Suck on one of those baby dummies you sell 🤭

That saved me probably 2 days. 
 
Simona’s having a stand for her baby stuff at a show on the weekend. Making some display stands for her. Joinery is a bit rough round the edges to put it mildly but it will do the job and should look nice once waxed 

If you are screwing two bits of wood together like that, make sure that the piece of wood the screw goes into first has a clearance whole and not a pilot whole. Eg. A whole 0.5mm or 1mm bigger than the screw diameter. This will ensure that they pull together tight and don't get screw trapped between them keeping them apart.
Nice job though

Thanks for the tip. Yes I’ve been having that exact problem

If you take them screws out and redo you will probably close them gaps

Or snap some screws. Either or

Your advice is unfortunately a few hours late on this occasion

Hole hole hole.

Hole hole hole. [emoji3] 

I was talking about a whole hole. Not a bit of one.

Well this is clearly Steves first time so I can see why you needed to clarify.
