Toymakers Shop - Glueing Legs On Dragons
Handmade Wood Dragon Finished Version Dragons https://www.etsy.com/shop/odinstoyfactory?search_query=dragons The dragons appear easy to build on the surface. However, getting all the parts aligned and glued into place is a challenge. I struggled with this for a while, trying to find a reliable way to mount the legs and get them all to align so the dragon sits flat and does not rock. I contacted the pattern designer for help and soon discovered that he does not make test builds on his designs. I was on my own. Handmade Wood Dragon Parts Before Sanding The first thing I do is cut all the parts and sand everything smooth, repairing any minor imperfections I find. I do all the sanding before assembly. It would be challenging to sand a dragon after assembly. Handmade Wood Dragon Gluing On The First Leg First, I glue one leg in place, being very careful to get it aligned as near to perfect as I can. Positioning this leg is critical because everything will index off this leg.
