I have 4 pieces of walnut, a bit over 1/8" thick, and about 5" wide and 18"
long.

What is the best way of edge gluing these together?

I have tried clamping, (and taping) but can not see how to keep all the
pieces level with each other. To make matters worse, the pieces are
perhaps +- 1/16" of each other in thickness. I don't have a drum sander,
so was hoping to glue them so one face is in a plane, and to sand/scrape
the other face smooth.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Harvey

Heres the way luthiers do it.

Thanks for the link. I now remember seeing the show, and that is exactly
what I tried! I think my problem was 1.)I am trying to glue 4 boards at
once. Perhaps 2 at a time would be better. and 2.) the pieces are a bit
different thicknesses, but this would again be helped by gluing 2 at
once, I think.

Thanks,
Harvey
