Fancied a bash at this for ages and thought this weekend seemed like as good a time as any.

Wow, have I learned some stuff today.
1.   These are a sight harder than they look
2.   CA stinks
3.   CA sticks to everything it shouldn't
4.   These are a sight harder than they look
5.   You need to be absolutely square all round.
6.   Surgical gloves are superb
7.   These are a sight harder than they look

Well, it ain't right but I'm going to continue on with it for the experience. I have gaps in the blank all ready so it won't be any good, but I'm treating it as a learning curve. Hopefully the next will better. Drill and turn tomorrow after the thin CA has soaked in overnight.

Here's the stack after glue up.

Maple, Rhodesian Copalwood and Purpleheart.
