September 23: Gluing is underway. I’m using a 2″ paint brush to apply the glue liberally and then weights or clamps to hold the pieces together. I am doing all this work in my garage. I’ve used up 1/3 gallon of glue so far and I have yet to start the chair. All other pieces are glued together though.
After completing the chair I now have only 1″ remaining in the glue gallon. Whoa! The chair just ate up the glue. I got to say that gluing the 50-60 chair pieces was not a lot of fun. Now I know why I don’t do a manufacturing job. The repetitive nature was getting to me during the last 8 pieces. I grabbed anything that would weigh the chair down. Since Matthew has moved in with us we have stored some of his stuff in the garage, for example, some old soccer trophies and barbells.
