Reply To: raised table top board, 5 inches from edge.

While having a cup of coffee and staring at this joint problem I came across and idea. Take my smallest drill bit and drill 3 maybe 4 holes along the split at a 45 degree angle running with the split. Then using a syringe shoot some glue in the holes, move the board down to position and let it up and do that a few times to spread the glue. Then fill the holes with glue and dust and clamp it level again. Let sit for 2 days.

Or should I do as above with the drill and glue and then after moving the board the 1mm a few times with a clamp to try to spread the glue inside, then just clamp it in the natural position (raised) and let it set for a couple days, then plane smooth?

Good idea or bad?
