hello folks! hope you all had a nice xmas and new year!. i spent new year in germany (munich) found some undiscovered model shops and made a few purchases (eu - £ is a disaster!).
anyways, my project is beginning to get started. from a recommendation on here, i ordered from bromsgrove models 4 pairs of dowels to locate the 3 baseboards accurately together and they arrived very quickly. - excellent service from bromsgrove!.
my question is this, what is the best method of mounting those dowels.
on the underside of the baseboards on the joining edges is the wooden cross brace ... is this the right spot to put those dowels?
and what is the best way of mounting them? just to drill 9mm holes into the wood and push them in? ... or shud there be some kind of glue to hold them in ... and the dowels are metal (redish colour) so how do you glue metal to wood?
sorry about what must be very obviuos questions to you experienced folks, but iv never done this before!
many thanks!
