any glue works yankee, and regular titebond..... but what tefer said, shelf life.  i have used all sorts of glue, titebond 2 is what i usually use now, but have found, over time, in bigger jugs, the glue doesn't like to  come out......... :D 

and yes i stored it in the house during winter months..... ;)

so maybe check the jugs before buying?

Yea, that's a good thought, I doubt I can us a gallon on just frames. Be better to get 3 and use it on both.

I have a gallon of titebond 3, 3/4 full, you can have for a dollar.  You can slice it up and use a disc at a time. Like tefer says, shelf life.

Funny,

I bought a gallon of 3 and it's already empty.

No moss growing on me. ;D

I was tired of buying the smaller titebond III squeeze bottles so I bought a gallon and filled up the empty ones I'd saved. When I start on the boxes I'll go through it quick. 2,000 feet of pine should work out to 140 deeps and 140 mediums. :)

Well don't forget that I also sell some. I also have plenty of boxes that need to be swapped out. I had this crazy idea at one time that it would be nice to have plenty of extras so that anything that needed a bit of paint or work could be swapped out and have it's life extended.
I found myself short on mediums last year so I will definitely need more of those. I had to extract and replace as quickly as possible when it would have been much easier to just put another super on.
If I have a friend stop by when I start, it really doesn't take all that long. Each step requires set-up time but once that's done and if you can keep at it, it goes quickly (except the painting part).

The jointer I have;



   Its old, rusty and loud, but it was CHEAP at a yard sale, and it REALLY works nicely..  adjust the front table down 1/8 of an inch
 and clamp the plywood block in place to use as a stop then shave away..

My dad purchased a table saw and a jointer from a friend of his years ago. I don't think he has used the jointer at all. Guess I will be.

It's Saturday, now you've finally got time to build some things for yourself.
Strangely, all your buddies have showed up to " shoot the bull" on your time.
Hitting the switch on the jointer/shaper, sends them all scurrying for their vehicles fast.
