TITEBOND III

Titebond has been our choice of wood glues for numerous wood gluing tasks here on Hawthorne Avenue. We've used so much that we have bought the gallon jug for refills!

BUILDING THE BALUSTRADE

We now are continuing the task of building the balustrade.

   We are taking a pile of wood and ripping it.

(What a pile of sawdust!)

We are stacking it.

(The grain must go in the same direction.)

We are gluing and clamping it.

We are  routing it.

(Before routing)

(After routing)

We sanded it.

(Billye helped sand.)

(Wallace used the orbital sander to get the saw blade marks out of the wood.)

                     All this to duplicate the existing balustrade.
