Table apron too high

[Jim Moore]

I'm repairing a dropleaf gateleg dining table. The frame needed to be reglued. As I reassembled the frame I noticed the long aprons were slightly (1/16") above the top of the legs.

Is it worth redrilling the dowels or cutting down the aprons to get evrything flush or am I better off leaving it alone?

Thanks,

Jim

Got a plane? It'd be just a couple minutes work to take a sixteenth off the aprons.

Agreed. On an assembled piece I would plane that off.
