Dove Tail Joints
I love using Dove Tail joints, but recently I got the dove tails really tight, had to force them together with a rubber mallet.
My question to you more experienced than I, should i be able to leave the dove tails as is workout glue, or should i try to tap it all back apart and glue the joints.
I thought about glueing in a 3/4 x 3/4 walnut strip in each corner to keep it frm moving.
The bottom of the chest will help keep it from racking is my thought. But then there will be a hinged lid on top, so that that may cause some movement on opening and closing.
Im not sure if the dovetail is designed to be a glue free joint or not. Any comments would be helpful. Im a rookie and always take advice from experience
