Nice work.

It is better to spread the glue so the entire face of the joint is covered before you put the pieces together. Rubbing the joint should get rid of any air bubbles. Any place where glue is not making good contact is a place for the joint to begin to fail. Heavy duty clamps would also benefit this. Fortunately, you have a very good dry joint.

[@gingram815]

Agreed if you need a nice tight glue joint. For big timbers like this with lots of surface area, rubbing them together and then pulling them apart to see if the glue is covering well works.

[@bobbyb1607]

Exactly. While spreading glue over the entirety of both surfaces gives the strongest glue joint, there is so much glue surface that even with only 75% coverage it will be more than strong enough.

Lol so now we need a couple of benches to build the bench. Going to build mine out of solid gold. Cheaper than a 4x6. Wonder if sheet metal would be cheaper though haha.

[@ingramcarpentry6451]

Sawhorses would work fine. Wood is crazy expensive these days. These were salvaged, though. You're likely better off getting a slab from a saw mill, letting it dry for at least a year, and then making it.

I am pretty sure you can still buy handbook with all details you need on woodprix.
