Building a bandsaw on the cheap from mostly scrap wood

[glatt]

I turn my attention back to the table support stuff. I need to glue the trunnion supports to the end of the long block. They will be held in place with these dowels and glue.


It's a difficult fit. It needs a little persuasion with a mallet.


Still can't get the pieces tight against one another, and it turns out I made my dowels too long. I can't pull them together with a clamp because the dowels are in the way. So while the glue is drying, I frantically drill out some oversized holes in a clamping block that will fit over those dowels that are sticking out. Then I can clamp them together. Glue-ups can be stressful some times.


But it all comes out nicely, and I bolt the whole thing down on the table.
