Setup for gluing the top. I have a red veneer to go under the top. The top is .60" in for a shallow carve. I ended up gluing the whole thing together at one time. Not recommended unless you have done it before... it has a pension for disaster. The idea is to glue one side together and have it clamped exactly. Next I spread glue all over everything and set the other side in place. Then I use 2 clamps and pull the top together from the sides before clamping it to the body.
After that I clamp it to the body and also use a couple of curved cauls across the top to put downward pressure in the middle. You have to reposition the clamps a lot.
Every clamp in the shop...
Left overs... none of this works without coffee... black.
