I bought this pretty rustic, handmade washstand about 8 years ago from an old lady clearing out her storage unit. As with most of my projects, it was falling apart, so she let it go for about $20. I disassembled it to clean it and then other projects got in the way, so I put it into a box for safekeeping. Two houses and one pandemic later, I finally had a reason to dig back into the box.
The joinery on this piece is all hand cut, and was still intact, so it just needed to be cleaned and glued. I recreated one of the knobs and a piece of molding to match the original, and my daughter helped me plane, cut, and and install some drawer stops from walnut scraps.
It’s finished with garnet shellac. I haven’t quite figured out how to secure the marble top, except with gravity, since it weighs a good 50 pounds or more. I may just leave that to whoever buys it once the world reopens.
I am trying to tighten the mortise and tenon joints on a very wobbly antique washstand. I have taken some of it apart but every joint is pinned with one or two finishing nails and I would like to avoid further disassembly if possible.
Does anyone have advice for injecting hot hide glue into the joints or for other approaches?
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
I came out of the stall and saw my 5-year-old daughter at the washstand chatting with some stranger. I told her not to bother strangers, but she said, "but she's so cool!"
I took a look at a stranger, and lo and behold, it was a hairy hunky man in a glitter dress!
That's the moment I knew how I failed to educate my daughter. She found this "cool"?!
I immediately starting beating and kicking the stranger, pressing his head against the ground with my feet. He was clearly a creep who snuck into women's spaces, perhaps trying to assault someone using his stronger male physique. I caught him in the act.
I asked my horrified daughter, "did he touch you?" I mean, there was absolutely no chance that he didn't touch her, or else he would've got in here for nothing, right? My daughter shook her head, but I know she must've been groomed by the creep.
The police came soon, but instead of arresting the creep, they arrested me for assault. What?! This country has damn fallen, I tell ya. No more justice. No more COMMON SENSE. AITA for being the last sane person in this PC zombie land?
Do your worst!
Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

They were cooked in Greece.

Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"
Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
