Hey everybody I'm Don Golden with Expert Village and we are back working on this desk leg which
we have redoweled it, glued, it and the glue has set up good, we have waited probably about
an hour so that should be good enough. Now what I want to do is I want to flush this
and no it is not a toilet but what I'm going to do is I'm going to sand this down so that
it is basically flat and we have got a nice flat surface to put our new hole in which
is going to hold the two sided screw which connects to the desk which connects to the
leg and holds it in place. And we are going to have to get a bit also when we drill this
out that is a little bit smaller than this end so the threads are going to take and hold
real good. But first let's sand this down and see what happens. I have got a little
rotary sander here that should do the job just right. It's got a very coarse pad on
it and you don't need anything real smooth here you just want to knock this off real
fast so let's see how this goes.
That looks o'kay and I'm going to give it just another couple shots here and I want
to be careful not to damage the finished edge here so I kind of keep it curved and we are
pretty close so you have got to really watch out when you do this so that you don't angle
this too much one way or another.
That looks good. We have sanded it down, it's nice and flat. When we come back I'm going
to show you how to drill this hole nice and true.
