I did use thicker CA once and I would consider it a mistake and would tell others don't do it. With the thicker stuff, when I first started the sander the glue sort smeared and did a pore fill of sorts in an area about the size of a silver dollar around the gap. It came clean after quite a bit of extra sanding but I wasn't happy at first.

This is what I started using for big glue ups and don't think I will look for anything better. This thing is great for this type of glue ups and you can't beat the price, it comes with a spare roller but I have yet to need it. They also offer a larger model. JAC Glue Applicator

Just to throw something out there, I have the Incra 5000 and the sled is 16 deep X 24 wide but the fence is 36 inches wide and can be extended. Also there is 6 inches behind the fence because of the protractor so the would make the sled about 24 deep but it doesn't really change the capacity.

My way to get it right is remember you want to move your mark in the same direction as you want the joint to tighten.

Why? because you think we haven't done it a few hundred times ourselves, Lol. There could be a few fixes but what it comes down to is will it really matter and the answer is probably not at all.

Got some good progress going there. Interesting using the unistruts for cauls.

Those are cool and you idea for getting the rest to folks that need them is outstanding. Do you have any VFW Posts around you or maybe contact the Wounded Warrior organization.

Do you know if you can spray it also?

I got the DFM Toolworks I heard good reviews on it PLUS it is in 1/32 increments instead of 1/16 https://www.amazon.com/DFM-Steel-Dowel-Plate-English/dp/B07Q4RY3T7

I have gone to using a dowel plate. Now I can do any species dowel... wish I had done this a while ago.

I had thought about making the stand but for $15 I just decided to by it.

I bought a conversion kit for my Fuji spray gun. The gun I have is 1 quart pressure feed and I got the 400 cc gravity feed conversion cup kit for it. I also picked up the 6 ft. whip hose. It only takes a couple of minutes to change the cups back and forth. I tried it out on a small prototype box that I had built. I think it is going to be real nice especially on smaller stuff but it seems like you can turn the gun in almost any orientation and not loss and material flow. I know with my old cup the minute you got below half full if you turned the gun sideways it would start to sputter some. Also, I don't know why I waited so long to spend $36 to get the whip hose, what a joy it is to spray now without fighting the heavy stock hose. Cup kit and whip hose This is my existing gun. And this is it with the new cup.

If you go to Benchcrafted's website At the top they have a button for instructions. They should have the information you are looking for. It's all in pdf files so you can down load the pdf and print it out.

Just consider me your research source before you buy.

I had a cordless circular saw and actually used it quite a bit but the big thing was I had it in my truck because my lumber yard occasionally has stuff that is 14 foot. So I would cut it down because even with a flag here in California it is illegal if it is over 4 feet past your tailgate. I don't know if he remembers but one time we needed it we didn't have it because we had Kev's truck. ? Now I take my Milwaukee cordless jigsaw.

+1 I think the one trap can be videos. You see someone doing some technique in a video and the tool makes it look more accurate or refined s you think you need it too. This is why seasoned hobbyist's tell newbies don't buy a tool until you need it for a project.

I had a project that I needed 18 f-style clamps for a glue up. Bessey's would have run about $550 total for that number. But this was sort of a one time deal so I didn't want to sink that much in to clamps. But Menards sells some F style clamps called master force, that for the price I think are the best ones on the market. Theirs cost me about $180 They only come in three sizes, 12, 24 & 36 inches, but they only cost $10, $12 and $14 each. I like the handles better then my Bessey's. The plastic no mar pads don't stay on well but neither do the ones on my Bessey's. I am replacing them all with leather as the come off.

Welcome to the forums RIW.

Yea, that is what my wife and I have been talking about. Does seem like a fair amount of them are wearing masks, so there is that, hopefully

The one I was thinking of was a guy named Tom Cancelleri

I used to have a neighbor that had all his fishing poles on his garage door. Just saying Jamie.

I don't want to rush you but I saw a guy build a Roubo in a week, actually I think it was 6 days.?

When I used to use pipe clamps I had a hand full of different lengths of pipe stored in the corner of the shop I could change to when I needed a different size.

If it were me and beings he is going to add some back on anyway I would add on enough to get back to at least his original plan for 3 inches.
