Woodworkers continued to work on their cutting boards this week.
A key reminder for how the process needs to go was reviewed several times:
Each class reviewed glue up procedures. The most important thing is to practice first, so that one can ensure that the board glues up FLAT on the clamps or cauls. It is also vital to have ENOUGH cauls so that clamping pressure is distributed across ALL of the length of the joints. This glue up will fail because there are no cauls and not enough clamps.
The next glue up will be very hard to flatten and finish because the board is not flat all the way across it's bottom:
The following clamp up might be ok, though the two clamps in the middle are redundant.
