Then,by using two other hand-screws, those first put on can be drawntowards one another and the joint firmly closed. Then proceed toglue the parts as with new work. For the way to do this see Fig. 647. 462 Wood-Working for Beginners In patching old work with new wood, pains should be taken tohave the wood match as well as possible, and, as a rule, pare ortrim the new pieces after they are glued in place rather than be-fore. Staining to match the older parts is often required (seeStaining). See also Holes, To Stop. The repaired joint may never be quite as strong as a new one,therefore it is well to reinforce it with a block glued and screwedon the under or inner side, in cases where this can be done with-out injuring the appearance, as inside of the frame under a chair,sofa, or table. It is not uncommon, particularly in work which has come apartseveral times, for the tenons to be too small. If you can glue onthin pieces to make the tenon larger, trimming them afterwardsto fit, it will be the best way; but if the conditions do not admitof this, a little muslin, laid in glue, can sometimes be wrappedaround the tenon as the la
