... , to ease them out a tad. There's lots been written about this and I'm pretty certain it's inclination of the rail in the chairs that's being held upright by the roller gauges, whilst the glue sets, that is causing it. Perhaps I should make a couple more of the simple brass block gauge that I also use which has no clamping action, to allow the rail to sit naturally in the chair at 20 degrees(?) whilst the glue sets. Has anybody got a favourite method of avoiding this problem? 2787_131918_550000000.jpg That's it for tonight I think.

As to the rail being held by the gauges and then easing itself back when the gauges are removed it depend on what depth of the rail is held in the gauge slots and how tight the gauges are ...
