When I get into the woodworking groove, the last thing I want to do is slow down and wait. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what I have to do when it comes to glue ups. Sure, you can do some work on those other parts of the project that aren’t in the clamps, but I am like a kid waiting to unwrap his birthday presents when I see a part of my project sitting in the clamps.

Today, tell us just how long you let your yellow (carpenters) glue-ups sit in their clamps. Are you someone who rushes to strip the clamps off or can you wait for a good long time before you take the pressure off?
