Today I promised myself a day off, with other things to do.  I almost made it, but after coming home from Kredl’s at suppertime, I could not help myself.  I stuck some plugs in some holes.

I had a rubber hammer to whack them in, quite an assortment of saws to choose from, and a sander to finish off the job.  There are 72 plugs in the initial round on the top rail.  I’ve probably done 20.

Mr. Wood on YouTube is right -- even the thin Japanese saws wlll scratch the surrounding wood.  Skill or a different saw?  Not sure.

     BEFORENote that this is the part that Harv did, hence the plugs match the screw holes. Lucky me. Plugs pounded inThere's a little glue in there, too. A savvy person would notice that I forgot to line up the grain.

Nice selection of saws.

That's all for today.  Tomorrow I'll finish this, and hope to buy smaller plugs for my holes.
