Greetings,
I have decided to embark on a Ruger 10/22 build. I'm starting with the stock.
I want to glue three boards together, opposing the grain, to get a depth of about 2.50 inches. The starting length will be a minimum of 32". I do not have enough clamps for these. I thought I would glue them and put heavy moving boxes over them while they dried. I know that is not the best, but is doable. I also plan on putting glue over the ends to slow drying.
I'm looking at popular as a tried out and red oak for the final. I'm planning on buying from Home Depot. I plan on the glueing, marking date, and letting them sit for two-three months plus. I want them to get set for the area humidity wise before working on them.
Am I on the right track with this mini laminate blank idea?
