Sometimes you need to glue boards together to make up thicker stock for table legs, furniture making & turning projects. This is the best way for gluing wood together to get thicker boards. Super simple but effective way to keep all the wood aligned while clamping just by using a parallel clamp and some f style clamps. I find this method a lot easier than using cauls, salt or nails.

Buddy Rich isn’t alive anymore. Your friend is a fraud.
bro!
Basics aren’t always shared! Awesome vid
Guess I need to buy some parallel clamps lol
Good one..Will try the same…
Genius. Head slapping moment. John woodworker from County Durham England
Very useful tip, how would I glue up something wider say eight inch? I’m thinking of using wood blocks bolted together to sandwich the glue up. Again, thanks for the tip!
Jim Hackett
EXCELLENT, thank you.
Can’t you clean the glue off before it dries? Thanks
Nice! That slippery glue has always been an issue for me. Now I know how to deal with it.
This is common sense….duh!!!
Nothing new.
Awesome tip which I will be using on my projects! Thank Nick
MAN you’re nice. "This isn’t that big of a thing, I’m sure lots of people have thought of this." "I appreciate you taking the time to watch this."
Me, a rough beginner with a LITTLE bit of skill: lol yeah I already thought of it and you sure am lucky I took time out of my busy day of sitting on the couch with the cat oh wait, no, I haven’t thought of ANYTHING and my day’s not that busy
I’ve been doing this since I started woodworking BUT the SALT tip is what I really needed! Thanks.
Would this work for glueing two very wide boards together?
Thanks Nick
Omg you have to put glue on top of glue? I was only gluing one piece to the other. I never thought to put glue on BOTH pieces before sticking them together.
It’s a wonder my creations are still holding strong! Lol
How to get edges parallel? In this videos edges were not parallel. what do do if I do not have the Besseys parallel clamps, but I must glue panels?
You can rub them together a few times and it will take the slip out and stay exactly where you want it

What is the salt thing?
Thanks very much. I’m a beginner and this helps me a lot.
👍👏👏👏
Great video Nick, what kind of glue do you use in the video to join the pieces? "Titebond 2 Glue For Most Projects"
Thank You 👍🤘😊👊
I’ve never seen this method before, the parallel clamp usage is a brilliant idea! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Neat
Thanks
Use sawdust for the seasoning, problem solved.
…this video is 7 mins too long.
Multiple issues:
1) This works ONLY if the wood is EXACTLY the same width, but if your rough gluing up a Chair leg blank, why cut it to such exact dimensions when you’re just going to cut it later anyway so clamping both sides with a parallel clamp is useless without a lot of extra work.
2) A much better way is to clamp the wood with the edge that you want lined up down against the clamp edge so that you know that one edge will be even and
3) the pressure from a Clamp radiates out in a 45-degree angle from the clamp. He really should be using a Caul or at the very least an unglued set of boards on each edge so that the clamping pressure radiates further out.
true this is basic stuff every carpenter should know…
i love how he just appeared in the room, i bet that little detail took way more time to do than it should have haha
Sawdust works instead of salt.
Just did my 2×4 benchtop, I ended up glueing up 2 at a time, upright at first to allow the weight distribution to spread the glue a bit+ it won’t spill out while you do the others in the event that the pieces your gluing have a bit of warp , then just did the ol glue ,turn, connect, repeat thing. Seemed to work but as always I wish I had more clamp’s it’s a good glueup, but it could a been better
I just done a glue joint like that wish I would have seen this video before then.
oh my god. never seen that before but I will be doing it from now on. I do a LOT of this kind of work and I have never heard of this before.
That’s nothing I’ve ever seen before either and I’m glad you shared that with me
Titebond don’t recommend 🧂 as it can effect the chemical composition of the glue and weaken the joint .Great video btw 👍
Just use bar clamps or pipe clamps so they rest on the bar to get them flush. Tighten them up then flush them up then tighten again and flush them with a piece of stock wood and a hammer after they are tight. repeat as needed
Simple but effective!!
Great idea thanks for sharing.
Oh, that’s awesome. What a great idea. Thanks!
I’m definitely trying this tomorrow
Thanks for posting.. I went over to buddy’s channel !! Cool 😎
Thank you for sharing this useful tips
Thanks for this brilliant
Great tip. Thanks much.
CAN U JUST GET TO THE POINT ALREADY?
Whenever the parallel clamp cannot be used, I use wooden dowels.
instead of salt you can also use any grit sandpaper and kind of scrape some of it over the glue up surface, works same way as the salt but more likely to have on hand in the shop
