I've made this chopping block to protect my (future) workbench, because right now it is prettier than the particle board workbench we have now. It's a 3/4" maple plywood board laminated to a little longer 3/4" MDF board and a maple block glued in for chopping or paring operations that could use a stop.
Like this, paring part of the wedge for the Mini Plane, I used liquid hide glue with the "rubbed joint" method and no clamps. I really like the hide glue, I've talked about it with some full time production furniture makers and he hates the stuff, I wasn't sure but gave it a shot. I like it, I guess it's the weird-archaic-old-schoolness of hide glue that gets me. That and you can take it apart.
