I bought a Rochester 8x10 recently It is in excellent condition except for one joint. As you can see from the photographs someone repaired a loose joint with a nut and bolt, the bolt head sits on the surface, the nut is recessed into the wood. This is obviously not an effective repair and the joint is still loose.
I am not a wood worker but would like to repair this correctly, can anyone advise me on the best way to do it? I would assume I need to drill through the joint, use a suitable dowel and fasten everything with hide glue, but I learned a long time ago never to assume anything!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
