Titebond Wood Glue-Bessey Pipe Clamp
Anyone that has done a fair share of wood gluing can tell you that titebond wood glue does the job well….. as will most major brand wood glue products. Just happened to get a cool photo of this tried and trued wood working staple and figured may as well due its due respect. Also shown in the photo is a Bessey Pipe Clamp during a cabinet door glue up. Another timeless staple in any wood shop. These recent “H” designs are really great especially because the large feet make it very easy to lay your work flat while glue is drying.
Kreg Cabinet Hinge Hole Jig
if you have a couple of cabinet doors to drill holes for this high works just fine. It requires a few minutes of layout for each hole, unlike some of the more expensive cabinet hardware jigs, which take any measurement needed out of the equation. Long story short- a door or two great product that gets the job done, but if your looking to make an entire kitchens cabinet doors, many be better off with a more advanced jig that you can set up once and then forget about it and simply hold up to each door and drill.
