Clamps At Work. Lumix M4/3 14mm
What else is one to do on a day when it's approaching 100°F outside, but glue up a big panel? This is one of the cypress panels for the top of The Contraption - my Editor's name for the conjoined chest of drawers and cabinet which I have been working on for the last year and some - .
My cypress supply is sawn too thin to serve the function of a top which most likely will have heavy objects sitting on it. The answer is to beef things up by glueing a panel of oak to the back where it will never be seen. Since I acquired a set of "Deep Throat" clamps, this job has become a walk in the park - with George. The trusty F-clamps go around the edges, and the Deep Throats reach right into the middle to apply pressure there. Glue is applied with a paint roller so it forms a nice, even layer, and squeezes out just a little at the edges - just enough to know that there is enough... Tomorrow it will all be joined together .
