Gorilla Glue. I use it to build bookshelves & cabinets. It is great if you are using biscuit joints.

Big points to Joyce B for the Woodgears site. I found that a couple of years ago during a sleepless night and found it entirely too fascinating. Wood glue is PVA - polyvinyl acetate - just like Elmer's. There's some other stuff added, but it's essentially the same thing. You use wood glue because unlike those other glues you mention, it hits the mark in several key areas: it's very inexpensive, it's very strong, and it's completely compatible with the materials involved. Wood glue doesn't thrive in wet applications. Good, neither does wood - generally. More on that in a minute. Get wood glue hot and it softens. That's okay too, get wood hot and it burns. People don't get their wooden items hot on purpose, generally. Over time, a stressed wood joint will "creep." But it's nothing to engineer a joint that isn't stressed that way, so if it's a problem you have, you should reexamine your building practice. And the stuff is cheap, so you can make a bigger joint, spread glue throughout the whole thing, and fake your way to success by simply carpetbombing the entire problem with brute force. A well made, snug-fitting joint holds best, but in a pinch a large sloppy joint with plenty of glue can get the job done. Epoxy is completely compatible with the materials, but unless you're doing something that requires rather a lot more of the glue, like building a boat or airplane, it's a lot more capable than you need. Epoxy is fantastically strong, but once your joint is stronger than the wood around it, that extra strength isn't helping things...unless you're asking the glue to do something else, like keep the joint watertight and waterproof the rest of the boat, or resist heat, etc. The added expense and somewhat tricky mixing and application make epoxy a choice held in reserve for applications where its combination of qualities make it the most economical choice. That's the quickest example. If you do a little research on glue, you'll find plenty of other reasons why wood glue is the first and best choice for the vast majority of wood joints that need to be held still.

Answer 5

I just came across a site with over 16,000 downloadable woodworking plans at:
http://tinyurl.com/WoodWorkingTedPlans

Here is an honest review

If you want to start a woodworking project, you need all the necessary information, including schematics, blueprints, materials lists, dimensions etc. That is where TedsWoodworking comes in. The plans are clearly drawn and there're step-by-step explainations of how the plan should be done and put together.

There are several other sites whose collection of plans have the dimensions totally wrong without any indication of parts lists, material lists or the tools needed. If you're one of those people who have bought plans like this in the past, TedsWoodworking will change your perception.

In Ted's Woodworking you will get everything you need:
-Diagrams which are detailed with a full set of dimensions
-Step -by-step instructions how to start your project
-The necessary materials for that particular project
-All the woodworking tools you will need

If you are a beginner or have done some woodworking you will find these plans easy-to-follow as the instructions are very clearly written. The woodworking plans are straightforward so they are not complicated at all. Even if you are a total newcomer to woodworking you will simply be able to master all the techniques that are needed and the woodworking skills very quickly by following the concise and clear instructions.

Another thing which is so great about these woodworking plans is that there have been some videos included and there are some to guide you in how to build benches home furniture dog houses bird feeders sheds and much much more.

There is also a lifetime member acess included in the package and you get these extras for no cost to you as they are free with no additional charges at all! This alone is worth the entire price for TedsWoodworking.

Ted Mcgrath is a very dedicated and experienced woodworker who knows what he is talking about when it comes to woodworking and DIY projects s he has been a woodworker for many many years.

Cons
There is only one drawback that we could find and that being with 16,000 woodworking plans you are bound to get some which look a little disorganized but that is understandable as it is very difficult to place all these plans into their proper categories. Secondly, it might take you a little longer to do the downloads on because of the size of them. But the members area include an option to upgrade to the DVD so you can save time on downloading.

Bottom line:
Truth is, I've been a carpenter for almost 36 years, and I haven't found anything like this for less than 10's of thousands of dollars.Here's the bottom line: If you are planning to start on your woodworking project, this isn't something you SHOULD use, it's something that you would be insane not to.

Answer 6

Depends on the application, and to a lesser extent: the wood.

I use Elmers wood-glue for just about everything hobby application involving balsa, bass, and pine-wood.

I use a contact-cement for applying veneers.

I use Liquid Nails for construction-grade work, and Gorilla glue for laying up composites.

Good luck !

Answer 7

Titebond - the joint will be stronger than the wood itself. They use this to glue guitar necks in place, makes a very strong joint, for life.

Any other PVA glue should be decent too.

Don't use any superglues, as you won't be able to finish the wood.

Answer 8

Locktite WoodWorks is very good glue for wood.

Answer 9

Wood glue. LOL.

Gorilla glue works well too. Just be careful and don't glue your fingers together! ;-)

Answer 10

glue wood

I know the perfect solution if you are just starting with woodworking and also if you have already experience with it. I reccomend to give a look to this website ( woodworkingplans.kyma.info ) You can find a lot of woodworking plans and you will be able to manage the projects with a CAD/DWG software. It allows you to modify the projects and to alter the arragements. If you are a beginner this is the easiest way to start, it's the best approach to woodworking; and if you already have experience you will find a lot of ideas and inspirations to improve your abilities with woodwork. I'm sure that you will love it!
