In this episode Paul shows how to glue up, or laminate, narrower boards to make up the top. This video will actually be helpful as a reference video for gluing up flat boards to make a wider surface, regardless of the project.
Great job guys, thanks for this one. 😉
Paul you have the patience of a saint i suppose it comes with the territory, its a trait i dont have YET great work
Wonderful video. Thank you!
Paul show us the virtute of patience, perseverance and… calm. Thank you!
Watching that was a great way to relax for half an hour, thanks!
I did a bunch of joining recently, and it’s refreshing to see the challenges I had with it were not mine alone. Good video!
So calm
Keep them coming Lads
Thanks Paul and Joseph another awesome video, I really enjoyed it.

Nice video. Does one need to modify the procedure for gluing up thinner, e.g. 3/8″, for a panel?
what are you thoughts on using cauls to help keep it flat? perhaps useful for longer panel glue-ups?
Would you mind explaining how the boards got cut to the dimensions we saw at the beginning of the video? By hand? Dare I say table saw? Thanks
I’m curious as to how you deal with the glue squeeze
out prior to finishing. I’m sure you have a way. I’m just curious as to what it is. I’ve had cutting edges ruined by hardened glue and the headaches when finishing are something to behold.
Liked the method of planing two boards at a time. I had been taught to oppose the annular rings on each board so that the tendency for cupping is countered by the adjacent board. What are your thoughts on this.
Paul,
Why not have the jointed edges sprung?
I’m glad that I’m not alone with my feels of utter feebleness during glue-up!
Paul the Brits are know in the States for their frugalness, but what’s with those cheap aluminum cramps?
Hi Shawn, I am not sure Paul will see this comment so I will reply on his behalf. Paul has, for the last couple of years, been teaching from a ‘minimalist’ point of view. He is trying to empower new woodworkers who may not have a full range of tools or many expensive tools. Paul can build wonderful furniture with a few hundred dollars worth of tools. He is just proving it.
This will not always be the case. Once we have fully proved our point we will move on to show the joys of using more specialist or more expensive tools and equipment.
After a hectic day at work or otherwise it is so refreshing to sit down and watch a video of Paul’s, he teaches, entertains and relaxes. Also I have found the Clamps he uses quite sufficient and economical. Thank you team Sellers for all you give to us!
