[CAUT] lyre disassembly

[Marcel Carey]

Hi Dan,

I think that you suggestion would weaken the assembly. I've seen some repairs where a dowel was driven across the upper lyre and the whole thing broke.

 

The repair I use is 2 #8 screws driven from the top between the lyre dowel and the top box. I just screw them on each side of both dowels to put pressure along the top box grain so as not to split it. The screw's threads actually lock the dowel with the top box. So far, none of these came loose.

No one has mentioned the option of doweling horizontally, thru the upper lyre top, into the lyre post, and on thru to the other side...a 3" ish length  drywall screw can be sent thru the back, counter sunk, and hidden from view...won't come apart.
