By the way loving the new photobucket button at the bottom of the pane.

At first I thought this was hanging on the wall. It looks like a good clamping system. This whole snakes pattern blog has really been great to follow. Also thanks for pointing out the photo bucket button.

“All is now serene…” Thanks for my morning chuckle, Martyn. You’re doing great.

Heck, I would add some more rows for sure. I always break the rules on glue-ups.

But, it ain’t my board, is it?

Good enough for me, Scott.

Well check me out. Not 2 rows but 4. I’ve even had to go landscape. Once I got into the swing of it it got easier and easier. A this rate I’ll have it finished by the weekend.

Thanks for the heads up, Scott.

Steve, guess rules were meant to be broken, eh.

Martyn this was a fun glue up.

Tite bond III is good to go after a few hours.. but I leave the whole job clamped overnight…

I don’t think I would know where to start, Larry.

not to worry , martin .

titeIII is good to go ,
much faster than tite II ,
just srape or clean off any pools ,
as it will goo the sandpaper ,
when i do the first cleanup ,
i let any running glue dry first
(1/2 hour) ,
then sand in slow increments ,
turning periodically to lessen ,
any hard spots on both sides .

and by the week end ,
i expect you will have built a piano and a cello ,

at the rate you work !

Fascinating! Make sure you don’t flip or spin a block (I’m pretty sure I would!)

Nice clamp method.

Didn’t realize that these glue ups were done in stages.

Must be why I have trouble?

Just a comment to let you all know how its going.

I won’t bore you with yet another glue-up pic. Just to say that I completed the glue-up today. Its clamped and drying overnight. I’ll sand and finish it tomorrow.

Then and only then might I let you have a look. After all it could be horrendous.

Great glue-up jig Martyn. This is going to be a nicely done project. I can’t wait to see the finish.
