I was just wondering, how do you get so perfect glue joints, almost invisible. Is it the glue or the pressure? | ||

They also have a huge old press that stuff gets put into after glue is applied. Dave | ||

oh I would I love to work there, I visited the factory on 25th Sept 2000, it was the day I was made redundant, even though I am from then UK I would just sweep the floors, make coffee, tidy up. Maybe advise them on Occupational Health since that is my profession. If you have a 'bucket list' at some point in your life then make a visit to the factory top of your list. | ||

Its simple - top quality planer thicknesers produce perfect square edges that mate perfectly...add good quality wood glue, clamps and ....voila! All Alembics are held tighly together with good old PVA!! | ||

John... "All Alembics are held tighly together with good old PVA!!" is that the same as Evo Stick's Resin 'W'? Graeme (Message edited by jacko on December 04, 2008) | ||

Eh.... Graeme, I think the aforementioned Evo stick would do a marvelous job on the kind of pieces of paper that probably clutter peoples desks - but certainly not luxurious, lusterous hardwoods  | ||

It's a wood glue John. I use it on most of my structuural joints when I'm building something in the house. I also used it when I made my first bass, A fretless Gibson RD copy that's been kicking around the house since around 1978. Graeme | ||

Oh , I get it...that will certainly do the business! I like "gorilla glue" it is very very strong and also acts as a bit of a gap filler (essential when your woodworking skills arent totally perfect like Alembics - ie..mine!!!) |
