In Response To: Material: Gluing Oak corners (Robert N Pruden)

: Greetings and Happy New Year, Y'all,

: I am working on a couple 'o display cases which will serve as
: memorials for someone who died and whom others want to remember.
: I have spent many hours creating the oak casing for the display
: boxes. The corner angles and grooves have been cut and the edges
: routed. What I need now is to know which glue will work best to
: glue the corners of the oak pieces and hold 'em reasonably well.
: The corners will also be supported with metal fasteners on the
: back. Clear plexi-glass will be inserted into cut grooves to
: create a clear and protective cover for the stuff that will be
: saved within the cases. Any ideas will be appreciated.

PVA, Titebond is the standard in furniture. Use a biscuit or a routed spline for areas with big change in humidity, the smaller the width, less the issue.
