Working With Wood Continued
I used some of the scrap pieces from the head/foot boards to keep my
clamps in alignment while I transferred my screw holes.
|
|
 |
Next I opened up the holes on the side
pieces to 3/16".This will provide the clearance for all my screws.
Later I'll be using a 3/8" drill that will go about 1/8" deep for some
wood plugs.
|

 |
|
Here I'm running a screw into the holes of my head and
foot boards. Note the soap on the bench. This helps put a small amount
of lubrication on the threads as I run the screw down and back for each hole.
|
|
 |
Again I used some scrap pieces to help hold my clamps while I
transferred the hole location.
|
|
 |
Once I was happy with the dry-fit, I glued and screwed things together.
|
|
 |
Here I'm using my 3/8" plug cutter to cover all the screws with.
|
|
 |
I put a dab of glue in each hole and then installed the plugs.
|
|
 |
A few hours later I used a wood chisel to remove most of the plug
material. This goes fast and now I'm ready to sand them.
|
|
 |
Here is what it looks like after sanding. Some of the plugs didn't match
as well as these did but they still looked pretty good.

 |
Here is the paint booth, my side yard. I took advantage of the small
window of sunlight that I had that day because it had been raining off and on for a few
days.
