Joining two rings together

The large tossing salad bowl walls are being assembled in this picture using metal hose clamps. A socket driver is installed in the drill to speed up the process and once the slack is taken out of the metal bands I use the hand driver to apply the final pressure.

Make sure all the joints are tight as well as ensuring the staves are levelled horizontally. I use Titebond 2 and allow it to dry at least overnight before placing it on the lathe..
