it's been a couple of days and i think the top and wedge sandwich is fairly dry. when the clamps are released, i get this:
if i put them next to one another, i get this:
not exactly usable :) its time to shoot the planks on my make-shift shooting board:
the joining begins when no light peeps through the joint when both boards are held together. joining is done with crazy glue of course. one board is nailed to my bench and the other is pushed against it. crazy glue is squeezed onto the seam and the glue shoots through very quickly, accelerator is sprayed onto the joint to make the glue dry instantly. excess wood is cut off with the band saw.
the back is now nailed onto the over-sized top temporarily. this way, i can file the edges until both the top and back look the same. i pencil some purfling on the top is see how the corners look.
to be continued...
