There's several kinds of glues of interest in the average woodworker's
shop:

CA Glue, which is used to glue fingers together so you have to step away
from your project for a bit. Allegedly, it can be used to glue wood but
it never seems to make it on to the wood.

Wood Glue: A yellow colored glue used to dull sandpaper and create deep
marks in the wood as you try to remove it with chisels. Best used by
slopping it all over your project, as noted rec.woodworking member
JazzWoman or maybe his buddy Noel says, "Wood glue should be a
significant portion of your project costs."

Contact Cement: A smelly efficient glue used to permanently join two
pieces at the wrong spot. After a few hours of breathing the vapors (who
reads the warnings?) you won't care and will probably head in to the
computer to post a message containing only a single letter.

Latex Paint: This doesn't look like a glue, but if you've ever tried
opening windows that have been painted shut you know it really is!

As to how they work: reasonably well with a little care.

Glue works like light bulbs only on physical objects. Instead of light
bulbs sucking light from a room, glue sucks space out between objects and
binds them tightly together.

I raise a foaming mug of Traditional Ale in salute, sir: your wisdom is
considerable, indeed!
