I wouldn't glue the pages together. If I'm picturing it correctly, I would just assemble as you like and pour a clear 2-part epoxy bar-coating over the whole thing.
Old Computer Manuals = Log like entity?
I have a bunch of old computer manuals where some are almost 1000 pages and hate to just dump them. I guess in a TEOTWAWKI (The End Of The World As We Know It) scenario I got plenty of TP, or fire material, but I would love to make something more useful.
I've thought about doing a table top in the vein of the end cut cutting board or table top.
Ideally I would get cut the books into 1/3's or in 1/2, get the top edges all flush, bolt or glue them together, then build a frame around them and cut the bottom edge even. After assembly I'd like to put some sort of clear finish on it to show it off.
The big question that I have is do I try to glue the pages together? Wet glue and expanding pages would pose a problem.
Your thoughts?
Guess I have a project for the week, or maybe should finish the other table….

Something like this. We used to use this product back in the "70's". Still going strong after all these years.
