This is why the top of our assembly table is a 4'x8'x0.50" sheet of UHMWPE. 30 seconds with any kind of tool or even just a piece of wood and it's good as new again after a few years.

I think 5 clamps is enough!!

[myxpykalix]

Well i just used 6...:) I hate to glue something up only to see a small crack where you didn't have enough pressure to close it after the glue dries!

[jerry_stanek]

what do you use to cut the clamps off after gluing?

[myxpykalix]

isn't that what they invented sledge hammers for?:eek:

Too much glue is sometimes a problem. Too little glue is always a problem.

Another reason to at least wipe the glue off with a wet
towel is because if you ran that piece of wood through a planer,
there would be chip marks in the sharp edge of the planer blade...

I use the red paper that you use under hardwood floor for my bench cover because it rarely bleeds through, its cheap and a couple of staples on the end of the bench will keep it in place.

I use for painting bench also...

Have a good New Years

I always tell new guys in the shop I would rather waste glue than wood.
here is my setup. I like to see the glue squeeze out and run a little.

[harryball]

I generally use wax paper to protect the clamps myself. I'd rather have a little too much glue to wipe up than not enough and it falls apart. As for clamps, "you can never have too many clamps".

Wish you were my neighboor Andrew!

[Chrissy]

Andrew can you pls tell me how to make Bob as tidy in his "playroom" as you are obviously in yours? But if your wife is the ckeaner-up dont answer. I once made the mistke of "tidying" up as a surprise and all he did was complain for months he couldn't find anything. Must be the difference between male and female logic. :rolleyes:

[Ajcoholic]

Well I have to say I'm the tidy one.... I am always cleaning up after her at home... And she doesn't come to the shop often :)

I actually have OCD. If I don't keep things just so, I get very anxious to the point I get panic attacks and shortness of breath. Sometimes I wish I could just work and leave the mess for later, but cleaning up is a daily ritual and it seems to keep things in check!

It took me a while to get things under control in terms of not going "overboard" since at one time I use to do things that "didn't indeed doing"... But I have gotten a handle on that.

Yesterday morning I cleaned the shop, ready to get back to work tomorrow. I have so much work this year I am already stressing over deadlines and so forth. But it's a great problem to have!

[Brian Harnett]

Andrew if you came in my shop you would have a panic attack thats for sure.

I tend to have 5 projects and stuff everywhere drives my wife a little nuts but I don't put stuff in her area.

Wish I had a little more of a cleanup drive but its just not there.

The way it works it doesn't bother me unless its my space. Even in our house, it's only certain areas. But at work, I think since it is my space, it is the whole shop.

It's something few know about me.... strange but true :). Also makes me difficult to work for unless you get that EVERYTHING has to go back to its proper place after use, every time.
