I am marking this spot to come back and add a few pics. See, when doing a splice like this, they like to spread apart when clamped. The glue makes it all slippery. So to lock it in place I make a small dimple half the depth of a bb in the middle of on scarf. The I dab a little glue around the perimeter of the hole. I line up the other billets scarf on top and press them togeather. This transfers the glue from the dimple to the other billet. The I take the billet with the transfer and drill a hole in it same depth and width. I size both scarfs with glue, drop a BB in the hole, and clamp the billets together. The BB locks both pieces together so the dont slip under clamp pressure. I WILL do another probably in a few days and post pics here.
