| I hope this was the right section, but anyways...
I'm making a grind box/manny pad, and I wanted to know if Gorilla Glue would work for putting on the coping, because all of the epoxy that I can find are small amounts. |

| Oh I have hot glue nvm then. Would 3 in. C clamps hold the box well when gluing the top piece to the sides/supports/legs/bottom/whatever it's called? Not for the coping and wood part. |

| Is this a tenon saw? I need to know right now, because I might be going down to my hardware store soon.

| Sorry for the double post, but no one will see this. Is it ok to use hot glue for putting wood together? I would use wood glue, but I don't have enough clamps. |

| I wouldn't use hot glue to connect wood together. You can use wood glue without clamps, just hold it together for 15 minutes or so and then put it in a safe spot to dry before connecting the next part. |

| I used hot glue at first, then I just scraped it all off and used wood glue. I have to get the other side though. But I only have two legs, because the other two are uneven. I used aluminum coping on one side and steel on the other. |

Uneven? "Measure twice, cut once." Words to live by. |

No, my cut was uneven and I cant find the measuring line.
Edit:It was my first time using a jigsaw so that was probably why I messed up. |
