I tended to think along your line that it really just made your feel like an added guarantee of future durability but actually tended to just make you feel better about doing poor joinery. As a novice I was confused as to whether professional chair makers actually bothered. I personally didn't want to. To me it seemed to encourage error. Anyway, thanks for the post.<br /><br />CalebAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5839508507864602815.post-24599839087714336972011-01-20T05:10:41.098-05:002011-01-20T05:10:41.098-05:00Thanks for the quick reply.
