im trying to fix together some Untreated Reclaimed African Azobe, its been left out in the elements all winter. heard its a hard hardwood but this is silly.
timberlocks i got are 30cm-ish long cos of the way im stacking them. Tried WD40 and they still jam sooo tight. Yet to get one in properly. Mini torque wrench them after the drill jams, and they have been snapping, either head or shaft of them.
Only thing i could think of is getting a bloomin long drillbit and predrilling a hole nearly all the way, leaving just the 2" for the thread to bite into.
any other ideas??
