Gluing the carcase panels

Due to other work commitments I have not progressed very far with my masterpiece this week.

Today however I managed to Domino joint the panels for the carcase and to glue them up.

I used the smallest Dominos - 5 x 30mm, three for the carcase end panels and dividers and 6 in the carcase top.  To glue up I brushed on the glue to get an even spread to ensure a good strong joint.

For clamping I use my Bessey K-Body clamps, which are ideal for this task. Here is the carcase end panel clamped up.

Here is the carcase Top panel clamped up. Note the small 'F' clamps on the end to line up the face on the ends.  15 Minutes after clue up I scraped the glue off the surface, which is much easer than when dry.
