We made sawdust this morning.
Now let's get some glue on our fingers!
This is what we have to glue in place. We'll keep the binding and purfling separate - we won't glue them together - until they go into place. It will be easier to go around the curves that way.
So let's put some cyanoacrylate glue in the channels. Most of this first layer will soak right in and go away. It acts sort of like a sealer. I suppose I could be using "gap-filling" glue that wouldn't do that as much, but this is what I had laying around.
Then we can put in our first piece of purfling. Being careful to center one of the white blocks on the centerseam. Could have been a black block. I just wanted one of the checks centered on the seam. Of course, once it is painted, that will be a moot point!
Then we can add some glue to the top of the purfling for the binding. Previously I had marke the center point of a piece of binding with a silver Sharpie. It can be embarassing to start off center and run out of binding before you get to the end! (I wonder how I know that?)
