If you don't clamp, and clamp hard, you get nothing like the full strength potential from the adhesive and the joints can readily fail (when by comparison if you do them properly they end up stronger than the wood around them). | |

Part of your problem may be a mistaken belief in how things like this are normally made, they aren't generally to shape and then glued together, rather they are glued together to a very approximate version of the final form and then shaped. So before the final shaping the form of the thing is much more amenable to conventional clamping since it's full of straight/square edges. | |

Show the specific things that you're trying to hold together and what types of clamps you've already tried and why they didn't work. Include photos and more detail. That said, I'd look to faster glues, like CA glue with accelerator. With thick glue on one piece and accelerator on the other it will cure in 10-20 seconds, so you can just squeeze it with your hands for a bit and then you're done. It can get expensive though... | |

| Apr 14, 2020 at 13:44 | comment | added | user5572 | What have you tried? If you want to make art from wood and glue, you should invest your time in several studies to work out your aesthetic and practicalities. Also, this question is a bit too broad for SE sites. It is understandable that you are asking for a broad discussion of your challenges, but Q&A sites work best with single specific answerable questions. | |
