When I glue up a panel I keep one face in contact with the clamp bar. That gives me flat panels. But even a little ‘squeeze-out” will cause a steel bar to stain the wood. What’s more, that glue sets up in a bar’s fine notches, making it harder to slide the adjustable part. My solution is a small piece of waxed paper wrapped around the bar, and secured with a button magnet. The paper doesn’t fall out, and panels come out dead flat with no iron stains. You don’t need to wrap the whole bar, just a couple inches where the joint will be.

Good tip about the shrinking biscuits; I didn't know about that. I keep hand planes around almost exclusively for jointing & find that they do a far better job far more consistently than any machine can. They're also quick, quiet, compact, & create virtually no mess. I am going to have to get a thicknesser though; planing faces by hand is not kind on the arms. Edit: Just remembered another tip. For smaller panels, you can get flat & smooth granite "worktop savers" for kitchens & sticking one of them, inverted, on top of the panel does an excellent job of applying just enough weight to prevent cupping. I like to put plastic wrap around mine in case I forget to remove it before the glue dries too much, but then it's just a quick bit of scraping to clear up any squeeze-out.

I might put a biscuit in the end grain joints so help strengthen those seams. You don't need biscuits for the long grain seams, but biscuits do help with alignment. Just don't set the biscuit slots close to the surface or you may see a slight indentation develop overtime that will catch the light.

I’m gluing up a 12’x17” countertop for custom cabinets I built. I had to work the walnut up into 2” strips. I’m a little nervous, but I intend to work up 2 strips at a time until I get one section 8” wide. The second section will be 10” this will allow me to be able to run the piece through the surface planer as an option if there’s an issue. Hopefully sanding will suffice. Both pieces will be glued together and I may use biscuits to assemble the two halves. I’m more nervous about attaching it to my cabinets than anything else. Needs to move but not too much. Of course it will have a face etc., but I’ve made mistakes of not allowing for expansion and contraction, so it’s priority high this time.

Thanks, your video was very helpful, I appreciate it. You didn't talk about the width of the boards, for gluing panels... In woodworking school I've been taught that ripping board to 44mm strips, alternating the direction of the rings, is a good way of preventing cupping, etc. Does this matter? Often a lot of 44mm strips are required, to make a large enough panel, so it would certainly be a lot easier to use wider boards, like 70-100mm. This is also what I see a lot of other woodworkers do, on Facebook, KZbin, etc.... I hope you can help me out here. Best regards.

I can't speak to a video I haven't seen, but I don't know how they could make such a blanket statement like that. In my experience, if you put the right amount of glue on one surface, and those two surfaces meet properly, they will bond just fine. If you do not put enough glue on the single surface, or the two are not sufficiently pressed together to spread the glue, the joint could fail.

Nothing, because each strip in the panel would have it's own tension, independent of those beside it. For a panel to warp, the tension of all the strips must be similar so they can warp together. Otherwise, they cancel each other out.

Panels have always been my downfall and I still try and steer clear of them, being a weekend hobbyist and beginner. This video has been very helpful and informative, and I'd like to try making one again. But can I ask a question? After an hour, you scrap the squeeze out, but when is the glue strong enough to be able to remove the clamps? I'm usually stuck with glue squeeze out under my clamps that I just can't get to and as you mentioned, once hardened, very difficult to sand. Could you go further into the gluing portion, removal and sanding the panel in a future video by chance? Or any advice you could offer me?
@StumpyNubs3 жыл бұрын
An hour is just a generalization. Just scrape the glue off when it gets lumpy. By that time you can gently move the clamps to get under them. I usually let my panels sit overnight, but a couple hours should be enough time to remove the clamps unless it is very humid in your shop.

Hi James. If I have a lot of 4 inch x 3/4th inch x 10ft pine lumber and ONLY a handheld circular saw, how can I get straight edges? I’d like to glue these boards together but I don’t have a jointer and using a hand plane over 10ft long edges might not work.

It's tough to joint 10-ft edges without a long bedded jointer. I would tune up the table saw for it's best cut, and just skim the edges. Then use lots of clamps.

@@danthechippie4439 Not at all. Grain rarely runs in one direction down the length of a board. You may get the cathedral shapes running the same way (and you should do that for appearances), but the grain may rise toward the surface or fall away from it depending on the side of the board you use. You may try to flip all the boards so the grain all runs downhill, but this sacrifices appearance for a battle that is not always winnable. Grain can fall at the start of the board and then begin to rise again half way down its length.... Also think of the tops on antique furniture where the growth rings were alternated by flipping every other board (something that I think is unnecessary nowadays). That practice meant the grain would rise and fall differently from board to board along the width of the panel. The direction of the plane would have to be reversed from one boar in the panel to the next... My point is you aren't likely to plane a whole, wide glued-up panel in just one direction, anyway. So go with what looks best :)

@StumpyNubs3 жыл бұрын
I don't see the point in most cases. You are essentially making a tongue and groove joint. It may help to align the edges, but biscuits are better for that because they do not count on the board being perfectly flat when you cut the groove. And a biscuit joiner is faster. Even so, you don't need anything to strengthen a long-grain edge joint. However, an end grain joint, such as a miter, will definitely benefit from a spline.

@@ralhmcc47 Hide glue is typically used so joinery may be repaired, particularly on chairs. I can't imagine why you would need to repair a seam in a panel. Perhaps an argument could be made for hide glue in a panel glueup that has many pieces because hide glue has a longer open time. But the panel in this video had a lot of pieces, and Titebond 2 worked quite well.
