Leg glue up

[Maurice Arney]

I glue all three at once. I fire a pin into a couple places on the faces that will be glued together and snip them off to provide a grip. This prevents the pieces from surfing on the glue whilst clamping pressure is applied. I then resaw an 1/8" veneer from one show face and apply it to the exposed three ends to dress them up. A chamfer or roundover will hide the seam. This gives you three good show sides.

Great idea! How do you get the pins in the correct location? Do you shoot them in from the outside?
