HOW TO BUILD A SIMPLE CHEST 23. Fig. 11 To lay out the dowel holes, place the edges that are to be joined backto back in the vise. With a sharp knife and the try-square, square linesacross the grain. Mark intersecting lines with the grain with the markinggauge, running the spur in the exact center of the edges. At the intersections of the gauge and knife lines, bore f holes about1 deep in both boards. Fig. 12. Slightly countersink these holes. Cut the dowel pins about If long, point their ends a little, and cuta shallow groove along the edge to allow the surplus glue to escape, andthus prevent splitting the boards. GLUING Place the boards in position on the saw horses near the glue pot. Havethe glue heated — if hot glue is used — and all clamps in position at that you can not stop to look for anything when the hot glue isonce applied. Pieces this narrow wdll have little tendency to buckle, especially ifthe bar clamps are put on opposite sides, but it may be wise to have fourhand screws ready with b
