The wood glue that I ended up with is Elmers Professional Wood Glue. It seems to be very similar to Tite Bond 2.

I am planning on using the wood glue any place that may need sanding. I also plan to use CyA, and Epoxy where appropriate.

The improvised wedge clamps are clothes pins. I wanted to do something different here.

The weights are 1 pound ingots made from melted wheel weights.
