how to easily repair woodies
« on: May 04, 2007, 04:37:00 PM »
Here is a tiny tool I've just made to easily repair my woodies. I've made it in a piece of oak.

I use it with a band saw, and use wood glue

Here is a scan of the piece of wood I use. This is a full size image, the size is 14cm by 25 cm (sorry guys I'm using centimeters rather inches).

Neat jig.  I'm still sanding on my taper sander and gluing the 2 bevels together.  That looks a lot stronger.

Obviously, also a great way to add a hardwood foot to a softwood shaft.  Great idea.  Merci, Phil!

Thanks guys. I forgot to add that you usually end up with a small bump due to a slight excess of wood :

 

I correct that with a plane :

 

then sand it and no more bumps, "et voilà" :
