Default Help mortise and tenon problem

Thats a great idea since the air conditioning failed to free it up.

I don't have a big enough bag, but do have a medical grade vacuum that I
bought many years ago. Guess I'll have to make a bag.
Thanks.

BTW I guess I can then stick it in the dryer 8)

Drat. Now my wife has to stop using her clothes dryer.


Those parts might be dehumidified in a large vacuum bag, like they use
for veneering. Suck it down into a vacuum and the moisture evaporates
and is sucked out.
