This is a post for all the woodworking geeks out there!!
The are so many things you start to take for granted once you have practised them many times. One of which is gluing up. There are so many small things which can go wrong. The picture above shows the posh clamps which we now use for gluing up panels. They are really good at keeping the panels flat which can be a problem with traditional sash clamps.
We also have a certain way that we machine the edges before gluing to insure that even if the machine is slightly off the square the boards will still lie flat together.
Biscuit joints are also used to help increase strength but mostly to line up the boards so there are no steps which saves time when sanding the board afterwards. To increase gluing speed you can use a glue pot with a special end that fits into the biscuit slot saving a lot of time.
All that detail from a boring picture of panels gluing!!!!!!!
