Laminating Our Knees With Epoxy (3x37)

Exibido em:: Abr 17, 2022

This week we're going to show you how we saw up and laminate our knees. They're made from white oak laminates and will be over 2 inches thick when all glued up. Using the top figured knee as a pattern we're going to trace the shape onto our laminates and then cut them out on the band-saw. Then each layer will be taped together individually and then the whole bunch so that we can drill holes to coordinate them when we re-stack and glue them. We're using our TotalBoat 2:1 high performance epoxy with the medium hardener and we're going to thicken it a little bit so it doesn't run as we lay up our laminates.
