Triticum Agricolam Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 To get a good glue joint you should use glue or clamps, IMHO. In the end both will provide you will good results. A air nailer can be very useful for keeping things where you want them when using clamps. Compared to clamping, screws are slow.

DLHgn Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 Ehhhh, i'm going to have to disagree. As far as i've seen, the screws do much of nothing once everything is said and done. That glue joint will probably be stronger than the screws and definitely stronger than the wood. Your normal wood glue doesn't do a very good job at sealing because it doesn't really expand. If you need to seal, caulking will do that. I like using PL for that as it expands quite a bit and holds things together like a mofo. Not saying you can't have an airtight joint with just wood glue, as I've seen plenty of people do it, but your cuts have to be very straight.

That's more of what I should've said. Most people will use the nails to keep the pieces in place so they can put the clamps on without having to have this awkward balancing act.

cleto13 Posted September 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 I'm so jealous of that guy's table saw lol and very cool video should I incorporate any 45* angles in my port? I'm hesitant to deviate from the sketch I was given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldeneye4564 Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 nope. leave the port as is. also i would double up on the port walls as well, 1.5" thick and make sure there are no gaps where it meets the top and bottom of the box or else the low tuning will rip off your port walls. if you do have some gaps, might want to get PL premium and fill them up good.
