I'm thinking of making a celtic knot pen, but would like to see if anyone has tips on how to glue the 45-degree segments together. I guess my initial idea is to glue the three pieces together (two blank halves plus the thin inlay strip), then put the three in a vise to hold the sides in line, then apply a C-Clamp across the horizontal axis.
Would this work, or is there an easier why? I saw in the tutorial that you can make your kerf cut (but not all the way through), then simply glue in the inlay strip and clamp til dry. I'll try this, but I'll be using my bandsaw - small kerf. But there will come a time when I want to use an inlay piece that is wider than a blade kerf.
Ugh - gluing is always a nuisance, not to mention a little tricky at times.
