Woodworking for beginners; a manual for amateurs . nt, asthe spur sometimes has a way of work-ing off to one side, so that the hole maynot be in exactly the right place.

You can sometimeslay the pieces flat on the bench and ar-range boards or blocks so as to guide thebit straight. The dowels must be thoroughly dry. It is betterto have them a trifle too large, rather than too small, for you caneasily trim them down to a snug fit. Scratch them lengthwayswith the toothed-plane, or with the edge of a file. Countersink a little hollow aroundthe opening of eachhole (see Coimier-smk), to catch the sur-plus glue which wouldotherwise form a rimaround the dowel(Fig. 517). Beforegluing you should fit the work together once, as it is very awkwardto make changes after the gluing is begun. When the parts fit ac-curately, take the joint apart for gluing. Brush a little glue around. Fig. 517.
