The night before last I did a bit of complex gluing that involve 4 biscuits and 24 dowels, but stupidly I used a PVA which was going off within around 5 mins…so I panicked! 
This is the first section of a Japanese style chest of drawers, using a centre hung drawer runner and there are another four to dowel in place as the build progresses. The corner nearest the pic:
…had the wide vertical style the wrong way round
so I ended up forcing a 40mm dowel into a combined length of a 38mm hole, with the result that they burst through the top panel. I was a bit 'dismayed' and thought the job was going to be bandsaw fodder so I spent quite a long time cleaning up the dings and dents with loads of wet rag and a hot iron. The 'fix', once it was re-fitted, planed and sanded:
…isn't too bad. You can still see there some damage so I think it'll be acceptable once it's polished and placed in the third bedroom where no-one will see it - Rob
