030-05.jpg (195866 bytes) Now we're truckin'

It was body glue-up yesterday for #030. After a couple fresh passes through the jointer to resurface and square the edges, the two side were ready to glue.
Tools needed: 4 heavy duty bar clamps, Titebond glue, wax paper and a damp cloth for wiping off glue squeeze out.
030-06.jpg (186022 bytes) A nice even coat of glue is applied to each edge and allowed to sit for a couple minutes. Since the glue contains a lot of water which will rust the bar clamps at the seam, a couple sheets of wax paper is placed over the bars to prevent rust stains from transfering into the body spread.
