As above. Fix the broken spindle nice and straight on to the plywood, use a circular saw to make the slot, glue and slide a thin piece of timber in the slot, sand off nice and smooth.
Hi John,
Saving on material yes, the labour time of each dovetail cut by hand? Labour cost in the 20's not
bad I suppose. As you say it has charm.
There is another 40m of corridor to finish!
Thanks
John
Hi,
I am working a project of repairs to an oak floor.
I believe its laid by French tradesmen but I have never seen this before.
Why have the dovetail inserts been fitted to the ends (end grain)?
Anybody seen these before?
Thanks
