Haha!!! I have got pretty good at it now. I try and think of it like cancer, so avoid getting it on my hands at all cost.

Top tip...never seen that before. When using sash cramps I always use 4 cramps, 2 on top and 2 below, always counteract the force being generated from below.

Yeah thats the way. I find if the workpiece thickness is thinner than the centre of the screw thread the piece being clamped trys to bow into the bar of the clamp and holds it straight. need clamps both sides for thicker though.

Great tip. We build mostly cope and stick doors in my shop. Just use Titebond 2 and hold the glue back from the inside corner about 3/8". Clamp tight and is solid in 15 minutes. Easy water clean up.

I don't know any custom wood workers who use UP glue. We all use one of the Tight Bond glues. Maybe it's just a "we always did it that way" thing.

I used to use a lot of aliphatic resin and cascamite, but found myself doing a lot of work with accoya, so transitioned to PU witht hat, its definitley a learning curve but i hardly ever use other glues now. The strength and speed is just fantastic, plus the cost. Itjust can be a little tricky to work with

Great tip mate, had some horrible times trying to clean up mouldings etc. which can make you glue shy, but with PU you can’t really go wrong it holds like shit on a blanket! A tip back at you though is acetone! You’ve probably got some in your make up drawer for getting the nail polish off after the weekend 😉 On a cloth, takes it off beautifully at the soft stage in a pinch, more than likely‘compromise’ adhesion at that spot, but lesser of to evils, great for tools / clamps etc. Have a great weekend mate 💄 😂

thanks Als, ive just read your other comment and catching up on all of them. Ill deffo try it.

good tip ill try this - update on your scribing method with a 12 or 10mm belt sander - tried that and found it slow and the belt snapped frequently - probably because I had quite a lot to remove on some beech frames (hard timber and probably 20 linear metres to do!) found that a sanding/ abrasive disc on a small angle grinder was actually more accurate and used only one disc! takes some practice but you can get very good results... even if you decide the belt sander is better the disc sander will get you 99 percent of the way first - however must be done outside! dust is not something the customer wouldn't appreciate!

Not sure what you’re scribing, but the table saw can make a great job of it, it’s a fiddle for a small job, but if you have a lot it a game changer and arc of blade gives you a perfect back cut. Just enter at an angle, you’ll figure it out. Or the collins coping foot is awesome for one off’s

Cheers Rob, yeah The sander is only really for intricate work as like you say its dead slow! Grinder works wonders outside, i tend to rebate the frame with a planer to leave a 10mm lip that can be scribed easier. The ideal tool would be like a rasp on the narrow belt sander haha

Great tip again! I detest PU Glue with a passion due to the mess it creates, but I will be trying this one mate. I appreciate that PU is needed for ACCOYA and Tri-coya but also hate the limited open time on the stuff so do tend to use the 45 min PU Glue rather than the 5- or 30-min versions if I do use it on lager glue ups. Failing that I use PRF Glue from Ureka adhesives which gives me a much longer open time and is fully compatible with chemically enhanced timbers it's just expensive!

Great tip! I also usually reach for the PU for the reasons you listed, most of all the speed. Do you think a tinted caulk would work for natural finish doors? I usually end up scraping in there with a Stanley blade after the glue has gone off.

Depends if staining or just lacquer I guess. The glue squeeze is what stops the stain from soaking in isn't it, so anything squeezing out will be a pain. You can get clear MS polymer like CT1

That's another great tip - I'm going to coin a new phrase - "a bradshaw belter" - feel free to use it :)
