Good point. My pieces were 'in halves', so I had only 2 to deal with.
I plan on gluing up the top in a similar fashion. 2 pieces at a time to
build up sections. Then, I'll glue each section to another section, etc.

That's about what I used. (combo of Quick Grips and pipe clamps)



Eventually, I'll get around to developing the pictures of the base in
progress, and maybe even get them on a web site...item #1045 on the
'to-do' list ;-)
