Yup, glued and nailed. If you look close, you can see some of the nail holes. Unfortunately, they will need to be filled later.

Also, I still have one more piece of walnut to cut and install on the left side.

Good evening folks.

Supposedly the heat wave will be over tomorrow. Yay!!!

Son stopped by today and we spend some time working on the windows for the 5th wheel, so my time was limited.

I did however, manage to cut and glue together a couple of pieces of walnut that will be used on the left side of the drawers.

I should be able to get that glued in tomorrow.

Here's a pic of that. Sad to say, that's all I had time for, but hopefully, tomorrow will be better.

How would you compare Titebond III to Elmer's?

I think they are both good. I used to use Elmers, but Titebond came out with their water proof line, and I switched quite a while back and have had good results, so I just stayed with it.

Good shrink tape holds together and is re-usable for another round of glue later. I know, who cares, right? Lol. [emoticon]

Almost had a calamity today. Well, not really. I pulled out an acid brush to apply some glue, and on about the second or third stroke, almost all of my bristles disappeared. Oops. Evidently, they were not crimped properly.

Welding clamps. What are they good for? Lots of things.

Here is one use that make it very convenient. On occasion, when I join 2 pieces of wood that are already the correct thickness, I add my glue, and hold them together with a wood clamp.

Then, in order to make sure the pieces of wood are flush with each other, I will apply the welding clamp for just a few seconds to make sure.

I'll then go down the line - (this setup was over 30 inches long), and apply pressure every few inches and the wood clamps hold them together properly.

Easy peasy.
