Noah's Ark: In The Beginning

The final toy in this batch was a wooden ark with a busted ramp. It has been a sturdy toy, mostly, but expecting glue to stand up under the combined assault of the tykes was an optimistic assumption on the part of the manufacturers. So, inevitably, the door parted company with the hinge along the glue line.

Obviously what is needed is a bit more strength in the joint which can be supplied by a couple of suitably placed woodscrews. On inspection drilling a pilot hole through the door should present no problem. The hinge however may or may not depending on how far through the steel pin runs through the hinge.

Either way pilot holes will need to be drilled and the screws countersunk. In order to do this a spot of shopping is in order I think.
