I just finished an involved glue-up on one of two wood sewing boxes I am building. With the shop hovering between 90 to 100 degrees for the last two weeks I was afraid I would get too rushed in the assembly process.
I like to do a brush glue coat to prime the grain, especially end grain. Then do an assembly coating. I had eight combined joints that had to all come together at the same time. With the shop at 85 I was still a bit nervous as the glue was setting up quickly.
My preparation was good and well planned so everything went as expected. That's the box in the clamps right now. My process avoids excessive squeeze out. There was almost none. I like to see a tiny bit as that proves the joint is tight and the air is out.
Box two will get the same as soon as the clamps come off number one. The parts are in the pile on the right hand side.
