Biscuits!

Steve came in on Saturday, to let us catch up on shop work. I decided to glue up my recently acquired birch pieces. But since they are at their exact thickness, I had to make sure that the glue up was as precise as it could be. So I used biscuits.

And what better way to make biscuit holes than by using the biscuit cutter!



And a nice close up:



And this is it all glued up. This is the underside, since the grain varies a bit too much. I promise its really pretty on the other side.



But oh my god, it's heavy. And when I went to do the casting, the pieces they had already done were also really heavy. I can just hear the third years cursing me as they try to rearrange everyone's piece for Open House.
