Hi All,
I have a swinging bench and over time the joints have come a little loose. I have now taken it apart (several joints were mortise and tenon so had to cut the tenon) and was wondering what the best method is to put it back to gether so the joints are nice and tight. I was thinking of those barrel ty pe fittings where you drill a hole in one piece of timber to put the barrel in and then a bolt through the other timber to then bolt into the inserted barrel if you see what I mean - sorry don't know what they are called. I could use screws but worried they will loosen over time.
Any ideas?
thanks
Lee.
