My whole shop.
I'm with you Jesse - hate glue up....or rather, glue up hates me. I do all the steps - dry fit, clamp it up dry, check all the corners and joints...For me, the nemesis has to be glue-up. I always do a dry fit, but somehow the actual glue-up goes way differently. Either there's not enough glue or too much or something is out of alignment and I don't notice until all the clamps are off! Enough to turn a guy into a turner.
In Northern Ontario, the scientific term for pooky is GOOP and I done exactly what your friend Guido did for exactly the same reason....
Per's comment about roofing tar reminds me of an old buddy of mine, Guido. One day we were up on the roof of a cabin getting ready to patch a few places with pooky (the scientific term for asphaltic roofing cement), and Guido scooped up a bit of pooky on the trowel and smeared it on the thigh of his jeans. He said no matter how hard he tried, he knew he'd get some on himself, so he figured he's just get it out of the way at the beginning so he didn't have to worry about it.
