Wood Joint:Anywhere two
or more pieces of wood are
connected together.and take a very fine shaving off
with the block plane. After a
couple of passes off each check
the fit to see if the gaps are gone,
if not take a couple more until
you’re happy with the fit.Step 2
With the pieces fitting nicely together, it’s time to
glue them up. Spread a bead of glue on one edge,
then with a couple of clamps, bring the joint
together. Be careful and don’t tighten the clamps
too much or you’ll squeeze most of the glue out.
How do you know how much is enough? First off we need to
understand why we use clamps in the first place. Clamps are not used to
pull a joint together to get rid of gaps. That’s why we used the block
plane. So the clamps main purpose is to just add pressure to the joint so
the glue bonds to both pieces and so the pieces won’t come apart before
the glue dries. So tighten the clamps until they’re snug and you start to
see a line of glue just squeezing out of the joint.Glue squeeze out after clamping
