But I'm pretty sure it's a good strong bond. On one side, the seam is barely even visible, on the other side, you can see easily. I glued it overnight last night with a good strong clamp. I know wood glue is strong, but I'm not sure if it will hold in this particular orientation. I thought I may have to find a new piece of wood and drill all the correct holes in it to fix it, but figured I might as well try gluing it first. So my sister in law broke one of our kitchen chairs last night, turns out it was because she was scooting on it, and because the leg got pulled outward, it just snapped one of the corner brackets in half. However I know for a fact that the pins going into the holes are bigger, and fit very snug into the holes currently. I can see how the ones like we currently have, even if the pin isn't big enough to fill the holes all the way, would work better than just a standard pin, because they have the backing to help keep the pin from sagging. It looks like my wife had replaced one shelf with 1/4" pins some time ago, and because they sit so loosely in the hole, it sags in the hole, and ruined that set of holes when it finally gave way. But I can't seem to find 5/6" pins anywhere! Anyone know where I can find these bigger shelf pins? I measured m old pins and they are 5/16". The hardware stores all seem to carry 5mm and 1/4" pins, by my holes are much bigger than the 1/4" pins. However I've found that the holes in my shelves are larger than all the standard pins. So I went to go buy some new metal shelf pins to replace them. Well the house is about 12 years old and the plastic is starting to get brittle and they're starting to fail. So our kitchen cabinets have plastic shelf clip things supporting all the shelves, similar to these.
