Hi everyone. I have a simple question about gluing up a simple butcher-block project. I'm going to be gluing 14 pieces of 1x2 in a 17" length. In other words, I'll end up with a block that's 14"x17"x2". I'll probably be using Titebond III. My concern is, I'm not sure I can get the last piece covered, (in glue), before the first piece starts to set up. I'm in no rush. Should I just glue one piece at a time, as in, once per day? Or, can I assemble all 14 pieces, and them clamp them all up?
A solid final piece is critical as this will actually be an electric guitar body rather than a kitchen cutting board.
(Don't ask.) :-)
Ok, ok . . . you can ask.

Thanks guys. 3 or 4 it is. I'll post pics when she's all done.
Wow! This is actually more difficult than you might think. (At least, for a newbie.) The glue is like grease and the pieces want to slide around out of alignment. Even doing 3-at-a-time makes it hard to get proper alignment. I hope this turns out ok, but I now have greater respect for the "simple" butcher-block project.

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.
I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.
First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…

Several months ago, I purchased the Kreg K4MS so that I could build the Lego Table as outlined on the companion "buildsomething" web site which exclusively uses pocket hole construction. I have considerable experience with conventional…
