I also just noticed this was addressed in several posts in a thread down the list a little. -
Got the end cap done. Is it just me? I have to reassure myself that it will be okay when joints don’t look seamless or water tight. Slight gap at the top where the cap meets the top. On the side with the tennon, I eased the grain by beveling it down, so while it looks like a gap, it isn’t nearly as big as it appears. -
I don't think you really need to worry about it the glue will probably do enough at just making something that won't fall apart. If you were bent on doing something i'd just glue in a dowel. -
They look pretty strong to me but if you are going to paint the steps anyway you could hide the screws if you feel the need. I hate to tell you its fine without and have your wife get hurt. -
Me too. I usually shut off the breaker to the table saw, router table, and dust collector before I let the girls out there. Obviously I forgot this time. On another note, what would be best for reinforcing the steps in the dados? Should I add a couple of screws on the steps, a couple of dowels, or does it matter? This is intended for my daughter who is around 35 lb, but my wife will inevitably stand on it too.
