I figured since there's been more than one question recently about gluing frags, and since I had the camera and tripod handy last night while making some frags to trade, here's a brief series of snapshots.

Work area, tools, glue, and rubble prepared and ready.

Nice work. I have fragged alot of things but never taken pics. You have shown that something that might seem hard is really easy.

Well done.
 
Glad I could give a little back to the place that has helped me so much... especially you mods.
All of my successes so far with SW is a direct result of all of your help.
Thanks bunches!
