I wonder if I was the only one worried about the glue blocks leaving marks on the desk surface 😀. Looks like the glue was applied to the blocks and the activator on the desk surface to minimize staining. Looks like it works. Nice job so far looking forward to the rest of the build 👍

Thank you for sharing this video, exactly what I needed before my next project.....Did you level both pieces of wood?
@Benham_Design Жыл бұрын
Thanks, yep both pieces were flattened on both sides

@@Benham_Design Did you keep the router height the same for both boards? Meaning, the lowest point of one board was used for both?
@Benham_Design Жыл бұрын
Yes, I flattened one side of both boards. Then I flipped them over and did the first one. Once I was at the final depth on the first board I set the stop on the router so I could still do multiple passes on the second but stop at the same thickness.

I'm new to this; am almost ready for my glue-up. What is the spray before the glue with the clamping blocks? A sealer to prevent the glue discoloring/penitrating the grain?
@Benham_Design Жыл бұрын
The spray is an activator, it causes the CA glue to setup within a few seconds so you don't have to wait. The exact name depends on the brand you are using. I've found most brands to all be pretty comparable. I get whatever woodcraft has in stock that day .

Did you find it was worth the care to not use clamps on the live edge or would you worry about it again?
@Benham_Design2 жыл бұрын
Yes, I have dented live edges in the past and also introduced a cup in the top from uneven clamping pressure. This method has proven foolproof so far and solved my other problems.
@macmcmillen62823 жыл бұрын
This was really instructive. Thanks! A couple of questions. 1) Did you flatten those pieces using a router rather than a planer simply because of the size of the pieces? 2) When cutting those pieces, was that styrofoam underneath them? Thanks again!
@Benham_Design3 жыл бұрын
Yes on both questions, they were too big to fit through the planer, and the styrofoam is rigid insulation to protect the workbench from the saw blade.

Could you not have used strap clamps to pull the two table top pieces together ?
@Benham_Design3 жыл бұрын
Possibly, but I'm not sure strap clamps would give as much pinpoint pressure in the right spots as the glue blocks. Also strap clamps are the work of the devil with all their tangled parts😜

@Benham_Design2 жыл бұрын
Force it into submission with the C channel, if it needs more encouragement, maybe make some relief kerf cuts on the underside to help relieve pressure. If that doesn't work, I'd cut my losses and start over.
