I would like to try a Jennings pattern bit with a fine lead screw like Tools for Working Wood sells, but they are very expensive ($33.45 for the half inch one).Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10394365117138074832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976499952885642848.post-16923992471421438822016-04-13T13:16:53.300-07:002016-04-13T13:16:53.300-07:00Ken,

Every time I have gone to the store to pick up Titebond hide glue, all the bottles are within a few months of expiration so I don't have any.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10394365117138074832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976499952885642848.post-42915550908067969922016-04-13T09:16:37.459-07:002016-04-13T09:16:37.459-07:00I had wondered about boring holes in end grain wit...I had wondered about boring holes in end grain with brace and bit. I've done it in soft wood with standard Jennings pattern bit, but never tried it in hard wood. Any idea what type of bit may have been used? The chair is looking great. Can't wait to see it with some finish on it.Tiny Shop Woodworkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10375332433853904113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976499952885642848.post-8460879941522288232016-04-13T02:59:10.026-07:002016-04-13T02:59:10.026-07:00Andy,

Both work well, I use Old Brown but it is harder to find. The reason I suggest hide glue is it will act as a lubricant and does not "swell" the wood like modern glues do.<br /><br />Your experience sounds like classic "glue lock".<br /><br />I almost forgot to add the most important part....Your chair looks great, congrats.<br /><br />ken I'm a OK guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11843155822153452980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976499952885642848.post-40297616184576053822016-04-13T01:46:22.633-07:002016-04-13T01:46:22.633-07:00Congratulation for the achievement.
