Gluing the rib set.

I had a little time this morning so I fired up my $5 glue pot and heated up some hide glue that I mixed up the night before.

I got the whole thing glued up in about 15  minutes. Hide glue is great. I noticed some areas that I didn't have perfectly clamped but I didn't have time to fix it before leaving for work. No big deal, hide glue is great. All I have to do when I get time is put a few drops of water in the gaps and hit it with my heat gun and clamp it shut. You can't do that with any of todays "modern" glues. That's all for now, I'd show pictures but it really doesn't look any different then it did without glue. Have a great day.
