Back glued on #3 mandolin
I glued the back on using my newly made spool clamps, they are a big improvement over using half a dozen assorted bar clamps, C clamps, etc. There's a much better chance of getting a uniform glue joint all the way around. Last night I glued the labels in all 3 of the mandolins I'm working on. I used hide glue which is what a lot of builders use for gluing labels, but it was enough of a pain that I'll probably be using Titebond wood glue from now on.
