Project Pew Part Three

The pew-end nearly sorted

Detail showing the angled end
So far, so good. Getting the pew-end slowly sorted - it has turned out to be as difficult as I imagined, as the pew-end came from a different pew and the rebates don't quite match. Also, the damage originally done via chainsaw(!) by the previous chapel owner, has meant further fettling to get the thing anywhere near actually fitting. Anyway, the pics show the end strapped up and ready for drilling for the dowels: I'm going to glue and peg this old style. There are numerous places where the mis-fitting and damage have left gaps, but I've got plenty of offcuts of the timber to fill most, if not all. As I said the open end will fit flush against the conservatory wall, supported by a wooden bracket screwed to the masonry, so what with the weight of the thing and a nice secure right hand end it should be good and stable. I'll post further updates as it progresses.
