Great discussion on several levels, glue-ups and tool safety.
Thanks guys, I can use all the new knowledge and safety reminders I can get.

Norm always begins a show by telling you to "read, follow, and understand the safety directions" and then goes on to show you his safety glasses.

They remove the guards from the equipment so the cameraman can get a better shot of his work. Nobody wants to see a chunk of wood being fed into a planer and popping out the other end looking perfect. We viewers want to see the shiny, spinning blades, the twirling drill bits, the dancing nail gun, and the ever-fascinating dovetail jig, even if he's building a milk crate.

I believe the sponsors want us to see their tools in action, too. Not covered up by all those pesky OCHSA guards made for people who don't know that tools are *supposed* to be sharp and deadly.

[quote="charlese"]Dwight- it is very hard to over-glue a joint.

That is what I thought until my friend Danny helped me one day. I told him he could not get to much glue on the joint...

.... I looked over in a few minutes and he had it dripping off his elbows!

Wow, Mark!

I guess there's an exception to every rule. However as I said - "It's very hard to ...."

Did Danny get it washed off? Or was he a little stiff armed for a while.

Good thing it washes off with water. I think he decided to stick with his day job though.

Sorry but I can't help it.... did he use all that glue to "stick" to his day job?

The only time I have seen Norm not glue an edge is when he is joining end grain to long grain like in a breadboard edge to a table. This is to account for wood movement. In this case you would glue all the biscuits in one piece. Then only apply glue to the center biscuit in the breadboard cap. Usually, the ends are pinned into slots. The biscuits are used to maintain alignment.
