All-
I was under the impression that the Morgan Factory has always used glue and
screws in most of thier wood body joints.
I used the West Epoxy System and added the West System Filler for joints which
were a bit on the loose side. I also used black expoxy boat paint to seal the
wood.

All-
Since I first raised the issue of glue here, I have to say I was
surprised at Fred's comments, but I'm sure he's right. Furniture doesn't
move around as much as cars do, and most glues are pretty brittle, I
guess. I agree with Chuck that it makes the joinery that much more
critical. It is amazing what you learn on this list.
