Drainage Luge

Step 2 Affix the reinforcements

Determine where you are going to put the trucks, length-wise, on the larger board. Cover the bottom of the strips with enough wood glue to affix, then attach the clamps. Wait for the recommended period then move onto the next step.

I recommend keeping the trucks towards each end of the board, but not at the very end. We've left roughly 4 inches on each end.

Careful using gloves, around machinery, it can be very dangerous. The gloves can get caught in the moving parts pulling you in.

true, generaly you shouldn't is what i've been taught, a splinter isn't that bad and i rearley get them, i wear gloves when using some tools, like grinders and when welding, but thats about it. Its much to easy to get the glove stuck on the equipment, like drill bits which can realy destroy your finger.

There are some times when you should, even when drilling. I had been drilling a steel plate and wasn't wearing gloves; the bit got locked in the steel and caused the plate to swing around and put a deep cut in my hand, which would have easily been prevented had I worn gloves. I would say gloves are based on the situation rather than the tool you are using- it's best to weigh which consequence is worse.

I would agree, but when drilling steel i was always taught to clamp it down.
