Red Oak Pizza Cutter

[Waluy]

Nothing fancy just a pizza cutter with a Red Oak handle. Having some trouble with the glue not curing in it though its been 3 days and the glue is still just like it came out of the bottle. Thinking I may need to clean it out and use a different type of glue, maybe some liquid nails will do the trick.

Looks great. I use a very small dab of Gorilla glue on my handles. Use too much and you wind up cleaning it off the exterior as it does expand. Others may have better ideas but that is my little piece of advice.
Good work. You gave me an idea for a new product and made me hungry as well.

I use 5 minute exopy or a medium/thick CA glue on stoppers. Both are "gap filling" and when hardened, should lock the wood to the metal.

The handle looks great. Did you put a finish on it? As for the glue, what did you use? Thick CA? I would try the Epoxy mentioned above, next time. It will dry eventually.

Yeah it has a light clear gloss poly finish on it. As for the glue I used Gorilla Glue Wood Glue, (doesn't expand) I think that was my problem.
