This morning I unclamped base side two and trimmed and sanded it. So the next step is to fasten the base sides to the front. But before I do that, I wanted to test the entire process using the pine test panels I had built previously. I cannot be too cautious here as it all needs to fit together and be square and level. Further, I wanted to test using the biscuits in this glue-up. I am using the smallest [size 0] biscuits as the joins are right next to the edges of the panels. Since the biscuits expand considerably [as intended], I need to be sure using them does not blow-out the edge joints. So with my wife's help, today I went through the entire process gluing-up and clamping a test pine board to the pine panel. I have provided pics of side two, the front and sides temporarily setup, and the production process using the pine boards. If all goes well, tomorrow I will proceed with fastening walnut side one to the front panel. Click on photos to enlarge.
