re: Bench Top Glue Up

Thank you all for the great comments. Now for some answers…the mixture I used was not as diluted as when I was using oak. I thing it was about 3% water instead of 5%. For the leg glue up I used about one and a half litres or almost two of my glue bottles.,
,
This doubled my glue up time for both glue ups at about 1 hr still being able to move. However with the bench top I applied less wanting to get thinner glue lines and only having to do 2 boards I had lots of time to position. I used about 2400ml or three bottles for the top, but had about 10% waste as runout onto the floor or the wax paper under the bench and top of the table.,

For the stretchers it will be birch to maple and oak. I will be staying with the current mixture that allows for 45mins- 1 hr time for me to work, as always I will measure cut and dry fit before glue up.,

The total project will be about a gallon US after completing the stretchers then the shelves. For them I will be laminating 2 sheets of 3/4" and 2 sheets of 1/4 plywood for a total of 2" thick plywood shelving on the bottom for weight. , the shelf/stretcher bottom will have a 4" toe height and top of 11" to allow for max storage if I decide to build shelves/drawers later on. Thanks for following. Any other questions or tips fire away
