This is probably the longest part of the process, is getting it prepped and ready to put back together again. The better you do it now, the better the chair is going to stay together in the future. Scraping all the old glue off. We may use the file again, just to get off any extra. On all your dowels rounding's, you want to scrape those off with the file.
