AHHHHH!!! Now I got it!!
Even with instructions this one has been a head scratcher, Barry.
Good, I am sure you needed the challenge!!!
My 2 panels are glued and planed. Time for crosscutting! Only 4 more glueups to go
From Andre’s website. PM me your email address and I’ll send them to you.
You guys make my head hurt with your cutting boards!
Not as much as ours! Wait til you see his finished product!
Sanded and sized, ready for the cross cut and final glue up.
This is where I would be measuring about 22 times and then pucker up as I start pushing it through the blade.
Yep!This is where I would be measuring about 22 times and then pucker up as I start pushing it through the blade.
Ready for glue.
Not sure why but I had a bunch of trouble getting these things aligned when gluing. They wanted to slip. At one point had to beat them apart and start over. Don’t let anyone tell you Titebond III does’t set up fast.

Cool!
I've never tried it, but remember somewhere, someone, said to sprinkle some salt on a joint while glueing to help with slippage....

I have read that one as well, but like you, have not had an opportunity to try it.
Never heard of that, Tim. Can’t hurt to try. Thanks for the tip.
@trc65 Tim, Wood Magazine checked with the makers of TItebond and they say the salt (and sugar) trick isn’t a good idea. Might change the composition of the glue.

Should I use salt in my glue to prevent slipping?
While I was gluing up four boards, my neighbor noticed how the boards slipped around. He sprinkling a little salt onto the glue before sandwiching the boards together. Is that a good idea?
Just get the low sodium glue to use it with
