Desk SO drop front legs for repair
Picking this unit up tomorrow but think this will be my greatest challenge yet. Has anyone experience with repairing legs like this?

Looks like a repair with a typical hide glue fail.
It would have been hard to re glue first time . As in clamping it right . And hide glue fails if its not a good tight join .
Things get worse because now the old glue has to be cleaned off . Hot water and a brush will do it but you lose the perfect fresh joining surfaces.
So two pack glue and clamping it right works . Tricky clamping like that needs a surface built up with Filler and wood to get the right clamping angle .

I took all the legs off and decided to dismantle the loose good ones to clean and glue them. I think they will be the basis of making suitable clamping system first. I suspect I will end up making new sections for the legs to fit into. Started a cleaning of the rest of it just using metholated spirits and a sponge and it is working nicely.
