Organize glue-up supplies
The glue station holds glue bottles and dispos-
able towels in boxes measuring about 9⅜"
square by 10¼" tall. For different towel pack-
ages, adjust the part sizes as needed.
1
Cut glue station parts F–L [Glue Station
Materials List]. Jigsaw the bottom (F)
[Drawing 2], and sand the opening.
2
Bevel the hanging cleat (G) the same as in
clamp rack Step 4.
3
Glue and nail the bottom (F) and top (H)
to the sides (I). Then add the hanging
cleat (G) and lower rail (J) [Photo B].
4
Cut the upper sides (K). Measure for
parts L [Photo C] and cut them to length.
Glue the upper sides to parts L.
5
Glue and clamp the top assembly (K/L)
to the top of the F–J assembly.
6
Apply three coats of wipe-on polyure-
thane and hang the glue station.
