In my blog of earlier today [see below], I completely forgot that the beveled option test also required me to join the pieces with the biscuit joiner. My wife suggested that, before I try the biscuit joiner on the already-beveled wood, that I try it first on another test piece. So that is what I did. It was a good idea as I found that the corner clamps alone will not push the edges together sufficiently tight. I've rigged some wooden wedges that should help me in that task. The biscuits add another level of complexity [and something that can go wrong], however, they add considerably more strength than simply glueing-up the beveled edges. I've taken a few pics of the test piece and also a picture of the biscuit joiner that looks like some type of bug. Next, I will try the biscuits on the beveled walnut test pieces shown earlier today. BTW, I painted the ceiling of the bathroom, but still need to do the walls! Enjoy.
