I was just wondering, how do you get so perfect glue joints, almost invisible. Is it the glue or the pressure?

They also have a huge old press that stuff gets put into after glue is applied.

oh I would I love to work there, I visited the factory on 25th Sept 2000, it was the day I was made redundant, even though I am from then UK I would just sweep the floors, make coffee, tidy up.
Maybe advise them on Occupational Health since that is my profession.
If you have a 'bucket list' at some point in your life then make a visit to the factory top of your list.

Oh, although, I would like to know, what glue do they use?

Its simple - top quality planer thicknesers produce perfect square edges that mate perfectly...add good quality wood glue, clamps and ....voila!

All Alembics are held tighly together with good old PVA!!

Eh.... Graeme, I think the aforementioned Evo stick would do a marvelous job on the kind of pieces of paper that probably clutter peoples desks - but certainly not luxurious, lusterous hardwoods

It's a wood glue John. I use it on most of my structuural joints when I'm building something in the house. I also used it when I made my first bass, A fretless Gibson RD copy that's been kicking around the house since around 1978.
