I am working on some vanity legs that are turned from blank made of 8 pie pieces
glued together.  At its fattest, the leg is almost 3” across.

My question - I have the wedge shaped pie pieces cut (with the help of
electrickery) and now I have to glue them together.  The 6” long sample that I
cut demonstrates that this ain’t easy getting al the pieces to point towards the
center so I am worried about the 28” lengths of the full legs.  Does anyone have
a glue-up trick?  I am thinking hose clamps for clamping, but first have to get
all the points in the same place.  I have thought of gluing it half at a time,
then the two halves, but no.

To complicate things, there is a veneer piece between each wedge, so what a mess
