Hi all,

Re: Ampico valve blocks

I might get criticized for this, but when gluing any wood together...
it is always preferable to use clamps if at all possible.  When I do
Ampico valve blocks I use 4 small spring clamps on each valve block
(cheap clamps from K-mart are fine). It might take longer, but works
great.  I use liquid hide glue because you have a very long time to
position the pieces together perfectly as you clamp them.  Have used
this method for many years and have had no problems with it.
