I had to glue the cutoff back on, so now I have to wait, until
tomorrow,
to circle saw the proper lines. Two pics- the stock and the glued
assembly:

That's a lot of clamps!

When I needed to laminate thin strips onto a board to create a matching
"side
grain" I used thicker pieces of wood as sort of cauls so that I could
use
fewer clamps. In this image I am laminating both edges of the wider
board
with an ~1/8 strip. (laminate can be seen peeking out near the left
most
clamp).

I covered the cauls with clear packing tape to prevent the clue from
getting
on them.


For 1/8" or less, I just iron them on, no clamps needed.


Iron them on with what? What adhesive?


White glue. It is thermoplastic.

Coat or or both surfaces, let dry, use iron at hottest setting, trim edges
when cool. I generally trim with a tiny plane, sometimes with a
four-in-hand file. Works fine, been doing it for more than 30 years.
