    Interresting hints thought the excess of Titebond advertising is a bit annoying

    This is pretty basic stuff, but it's the basic stuff that we take for granted and just assume we know. Very useful - thanks.

    excellent primer on glue-ups! Surprised how little glue Ed Pirnik uses, and will have to change my ways.....
