    Hi guys, I am attempting to make a so called modern wood wall art or a sound diffuser to be hung on the wall. Everything is prepared and the 250 pieces of wood are ready to be glued on the board. This is a closeup of the pieces of wood (spruce) and the 10mm board: At this point im not...

    Hello everyone! 12 months ago I bought a gallon of TiteBond II glue. It has been sitting in a shelf in my garage waiting for me. I am now ready to start laminating multiple 2x5s. These will create the top for a workbench. Any idea on using one-year old glue? I don't want to mess up the...

    I used hot glue to affix some decorative stuff to a diamond willow walking stick but when I went to finish it with Varathane spray it dissolved the bond. Is there a recommended glue that will hold firm after spraying ? TIA for any assistance.

    Hi all! First time user and first posting. I have a drop leaf table that I was given. The only issue is the main leg is split. Would it be worth gluing or replacing it? Thoughts and recommendations are always appreciated!

    PVA (Polyvinylacetate (I think), is the same as Titebond (I think). I make small boxes with mitred joints on the sides ends and also but joints for the top and bottom. Inevitably there is squeezeout which invades the surrounding wood pieces. It can't be left of course. I use a drinking straw...

    Has anyone ever had a problem when edgebanding where there are glue spots that end up on the material? I have a Giben edgebander and recently we have been finding small glue spots on the material but a couple inches for the actual edge getting banded. Almost like the glue is spraying from...

    People, I am trying to find a way to glue these two pieces of wood together to make a small table. But as you can see the bottom log is holed from its top (it used to be for small candles). I am not experienced in wood working and I am hoping not to cut big parts of the log (if possible)...

    Hello, I have a plastic widget that has some smooth, fairly gentle curves that go for about 6" and I want to glue some 1mm or so thick veneers that I have cut out of different types of wood. What would be the best glue to use? CA glue, standard titebond wood glue or something else? I'd like to...

    I have to glue down an L-shaped "bullnose" across a wide, wood-floored, concrete step tomorrow morning. I don't have a choice in the matter - it is already there, and the bullnose is partially pulled up. The bullnose was originally tacked down with small finish nails, but the nails could only...

    I got the 59" x 30" linnmon black/brown top for my new computer desk (apparently it's made of fiberboard/particleboard and filled with paper). I also bought one of those fancy ergonomic metal arm keyboard trays (humanscale 6G). Well, the keyboard tray arm thing weighs about 20lbs, and I'm...

    I'm building maple face frame cabinets with prefinished 3/4" plywood boxes. For the wall cabinets, the sides, top, and bottom are tongue and grooved into the face frame and will be glued. The sides have dados that the tops and bottoms fit into and will also be glued. The upper rear rail is...

    I usually don't try to glue dissimilar woods together because of the mismatched expansion factors. However, I have some dark lyptus that would look really nice contrasted with some white hard maple on a project I'm doing. I want to glue a length 6 inch 1.25 inch wide of hard maple to a matching...

    I am making a 11' x 5' table top out of 5 beams that measure 11'x4"x12". These are HEAVY beams. they are not perfectly jointed or sanded. Much of the seams make decent contact but there are portions where there is an 1/8" gap. Is there a best glue to use for this? I will obviously clamp them...

    We are building shaker cabinets, but we made the insets different for ease and looks, and now we're paying for it. Basically, instead of using ply insets and doing tongue and groove to insert them, we got 1 by X boards. So they range from 1x3 to 1x10 boards. It looks nicer, but what we did was...

    I made a small walnut shadow box for a friend and after applying the first coat of danish oil finish the lid separated from the the wall of the box at one corner. The gap is only about the thickness of printer paper and extends about an inch in both directions from the corner. My first idea...

    I need to glue a 1/4-inch oak plywood to the back of a mirror (bathroom cabinet, made from 3/4-inch red oak). I do not want to damage the silver backing on the mirror by using the wrong glue. There are hundreds of glues out there, and of course they all claim to be the best. But what glue is the...

    Hey does anybody have any ideas where to get a machine like this one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZsRU0oxiXU I'm trying to glue dovetail boxes that I cut with a laser machine and as of right now I'm having to do it by hand with a brush. The machine above was made in Poland and they no...
