Ok Kenny, I want to see how much (or little) glue you use on glue up of that screamer. I need the help. I can't glue one up with out getting glue everywhere. On me, the hose, the form, the floor, everywhere.

Thanks Ben , David I'll try to get a good measurement on the glue!! LOL

I got to the shop long enough to put some stuff away and slick the riser up a bit to check glue lies....

OK, a little tonite after some serious lam work...

First, making the lams, the taper sled for bandsaw and the preacher stick(it don't lie)for setting rough lam thickness

Here's how I use it to set rough lam thickness, sled is kicked up on leading edge so you can see it. Looking for .115 butt on the .002 taper, so I add .035 for sanding.,...

Sled against fence, lam blank against sled. Cut tapers instead of sanding parallels to tapers...

Then off to the beast to grind to proper thickness. .002,.001 tapers, and 2 pair parallels...

Here is the glass I'm gonna use, what you think, will it look ok?

All I had was 1" tape so put 2 pieces on and trimmed, if you keep the glue sorta under control, no prob!!....

The bocote and brown glass look sharp together

What are the accent stripes??

kennym · « **Reply #73 on:** March 16, 2017, 10:45:00 PM »

Maple and Bocote accents. Plain Jane ...

Although im not the biggest fan of the brown glass, im sure its going to look awesome. Loving this thread....

It's going to look great.
Kenny, that Preacher Stick is great. I use the one you made all the time. I always forget to use the sled when I resaw

Thanks for the reminder!

Lookin great so far

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #77 on:** March 17, 2017, 04:19:00 PM »

Most of Kenny's glass is brown. I kinda gotta an idea why too...

Mad Max · « **Reply #78 on:** March 17, 2017, 07:08:00 PM »

can't wait for Saturday

kennym · « **Reply #79 on:** March 17, 2017, 08:48:00 PM »

Looking my riser plan over this evening, marked it out on the riser and don't like it. Geometry with the accent is not good.

Think I'm going back to original. have to saw a bit on form but think I can do it with hardware on it.

Have to get some pcs as thick as the bolts are sticking out and screw to the form to slide on bandsaw table......

Should be able to glue up tomorrow anyway....
