Nice Jig Rober. How about putting a bit of thin plastic bag between the jig and the wood just in case?

Good thinking. Or I was thinking some greaseproof paper, lightly waxed? No idea if that would work or not?

What glue are you going to use?

When I make this type of thing I use Titebond and the glue leaks out everywhere because I always apply enough :funny:
I use pieces of wood that I allow to stick to it and then saw them off after.

Well, I have at my disposal, wood glue, superglue or 5 minute epoxy resin.

I want to give myself a bit of time positioning the pieces, so that's superglue out.

I was going to opt for wood glue, as even after a couple of minutes I find the 5MER hard to work with. But I'm not sure if that will bond with the barrel well enough? What do you reckon?

I don't have any titebond (not even sure what it is, should I add it to my shopping list?)

Titebond is a woodglue. I've never had a problem with it not bonding to the tube. I've also used ca and because of the amount you use, you do have time to work with it but produces a lot of fumes so beware if you use that. I can hear Neil sitting on my shoulder saying to use the epoxy.

I always use Med to thick CA for segmenting it dose give you a lot of extra time to line up

For that sort of jig and the woods you're using I would use some cascamite but each to his own init?

I find the paper that contains cereals in the box is good to use to stop glue sticking!

This worked a treat, TOP TIP, thanks :thumbs:

/adds variety pack of cereals on shopping list/

/realises they don't sell cereals at Axminster. Scrubs out and adds to partners shopping list/

Now to turn it. Did I mention I'm getting a lathe today? :banana:
