Mini Moravian Bench Build Process

Return to main project page

After posting my woes on the woodhaven forum, the ever helpful and skilful members there reckoned I could repair the crack, so I've poured some glue into the hole and clamped it together. I've also cleaned up as much of the dried glue as I can easily manage so perhaps tomorrow I'll have another go (with a thicker and stumpier wedge):

The shabby saw cut you can see in the tenon is the result of me having to mash one of the wedges a bit to get the tenon out of its mortice. I've cleaned it up a bit with a saw but its a lot wider than originally intended. Hopefully a nice chunky wedge will sort that one out too.

I am a hobbyist metalworker and woodworker. I work as an electronic design engineer and spend most of my working days in front of a computer so I enjoy having the opportunity to use my hands and make things in my spare time. I particularly enjoy making tools as I can then use them on other projects. This website showcases some of the things I've made.
