What I do is stand them on the 90º side all next to each other and glue the birdmouth side.  Lay them flat and run a piece of duct tape under the edge and leave a tail on the right side.  Do this for both ends.  Now they will just roll up the left side and then the right and then push both side together and flip the Duct tape around to hold things in place.  Now I use stretch film to wrap 20 layers on both ends.  And then about every foot or so in the length, I make three or four wraps of stretch tape to act as a barrier to keep the glue off the ratchet strap.  I then place a strap at each area of stretch wrap with a twice around wrap.  Then make sure the ratchet is on a flat and not a point and cinch them down.  Now I take a dead blow hammer and beat the snot out of all the joints.  This will settle any lifts and will true the column up nicely. 

I seen in one of the pictures there were block in the inside.  Those were a resting place for the end caps and had nothing to do with main assemble gluing.

Mike OK

They are both glued with a slightly different process Bill so your input was great too. Mike used a strapping clamp where
as the others were glued using the blocks and traditional clamps if I'm seeing it right?

Hello Guys!  (Just got home form work.)

 

Here are a few pix. that Mike sent me, a few year back.

Bill,

Thanks - the pic saved a thousand words.

It's clear how he used the "glue blocks".

Cheers!

.I didn’t use blocks in any bird mouths I ever did I just used band clamps with grease proof paper under them

So the glue wont stick to the strap.

someone smarter than me who has used blocks will have to explain that one

Bill,

 

Thanks.  In the write-up by Art and Mike on gluing up birdmouth cuts, one of them mentioned use of  "glue blocks"

("... with a larger column of this size each stave needs a .5" by .5"  clamping block about .5" from the edge.  Short blocks can break off as there can be considerable clamping pressure needed if there is wood movement." )

 

Would you please explain this - and perhaps include a diagram as to what they were recommending and where it/they would be attached?

 

Mike - maybe you can chime in as well - since you and Art were the ones in the write-up.  Thanks.

 

Thank you.

Mac

Nice idea curt if anyone has a set of birdmouth router bits they are good for making hollow poles

Like the old sailors did good for making bird houses you can also cut them on the table saw too

These are "NOT" mine, but ones that I found in Facebook. 

These are simple enough that any Legacy user could make these bird houses.

 

Just something to think about.
