MidwestMan - 07-19-2016 Congratulations and thank you for posting the final results/procedure. ![]() RE: Clamping Oooops - How to fix - Sawdustd - 07-21-2016 Apologize for the late response. Couldn't see your response due the new woodnet software which only showed 1 page of replies/responses. Software has now been fixed. Anyways -- the chest will sit inside a base. The base parts had already been cut, dry fitted over the dry fitted chest and test fitted to insure the chest would sit inside the base. After gluing up the chest, the base did not fit on that corner. I didn't want to plane off 1/16" on that corner to make the base fit. Thankfully, I discovered the cause of the non closure between the 4 pins and tails and the gap closed once the glue was softened. As a last resort, I would have used shims to close the gaps and then planed down the corner. |
