Last Sunday was a day for gluing and clamping. The carcass or frame of the desk is complete and so now we are moving on to filling in the carcass. These pieces include the side and back boards, stretcher (foot rest), and desk lid and writing surface. Because some pieces need to be wider or longer than the size of our original wood, we have to glue pieces together. To do this, one must cut and plane the sides of the pieces so that they will fit together with no gaps. Then you apply the glue and clamp the pieces together to sit for a few days.
Great picture- glad you obviously are having less trouble with that. It seems that the timing is perfect for you- it allows time for glue to dry and set up.
