Copperman - How to make a Didgeridoo 6/8 - Glue and Clamp

Sixth of eight videos on How to Make a Didgeridoo.
Having hollowed the didge out, this video covers glueing and clamping it back together.
I had myself filmed making a couple of didgeridoos using the split wood technique. By filming the process from beginning to end I aim to share some of the knowledge and experience I have learnt over recent years. In turn this will hopefully help others to make their own instrument.

Its a powdered resin wood glue called Polymite, formally known as Cascamite. :-)

Thanks for the comment.

The torque setting on the drill I use is set to just below that of a hand tightened clamp so it will be to tight. The hand tightened clamp is by feel but the aim is to produce a decent bead of glue on both sides of the joint but not to squeeze too much out so the bond becomes poor.

Amazing videos!

I am trying to make one and I was listing to you and couldn't quite understand what you said.

What type of glue do you use?

Great video series!

How do you evaluate the correct torque on the band clamps on the final tightening?
