gluing angular wood blocks together

[hfmann]

Thanks John,

There's a Stumpy Nubs video that makes something similar, ...
Basically, he clamps the sides to keep the beveled ends from creeping.

I remember watching that but at the time it wasn't in my sphere of interests so didn't pay that much attention. Very interesting. My jig uses the same concept but on a square block that'll become a bowl. An adjustable locking side boxes the pieces in so they can't slide when the clamps are applied. I'll post a pix when I get it done.

I think Nick's sandpaper debris trick might be helpful.

I missed that one. What you talking about?

To keep glue from sliding on clamping, Nick rubs 2 pieces of 50 grit sand paper together and lets a few particles fall onto his glue surface...then clamps.

People do this with sand, salt, etc...this time its something you already have laying around the shop .

Probably wouldn't be very good for the turning tools, though!

I use regular table salt. Don't need much and it disolves. I'm not a turner but, it shouldnt affect your tooling.

Sandpaper grains, salt, etc. Interesting.

I hadn't thought about the impact on the turning tools. I was thinking about what impact final finished bowls. All good things to think about.

thanks.
